It's the old Mayer tunes like this one that make me want to pick up my guitar and start writing my next song. So inspirational.

You are undeniably right, if it weren't for the few people that actually are good and caring beings. Don't forget the billions of lives, if not more over the years, that have been lost because of religious wars and persecution. Over land, power, money, etc. In my own opinion I believe we have truly gained nothing from it over the years. If we would all just come together and put our differences aside then this world would have been a better place. The root of all evil, greed of the people.

The new album has been a clear direction of musical evolution for him. Who wants to keep making music that's sounds like the stuff they made 10 years ago? That would be very boring for someone who has invested in innovation. His latest album is a lyrical masterpiece and unique from the rest of his catalog. He is a 40 year old man his sound is maturing along with his own mind.

But there is something wrong when it's not reciprocated. Especially, when there's someone else. That's my situation. Time to let go...
