Mason Jennings (born March 19, 1975 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is an Americanpop-folksinger-songwriter. He is well known for his simple yet catchy melodies, intimate lyrics, literary and historical themes, and distinctive voice. His music has appeared in the surf film Shelter and he has toured extensively.
Biography
Born in Hawaii, Jennings moved with his family to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at an early age. Jennings learned to play guitar at the age of 13, when he began writing songs. Jennings later dropped out of school and moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to pursue his musical career.
Jennings produced his self-titled debut album in 1997 on an analog four-track in the living room of a rented home, playing all instruments himself. In October 1998, joined by drummer Chris Stock (a.k.a. Chris Stocksmith) and bassist Robert Skoro, he began a weekly gig at Minneapolis' 400 Bar as the Mason Jennings Band. The two week gig ended up lasting four months. In April 1999, six months after forming, The Mason Jennings Band and Mason were voted by the 1999 "Picked to Click Poll" conducted by Minneapolis newspaper, City Pages. Mason began touring nationally and expanded the depth of his sound by inviting saxophonist Chris Thomson to play with them occasionally and replacing Stock with Brazilian jazz drummer Edgar Olivera.

Only Lovers Welcome Lyrics:
Underneath the starry sky
No one else just you and I
Only Lovers Welcome
Only Lovers Welcome
Saying words like I need you
And darling let’s always be true
Only Lovers Welcome
Only Lovers Welcome
Only people who
Are willing to do their part
In this struggle against the dark
Only Lovers Welcome
Only Lovers Welcome
I am done with
Players who waste my time
And haters that bait my mind
Only Lovers Welcome
Things get harder every day
No matter what the pictures say
Things get harder every day
It don’t matter what the pictures say
Only Lovers Welcome

Mason Jennings - Which Way Your Heart Will Go
Lyrics
Little airplane in the sky
You point up at it
I watch your face as you watchi it go by
I watch your face as you watch it go by
Everything is perfect
Where would i be right now
If all my dreams had come true
Deep down i know somehow
Id have never seen your face
This world would be a different place
Darling theres no way to know
Which way your heart will go
Summer sun on a sandy slide
Silve swingset shining
How can life feel so alive
And still feel like dying
Where would i be right now
If all my dreams had come true
Deep down i know somehow
Id have never seen your face
This world would be a different place
Darling theres no way to know
Which way your heart will go
A stack of books beside our bed
Living out of boxes
Why does the empty space fill with dread
Why does change still sho...

Mason jennings - Ulysses
I went in to twelve bookstores looking for ulysses
Motherwell led me to believe all my questions would be answered
Now i have it here sitting on the table
Another word for the universe
Loose green tea and a bonsai tree, an underground apartment
Check my e-mail and wash my clothes while my rice is cooking
Oh jesus christ, how i hate making phonecalls
So i lead a lonely life
A waterfall from a higher place told me all about you
The funeral of the man i was told me not to doubt you
Oh what we could do with your dress up round your shoulders
We could leave all our fear behind
I went in to the liquor store looking for a bottle
Of my favorite bombay gin, the answer to my problems
But to my delight the bottles were all taken
Ah yeah, another hero's night

This world would be a different place
Darling theres no way to know
Which way your heart will go
A stack of books beside our bed
Living out of boxes
Why does the empty space fill with dread
Why does change still shock us
Where would we be right now
If all our dreams had come true
Deep down i know somehow
Id have never seen your face
This world would be a different place
Darling theres no way to know
Which way your heart will go
Which way your heart will go

There's no street lamps on the road i take I'm not blessed with brakes I've got no place to be The things i love always get up and go Like they're late for a show Well, late they'll always be 'cause it's the little details that derail your dreams As simple as it seems The separate little things that you should have done Define your life, honey, one by one I may be living but I'll die for an end With no money to spend There'll be no treasure to find 'cause nothing I do ever seems to get done A lot of things get begun but then they slip my mind It's the little details that derail your dreams As simple as it seems The separate little things that you should have done They define your life, honey, one by one I've tried to run, but there ain't nowhere to run Tried to hide, but there ain't nowhere to hide I've looked for peace, honey, peace could not be found I've done myself wrong and put my anchor down And happiness, happiness is up in the hills You can take your dollar bills or you can leave 'em behind And emptiness, emptiness is up in my head All the books that i've read just cleaned out my mind It's the little details that derail your dreams As simple as it seems The separate little things that you should have done They define your life, honey, one by one I've tried to run, but there ain't nowhere to run Tried to hide, but there ain't nowhere to hide I've looked for peace, honey, peace could not be found I've done myself wrong and put my anchor down Well the truth is this: i don't care if i belong
