He is a refreshing change from most pop music heard today. John Mayer sings about how he feels, where as other artist sing what he or she feels the people want to feel, and so, it does not sound like it is coming from the heart. John has a nice acoustic tune and sings rock music that say, in many ways, "Ill show them". The lyrics in his songs are so meaningful.
I like the lyrics to "No Such Thing" by John Mayer so much because I can relate to him so much. When Mayer sings "They have to tell you, stay inside the lines.but some things better on the other side", he is saying that people should take chances. It means that you don't always have to do the right thing and you should go out into the real world, open up to new opportunities, and face reality, or maybe that there are other things out there that can better suit a person. From my own personal experience, I have found, that, when take chances and try to have fun with things, not doing everything I am told, I experience more and get more out of things. John Mayer sings "Well I never lived the dreams of a prom king, and the drama queens I"d like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve." Basically, he is trying to send a message to people who are not, or did not have the best time in high school, that the best is yet to come. Also, everyone is different and everyone has different dreams. The line "I"d like to think the best part of me is still hiding up my sleeve" signifies that, while others may have, he still has not reached his peak, but will reach it later on in life. I like this quote because he speaks the way I feel. Even if I am not the most popular person, It does not mean that I will not succeed later on in life. High school does not go as smoothly and nicely as it does for some people, this is the way I feel. .
John Mayer inspires people who don't have it as good as some of the people around them to look at things differently.
