    A month later, I still love this album. There are maybe two songs where I feel like he got a little TOO basic, but overall it's solid. "I'm Coming Over" is his best track vocally in all of his music.

    I don't think it's a cover... if it is I can't find anything about it. There was a movie/TV series called "Freedom Song" but no actual song.

    Couldn't find it on Youtube or anywhere, but for those Spotify users, you can hear the original here: http://open.spotify.com/track/7kkFJrNauEgLQX2s2r1vB6

    1. I looked up Freedom Song Jason Mraz Cover and got the artist name.
    2. I looked up the artist name in Spotify.
    3. I looked for the song on the artist page.

    I searched close to that exact same thing on Google and got nada. Just some shitty Danny Glover movie. Oh well. I don't have Spotify so I can't listen regardless.

    Wait, this is a cover of a song that came out in 2009? And he chose it as the album opener? I don't understand that. It's just bizarre.

    You should get it! It's free and will change your life!

    Although the original version of this song won't change your life.

    I think he might have toured with them recently and guested with them on it, and liked it a lot? I may be wrong, but pretty sure I read that.

    Interesting. Funny that the other lead singer looks totally like Mraz in that 1st video.

    I wonder if Jason is using any of the royalties and proceeds from that song to give back to that organization. Would be kind of douchey if he didn't considering it's not his song.

    Saw him opener for DMB in Nashville in 2009 and he was good. I only recognized I'm Yours though. I've heard some of his studio stuff, but not enough to really know anything about him or his music.

    He's pretty talented though.

    I was watching that first video going wtf is that REALLY Jason? Then I realized he came in later in the video. He's a real charitable dude, I'd have to imagine royalties and some proceeds are going somewhere other than his pocket.

    Anyone catch Jason's Storytellers? Very cool, but not the best performances. He had some chick playing violin and singing harmonies and Toca wasn't there. The chick ruined it. She was not good, at all. I would have rather him done it solo. Either way, it's worth a watch just to hear him talk about some of the songs.

    She sucked....Why does he always change up his band. So annoying. Just keep Toca and the rest of them.

    I'm hoping it was just for the smaller Storytellers stage and intimate crowd, but then why wouldn't he have just gone acoustic with Toca? That was THE best concert I have ever seen, back at Carnegie in NYC. I almost don't wanna go see him full band, but I'm going to anyway. Either way, yea, that chick sucked. She couldn't hit a note to save her life. And cherry on top, her violin was out of tune.

    She was terrible. Also, a pretty wild story about I Won't Give Up. I really think that's one of the best songs he's ever written. I thought it was average the first time I heard it. A little girly, but still good. But it honestly gets better every time I listen to it.

    My feelings exactly on it. I heard it at Carnegie for the first time and liked it, but it was just another song for me. Then the single came out and I started coming on to it more and more. Now, I think it's one of the best songs he has. His life is so fucked up man. Between the engagement, then breaking it off, then dating a new chick but still being friends... and now the album is more or less about the old chick, while he's still dating the new chick!
