A few days ago, I was relaxing at home when one of my best friends, Tessa, texted me. She was freaking out, saying, "OH MY GOD, TJ, OH MY GOD I FOUND YOU A HUSBAND." She's always a little crazy like that, so I always just play along :)
"I'm at this swim meet out of town, and I was on the blocks right as they were about to start the race and I heard this guy singing Jason Mraz behind me. But he wasn't just singing Jason Mraz. HE WAS SINGING THE ASS-CRACK ZIPPER SONG!"
(In Tessa language, the "Ass-crack zipper song" is Older Lover Undercover, bahaha.) That's one of my Mraz favorites to just sing-a-long to when I'm bored, and I always play it while I'm driving, so she knew it pretty well too.
She seriously stalked this guy at this swim-meet for two days because she was so sure that he and I were meant to be, haha. Though, she failed at relaying my phone number to him, bahaha.
It's pretty awesome to have friends like that :)
Let's face it ladies...
He's bound to make babies with her. :P Sigh.
from here
Quite honestly, this is how I feel in relationship these days. Even more disgustingly, the word “creationship” comes to mind when referring to what my partner and I have – both of us in full-on dream/manifesting mode – that which is both the cause of our reunion and the cleverness of our daily progress.
What I've come to see is how life is just a kaleidoscope, light bouncing off of light - people being mirrors for everyone else’s light. I’m starting to realize our God and Goddess power by allowing our two dreams to merging as one. I suppose the deeper we go in this creation game we’ll end up with a baby. Is there anything more creative than that?

it happens..
Since I met JM I changed, he truly changed me, and seeing him change over the years allows me to realize how big and important is our self development, and how amazing is to be able to change, to accept ourselves and enjoy the ride!
A while ago I gave up on love, even though my parents look like newly weds and they've been together since they were 13 yrs old... I just thought there must be some people that aren't meant for that kind of love story. Then Mr. AZ happened, and a whole new way of thinking and instead of giving up I gave in... I accepted myself and everyone around me, and I appreciated and enjoyed every little thing. And then it happened, when I least expected: I met HIM. I met a guy, no.. I met THE guy... I couldn't possibly ask for anything else in a guy, he's just so perfect, I can be myself truly and entirely I can feel myself, I don't have to pretend anything. I have the most fun I had in years, I smile all day long, I’m almost afraid of being pinched an woken up in any moment.
So I think that one of the most important things I have learned about life is to be myself in each and every way that I desire to be.
I would also like to thank Jam for this space, for letting me know such amazing girls, ‘cause at first we were united by Jason, and a passion, but now I think we’re united because we’re alike, we’re very similar to each other, and yet so different and so unique that its just wonderful. Thank you Jam, thank you girls.
I truly hope to meet you in person someday; I promise myself I’ll hug u all…
Be Love.

Good afternoon/morning/evening/night ladies.
I'm sitting at a local coffeeshop in my town, currently. It's pretty dead for a Sunday afternoon right now. A cartoonist is sitting in front of me, sketching, and two girls are next to me, eating Otter Pops and writing in notebooks. I came here alone, this cafe is kind of my safe place outside of home. I don't really know what's on my mind right now. I'm kind of in this melancholy, contemplative state, where I just sit and think about everything and nothing all at once.
It's kind of funny how relaxed I am, considering how I just majorly dented my car, and I know that I eventually have to go home and face the wrath that is my father (if he ever finds out, of course, bahahaha).
Anyways, I've currently been obsessed with the movie (500) Days of Summer, and this certain song from the soundtrack had been on repeat in my mind.
Enjoy, ladies.
Keep the group emails 'a-coming, I'm really enjoying talking to you all!
:)

