What's that song?


I heard this song as I was driving last night. It had an acoustic-folk-easy listening feel to it. The problem is I didn't get the song's title and the singer. He kind of sounded like Jason Mraz, but I think I hit all search engines and Jason Mraz lyrics and none of his songs quite matched the song in my head.

It's funny because I can't even make out the tune of the song, or the chorus of it. But the lyrics are quite nice. The verses speak of things this guy imagines to be with this girl: like falling in love, getting married, having kids. And I think every verse ends with a line that goes like (not the actual verbatim): you are gonna love me, but you just don't know it yet. or something like that. There's always this witty line and ends with "but you just don't know it yet."

Does this song seem familiar to anyone?

Anyhow, I caught a glimpse of ASAP last Sunday. They sang the Gary V. song I used to associate with this certain girl. The Pinoy Dream Academy people did an acoustic number.

All the other finalists were playing instruments except Ronnie and Irish, so in a way they seemed inferior as music artists. But then after the second chorus, Irish started playing the violin. Sure she's not a Vanessa Mae, but she played decent violin. Now Irish is not the best singer among the finalists. She sounds OK, but nothing really special. But the violining just further enhanced her stamp as the sultry/sophisticated/classy PDA scholar.

And I never really considered her pretty, even as she was often described as "the pretty one" But the shots they took of her while playing the violin were really flattering. I actually thought she looked hot (although this youtube video has poor resolution). I wouldn't be surprised if she started posing with her fiddle in Men's Magazines.
