Just Me Explaining Why I Love John Mayer's Songs So Much

Like many others, I grew up listening to John Mayer. His songs on his older albums bring back so much nostalgia. My personal favorite album is his "Continuum" which holds many of the classics. Memories of driving in the backseat of my mom's car while "Daughters" played and listening to his acoustic songs over and over again all bring back good childhood memories. His voice was always so soothing and gentle. (Still is!!!)

1. "Waiting on the World to Change"

I love this song so much because it has a really powerful meaning behind it. The song is very slow. I love how he repeats words like "waiting" and "standing" to portray how nothing is happening and it's up to change the world. "One day our generation is gonna rule the population." Preach it, John!

2. "Daughters"

This SONG. This one is one of my first memories of John Mayer and one of the first songs of his that I ever listened to. It is such a sweet song and it never gets old no matter how many times I listen to it. “Fathers be good to your daughters and daughters will live like you do. Girls become lovers who turn into mothers so mothers be good to your daughters, too.” Oh, my. Tears are flowing.

3. "Dreaming With a Broken Heart"

Am I the only one who cries most times they hear this song? Yes? You're lying to yourself. This song has painful lyrics but they are so good. "When you're dreaming with a broken heart, waking up is the hardest part." OKAY JOHN. Why did you have to play my heart like that?

4. "The Heart of Life"

Yet another good one? Don't mind if I do! This song is slightly upbeat and really just makes me happy. "Pain throws your heart to the ground, love turns the whole thing around." YES.

5. "Your Body is a Wonderland"

Found on yet another one of my favorite albums, Room for Squares, this is one of his most popular songs and one of his best. An absolute classic, if you will.

6. "In the Blood"

On his recently released album, The Search for Everything the first time I heard this song I listened to it probably about 200 times. It's really good, trust me.

I love this man and his music to no end. These are just a few of my favorite songs by him and I can't wait to hear more when they come out down the road!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