Ya know what I really, really love?
Hey ladies, I posted this up on tumblr last night, and I know some of you already read it, but since I made mention of a bunch of you and Mraz Women in general, along with the very inspirational Jason Mraz, I wanted to put it up on here, too...
Figuring things out about myself.
It sounds strange, but it really isn’t. I think right now, I’m at a really important phase of my life. That one where you figure so many things out, it can be either overwhelming or exciting. And I choose it to be exciting. When I was younger, I tended to follow the crowd. And I guess not really the crowd, more a certain group of girls who were the “popular ones.” I used to be a part of them, and regretfully this is so. I copied everything they did, from the clothes they wore to the music they listened to and I look back on it and think, “Wow, life must have really sucked then.” How could I have done that to myself is beyond me, but it is what it is, and now I can learn from it, so I’m grateful for that opportunity and I’m grateful to have found myself more and more over the years.
I started growing farther and farther apart from these girls and it was really because of so many reasons. While they wanted to be out in a party, I wanted to spend some time with my family (we’re really close). While they wanted to get the new Juicy Couture purse, I wanted to get a new Gameboy to play with my brothers. While they wanted to have a million play dates and sleepovers, I wanted to really concentrate on my schoolwork and study to impress all the teachers, proving to the world what I could do, all I could accomplish on my own. While they enjoyed bullying the people less social or less known than them, I wanted to stand up for those people. While they complained about their body image, wanting larger breasts and a smaller waist, I was perfectly content with my body and thought we were all beautiful. I tried to impose this onto them and perhaps convince them they were too, but they wouldn’t have any of it. While they were into Vogue, Seventeen, and Cosmo Girl, I wanted to be doing my homework assignments, putting in all my effort into that because that’s what mattered to me most at that moment. While they wanted to be at the mall buying out every single store, I wanted to be in the pool or beach. While they wanted to stand around in P.E. class and look at their nails and curl and flick their hair, I wanted to participate and GET ACTIVE AND PLAY WITH THE GUYS, hopefully show ‘em I was different.
It got worse. While they wanted to roll up their school shorts and skirts so high you could see the pockets, I kept mine at a normal length. While they wore bucket loads of makeup and splattered that goo all over their face at such a young age, I kept mine makeup free, all natural. While they constantly hounded me with questions, judging me for every single thing I said and did, I was struggling to lift my own spirits, afraid to go to anyone else. And that time in my life I really had no clue about who I was, where I was going, what I liked, what I disliked, and it makes you feel pretty helpless, much more easily influenced. I separated from them after I recognized these feelings.
Best move I ever made. Because when I see them now, all I see is a bunch of mindless girls who have so much potential. They could be so much better than what they are right now, and it makes me sad they didn’t take my path with me. It’s like they’re stuck in this imaginary vortex that doesn’t allow them to see the world as anything else except for behind the eyes of those mean little girls they were when they were younger.
Ya know, I have a story to tell you. To show you how mean they were…one day, two of them got together and decided to kick me out of “the group.” One of them invited me to her house and me, being the stupid, stupid kid I was, allowed her to influence me and convinced me to sing a bad song about the other girl. We both did it, but I sang the most. She was so into it and I felt so special because she was having fun with me and I feel “cool” for making her happy. I now know the real definition of “cool” is to be whoever the hell you wanna be. She secretly recorded the song and invited the other girl over to play it back. They confronted me at school on the playground and I was so, so crushed. I couldn’t believe it. We were friends for years, basically since birth. But I now know it was only really because the parents were friends. No worries, mom’s not friends with their parents anymore. Maybe that was supposed to happen? So I didn’t grow up to be like them.
Maybe that was a good thing to happen. To be separated from them the hard way, although I probably would’ve done it on my own, better sooner than later, I guess. I look at them now and while I see the pictures of them French kissing guys and posting them up on Facebook, holding up wine and beer bottles with a completely wasted look on their face, with that same dark makeup, with those heels higher, with those dresses shorter, pictures sleeping with guys, laughing at the straight F’s they get on their report cards while I get the straight A’s, cursing like maniacs, overusing the words “fuck” and “you” in a single sentence, I couldn’t be more happy with myself right now, this moment. And I think a really big factor that helped me figure out what this life is all about in the end is a few heroes of mine.
The first and biggest, being Jason Mraz, as many may already know. His music, his soothing words, his advice touched me so much and everything he said, I could relate with. And I mean, really, really relate with. I feel like I always had his incredible ideas constantly brewing up inside of me, but never really identified with them or knew how to fully and properly express them. I was also too afraid to take the chance. I was afraid of what people would think and how my “status” would change throughout the school. But Jason Mraz has made it cool to Be Love and Be Grateful. It’d be much too difficult to go through everything he’s taught me because we’d be here for awhile, but I think the biggest thing is just that, “There ain’t no rules to being cool” like he says in the WSWDWST DVD. It’s so simple, but I never really grasped it before hearing it from Jason. And that album, WSWDWST, it really talks about his self-discovery and how to live life to the fullest, not letting anything get in your way and bog you down, and I lived off that one CD for over a year. Nothing else. I learned all the songs. Broke down all the lyrics. Everything. And it’s helped like you couldn’t even imagine. I’m living so happy now and he’s made me feel like I really can do anything I want, like who I want, and figure out what I’m about. I’m such more of an aware person and the changes I’ve experienced over the last two years or so have been life changing, I know it.
The other hero is a teacher from last year who really, really helped me out, made me feel special. Both of them made me open my eyes to so many greater things to do with my life then sleep around and think your looks are everything. They’re really not.
I also need to thank Jam Regis for really opening her arms and allowing me into this amazing community of women over at MrazWomen.blogspot.com, and just allowing me to be her friend. My parents honestly never let me get a Facebook, but out of the blue one day, I decided to get a Twitter and I think Jam was one of the very first people who I could relate with, and made me feel really loved, especially with all that good advice she’s given me! I’m so grateful for you, and ever since I’ve been a part of Mraz Women, I felt like I was part of something really, really great. Not like that group of girls I associated with when I was blind to how to the world really worked. And I’m grateful for every single one them…Suzie, Christina D., Lisey E., Paula G., Dahlia L., Lucy F., Lesley M., Kayla K., Jessica R., Marissa M., May M., Stephanie D., Dana B. (whose tweets make me laugh like a crazy maniac), Nicole, and everyone else whose a part of it that I’m not mentioning. No hard feelings, it’s late, I’m tired. You guys have made me feel so special.
And now, I’m living really great because when someone asks me who my favorite artist is, for example, I can proudly say, “Jason Mraz.” When someone asks what my favorite clothing brand is, I can say, “Blend Apparel.” When someone asks who my favorite actor is, I can say, “Robert Downey Junior.” When someone asks me what my favorite show is, I say, “The Colbert Report.” And I know these are really silly things that everyone figures out as time goes by, but this is coming from the girl who answered every single fucking question with, “I dunno” because I was afraid of being judged for being myself. I hold my head up high and if you ask me anything, I’ll know the answer because I know who I am.
I’m Sasha. I’m not some mirror image of you, although I’m aspiring to have qualities like Jason Mraz because of how great a human being he is. I’m glad my role models aren’t slutty actresses, people who take drugs, and feel so “cool” for having sex with practically everything that moves. I’m glad they are you guys, everyone at Mraz Women and on Twitter who has constantly inspired me. I eternally thank you.

