雖然，這陣子只要張開眼睛，見到的就是沮喪下墜的數字。打開耳朵，聽見的就是哀淒搖頭的嘆息。但在這個如此灰色鬱悶的時刻，卻有那麼一個人，每回都能讓我在他清亮暢快的歌聲中，心情也跟著樂符飛揚了起來。讓我在此獻給你，美國流行樂手 Jason Mraz ---『I'm Yours』。
『I'm Yours』
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 people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved 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 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 that the sky is yours
So 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!

Jason Mraz，1977出生於美國維吉尼亞的樸實小鎮，在紐約唸大學時主修音樂劇；有一天他拿起吉他，突然發現自己的天命，於是便在畢業之後，跑到聖地牙哥當起街頭藝人。在這段時期，Jason和自稱是靈媒的流浪漢成為心靈夥伴，他也開始四處流浪探索人生，在這過程當裡，Jason很幸運遇到生命中的貴人：知名音樂人鼓手Toca Rivera，兩人一同演出的精彩現場表演紀錄，也成為當時美國網路間最廣為流傳的行家級必備珍藏。
2002年，Jason Mraz順利獲得唱片合約，推出首張專輯【Waiting For My Rocket To Come】，專輯一推出隨即攻下全美熱門潛力榜亞軍，並獲得了白金銷售認證，當中的《The Remedy (I Won’t Worry) 》、《You and I Both》也都成為傳唱度極高的單曲。2005發行第二張原創大碟【Mr. A-Z】，立即空降美國告示牌TOP5，而Jason Mraz擅長把玩文字的創意，也在這張專輯裡作了更淋漓盡致的發揮。
在發行兩張專輯、參加無數現場表演以及一連串的宣傳行程之後，Jason利用一年的時間，讓自己回歸到一般生活裡。在簡單生活的幾個月之後，源源不絕的創作靈感不停自腦中滿溢出來，自然而然地匯集結成第三張專輯【We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things】，「悠活才子」以全新能量在第三張原創專輯中活出自我。每個人的心裡都住著一個孩子，曾經不想長大的Jason Mraz這一次終於彎下腰來，牽起那個跟他有著一樣微笑的孩子，手拉著手一起走出自在的步伐。
