@nicklovescode Hmmm... vaguely feeling like @jason_mraz has such a song but I'm not sure. Many songs from "Love Is A Four Letter Word" album evoke similar energy, but either not quite ex-y or still tryna get back... "In Your Hands", "Be Honest", "I Won't Give Up", "Hidden track"
@nicklovescode @jason_mraz Oh also a bonus track from that album: I Never Knew You "I would love the chance to love you like I never knew you" Singing about the pain that has arisen in the relationship that's made it hard for him to see how much he loves this person. youtube.com/watch?v=dv8Ql5…
@nicklovescode @jason_mraz "And it's okay if you had to go away... just remember the telephone they work both ways But if I never hear them ring if nothing else I'll think the bells inside have finally found you someone else and that's okay 'cause I'll remember everything you sang" youtube.com/watch?v=XnrQeG…
@nicklovescode @jason_mraz More Mraz, grieving. It doesn't directly address the ex; honestly could actually be about like a company or some other relationship or "we", though that's clearly not the easiest interpretation. youtube.com/watch?v=vApON5…
@nicklovescode @jason_mraz Oh huh, looks like that's a Boyz II Men cover! They've got some beautiful songs; might have some others that fall into the category you're looking for. youtube.com/watch?v=oK9gLk…
@nicklovescode @jason_mraz Watching the Boyz II Men pour one out, I guess also this song could be about a loved one dying, not about a breakup. Pretty beautifully ambiguous song, in that way.
@nicklovescode @jason_mraz Here's another Mraz song, which is pretty weird in many ways, sort of like "please don't tell my ex I don't miss her because she'd be mad if she knew" which is... kind of wishing her well? but also full of snark. lol. youtube.com/watch?v=BKz2HU…
