wow.

I'd never been to an actual music concert before. I must say, it was AWESOME. Jason Mraz's voice is insanely incredible. I loved everything he played, but was especially impressed by "Curbside Prophet", "You and I Both", and of course "The Remedy." Plus, at one point he broke into this glorious opera singing - it was unlike anything I've ever heard before. Amazing. I think I'm in love. :)

So the concert made my otherwise droll birthday into a memorable evening. I mean, who wants to have two exam-thingies and a wicked cold on your birthday? Better than finals, I guess.

WWU tomorrow, and will return to UW on Saturday. I hope I have everybody's contact info.

why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side
rainbows are visions but only illusions
and rainbows have nothing to hide
so we've been told (and some choose to believe)
I know they're wrong (wait and see)
someday we'll find it - the Rainbow Connection
the lovers, the dreamers, and me

who said that every wish would be heard and answered
we wish on the morning star
somebody thought of that and someone believed it
look what it's done so far
what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
and what do we think we might see?
someday we'll find it - the Rainbow Connection
the lovers, the dreamers, and me

all of us under its spell
we know that it's probably magic

have you been half-asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors?
the voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
it's something that I'm s'posed to be
someday we'll find it - the Rainbow Connection
the lovers, the dreamers, and me

Jason Mraz totally covered this song tonight - it was beautiful... *sigh*
