- 'HOME LIFE', John Mayer.
'Heavier Things' - An album that happened to set the stage that he stands on, right now. Back then, you know.
Not the same man, no, I do know that. I'm not kidding myself otherwise, either. He said he's waiting on the world to change, I guess I'm waiting on him. A lot of things past, a lot of things said, it's said people crack under the strain anyway, but it still hurts, for I've never seen him as 'people'. Maybe I should. Maybe then, he'd prove me wrong. Either way, I'm still here. I doubt if there's the remotest possibility that he'd be reading this, but I'm still here.
I guess we're 'In Repair', now. Not together yet, but we'd be getting there. I hope.

Simply haven't heard much of John Mayer since Room for Squares and Heavier Things. Beats me why. He was a class apart then.
ReplyDeleteAnd he seems to have upset you now. Well, waiting seems the right thing to do. Great read, this.
No, it's not a lament, I'm just standing up for an alter ego in recent distress. 'Continuum' was his peak, btw. 'Battle Studies' is no lesser either. It's just that his off-field remarks affect his in-field persona, and that's damaging. That's all.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the 'Home Life' guy. It's a celebrity monstrosity that's currently taken his place. 'In repair', you know. Soon bound to clear. :)
