What a Beautiful Mess...

This past weekend I was able to see Jason Mraz in concert. Great show. I always think that the best shows happen when the audience can see and feel how excited and how much the performer wants to be there. He never rushed off stage, came back for a healthy helping of an encore, and all around played his light-hearted, feel-good music.

Music is one of those few things that if you can really connect with the words, you can end up finding a new favorite. There are many reasons why songs might become your new favorite. Maybe it's a person or moment in which it reminds you. Regardless of how, music can change you. Your mood. Your perception. Your perspective.

Let me cut to my point here. Snazzy Mraz has a great song off of his new album called A Beautiful Mess. He sings about a girl that is, to put it plainly, simply awesome, but flawed. The relationship is flawed, the way they interact isn't perfect and its messy. But the point is that even though this idea of perfect may not exist between them, its still amazing.

It's a beautiful mess, yes it is. It's like picking up trash in dresses.

I liked the cleverness of the words and the way it got me thinking. Maybe all of these ideas of "happiness" and perfection really don't work out. And that sometimes the best and most amazing times can be messy and hard, but totally worth it.

If nothing else and my epiphany of a moment didn't shine through to you, take a listen to the song. You might like it!
