    Jason Mraz, I'm Yours

    Jason Mraz is an American singer/songwriter who hailed originally from Mechanicsville, Virginia. After a brief stint in his youth at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, he wound his way to San Diego, California, where he played the coffee houses and focused on his songwriting. Influenced somewhat by the music of his youth (Stevie Wonder, New Kids on the Block, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin), Mraz's style is a blend of folk, pop, rock, reggae and hip-hop. He currently is a raw foodist (with occasional lapses) who owns an avocado farm in California. He also likes cats.

    Mraz's major hits include "Remedy (I Won't Worry)", "Geek in the Pink" and "I'm Yours". His studio albums are Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Mr. A-Z and We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.


    Jason Mraz provides examples of the following tropes:

    Mraz: I have a bisexually open mind, but I have never been in a sexual relationship with a man. If the right one came along, then sure.

    • Digital Piracy Is Evil: Averted, strongly. Mraz generally supports bootlegs (and often prefers people experience his music live than studio), felt honored when people "couldn't wait until We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things was officially available that they downloaded the songs beforehand", and allows high-tech recording equipment (audio only) at his concerts. This troper also went to one of his performances, where every other person had a cell phone or was recording.
    • Dream Team: teamed up with Colbie Caillat, for a song called "Lucky"
    • Follow Your Heart: See page quote.
    • Genre Busting
    • Improv
    • Incredibly Long Note: In "Plane":

    You keep me high-iiiiiiiiigh....

    • Intercourse with You: "Butterfly", "Tonight, Not Again"
    • Last-Second Word Swap: He likes this trope a lot. To date:
      • Geek In The Pink: "Well I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums/ who wouldn't care if you come.../plete them or not."
      • Butterfly: "Bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch/ cause they're the perfect jumping off point/ gettin closer to your butt/erfly."
    • Motor Mouth: Lampshaded in "Wordplay"
    • Obsession Song Probably "Coyotes"
    • Real Men Wear Pink: See "Geek in the Pink":

    I don't care what you may think about me
    You'll get by without me if you want
    Don't judge me by the color, confuse it for another
    You might regret what you let slip away
    Like the geek in the pink

    With a tiger spot on my back
    Living life of a cat
    I just wanna relax here and write another rap tune
    Driving off on your blind man's bike
    You can say just what you like
    Or nothing can stop you

      • Lampshaded with "Wordplay," which makes fun of the use of nonsense syllable refrains.