Hello there, friends :)
Hello friends and fellow Mraz lovers!
This is TJ here, the newest addition to the Mraz Women community, and I am so excited to be a part of this! :)
Well…how to start off? I am seventeen years old, and live in the California Central Valley. I just graduated from high school, and am going to attend our local community college in the fall. Film production is the name of the game in my case. I love movies and would someday like to move to Southern California and try to make my way into the rough and tumble business that is Hollywood. Live theater was my first love, though. I spent all four years of my high school career in our auditorium, acting and stage managing.
About two years ago, as a birthday present, my sister bought me Jason Mraz’s We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. I had been walking around humming and singing I’m Yours for well over a month, so she thought I’d enjoy it. This wasn’t my first introduction to Mraz though; a few years back I had purchased Mr. A-Z because I loved singing along to the fast paced word-jumble that was Wordplay, though We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things was what really got me hooked. I listened to that album constantly for months. In the meanwhile, I went on a thorough search of stores in my city for his first album Waiting For My Rocket To Come. I could not find a single store in my town that sold this album, but I would not give up!
Later on, in February of 2009, I went on a field trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon with my school’s theatre department. While roaming downtown, we came across a small CD shop called “To CD, Or Not To CD,” and in my mind all I could think was “Do they have Jason? I hope they have Jason!” I dragged my group of friends inside and went directly to the “M” section. I was ECSTATIC when I found Waiting For My Rocket To Come. I didn’t look twice at the price, I knew I had to have it. It’s been love ever since. I’ve downloaded an insane amount of his songs (I think my current total is up to 168) and other than my extensive collection of covers from the TV show Glee, he’s basically the only thing I listen to. My friends think my love for him is hilarious, but they say that I really wouldn’t be me without my love for the Mraz himself.
Feel free to check out my Twitter account at www.twitter.com/TJthetechie.
Here’s to being love, my friends! :)

Jam's Smile Track of the Moment VII
I just finished watching My Girl (Thomas J!) and My Girl 2 on HBO. So this is kind of making me feel good at the moment.
I mean, how can you NOT smile when you hear this song? :-)

Introducing: The MrazWomen Mailing List!
Hey girls!
In true MrazGal fashion, I have taken yet another step to push our sisterhood a notch higher into awesomeness... by creating a group email! That way, we can discuss things like the prospect of sending a stuffed animal all over the world, received by each and one of us at one point (sorta like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, only cooler) so we can sign it and send it to the next MrazWoman (Patty's idea!). Or I dunno, boy issues, family issues, things you don't want to publish publicly here. Anything really!
Expect an invite sent to your email (the one you use for this blog).
Hope to hear from all of you soon!

