Jason Mraz is back with a music video for the tender song "Love Someone," the lead-off single from the 37-year-old San Diego singer-songwriter's newly released fifth studio album, "Yes!" The 14-song release promised a purely acoustic and more intimate sound. The New Age-minded musician does believe that saying "yes" to other things can open an internal door to creativity, and he tries to say "yes" about things in his own life.
"Love Someone" isn't about a specific personal relationship; instead, the love in question is a more general feeling of being lucky, especially as relates to music. "When I let go in a song I feel like the mental chatter, anything that might show up as doubt or fear, that tends to fall away," Mraz says. "You just lock into one beautiful thing, which I feel is love, and when I sing to someone or with someone I feel that's giving the love away. You get it back in return with how amazing you feel." Mraz sure knows how to make love melodic.
He teamed up with the all-female eclectic rock-folk group, Raining Jane, for "Love Someone," and Mraz wrote it with the lady quartet while walking down a dirt road in Virginia with a small herd of goats. "We all grabbed an instrument and we're walking down the road just making things up," Mraz told Radio.com. "That's really what songwriting is. It's taking risks and making things up and seeing what sticks. It was an observation of how wonderful love is," he added. "When you give it away it comes back to you immediately. It really is what gives us life."
The clip truly captures what it means to fall head over heels for a life partner and the progression of a relationship from its early, carefree stages to the days when having that special person by your side. Zoom in on house at night, Mraz quietly strums on his guitar and backed by his flawless band of lady angels in all white while scenes of couples at varying ages flash on screen. The story follows a couple throughout their relationship and the great lengths it takes to maintain a special bond. Feel the joy, laughter, and tears - mixed with a whole lot of heart in the sweet video.
