John Mayer is one of my favorite artists. His albums are all so good and I catch myself falling in love with the lyrics in each of his songs. I listen to him all the time, sometimes so much that I'm sure my roommates get tired of hearing me gush about how amazing he is (Well John, Matty Healy, and Ed Sheeran of course).
Because I listen to him so frequently, I've decided to list the John Mayer songs that are incredibly underrated and my favorite part of the song in no specific order. (SPOILER: Slow Dancing In A Burning Room Is Not One :-) )
1. The Heart of Life
// Pain throws your heart to the ground,
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good //
Such a wholesome message and such a good little reminder about how good life is.
2. In Repair
// I'm in repair
I'm not together, but I'm getting there //
In other words, it's okay not to be okay.
3. I'm Gonna Find Another You
// But when my loneliness is through
I'm gonna find another you //
In basic terms, you won't be too hard to replace. #boybye
4. Stop This Train
// So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun //
I think everyone can relate to this. Being scared of growing up is something that I think everyone deals with at one point in their life.
5. Vultures
// Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do i stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under? //
6. In Your Atmosphere- Live at the Nokia Theatre
// I'm gonna steer clear
I'd burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
'Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there //
7. Edge of Desire
// I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me //
Loving someone so much or even just being so infatuated with someone that you'll lose yourself to gain them.
8. A Face To Call Home
// You know my paper heart
The one I fill with pencil marks
I think I might have gone and inked you in //
His reference to the pencil marks that you can erase and then the ink that you can't erase, as if you'll always be on his heart. :'-)
9. Paper Doll
// You're like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they're runnin' from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll //
Fun Fact: This song may or may not have been written about Taylor Swift.
10. Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
// Walking home with no one left
Speak softly underneath my breath
Hey world, you ain't seen nothing yet
Great, now it's raining //
