Details in The Fabric by Jason Mraz

Share

This is one of the songs from Jason Mraz newest album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Well, I don’t think I need to introduce for this album anymore after the huge sensation over I’m Yours and Lucky. Almost everyone know how to sing these two song and it is one of the must sing song in karaoke.

 

 

 

The thing is, for most of the people that who do not owned the whole album definitely have no ideas about other songs in this album. There were other songs in the album that is worth listening to. One of the song is Details in The Fabric. This is a great song collaborate between two great musician Jason Mraz and James Morrison. ‘Details in The Fabric’ also known as ‘Sewing Machine’. I have no idea why there were two name for a single song.

 

Personally, I think this is a song about moving on after a break up. Well, just read the lyric below first and I will tell you why.

 

Calm down Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed

Instead Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up

 

This part I think is kind of obvious. The persona just experience a break up and the song sings that to calm down and pull yourself up together rather than panic or feeling helpless and hopeless and pulling your hair while having a emotional break down (crying).

 

If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

 

If, it is a faulty machine you can fix it or replace it. If, is a broken arm you can wrap it, heal it. But if is a broken heart, you just have to face it, accept it.

 

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

Hold your own

Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine

 

Always remember to not lost yourself while in a relationship. Remember not to put others before yourself. Pull yourself together and live the life even though it seems like a bumpy road. And you shall be fine. Everything will be fine eventually.

Mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

 

Obviously, it meant a friend or someone who cared about the persona is coming to stay/to chat with you. To get you through this painful break up.

 

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

 

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

 

The bed that you once shared with your loved ones. Or the future that you planned together or missing the love ones while memories of her replay in you mind. Or break down while thinking of her. Just remember all the depression or anger is not your fault as is it your heart that is hurting.

 

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

 

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

 

This is a pretty straightforward song. What amazing is how Jason Mraz and James Morrison managed to pull this song verbally and melodically is beyond words. It really have me in so many different level of emotion.

 

Enjoy :)
