Mystery X Misery: Mr. Curiosity

I'm looking for love this time

Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry

(Trying not to ask why)

Cause love is a mystery

Love is blinding when your timing's never right

Oh but who am I to beg for difference

Finding love in a distant instant

But I don't mind

Oh love at least I tried, well I tried...

Mr. Curiosity / Jason Mraz / Live in Sydney 2011

 

the live version I watched

(something like the one above)

was really amazing

he jokingly said that he hoped to get it right

because he didn’t rehearse and

it was performed impromptu upon request

 

when it came to the climax

the super high-pitch opera solo

(is there a more pro/technical term for it? tenor?)

I held my breath…

breathtaking.. that’s what it means 

 

frankly speaking,

been playing that song over and over again

and never have realized he actually sings that

always thought it was another girl or someone

 

it’s just too difficult

not to fall in love with the man

Oh love at least I tried, well I tried...
