John Mayer's Alternative style, infused with hints of jazz and blues, is enough to get you through an entire day. Whether you're head over heels in love, in a relationships that's a little "complicated", or living the single life, there's a Mayer song to help you through it. Below is a list of my top 10 songs for each of the following moods.

In Love:

Sometimes, love sucks, and other times, love rocks. Mayer expresses his experiences with love in an extremely relatable fashion. With songs dating back to 1999, not only has he become more wise in the field of love, but he has changed his prospective a few times which are all reflected through his music here.

-New Light

-Love On The Weekend

-Wildfire

-A Face To Call Home

-Who You Love

-Come Back To Bed

-Your Body Is a Wonderland

-Back To You

-Love Song For No One

-XO

It's Complicated:

Since Mayer never married, it would be a pretty logical assumption that he has had his fill of complicated relationships. I mean, haven't we all? Expressed through these songs are feelings of confusion, doubt, and desire to convey what it truly feels like to be in a relationship that may not even be a relationship at all.

-Emoji Of a Wave

-Helpless

-Rosie

-In The Blood

-Waiting On The Day

-Love Is a Verb

-Half Of My Heart

-Friends, Lovers, or Nothing

-Edge Of Desire

-I Don't Trust Myself With Loving You

Heartbroken:

In case you need a good cry, or maybe just in the mood to relate to some serious heartbreak, Mayer truly knows how to get you in your feels. Most of these songs are about distrust and failed love but a lot of them have hints of hope in them as well. The stormy days are tough to weather but there are only rainbows after it rains.

-Never On The Day You Leave

-Still Feel Like Your Man

-Moving On And Getting Over

-You're Gonna Live Forever In Me

-All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye

-Heartbreak Warfare

-The Heart Of Life

-Slow Dancing In a Burning Room

-Dreaming With a Broken Heart

-Im Gonna Find Another You

Just Chillin':

You don't have to be searching for love. There is no reason to beat yourself up over a heartbreak. Sometimes what's best is to just take a break and chill for a bit. If you need to work on you for a bit, I get it, Mayer gets it, and everyone else gets it too. There's nothing wrong with free falling for as long as you want.

-Changing

-Roll It On Home

-Call Me The Breeze

-On The Way Home

-Free Fallin'

-Shadow Days

-Something Like Olivia

-Perfectly Lonely

-Who Says

-Neon

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
