I love songs. Great songs. I'll take a great song over a cool solo, a killer groove, etc... Check this great SONG out! Highly crafted. Sit with it. Put the phone down. Let her tell you the story. It's worth the wait. The title. The narrative. The perspective. Lyrics x melody x performance = B O O M.

Maybe it's the jetlag talking but when I hear Jeff Buckley after some time away from his music, my chest feels like it's going to cave in.

26 — Paramore

John Mayer

Paramore. 26. Does anybody realize how important that song is??? That song finds your pain and cradles it. "Hold onto hope if you got it."

Golden Hour — Kacey Musgraves

John Mayer
Musician
One of my favorite artists in the galaxy @spaceykacey released an album today, and it happens to be her best yet. Every time she sings I get a lump in my throat. Her voice goes straight to your core. Boop. Three seconds in. “Is this what hurts?” Found it! There’s a universal sadness that exists in all things. Not an anguished sadness, but kind of a joyful one. Kacey is so deeply connected to that beautiful sadness, just like the other legends. ((Also there are some low key ✨slappers✨ on it.)) Give it a listen.

Tougher Than the Rest — Bruce Springsteen

John Mayer
Musician
I indulged myself by playing one of my favorite songs, “Tougher Than The Rest” by Bruce Springsteen. All in front of a super high-energy, chanting, singing crowd.

McCoy Tyner

John Mayer
Musician
I had the honor of watching McCoy Tyner perform a few years ago in New York City. As I listened to him play from the side of the stage, a thought occurred to me more fully formed than most do. It was a thesis, really: “the case for immortality.” I wished a performer of his talent could somehow reason with the forces of nature to let him live forever, on the basis of his otherworldly abilities. I’m saddened to learn of his passing. Do yourself a favor and listen to his impeccable work both as his own bandleader and with John Coltrane Quartet.
