Waiting For The World To Change

Rediscovering a love for someone or something is the most amazing feeling. It's like knowing, knowing that you're not alone. You connect with something in the world outside of your own body. It sounds silly, seeing as I've never met the man, but John Mayer has always been somewhat of a guilty pleasure. His music I mean. Listening to him pour his heart out in every song gives me hope that maybe, someday, I'll have the sort of passion for whatever it is I end up doing with my life. I mean he picked up a guitar for the first time when he was 13. He's 29 now. He's done so much and worked with so many people. I just admire him, you know? It's wonderful because he's like the Beatles for me. The love is always there but sometimes, in my efforts to keep up with the changing music scene, I lose track of him.

And then, WHAM!, all of a sudden I'm hit with this song in the car. The lyrics are simple but powerful. The music is... lighthearted & catchy but doesn't distract from the idea behind the words. Instead it adds to it. Kind of like the Beatles. Half the time you think they're just messing around. And they usually were. But the idea, the message was there. Always.

For example the song All You Need Is Love. Everyone thinks it's this great love song and it is. But if you listen closely you hear the boys making fun of themselves and all the people that keep looking for deeper meanings in their lyrics. Ironic considering this song has the hidden message.

So yes. Go to his website. Listen to the song. And I mean really listen because I think this song really speaks for this generation. How are we supposed to take control of the throne when our mothers and fathers are done? How do you expect us to make the world a better place when there is a pointless war, raged by warmongering men and women, behing fought miles and miles away? The rules keep changing and it's becoming harder and harder to win. So we just keep waiting for the world to change.
