Reaching For Stars

Today's Jason Jam-

I'm Yours (album version).

It's fitting, seeing how popular it is.  It was nominated for 3 Grammys (which will be on CBS on February 8th!).  Mraz and crew were very surprised with it's success.  It crept up on them out of nowhere.  It was written by Mraz and has chords that are impossible for me to play without a capo

In my personal opinion, the song is amazing.  I first became obsessed with it when I acquired the leaked demo version (which is just as popular as the album version, but isn't played publicly) in August of 08.  I may have actually blogged about it- I'll get back to you on that.  I prefer the album version to the demo version for a few reasons:

1. The song clarity.  As soon as you hear the opening chords, you can tell the difference.

2. The scatting in the middle (and the end, if listening on the album, not the radio).  Do ja do do but do ja?  Hahah

3. Near the end, when it splits into dual melodies, I prefer Jason against the choir to Jason against himself.  It sounds nicer.

4. I love it when he goes, " Dis oh dis oh dis is our fate.  I'm yours."  Hehe- idk, I'm just obsessed with that part.

I'm one of those people who, every time they hear the song, at the same part, turns to the nearest window and draws a smiley face in time.    I just love the song to death.

And guess what I just found out??

Guess who's gonna be on SNL on January 31??

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!
