I first heard this tune on my local radio station, and was immediately enamored by the composition which sounds like it was destined for a breezy, but brooding summer.

Due to tendencies towards empty lyrics and synthetic noise, I have an ingrained dislike of most pop music, but one listen to this import single clearly demonstrates Mraz has emotion most MTV divas and studs can only dream about. There is a clear difference between coached and genuine sentiment, and the most expensive training in the world will never successfully replicate the latter feat.

Truthfully, the release sounds almost beatleseque in portions, bordering on the 1960's psychedelic pop-rock which is an annomally in today's binary musical charts.

great single and great live tracks. as mentioned below, the slower acoustic version is sung by Jason as well, he just sings it in a different key and he can make his voice go pretty damn high as well, he has incredible range and perfect control over his voice.

this single is nice, but his studio album "Waiting For My Rocket To Come" is amazing and he has a new live album out that can be bought either at his shows, ...

check it out, he's amazing live.

The US version of the CD Single was released prior to "Waiting For My Rocket To Come." It came in a cardboard picture sleeve & had 3 tracks:

1. The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
2. You And I Both
3. Common Pleasure (Live)

Fun Music with a lively beat. Music for all the ages. I really like Jason Mraz.

There are just so many songs that are within Corpoarte Pop and Rock these days. Still, it is just so nice to see a good-feeling kind of song out there. With Jason Mraz, a boy from the south, he scored a groove that reaches out to all boundaries. That can definitely be explained with his debut song, The Remedy (I Won't Worry). It is just a good song that makes you want to just not worry so much about worrying about life and everything in between. Which is nice, because there are not that many of those songs out there right now. It is a remarkable song that makes you just want to get up and dance. Keep it up Jason, you're well on your way in this industry.

This song, as everyone has heard has been on the radio over and over, right? Usually that bothers me and will deter my listening to the song - not this song! The more I hear it, the more I love it. If you like Dave Matthews and John Mayer, I think you'll really like this.
And regarding the review posted before mine - there ARE two versions. I don't know who sings the other, but it is an acoustic version. I heard it on the radio once and am dying to know where to find it!! If anyone knows, please share.

For a CD Single, this CD had a good selection of songs on it. It had the "remedy" both studio version and live, as well as two other live songs. Normally I would reccomend that you just get the cd that the single is from, but this cd does have some good stuff to make it worth buying.

Jason's sound, words and soul fly at you from this album.
I can't stop listening to it.
And singing along.
Thank you Jason - for being fresh and different.

This single was a very enjoyable song I saw it last year on VH1

Jason Mraz is a relatively new voice in the pop industry. Given that I had not even heard his hit single "Remedy" until a little over a month ago, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I did not know who this artist was and easily confused him with another performer. I'm not certain what the song is really about, but then again, I haven't put a lot of thought into it. As far as I'm concerned, it is just a really fun, catchy song that can make you feel an extra spring in your step when you hear it come on the radio.

The success of "Remedy", and the source of its ability to be confused with another artist, comes from its mixing a sweeping chorus with a spoken word style of verse that, in both lyrical style and vocal sound, reminds me of the work produced by Jamiroquai. Jason Mraz has talent and the appropriate degree of wry humor (which you'll see from watching the video for "Remedy") to make a career beyond just being a one-hit wonder. It will be interesting to see how he develops.
