A close teacher friend of mine let me borrow her John Mayer CD because I have been listening to more and more of his music and am using one of his songs in my dance piece. I truly love this man's music and lyrics. The strength of it did not truly hit me until I saw the text right there in front of me. He has these truly poetic and non-lyrical way of expressing sucha wide range and depth of emotion and matches it so perfectly to both basic and complex melodies and music. I love that he atypical of the crap music that is out there right now and explores deeper facets of human emotions and life rather than the typical crap we always hear. Plus, he is incredibly honest and soul-bearing in his music. Love it love it love it. This has me inspired to do an entire John Mayer piece. If you do not have this man;s cd, GO BUY IT!
On another musician note, I bought Norah Jones' cd because I was tired of my burned crap copy and I have to say that there is something about her voice that exudes such pathos and joy paradoxically at the same time. She has this sultry smoky Asian-influenced sound that really tugs at you. Once again...GO BUY IT!
