What have you been up to?” And I said it in a way as if they haven’t done anything for 25 years. We were both playing at a charity event, and I went, “Oh my gosh! Counting Crows! I’m such a big fan.

In high school, probably my favorite band, like the first two albums of theirs. You know what, though, I had the same experience with Counting Crows a couple of years ago. They’re like, “What? You have other songs? No.” It would be perfect for in here.” And they just looked at me like I was speaking another language. I was flattered, you know? And I said, “Well, I have a new song out right now and it’s reggae. When I walked in, checked my ID and goes, “Oh, are you the singer?” I said, “Yeah!” Soon “I’m Yours” was playing over the speakers.

Your schedule shifts, and you’re not talking about it. “There’s this uneventful feeling that occurs,” Mraz says over the phone, “because you’ve spent a year writing recording, mixing, setting it up, promoting it. It’s a meaningful use of the album’s sales, even as Mraz admits that he now feels a void forming, a need to do and say more. Look for the Good’s streams, sales, mechanical royalties, and other profits are being redirected to Black Lives Matter and other organizations specifically advancing equality for Black lives.
