(John Mayer – Edge of Desire)
It took years of being absolutely in love with this song before I realized this perfectly captures the feeling of yearning. Honestly when I first discovered that, it terrified me to death….I could finally put a word to the feeling I’ve felt over the years when I was late night listening this song on repeat.
It will always make me feel as if I’m not alone when I’m feeling absolutely lonely. Knowing that Mayer captured the feeling perfectly…makes me feel better. It’s just written beautifully and delivers the message with poise. The bridge alone is worth a mention.
I remember buying this album the first day it came out and immediately going on a road trip…loving this track the most. Although I listened to the message, but didn’t fully understand it til years later…it hooked me. Possibly foreshadowing the tumultuous times that were awaited me ahead.
I started writing and playing music in large part because of John Mayer…from the lyrical proficiency and the melodies that never left my head. He will always be the reason I embraced my ability to express anything that happens in my life into musical/poetry language.
