The Top 10 Most Underrated John Mayer Songs

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 //

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.
