Live High – Jason Mraz Cover

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

It’s easy to create beats, play with someone’s voice and make them seem talented. This is the reason we started off by creating raw music videos. Uncut, unedited, pure.

For Msizi’s video, we filmed at Durban, South Africa’s sunny beach front. The turbulent waves and beautiful clear sky enhance the message of Jason Mraz’s Live High.

Lyrics as sung in the video

“Live High” Jason Mraz

I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

Taking it easy

Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he’s not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it’s laughter that we’re making after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude
Practicing their loving for you

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

Taking it easy
Live high

If I didn’t know you better – original

Monday, May 31st, 2010

It’s easy to create beats, play with someone’s voice and make them seem talented. This is the reason we started off by creating raw music videos. Uncut, unedited, pure.

Love is apparently a battlefield, if Jordan Sparks is to be believed, and loving from a distance isn’t any easier. The original If I didn’t know you better shares the pain of loving without being loved in return, of never really having the real relationship that can move beyond the first steps. It’s the song that ends it all, and the pain in realising it’s gone forever.

Original Lyrics

Girl if I didn’t know you better

I’d think that I’m you’re only one

Ooo ooo ooo

But I’ve seen you with so many guys

And when I look into your eyes

I see a girl, not ready to be by my side, not ready to be my bride

or even my girl friend

You’re so self centred and full of it

I don’t think I can handle this

It’s over…

It’s over…

It’s over, again.

I saw you with those other guys today

And though it hurt me I still had to stay

We’re supposedly friends

But that’s where it ends

How can I go on like this

It’s over…

It’s over…

It’s over, again

It’s over…

It’s over…

It’s over, again
