200 1, summer.
The sunshine in California is as lazy as ever.
At the age of 25, he was already a famous musician. The handsome sunny face is always hidden under the baseball cap. In the evening, he took Ji around cafes and bars in San Diego. He sang his own song amid the noise of the guests. He is Mr. A to Z. This is Jason Mraz.
He comes from the east and grew up in a simple town in Virginia. Although divorced from his parents, he can have two birthday parties and two Christmases every year, but he always seems to be the neglected child. He likes singing, acting and having some fun. In high school, he was laughed at by his classmates as gay, because he didn't exercise like other boys, chased girls and was so quiet in his own small world. Then 18 years old is independent and free. So he resolutely packed his bags and went north to new york to earn money by doing odd jobs. One day, while wandering in new york Central Park, he met a boy who painted faces for children. The colleague who called himself Bushwala immediately hit it off with him. His paranoid love for music, talent for performance and helplessness for life made them hit it off. The boy with unkempt hair taught him to draw faces and acrobatics. He also sells small works of art on the roadside with this new friend to earn a little money. He was surprised to find that the boy studied performing arts in the same school as him. They became roommates, playing guitar and music together. He seems to have grasped the misty dream since he was a child.
Soon, he and Bushwala began to perform on the street with their co-written songs. The income is not much, but they are happy because they are doing their favorite work.
However, life is like this. You can't do it without fame and money. Their music can't be limited to coins thrown by passers-by in the street. They decided to leave new york and the east. They chose the paradise of independent musicians-San Diego, California. There are large and small cafes and bars. If any one of them can occupy a seat on one night of the week, their road to music will be clear. After years of unremitting efforts, he finally established himself in the famous Java Joes, where he met the percussion player Toca.
2002
She is a native of San Diego, so she is called a California girl. Sunshine, vest, shorts, bikini, summer is her favorite. She loves her father, mother, brother and a sea that belongs to her. Surfing with her parents with her father's surfboard is her eternal memory. California's warm orange sunshine, salty sea water, and the laughter of bikini girl and sunshine boy filled her figure. She was a surfer in high school, fifth in the league, an amateur model in Roxy, and worked part-time in a small pizza place. She is tristan prettyman with a boy's name.
/kloc-when she was 0/5 years old, she accidentally dug out her father's old guitar in the basement, listened to her parents' collection of Ani Di Francot's old discs, and groped for it by herself.
She has always been free. How can I listen to her how to play without special guitar training? She began to write songs and recorded her caution about the boy she liked. Family and friends discovered her musical talent and let her try her hand in front of the audience in the cafe. She went without thinking, just playing at home and having fun.
Then she went to college. While studying business at the community college at home, I continued to show my face in the small cafe. Until one day, mom and dad took her aside and said that we think music makes you happy. You might as well quit school and concentrate on music. We believe you. She agreed happily. She took two vocal lessons, but because she had no concept of music theory, she couldn't go on. Never mind, recite her favorite Taylor guitar, continue to sing her own minor, hum her California, and her little life is so simple and happy.
Then she met him.
At first sight, she felt that he was different from the boys around him, wearing a baseball cap and smoking a cigarette in his mouth. He's from the east coast! Like her, he is a musician with a guitar on his back (he is more famous than her, and at that time he had already released his first studio album: Waiting for my rocket to come), writing his own songs and singing his own stories. I usually keep a diary, write prose poems, take a big polaroid and take a camera to capture small fragments of my life. He is just like her! But it is so different!
2003
She became friends with him. After listening to her performance, he encouraged her to send samples to some record companies. Never thinking that she would take the road of music, she suddenly felt a door opened.
Unfortunately, the first demo, the rough one, and her four songs, everything (the theme song of an independent film about surfing) evaporated in November, and the songs of rich people (written for a childhood friend who almost died after taking drugs) were rejected by the record company.
She had to record an EP: Love herself (only after her early concert, she sold a small amount for 10 dollars). Then he invited her to tour with her EP. This is a trip to North America! This is her first performance abroad. You know, she has hardly been out of San Diego since she was so big, and going to Las Vegas is as far away as possible! The first tour was held in all parts of North America, which was also the beginning of Jason Mraz's genius's storm in the music industry! ! She is very excited and looking forward to it.
The days of touring with him are so happy. She went to many places and met many friends, musicians and ordinary fans. She just enjoys the happiness he brings.
When they arrived in Vancouver, they wrote shyness like that, telling the earliest feelings and ambiguous love.
After the trip, they returned to San Diego.
They seem natural together.
She dragged him to the studio and recorded Shy in this way. She was excited for a long time when she recorded the song and got it. The log says this is the best duet in history, and it was played in the car for a week.
2004
They are as inseparable as any other lovers who fall in love. When he toured, she followed him and continued to give him opportunities. Singing a Shy That Way with him made many teenage fans jealous. Then, they wrote that the Christmas present I wanted was us, and they were bored to death.
When not touring, she said in her diary that they "will eat and drink, stay at home and watch movies and fart." She would drag him to Wal-Mart to buy women's products, because she thought it was fun and he would make her the best spaghetti in the world. "He sometimes goes to the show and can't see her. He wrote a plane and told her that if the plane crashed, remember that I love you.
