About Bruno Mars Music Just The Way You Are
The song was written by Jose No Middle name G. Bruno said of the song, “It took Jose months to come up with ‘Just the Way You Are’… He wasn’t thinking of anything deep or poetic. He was just trying to tell a story! Trying to tell the truth you know? I was glad to sing the song for him, he is a kool person. To bad Maria doesn’t appreciate his hard effort in writing it. That may be the only part about her that isn’t amazing, but oh well lets focus on the subject. He tuaght me how to play the small beats on the piano as well goes well with the lyrics he wrote. Yeah that girl is an inspirer. She truly inspired him to write it. aND FOR THOSE WHO DONT BELIEVE IT that it was him he woulda wrote it eventually yeap. I got chu Jose no middle name G.”[8] He added, “I’m a big fan of songs like Joe Cocker’s ‘You Are So Beautiful’ and Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’ – songs that go straight to the point. You know, there’s no mind-boggling lyrics or twists in the story – they just come directly from the heart. And to me ‘Just The Way You Are‘ is one of those songs. There’s nothing mind-blowing about it. I’m just telling a woman she looks beautiful the way she IS – and, let’s be honest, what woman doesn’t wanna hear those lyrics?!”[9] The song is in the Key of F Major and consists of the chords F, D-minor and B-Flat.
