Dam you know you're a huge fan when you go through tons of his songs on KZbin and you see old comments from you that you don't remember.

[@LettersforU]

so true :3

[@lambournledge]

classic jason. his old material ALWAYS wins.

[@vreynosoful]

Been feeling uninspired for a long time. Then my dear sister showed me this and for 2 hours the other night, and last night ... and this morning .. well let me just say: Jason you brought me back. Thank you for being you! ps. i love the roll of the R :D

[@funkstarG]

this guy wrote way too many good songs back in the day that deserve the attention of the humungous audience that he has now. if he digs up this song and performs it again in an upcoming concert or radio show, i will cry happy tears. thank you so much for sharing Philly!

[@melisasyla3287]

love it when he says "keep your eyes open" with his eyes closed :)

[@ruben21]

one of the best song known to all of mankind.

[@headforopenwaters]

It sure is!

[@MouthingWords]

Fuck "I'm Yours." This is MUSIC. This is what Mraz is about, not the shit the music industry manufactures to be popular. Thank God he is so down-to-earth that he still plays this stuff, even after he became popular. He really is a dying breed of musician.

[@neoism]

after being a fan of mraz for years for his CDs... He is truthfully amazing live.... Probably the best I've ever seen! :O This song is amazing

[@crystale801]

C'est formidable de pouvoir regarder cette vidéo car j'adore cette chanson en autre de Jason.Encore aujourd'hui il a gardé la meme fraicheur dans ses interprétations.Un très grand MERCI à vous pour le partage.

[@UnencumberedWords]

"Something like that." He used to say this back then! Love him here, love him now. I guess I'll spend the rest of the night watching your videos, thanks Philly!!!!!

[@Cloud98]

Good musicians will never die out, you just got to look for them. There's just a growing amount of bad ones is all.

[@myd3cember01]

almost a decade of listening to this artist...iloveit

[@pod_insights]

Thank you so much shewhodaydreams. been a fan since 2002 and these old clippings of Jason really are precious. Java Joe's days are the BEST! thank you, thank you. i think i love you already. hihi. seriously, thanks. :)

[@honeybunmraz]

Philly, when I was in my freshman year of high school, this song was the shizz

[@schraut5]

Wow. Simply, wow. Great song and great performance. Thanks for posting!

[@pb15424]

I remember this night. The white shirt was from a wedding J and Toca had done that day!! :) Rented smartness!

[@Beanloser622]

Oh my! Thank you Philly for posting this!!!! This is one of my all time favorites.

[@gracefullyunnamed]

This is my favorite song! Thank you for posting this!

[@juggleboy720]

I know I've already said these are great, but it bears repeating. Thanks again Philly!

[@xTheKill3rsRulex]

once u see him live, you'll never go back to just listening to him on ure ipod.. HES THE AWESOMEST!

[@thexstupidxthings]

THANK YOU FOR THIS PHILLY!

[@SharkReefMINI]

FABULOUS!!! Thanks Philly!!!

[@Noellenc]

How did I never hear this one? Conversation With Myself, After an Afternoon, Better, Sleeping to Dream, etc etc. I've never heard this before! Ugh! I've missed out!

[@headforopenwaters]

@RandomT00ns exactly what i was thinking! Im 16 but if I could wish for anything right now it is to be able to go back to this Jason concert! Im very very sad that I wasnt able to be there then!

[@BestAtNothing]

So true. His older works don't get nearly enough attention.

[@DavidGeller-ss9kq]

I agree Sarah. And for the record MouthingWords, I'm Yours is his old music. He wrote it in 2004 I believe and it helped get him to where he is today and has also done what no other song has done, in history.

[@oborojin]

This has inspired me to cover this song on a recording I'm doing today, my absolute favorite Mraz song! :D He's so good.

[@callinhero]

Been wanting to know the name of this song for ages, thanks for the upload ^^

[@Hellenpastor]

There's nothing I love more than watching him before he back give

[@rondc7175]

I wish I could see him perform this song live, just him with his guitar and Toca

[@shewhodaydreams]

@funkstarG this was always one of my favourites... and still is. :)

[@wearewarriors333]

its crazy that there are so few views. people don't know what they are missing

[@maryp7]

It's kind of cute that he sings about keeping your eyes open - with his eyes scrunched shut!

[@haisan16]

I love this song and I also consider I'm Yours as his masterpiece. I'm Yours is soooo different from other commercial songs out there!

[@MrBEILLA]

Best song i like and i feeling with it went listen

[@NaNora99]

wanting studio version 😆😍😶

[@arie09876]

awesome

[@kanuzu09]

if Life only have's a Theme Song, This will be My Theme Song!

[@RandomT00ns]

I really wish I had a time machine.

[@juggleboy720]

@DinoBiteinWhite I'm pretty sure it only ever showed up on the Selections for Friends live album. It never got a studio release to my knowledge. Great tune though.

[@shinanigan09]

Welcome to schubas medley is so good

[@funkstarG]

@funkstarG oh wait, i've just come across a 2006 clip! AAAAAHHHH *happy tears*

[@Extra.Officiall]

I agree

[@jrjubach]

Wow so young. Is that a tuxedo shirt?

[@keshymckesh]

It's not on my version of selection for friends! Well, it is, but only as part of the opening track, 'EP' :'-( Is there any version of it on its own? This is my all time favourite mraz song!

[@WandaBand]

@MouthingWords It's crazy how his most simple song gets all the recognition. He's not a one hit wonder!

[@waldo2241]

Trying to figure out the guitar part and I got everything except the sliding part in the A chord... Anyone know what the hell he's doing? Too blurry to really see. Between this and the tab that's out there I'm close but it'd be nice to nail it down. Is it open a string with 6/7 to 9/11 to 6/7 to 4/6 to 6/7 to 2/2 on the d and g strings?

[@pb15424]

@pb15424 We definitely grabbed some great performances.

[@DinoBiteinWhite]

Really? I had it a while ago... i havn't noticed it... hmm.. why don't I HAVE IT?! ( I dled off from a website)

[@DinoBiteinWhite]

he wrote it? i have never heard this song before...

[@ohnoyoufail]

@lambournledge I will admit his new cd is really good... but as you said, it just doesn't come close to this kind of stuff

[@admiraleyebrows5087]

3.7.17

[@musicsmc]

I'm sure Jason Mraz would be offended at this comment. It seems to me that you think he is "about" what you want him to be "about".

[@ohnoyoufail]

the only problem with most of his following is that they are probably only interested in the "im yours" or other songs like that. don't get me wrong though, it;s a great song but my girlfriend loves jason mraz and she still wont listen to stuff like this for some reason. :(

[@wearewarriors333]

gah, wish i could see his fingers.

[@MouthingWords]

@Mr420ham I'm Yours isn't a good song. It's better than most but it still an unoriginal chord progression with some marketably confusing lyrics and a relatable uke part, nothing more. Mraz is a genius but that's designed to be popular, not good.
