John Mayer- In Your Atmosphere
I wanted to share one of my favorite songs with you guys called "In Your Atmosphere" by John Mayer. John Mayer is by far my favorite artist and has completely influenced my guitar playing and how I look at music. In my opinion, he is a lyrical genius and I feel as though I can completely relate to all of his songs. They are so emotional and most of them are about romance and the deeper things in life, which are two of my favorite subjects, especially when it comes to music. My favorite part of this song is the chorus which goes "I'm gonna steer clear, I'd burn up in your atmosphere, I'm gonna steer clear, cuz I'd die if I saw you, I'd die if I didn't see you there." The last part of the chorus is one of the most emotional lines I've ever heard in a song. He is saying that if he were to see the girl he loves who no longer loves him anymore, it would kill him to see her doing just fine and going on through life without him, but even if he didn't see her, it would still kill him because he misses her so much. There is nothing worse than that feeling when it comes to a relationship. Here's a link to John performing the song live in Los Angeles back in 2007. Enjoy!

You definitely picked an astounding role model. I think my favorite song he's played is his cover of Gravity at the 2007 GRAMMYs. He has the same emotional intensity and it's bluesy!

I too love John Mayer. His music is wrought with emotion but I also love how he is able to reinvent himself in each album. Battle Studies is so different from Continuum which is different from Heavier Things. He is constantly evolving as an artist and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that he relies so heavily on emotions for inspiration. I think I first fell in love with his music when I saw this video of him playing with BB King in 2006. So talented.
