Jason Mraz’ latest album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. was generally too much pop for my taste, but I loved the iTunes bonus disc containing acoustic versions of many of the songs. Live High is one of my favorites off the album. It has a nice happy groove and contains typical songwriting by Jason, seeing the world as a wonderful place.

I believe the song also portrays Jason’s relationship with religion well, not letting it restrict you but helping you live life to the fullest. This is – of course – just my interpretation. When people first see the name of the song, they probably think it’s about weed. After hearing it, they might say it’s about God. It’s probably about both, but more than that, to me it’s about observing the beauty of life while not taking yourself too seriously.

People who are into Mraz have probably seen this video already, but why not watch it once more? Jason gives such a nice example how to “live high” by walking on the street in France and performing the song.