Cause, i'm drinking all the tears that you cry..
There are several Mraz songs i listen to when I'm crying, but this one must be on the top four.
1. Details In The Fabric.
2. You Make Me High.
3. Sunshine Song.
4. Stranger in the Sky.
There are days where I feel like my complete world has been turned upside down.
I feel like nothing matters, and that is when I hit the rock bottom.
Then, when no one else is there for me,
he comes to my rescue.
These two songs (the first two) are the ones where i feel like Jason is speaking to me personally.
"Hang on, help is on the way. Stay strong, i'm doing everything."
So, in a way, he is my personal savior.
(:
And you girls are my angels.
I'm going to try and be happy.
Not for anyone else, not for any reason, but just for myself.
I'm so tired of being unhappy.
Screw needing a boy to make me happy, that's just false happiness.
I'm going to be happy for me.
And i encourage all of you to do the same.
And you know, that if any of you need me, i am here for you.
WE all are.
Be love girls,
and love will become you.
love,
ChristinaMarie(:

Hey ladies!
It's been so long that I post here, but I had to share the smile tracks I am currently obsessing over at the moment. Her name is Zee Avi. And God, her voice is so pure, so beautiful and sweet. After being featured on the main page of YouTube, she was discovered by Brushfire Records, which is partly owned by Jack Johnson! And that's her story. She has a CD out, which I'm getting soon as I get my hands on an iTunes giftcard! Haha! :) I discovered her through the company, "Life Is Good." They posted a link to some free music downloads and Zee Avi's "Just You And Me" was there, and I instantly fell in love with it.
Here are some of her songs...oh, and I read somewhere in one of the comments that the reason she doesn't show her face in the videos is because she wants you to not focus on her appearance (although she IS pretty!), rather on the meaning of the music...the lyrics.
In joy,
Sasha
The last two are the same song...but it's the first song I heard from her, and easily, my favorite. <3
Wow, it's been awhile
Since i posted a blog.
I've been out at my Grandma's house for the past week or so, just happy to get away from my parents for awhile.
As a select few of you know, I had a slight breakdown this week.
Everything lately has been making me blow up.
I've been a wreck.
One minute crying, the next calm, then i'll have this uncontrolable rage, and throw a fit.
I've been really depressed for awhile, and most of it has been because i've been heartbroken.
I came to the realization two days ago, that i can't be like this anymore, and that i need to change.
This is hurting the people that care about me the most, and i have no excuse to put them through this, just because my heart is aching.
So, i vow to go on a mission to start focusing on the things that matter the most, and focus on my happiness.
And, i would like to thank Marissa for being there for me, and thank Jam for helping me meet all of these wonderful girls.
I'm friends with most of you on Facebook, and follow most of you on Twitter.
But to all the new girls who just joined, Welcome!!
Ana, Dawn, Viviane, etc.
You will soon realize that we are a family, and we are always here for each other.
However you are feeling, blog your hearts out!!!!
Also, i want to write an apology.
Dear Jason,
I am sorry that I haven't been listening to you at all lately.
I don't know if it's because i have been so depressed, or if i am depressed because i am not listening to Jason.
Or maybe it's just worsening it.
But i am trying to get my life back in order, and you are still the most major part of me.
I love you.
In fact, i love you all.
Sorry this is so long.
Bye,
Love,
ChristinaMarie(:

