One of the first songs that helped John Mayer make a name for himself internationally and which awarded him with 2 Grammy Awards is Daughters. Did you know that it originated from his frustration around an unrequited love? Fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers , be good to your daughters too Daughters — John Mayer.
It was a response to the issues in the world at that time. Now if we had the power To bring our neighbors home from war They would have never missed a Christmas No more ribbons on their door But when you trust your television What you get is what you got Because when they own the information, oh They can bend it all they want. Is silence a sanity protective measure or is it apathy?
And his time has come. Ever since , John, whose father served in the Second World War, has been committed to raising awareness on the mental health of war veterans. In March this year, he founded the Heart and Armor Foundation , a foundation with which he helps fund scientific research for the health of war veterans, and through which he aims to raise awareness amongst civilians on their experience. He describes this intense process in what might be his most visual lyric up to this point.
Wow, wow, wow! In an interview with Rolling Stone , John explains that he got the idea for the song when he arrived at the office of his label Capitol Records, located at the foot of the hill that is home to the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. He describes LA as a magical place and California as the perfect backdrop for love:.
Serotonin is known to be the hormone for happiness and, following the romantic getaway , John is submersed in it. This song is less layered than the other tracks featured in this list and is less critically acclaimed than his more profound songs.
In The Blood is a very personal and honest song , which is why John Mayer is reluctant to discuss the track thoroughly. In an interview with the National Public Radio he explains:. How much of my love will be insane to some degree?

Releasing a mildly politically charged song was definitely a power move for John Mayer with his Continuum lead single, but the song is something of an anti-anthem -- while Mayer sings about waiting, the purposeful lack of urgency in his lyrics and vocals carries throughout the song.
Traditionally known for his velvety, smooth voice, so when he actually flexes on a couple high notes, you can't help but notice. A feel-good song through and through, the prominent drums and bouncy guitar carry the track. This song is all about the simple pleasure of spending the weekend with the one you love. What other pop song can say the same?
The whistling at the introduction practically hits you over the head with nostalgia. No one but John Mayer can make a song accusing a woman of having daddy issues sound so damn beautiful. This time, the singer-songwriter likens hardships in life and relationships to the cyclic nature of waves: They come and go, and you just have to accept them to get through it.
The strings in the background really elevate the song to a new level, and the lyric "Your heart is where my head should be, the dissonance is killing me" is quintessential Mayer.
