Hands Up

最近剛過32歲生日的Jason Mraz，相信大家都聽過「I'm Yours」這首席捲多國排行榜的夯歌。常常play這首歌，其實我並沒有趕上一開始的熱潮，反倒是等到他與Colbie Caillat合作了「Lucky」才搭上他，相較於「I'm Yours」在美國擁有Top 10的成績，「Lucky」並沒有像它名字一樣幸運得到和「I'm Yours」一樣優秀的成績，最高名次#48，但在美國之外的地區卻得到不錯的迴響。

我在好多比賽場合看到很多人拿著吉他唱著Jason Mraz的歌曲，才知道原來Jason早已形成一股風潮捲上這些同樣熱愛彈吉他的人們，弔詭的是有時我覺得同學們唱的還比Jason更有味道更好聽。在51屆葛萊美獎還被提名為「Grammy Award for Song of the Year (Coldplay獲得)」與「Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (John Mayer獲得)」， 這首歌更是他出道以來最成功的單曲。

在iTunes數位銷售方面也創下漂亮的紀錄，賣出了4,005,000下載次數，成為第4個擁有破4百萬的歌手，第一名，「Low」by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain (4,938,000)，第2名「Apologize」by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic (4,270,000) ，第3名「Crank That Soulja Boy」by Soulja Boy Tell'Em (4,183,000)，第五名「Just Dance」by Lady GaGa featuring Colby O'Donis。


Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!
