Throughout our lives we barely take to enjoy ourselves and just live in the moment. With workloads piling up we often forget to take time out of days to be thankful for what we have. Have It All by Jason Mraz is a perfect song for living in the moment. He sings about all the good possibilities of where you can end up in your life. He commemorates on the happy moments in life that he has lived and wishes the best for everyone. Have It All gives cheerful vibes to listeners as they look forward to their future. “And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows, and may the road less paved be the road that you follow.” Mraz repeats this line through out the song as he wishes everyone the best of luck. He uses a creative way of wording to offer goodwill to everyone. When he hopes, the best of your days are the worst of your tomorrows, he wishes that even the worst part of your days are great. He wants people to take risk and be bold by following the less paved road.
Oh, I want you to have it all
All you can imagine
All, no matter what your path is
If you believe it then anything can happen
This line at the end of the song demonstrates the wishing that Mraz has for the world. Even when the situation you are in could be bad there is still a hopeful future because anything in life could happen. If you put your best foot forward in life and just believe in yourself you will be happy and successful. I relate to this song because often times in college it is easy to think your life is not going as planned. I know that in every class if I work to the best of my ability I can achieve my goals and “have it all.”
Mraz uses his song to bring all types of people together. The joyful rhythm puts a smile on your face. In the music video Mraz demonstrates all the great things that people get out of life. He uses children in the music video as an example to pick them up when they are down because they have such a bright future ahead. The future is a big unknown and Have It All gives hope for people to stay strong and keep their end goal in mind.