Soy Tuyo
I didn't want to share it in the same post..
I hope u girls don't mind..
I don't know if you'll understand the fun in the song, but since all of my friends know about my Mrazession (Mraz's Obsession)they shared it with me..
Its a mexican guy who translated Im Yours (but I could swear he used a bad online translator) and changed the genre of the song..
Enjoy? lol

after some time away...
Its been a while since I've been trying to write an entry. Normally we tend to write extreme emotions, such as sad things or really happy events.. And its funny because a month ago was my birthay, so I guess Im supposed to have an extreme emotion that day.
What I'm trying to say is that every single day has been amazing, enjoying the ups and downs of life...
In a quick summary, i was able to see my brother (who I really missed) I went on vacations with my family, two lovely weeks: Four days of shopping spree, followed by one week of laying down next to the pool, playing in the beach, resulting with a terrible sunburn.. Coming back from vacations daddy went straight to the hospital, seems that something he ate caused him a weird 'bacteria cocktail' in his stomach leading to an all-inclusive one week stay at the hospital. He's finally home, and he seems better :) but he's gotten more paranoid than ever with stuff he eats!
I've been quite distant from my social life, but i think i needed it, a time for me.
During my shopping spree I bought JM Live at the Eagles Ballroom, & my bf gave me Curbside Prophet and Mr. AZ for my bday so now i finally own em all, im still missing a couple dvds and live records, but as for now ive got the three from studio and two live :D also i finally recieved my a thousand things photobook.. :D
Spending time with my family always gets me to think a lot, and also being on vacations with not much on my mind really gets my mind going, I guess I should read a little more, but I haven't been able to concentrate very good.
As always, and im sure most people do i love laying on my back on my wonderful bed and listening to really loud music, its amazing :D
So being able to think and to analyze what's being going on, added to some of the wonderful JM lyrics, I've been opening my mind into thinking different than how i normally do, its fun.. u girls should try it sometime! :D
But i guess that the highlight of my vacations is my new daughter, damn i love that girl! She's the sweetest! She'es got gorgeous eyes, and lovely black hair. I love the little cute sounds she makes, and I love how she moves, with no concern at all....
Here i leave a pic of me and my baby 'Mafalda'
Thanks for reading, THANK YOU for posting.
Keep it coming girls, u can always cheer me up!
Be Love!
Besos!

Hello ladies!
All these introductions going on :-)
My name is Dawn from Georgia south of Atlanta, been here 11 years, before that grew up in Massachusetts. I am 30+ ( that's all I'm saying abt age ha ha ) and I am new to blogging, only started so I could post on J's blog and It's been fun finding out there are so many Mraz fan's. He is amazing and when I want to talk about him and what he's doing, I feel like friends and fam would think I've lost it. I mentioned it was his birthday in the car w/ my mother the other day and she gave me a weird look so I am escstatic to be able to gush about him on here with you guys! Yeah !
I first heard him about 3 years ago I think, I was peeking at Gavin Degraw songs on itunes and they give suggestions on the right side of stuff people liked who also liked Gavin and Jason's music was there so I always bee line for anything acoustic/live sound to it so I got the "Live at Java Joe's" album and loved it of course and then got everything else:)
Favorites vary depending on the day - Plane/ Galaxy/ Dynamo/If it kills me/ Live High/Coyote's/ Human etc etc I love them all, most nights I play the "Schuba's medly" it's 34 minutes and you can really feel him pouring his heart out in each note. mmm mmm mmmm love it.
I saw allyoldsoul post that his 2nd Brasil video was up on Youtube yesterday- He looks cute as ever. I am syked for him that he is back with Tristan- hope it works out- she has a great voice I was checking out some of her stuff on youtube "Hello" which I think is abt him and "Just a little bit" are just two songs if you wanted to take a peek.
Here is the addy for Brasil Video.
Thanks Jam for this Mraz adoring space you've got here for all of us - Love it ! ~D
Have a Great Weekend Everyone - Excited to get to know you all !

Hello mrazwomen!
Well... as Vivi introduced herself! I guess I should do the same :D
My name is Ana Diegues, I'm not from RIO (damn, wish I were) haha! Actually, I'm from a small town down south... in Brasil! It's a nice place to live!
Well, I must say that I'm a Mraz lover since I was in High School, Has been 4years now! OMG... what a lovely thing *.*
So here it goes the song wich made me fall in love with this man! This song made me really want to know more about Mraz, and guess what, Now I'm totally addicted! hahaha
I'm so grateful for being part of this community,
~Love,
Ana Diegues.
First shot
Hey, girls, what's up?!
It's my first time here and I guess I should introduce myself...
I'm Viviane, I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I'm a great fan of Jason Mraz for a long time. I'm very grateful to be a part of this community, I'm always glad to read what you girls share and I wish you enjoy reading what I've got to say.
It was a very thoughtful day to me, there is a lot of weird things going on here in my town.
And in some part of my day, I was sort of reminded of a Jason's new song, What Would Love Do Now.
Don't you girls think sometimes it doesn't seem people have enough love to spend? Or what would explain so much anger, hate and bad atitudes going on? I mean... it's been an awkward world! Wouldn't it be a lot better if people only listen to their hearts and do good stuff?
Anyway... just some ideas!
<3

