The intricate minded, incredible John Mayer is known around the globe for successfully capturing the hearts of music fanatics, beginning from his very first album Room of Squares in 2002, all the way to his most current album The Search for Everything, released in 2017.
As he is both humorous and intelligent, John Mayer's way with words will always be his most unique attribute, as well as his capability to transfer emotions into lyrics, creatively said in order to pass his message across.
On a personal note, I have always deeply respected the motivation behind John Mayer's writing, how he writes to express himself and for his own entertainment, rather than to gain and please fans. His incomparable genuine passion for freedom derives his authenticity, which just might be the key to his infinite success.
With this being said, I have pulled together a list of, in my opinion, the top John Mayer lyrics that cause one to think, reflect, and relate to one's life:
"Who says I can't be free from all of the things that I used to be
Rewrite my history
Who Says I can't be free" (Who Says)
"Did you know that you could be wrong
And swear you're right
Some people have been known to do it
All their lives" (Shadow Days)
"It's just a wave and I know
That when it comes
I just hold on
Until it's gone" (Emoji of a Wave)
"Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free" (Perfectly Lonely)
"Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you than
Half of my heart"(Half of My Heart)
"Cause I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life"(Why Georgia)
"I'd like to think the best of me
Still hiding up my sleeve" (No Such Thing)
"It's taken me so long just to say so long
Maybe it's all wrong, but I'm moving on." (Moving On and Getting Over)
And to end; a personal favorite of mine:
"It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again." (Say)
