i posted this as a comment to my other post. didnt realse..
but this is a quite from jason himself on the song being about his friend who had cancer...
(its nothing to do with religion or politics..)
Mraz co-wrote "The Remedy" with Avril Lavigne hitmakers the Matrix and although the song is catchier than a commercial jingle – particularly the chorus: "The remedy is the experience/ It is a dangerous liaison" – it was actually inspired by a close friend who survived bone cancer.
"It was just such a surprise, you know? Like, we grew up together, we drank the same water, everything we did was identical, so why do I have a record deal and why is he in the hospital?" Mraz recalled. "That was kind of the initial feeling, but we spoke every day and he was like, 'Dude, don't sweat it, you know? I'm just going to go into the hospital, get this done, no big deal.' And he did.
"Cancer treatment is a very positive experience," he continued. "Everybody I've met anyway, they keep the most positive attitude because it really is the power of positive thinking that heals, and that's what the song is about ... and I kind of let the idea that I learned through him and through the ordeal flow over into a healing song for all of America and all of its recent tragedies as well."