Jam's Smile Track(s) of the Moment VI
Hello everyone! Today I turned 26 (yikes) and although times are tough and stressful things are happening to me and around me left and right, I promised myself (and someone I love) that I will not let anything or anyone take away my awesomeness.
So here, allow me to share with you a couple of songs that make (and made) me happy today. ♥
And for a wonderful, goosebump-inducing finale...
Thank you for inspiring me on a daily basis. I really thought this year's birthday would suck, but I remembered that I have received probably one of the best birthday gifts ever this year.
You guys. ♥

Jam's Smile Track of the Moment V
I love Florence Welch. Her songs are magic. Her performances are intoxicating. Lately, I have been listening a lot to her songs (on repeat, too!)
For this post, I would like to share the song Cosmic Love. Some would say this is a sad song, but it isn't for me. This is actually my and my boyfriend Jason's theme song. :) It was one of the first songs I told him I liked which he liked back during our get-to-know-and-fall-madly-in-love phase.
This particular performance, to me, is beautiful because of the harps.
...but Jason says he doesn't like it as much as the original. To him, this lacked a certain depth and feeling, whereas with the original, he got goosebumps.
My favorite lines:
"A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind"
and
"The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out"
Enjoy!

Wow girls, i am so incredibly happy
Right now, blogging from my best friend's house,
i had suuuuucchhh an amazing night.
My best friend Emily and i hosted a movie night, and it was incredible.
We only invited two people (besides ourselves) because it was a more intimate occasion.(:
My best friend got this guy she used to like to come, and i invited my other best friend (who happens to be a guy, that also happens to be the guy i'm helplessly in love with).
We watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the entire time, James and i cuddled, and we held hands.
And when we got a moment alone, he would sneak me a kiss.
It was sooooo amazing. <3
I hate that all we can do is be that way, and just be best friends.
One day, i promise girls,i will find a way to make him mine again.
He was mine, and i was lost him.
Ever since that day, i spend every moment regretting.
Maybe one day, we'll both be on the same maturity level, and
then
that one day
He'll be mine.
I love you girls.
And i am happy for each one of you who has found a missing part of your soul in someone else.
I have,
but he hasn't realized it yet.
On this note,
i leave you.
with a sigh.
<3
Regretfully,

I'm Yours, Filipino style!
Someone on my Facebook friends list posted it, and it made me incredibly happy. Number one, coz it's a video of a song by Jason Mraz (our soul mate, collectively). Number two, I am from the Philippines. Number three, this was sung by the Philippine Madrigal Singers, one of the best choirs in the country. I hope you guys like it!
My heart beats for love
In August i will be 19 years old, I have never been in love and never been kissed. I've never actually been in a relationship. (not for my lack of trying)I guess i just haven't met that special person who will take me for who i am. Sometimes i get a little down and ask myself "whats wrong with me? why haven't i found someone" HOWEVER i do believe that i will find that someone. As you all know i come from a family of divorce. My sisters have all seemed to have given up on Love, they say it only brings only saddness and pain but I know thats not true. I firmly believe in love. i love love. Love makes the world go 'round, it makes us happy, it makes us sad,it makes us FEEL. LOVE brings us together. and sure i haven't found my soulmate yet. but i have found love in so many other places. In music, in singing, in my family, in my friends and in EVERY single one of you. Knowing that love is out there keeps me going, and I will never stop trying to find my happy ending.
This is a really great and empowering song that i play for myself when im just about ready to give up it lifts me up, gives me hope and reminds me to never stop looking. I hope it does the same for you.
I've been stranded on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
heard The cries and the suffering
I walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna find you through all the noise
Ooh whoa
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
So shine your light as I reach for you
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa ooh oh oh oh yeah
And I've been told at least a thousand times
It's not worth the struggle, the hurt or the trouble
I keep running up to these front lines
No I won't surrender
I'll wait here forever
Standing here with my flag held high
Oh can't you see that it's worth the fight?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa ooh oh oh oh yeah
I'm march across this battlefield
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
I'm holding on, I stand my ground
I'm screaming out, can you hear me?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
with LOVE, Marissa<3
