This song took me back to my childhood, I had the strongest sense of missing those days because you know they can never be ever again. I had a such a gut wrenching cry. This song is so powerful. A work of musical genius for which I am grateful.
The lyrics are incredibly powerful. We all have the power to rewrite generational “curses” which are habits that may have been engrained in us, but we have the power to choose different, to be happy and have the love we deserved.
If you are moved by this and you’ve been feeling frustrated lately with things just know you can break these generational curses and the pain isn’t pointless.
At my age, it is sometimes easy to fall into the 'today's music is just not as good.....' syndrome. But This guy is legit. He has depth beyond his years and guitar chops that can stand next to anyone. And not the least, a great sense of melody in his songwriting. I am an (old) fan, John.
My mom listens to this song religously and this line always makes me sad because her broken home turned into another broken family she abused me just like her mother did woth her sometimes i wonder if that's why she listens to this song
Can NOT get enough of this song. Lyrics to the frequency of my heart/mind mix... I'm not sure when I first heard this but all I can do is have it on repeat every chance I get.
This song is so searching, so unsure, so questioning.. I think it truly captures what he was getting at on the "Search for Everything" album. It really is one of the best songs he's ever made! However, it begs the question of whether or not he'll eventually release an album or a song that's supposedly him arrived at his answers that he's been searching for.. Or maybe not? Maybe he doesn't WANT to find "everything", and it's the search that he truly thrives on. Who knows. Either way, John will always make amazing music.
my friend sent this song to me. it found her during a very tough time with her family. the power of music and this song specifically, i cannot iterate effectively enough. you helped her through a time she could barely cope with. keeping her and this song in my heart
My family is split...I love them all unconditionally, but it’s like I have 2 separate families. I have tried to repair as well as others, but is seems the split will continue into eternity. It truly saddens my heart beyond measure! I recently sent this song to everyone with a message about our upbringing and how that has affected us and it wasn’t received well. Looks like I’ll have 2 families forever and that saddens me, but I have to choose health and happiness to my family over the rift. All that to say this song spoke to me and I hope it can mend relationships that are ready and willing to be mended. Don’t let a “BROKEN HOME BECOME A BROKEN FAMILY “ “RISE ABOVE THE FLOOD!”
I just told my 38 year old daughter that my life flashed by me as I listened to this song. I've asked myself these questions since I was 13 years old but couldn't find the words. Thank you John Mayer for singing what I couldn't. Much Love, Tony
This is the last song my son sent me...my baby boy..he died in June..my older son died five years ago..both in their 30's...they're together forever...
Oh Carol. I feel your pain in your words. I lost my baby boy when he was 26. He never ever leaves my thoughts. Now I will think of you and your babies whenever I hear this song.
Mary Brown i actually heard this song by a group called home free, which is an amazing acapella group, however they just couldn't put the feeling that this song needs into it amazing performance just beautiful
OMG, I heard it on the radio too, and wrote it down on a napkin to remember. I want to learn to play this for open mic nights that I go to....love the lyrics.
Indeed! I'm only just beginning listening to music, but do you have any suggestions that are similar to this song and that have very meaningful lyrics?
My father passed in November, due to Covid -19 , we never really got along, we always argued with each other....he's gone, and in a way i kinda miss our stupid arguments ..lol i never got to him in time to see him off to the better side of life...this song really gets to me every time i hear it...i miss the ol' fella.
I Love HOME FREE and all their music. This group is so wonderful to listen to without a doubt. I would love to see one of their concerts but unfortunately they do not stop here in Nacogdoches, Texas but if they do I will do my very best to make it to see them. In the mean time I will continue to watch their videos and play their cd's. Great Job Home Free Keep the music coming. ❤️👍🏻
I never put much time into John Mayer, I'm more an old fashioned rock girl I suppose. I landed here on accident really, I'm 29 years old, lost both my parents and struggle with remaining family. I've struggled with a drinking problem in which case I'm beating it & I've been diagnosed with BorderlinePD. Family, love, & life is all a fight on my end, each and everyday. I try my best, but it's not always easy. I'm sure it's the same for most everyone with something. Anyways, I love this song, it's perfect, fit's the bill! Probably my favorite song, and will be for some time! Thanks for sharing this with the world. It's truly needed for many!
I dedicate this song To my stillborn older brother who never came To earth. He would have been 21 years old now.Although I have never met him, but he will always be my family. And I hope I will meet him in heaven when I die
It really takes a brave person to write and expose there soul like johns done with this song , my god this is my childhood , this was normal for me and it not normal . Thank the lord i met my wife , my life truly started when i met her .
What a question worth asking that I've been asking lately ❤🥹 We are the blood of those gone b4 us and the foundation for that yet born❤🙏💯🙏❤️ ❤🙏Love2All2Love🙏❤️
