Reaching For Stars

Today's song, as promised is Geek in the Pink.

This is, by far, Jason Mraz's best song (penultimated by I'm Yours).  It's the first Mraz song I ever heard.  It was introduced to me by Tina, and it wasn't even the song we were infatuated by.  It was Greg Sanders.  And yes, I tried to post the vid itself here, but Webs hates me, so I'll try to embed and if that doesn't work, I'll link it.

But, yes, after watching the vid also my first GS youtube viewed) and declaring it the Greg Sanders anthem, I noticed how amazing the song was.  I downloaded it and listened to it alone for 2 weeks- it was before I had my Zune, and I could put my Samsung on repeat one, so I listened to it every day to and from school for 2 weeks straight.  My earbuds broke after that (no lie).  The lyrics were memorized exactly in three days.  I later noticed how fabulous the singer's voice was, and that was when the obsession was born.  But that's a whole other Oprah.

The song is amazing.  The lyrics are fantastic and creative- I love "My shot to mock you kinda puts me in a tight spot"- I used it in Starstruck and is often true for real life.  It's a feel-good song.  I just fricking adore it!!!!

I just realized that in the beginning, when Jason says, "Yo, wassup B?" he's adressing Bushwalla.  God, I'm dumb...

So there's your 44th song.

The list:

45. I'm Yours

44. Geek in the Pink

Enjoy!!

[Kay pause.  Teehee   So there's this Plane live vid I adore [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHFlUVe5SMo&feature=related ], and this one was reccomended for me on my youtube, and I noticed the setting- it's the same concert!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0lz06iPWTo&feature=rec-fresh+div  And I just realized that guitar has a third fret marker.  grrrr...]

On the positive side, it is still 44 days today because I, uh, added another song to the list- Warming Up...
