The Nite of Mraz
Last night was Jason Mraz live at The Forum.And I was lucky enough to go!
He's a very talented man and it was awesome to finally see him live! So so worth it!
The only disappointments came with the crowd requesting songs to the point of annoying and rude, and Mraz choosing not to play a few of the faves.
But having said that, it was a tops evening!
Highlights included a beautiful song he sang, just him and his guitar, one i'd never heard of before but simply gets the response 'wow'! As well as of course pre gig catch ups and crazy car trips with the wonderful people I went with - cheers guys, good times! You made the night almost as much as Mraz...almost ;)
Its all about the wordplay people...and it was brilliant!

The 'WOW' song is:
'God moves through you'
(it's adapted from 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran)
Lyrics:
you were born together
and together ye shall be forever
until death should scatter
it wouldn't matter in the memory of God above
let the wind of heaven dance between you too
allow the space and time to bring you closer to everlasting love
cause God moves
what do you do
God moves through you
when love beckons
his ways are often hard and steep
when his wings enfold
ye yield to all he speaks
the sword it might be hidden there among his pinions
oh you may wear a wound that truly spoke to you
believe in all that voice and follow through
follow so on and on
what do you do when God moves through you
what do you do
say i do
i do
just remember love possesses nothing
nor would it ever be possessed
oh love is love sufficient unto love
and you can figure out the rest
your children will not be your children
they are the daughters and the son of a beginning
they'll come through your womb but not be coming from you
they will be with you but do not belong to you
you may give them your love but not your thoughts
then they'll arrive with their own hearts
they're the coming of angels this blessed season
and then they'll sing oh how God rests in reason
God rests in reason
so what do you do
ooh when God moves through you
what do you do
say i do
i do
think not you can direct the course of
love itself directs the course allowed
believe not God is in your heart, child
but rather you're in the heart of God
what do you do
say i do
i do
i do
think not you can direct the course of
love itselfs directs the course allowed
believe not God is in your heart, child
but rather you're in the heart of God
what do you do
ooh when God moves through you
remember God rests in reason
say i do
i do
Thanks for finding that Nath! :)
Don't know about you, but I'd love to hear him perform this song again!
No problem Chels.
First thing I did when I got home last night was try and find what this song was... And hey, it's good to share the MR.A-Z love!
Yeah, it would be fantastic to hear this again, especially if this time it didn't have a bunch of bogans yelling out for 'curbside prophet' over the top of it.... : )
