It's been a while...
I felt the need to gush and this seemed like the best place.
I have to say that after 7 years, has it been 7 years? Wow. So, after 7 years, John Mayer is still who I thought he was the first time I heard him. He's changed. Haven't we all? He may be dating a famous 'friend' but watching Where The Light Is I am in love all over again. It comes down to what happens on that stage. It comes down to what happens when I hear one little note and I'm flooded with memories of past shows and feelings I had years ago are brought right back. Some of the happiest times in my life have been at those shows. Some of them have been in my car just singing along. Like the simplest form or happy. That's the best kind.
The friends I have made because of this music. It's amazing. Friends that I may not even talk to until there is "John news" but I know they're my friends! Because we know what it's like to hear a few notes and have it all come back.
Plus, the fact that John Mayer is older than me, only a year or so, but still. That just makes me happy. The fact that he's 30 makes turning 30 not naerly as scary. I'm embracing it.
Basically, I still love this music. I still love everything he does. I still believe him when he says he's vulnerable. I still think he's going to be around when I'm 40, 50, 60 ...scary. But he'll be 61! ha! And I will be at those shows. And I will be able to feel exactly how I do now. Exactly how I did 7 years ago.
It's a lil lame. But I love the guy. I love him for what his music has given me. What it means to me. For all the amazing friends I only know because of him. For all memories, past and future. And for simply being what he was meant to be.
I'm in love all over again!
And I cannot wait to see him next weekend! And in August. Sadly, I'm not sure what number show it is. But whatever number it is. It'll be amazing. Duh.
