Lyrical genius. Positive message. Cool guitar. Catchy melody. Just everything I've come to love about Jason. There are very few musicians who can say EVERYTHING they want to say while keeping the song relatively short. I like Jason's albums, but I absolutely love his live performances with Toca. They always have an amazing chemistry with their audience. The water cooler at work now reminds me of this song and I find myself complimenting random friends there. Incredible!!
I handed in my last university assignment for the year today and got sent multiple links to this. I F*CKIN' DID IT. No better way to celebrate than a little Mraz! :)
Hey brother, just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for reminding us who we are and where we come from. We must never forget family. Because there must not be a worse pain then watching someone's parents have there child pass away and then have there entire family forget that child's name. For his name carries his father's name. For we will never forget family no matter how much they try to have us forget. AMEN! I LOVE you brother.
he's such a awesome person, u can see how much he loves music and how much fun it is for him standing on the stage and share it with his fans. love it !
I saw Jason play on the Jimmy Kimmel show for what seems like forever ago...he wasn't famous back then..but I knew, the second he was on stage that THIS GUY was A.W.E.S.O.M.E..!! love his shit!! he fuckin did it!! :-)
it sometimes happens that i kind of "forget" jason mraz (maybe just because i listened to him too often and it's just so "normal" that all of his music is great) but then i stumble across SOMETHING LIKE THAT and it reminds me that he probably is god and no one will ever be better than he is (or at least not in that special way).
I've always been a Jason Mraz fan, from the beginning. Surprisingly, this is one of the only live videos I have seen of him. After seeing this, I can tell he is a genuinely nice guy. A W E S O- ME song :)
you're quick to be so quotable damn you got a way with words you got a magical handshake for saving the earth you are a generous man you are so awesome it hurts, jason.
@nodoubling hahaha he did actually admit to that at one of his concerts....maybe he wrote it in conjunstion...but i like this one better...much more sprity and fun!
I'm kind of mad he wants to take all f words out! That's one of my favorite parts of this song. It doesn't matter really though....he's amazing and his lyrics would not suffer either way.
yeah he has family and all that so touring plays a toll on that. I went to see Jason live last week in Brussels, the show was amazing, and the new girl, (Mona?) just wasn't the same. I think I'm as big a fan of Toca as I am of Jason though.
I know Jason didn't mean anything inappropriate by it, and he was saying it before this particular day, but seconds before the beginning of this video he refers to the song as an "acknowledgement tsunami". Ironically the show was the same day as the massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I just always was aware of that random fact and thought I'd share it.
It's really a great message that he's saying right before this video starts. He says a bunch of beautiful things about Toca and then this part leads into what you can hear here. "So acknowledgement isn't for anything that we do. It's for a way we get to be, and when we acknowledge people we get to basically extract this divine quality that's inside of them. You don't have to know them at all to acknowledge someone for being a hero. They suddenly can (be) like 'whoa, I, I'm a hero. Somebody sees me as that.' And so with this song I want to acknowledge each and every one of you - the divine qualities that are in you. We like to think of this song as an 'acknowledgement tsunami'. And I'd also like to add that this song is a bit taboo, in that it uses the f word..."
WE NEED A RE-RELEASE OF THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEPTEMBER 2022 WHO'S WATCHINGGGGGG
i hate it when people exagerate their positive comments on youtube, but THIS IS FREAKING SUPER HEAVENLY AWESOME !!!!

yup up
I always like the plot twist of the song in the end. You're A-W-E-S-OOOOO...... ME!
The song is basically being proud of yourself.
"When your beautiful mind is to your own devices, you do what you like, and you always like what you try."
I fuckin' love this man so much. He always makes my day.
One of the best live ever
True ate
0:57 "this song is a work in progress". Five years later he made that phrase a song haha
I handed in my last university assignment for the year today and got sent multiple links to this. I F*CKIN' DID IT. No better way to celebrate than a little Mraz! :)

