It's been two years since Australian indie rocker Ben Lee released his last LP, 2009's The Rebirth of Venus, but Rolling Stone has an exclusive preview  from Lee's forthcoming Deeper Into Dream, due out October 11th. Although upbeat and catchy, "Get Used To It" addresses a much heavier topic: death.  "Once you jump in, once you jump in, I hope you really get used to it," Lee sings. And while his haunting vocals and honest lyrics evoke sadness, you can't help but feel a bit of peace in the resolution. You can download "Get Used To It" for free here. Come on, jump in.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
