this song has been my earworm before a long time ago, but when the news of Jason Mraz getting engaged to Tristan Prettyman came out, i'm loving this song over and over again because i'm seeing it in a different, sweeter light. because of the history of their relationship.
that was the live acoustic version for when they both were starting out as performers. i also love the studio version from T.P's album Twentythree. (23 is a significant number for both Jason and Tristan)
fangirl fast fact : this song was actually written when they first met and both were too shy to talk to each other, both jual mahal lah so to speak. but they somehow managed to write a song together about how they want to get together but they're being too coy and shy about making the first move. complicatedly cute, kan?
and then they got together as a couple for a while from 2001 up to 2006 (or something) before Tristan called it off just before one of Jason's gigs in Europe on Valentine's no less. She just called him up and broke it off but he was cool about it, went on with the show. (edited 7/1/11 : ok, sorry. they both wanted to end it. just found Tristan's side of the story when i read her blog here.) anyway, they got together again this year and got engaged just before Christmas. Jason told in detail about how much thought he had put into designing the ring and proposal. i died a bit reading it. no, not because he's getting married, but because he's such a romantic.
while i'm on the subject of dying of romance, watch this one too and witness how he can't take his eyes off of her (especially towards the end). and how she stole a peck on the cheek at the end of the song. and then, a few days after this show, he proposed to her. died or what?
i dont know how i know all this stuff, but i do. i'm a fan. go away.