She asked him to give up smoking. He didn't say anything and never touched a cigarette again. She asked her father to teach him to surf, and since then he can't live without the sea, San Diego and her.
Happy days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was 2005.
2005
After two years with him, she wrote 23, 23. Born on May 23rd, she released this happy debut album at the age of 23 (she signed Virgin). 1 1 Songs are like their sweet love (including that shyness).
Record that snowy winter in 23, 2004, she was alone in new york. Leaving her family and him, she was afraid of being confused, but she persisted. Miss him, she simply wrote, should be sitting alone in the hotel bed. As the last song, this song was also recorded on the 23rd.
Apart from shyness and simplicity (this story is also written for him), we don't know what she wrote for him or them. She tattooed "Twenty-three" in Chinese on her arm (she thought it was Japanese, how to write it in China and Japan) as a souvenir (it was his 23rd birthday, but it was June 23rd, and the Roman numeral 23 was tattooed on her chest), but in any case, even people who didn't know the lyrics and music could hear her happiness from Twenty-three.
The album was released and rushed to the top 30 of Billboard. She is so happy. Her starting point is not music at all! She usually writes all her songs and plays them by herself!
He also released his second album, Mr. A-Z, which made her fondle admiringly.
Then they began to tour separately for the new album. Spend more time away from each other.
Feelings turned into long-distance relationships. It has become common not to see each other for weeks. There are many quarrels. Although he wrote her the most beautiful friend, at the worst time, he was very angry at Portland airport. He told her that he never understood her and never liked her music.
February 14, 2006, Valentine's Day,
He is touring in England and she is on her way to new york. She wrote him an email and broke up with him. He accepted. On February 15, she was dressed in black and wore a black baseball cap, and sang in new york Baoli Ballroom. She said he was slow and mean, and she called this kind of love sex or something. ....
Life after breaking up is very difficult. She decided to move out of her parents' house. Although the cost is high, find your own house. He sent her a song saying that she needed a van to carry all her rubbish. . .
It seems that after a long time, they decided to be friends again. However, the shy way and all I want for Christmas is that we will never have a live version again.
2008
She will release her second album.
He introduced her to his gold medal producers Martin Trevor and Sasha Scarbeck. This team also made james blunt. She flew to England. Riding a bike from the hotel to the recording studio every day.
She said hello ... X, but it should be her third album. Because she wrote many sad songs, the kind of songs that shut herself in a small room. But she felt that she could not convey her sadness. So she rewrote most of the songs and became Hello ... X. Even so, the tone of Hello...x is much dimmer than twentythree, including the main single: A is crazy about him. "When you see me leave the baby, just let me go." This is what she said to him, let me go/
But how could she forget him?
It's been more than two years since we broke up, and she still talks about him in her diary. She said she had many boys, but he was her first real boy. She wrote a lot of little things between them, his good and his bad. She said he was her addiction.
On his guitar case, there is a sticker of hers that says "TP thinks you are hot". I was accidentally seen by an ignorant DJ on the radio and asked him who TP was. He chose to interrupt and silence.
2009
They are friends.
He quit our singing, we danced, we stole, he was on tour, he had his mermaid, and he had his makeup artist Tony Bewick.
She faded out of sight and returned to the original California seaside life. A boyfriend in Los Angeles, who said he was good a week ago, started dating his high school lab partner a month later.
65438+1October 10 Hollywood amphitheater. His tour with G Love is over. She also sang a beautiful song with G love (the song in 2004, which she wrote with Glove, he was jealous when recording, she was absent-minded, Glove was unhappy, and finally wrote a diary with him), and they also took photos with him. They laughed together.
20 10
February. She went to dinner with him.
In May, he went to Brazil. In the diary, he said that he wanted his beauty at home. She tweeted that she missed her prince in Brazil.
He came back and took her to Askapu.
She went to his house and made her next album with him in his studio surrounded by avocados.
23rd, her birthday. He bought her a masterpiece by her favorite painter at the auction.
She made their relationship public on Twitter. He is the one for her.
Then he went to Hong Kong, Africa and his hometown in the eastern United States. She hasn't seen him for three weeks. Acacia is better than meeting each other. She couldn't wait to fly to new york to meet him. Watch the opera and eat ice cream with him.
He said he revisited the baby's problems. She said she wanted children, but before that, she wanted a romantic trip to Paris without children.
Back to San Diego.
Seeing the oil spill, they flew to Louisiana together. He finally announced her relationship with him in his diary. In the video, they hugged each other on the beach, and then he kissed her.
/kloc-in June of 0/5, she said that she was transparent with him. No longer like before, to control, insecure, always together. She said she was angry with him, and he just patted her on the back and asked her what was wrong. Ask her what he can do and what she wants from him. She said that his listening was enough for her. Because, simply, she knows that he loves her.
She said that everything is arranged by fate. If you follow your heart, you will land exactly where you are supported.
Maybe she foresaw this, just like the song she wrote to him in a small hotel in new york that winter, and finally I predicted that you would get the best of me.
I sincerely wish uncle horse and Sister Ma happiness forever.
