Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Well, Olivia is taken
But a look like hers can be found from time to time
Yeah, Olivia is taken
But a look like hers can be found from time to time
[Chorus]
I'm thinking something like Olivia is
What I need to find
[Verse 2]
There's only one man in this world
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
There's only one man in this world
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
[Chorus]
I'm thinking something like Olivia
Could keep me through the night
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now I'm not trying to steal
No love away from no one man
Now I'm not trying to steal
No love away from no one man
But if Olivia herself were at my door
I'd have to say, I'd let her in
[Bridge]
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
[Chorus]
I keep thinking something like Olivia
Is what I need to find
[Bridge]
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
Something like Olivia
I keep thinking something like Olivia

Alright, guitarists, it's only a 12 bar blues in G. But this does not allow us to overlook the technical complexity that this 3 minute long track carries. It is extremely hard to play it like he does, muting the strings with the left hand and letting the right hand pick freely and even harder to sing along without losing the tempo. This guy's got A LOT of groove in his playing, and this is something that lacks in most blues players nowadays. Give him some credit.

Fun fact : John revealed during the live event he did in MT in august 2022 that the clock time on the B&R artwork actually has a meaning. The pocketwatch on the artwork is set at 10:38 am. If you take the average lifespan of a human being and turn it into a twenty four hours clock, Mayer was at 10:38 of his life when he released this album. Now he's at about noon. He said, as soon as you start thinking of your life as a 24h clock, you realize you got to enjoy every day because it moves so fast, you find energy to live and make the best out of the time you got left. May it be another inspiration to everyone listening to this amazing track and album.

Born and Raised was actually the first album of John's that I ever listened to. It brought me into his music. Then I went on to Continuum and I just got hooked with no signs of return. After about 3 years of listening to all of his stuff, I still think Born and Raised is one of his best pieces of work... Now Paradise Valley, that one I could say was sort of an experiment..More like "let's quickly write and record some simple songs in order to warm up for the next feature album"

If anybody is curious, he's playing his first signature Martin, the OM-28JM Limited Edition. I read that there's only 404 of these bad boys out there. He's on record saying that this is "the one." Pretty identifiable with the big scratch beneath the pick guard and the triangle inlays. Pretty much as good as it gets right there.

John Mayer's music is what the best form of entertainment is. You listen to it and it has a great groove to it, you listen to it again and the lyrics are great, you listen to it to a third time and you appreciate the technique on the guitar. Come back to it a month later and its another experience, really good shit

However much I like Mayer I gotta agree with these guys that there are some other amazing acoustic players that would kick John's ass (maybe not so many in combination with singing) but the master of all master on the acoustic is by a million miles Tommy Emmanuel. John Butler as one guy mentioned is way overrated imo. He has one song that is famous and that is overdone as well..