he's such a awesome person, u can see how much he loves music and how much fun it is for him standing on the stage and share it with his fans. love it !
What makes me love this particular version is that Toca couldn't manage to swap the lyrics at all!!! He mistaked almost every chorus, haha!
Or did he do it intentionaly?
I think it went the other way a couple of times as well!
+Sorin-Adrian Predescu Maybe Jason did't want to say "fuckin" in this show but he didnt tell toca lol
I saw Jason play on the Jimmy Kimmel show for what seems like forever ago...he wasn't famous back then..but I knew, the second he was on stage that THIS GUY was A.W.E.S.O.M.E..!! love his shit!! he fuckin did it!! :-)
Now all the other singers in this world feel ashamed, thank you Mr. Mraz, it was about time!
i am SO excited to see him in December in London!!!! :-D Hoping and praying he plays this song!
GENIUS! #HEARGASM
Imagine if Jason Mraz and Lin Manuel Miranda teamed up omg.
We need you in chile..!!
He keeps getting better
seldom that i hear a song gushing with positive vibes, love it!
I'm going to break the replay button :P

They are so incredible together.

The awkward moment when Jason Mraz takes God's throne.
I can't help it. Must. Press. Replay!! This is seriously A-W-E-S-O-M-E
To the guy who disliked this, I hope you step on a piece of lego. How can you not like this? God this is amazing.
@LifesABeautifulMess I laughed my arse off and still do every time i hear it!!
5:54 WOW - it's perfect harmony !!!!
You two are fucking awesome
Inteligente, engraçado, talentoso, genial!!!!!!
He did it again. Yes this is Jason Mraz, not like "the World as I See It."
He is beyond A W E S O.......ME.
I Fuckin' Love It...reminds me of old Jason
masterpiece
@c4rL0s89 I love it!!...I almost got all the words memorized...hahahhaa
Damn. The sound guy was ON POINT!
wow, if I tried to sing that fast, it would come out as, "aliuwebuaoijs soiner nioa; nia;ldkhfnbuie" You're effin' great, man.
I fuckin' love this!
It needs the F word, like 10,000 Motherf*ckers, it just fits! Only Jason Mraz can make the F word a thing of beauty.
Jason, you're so A-W-E-S-O-M-E it hurts. XD
I love the tag at the end. a.w.e.s.o.......ME!
You are A-W-E-S-O-M-E, Jason :)
Yes he diddddd
@GilbertFan101 yeah toca is fully one half of the live acoustic mraz machine, at least performance-wise
He fuckin' did it.
@tantanlegoman16 I agree..Nylon guitars are perfect for this kind of acoustic music :).
Replay button?
2:30
I got it covered.
2024 ... I am :)
@nodoubling hahaha he did actually admit to that at one of his concerts....maybe he wrote it in conjunstion...but i like this one better...much more sprity and fun!
:D awesome!
It's the dynamo of volition part 2. haha
love mraz's song!!!!
U a fuckin awesome,jason mraz!
love love love fuckin loveee
muito bom!!!from japan
the one and only toca rivera
I'm kind of mad he wants to take all f words out! That's one of my favorite parts of this song. It doesn't matter really though....he's amazing and his lyrics would not suffer either way.
It is so funny to see them not sure about using the F word hahahaha
jm all day
Not hating on Mraz at all, but his backup singer's parts are much more intricate interval-wise. Much respect.
อ๊ากกกกกกกกก :))))
i did it!
5:54 to 6:03 SO AWESOME IT HURTS
i hope this is on his new album :)
Jason Mraz's Taylor Signature Guitar, that's how you find it
7:09 min..love his face :D
yeah he has family and all that so touring plays a toll on that. I went to see Jason live last week in Brussels, the show was amazing, and the new girl, (Mona?) just wasn't the same. I think I'm as big a fan of Toca as I am of Jason though.
hahahaha I love how Jason is clearly trying to shut Toca up hahah
ive just finished learning gypsy mc's lyrics and now i hear this for the first time... i want to jump off a balcony...
you fuckin' AWESOME!
i miss that black guy
How P-E-R-F-E-C-T this F-U-C-K-I-N-G song beeeeeeee! Hope he doesn't omit it entirely in the future.

Sounds like something Tenacious D would do, lol
