Song of the Week: Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

Jason Mraz is known for his witty lyrics, amazing melodies and inspiration songs. Mraz is not afraid to break the mold that pop artists are placed into. With the release of his new single, "I Won't Give Up," Mraz not only creates an unforgettable melody but the lyrics he writes create a love story that inspires. The song feels like Mraz sat down with his guitar and just let this performance create itself organically. The melody and lyrics seem effortless.

Mraz keeps the melody simple, as he does with most of his music, but the simplicity of the instruments only highlight the heartfelt, honest lyrics that Mraz presents to the audience. The lyrics tell the story of a man who will not give up on his love. Mraz writes, "Even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth, but we got a lot to learn, God knows we are worth it, No I won't give up."

These are heartfelt lyrics, a beautiful melody, and excellently performed. It's only the third day of the new year, but this might end up being my favorite song of the year. The song is simple, the emotion is true and Mraz proves that his play on words and his lyrical masterpieces are here to stay.
