I remember in one interview he said his parents wanted to take him to a psychiatrist as a teen such was his obsession with playing guitar. It dominated his life above food & interaction and he literally never left his room. That's passion 👍
This song really touched me cause we come from that generation where are mothers and fathers we're really trying hard and doing the best they could...now it is our turn and we will do better...nice song, just love it.
They just didn’t know what they didn’t know i guess. So we pick up the pieces and pass on better to the next. To those unfortunate enough to know, this song is just beautiful
How much of my mother has my mother left in me? How much of my love will be insane to some degree? And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? How much of my father am I destined to become? Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone? Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be? Does a broken home become another broken family? Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted, could I rise above the flood? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
i grew up with a mom who has MPD and a dad who was abusive and a brother who left his own son and this song hits home hard. cause i dont wanna be like my parents or my brother.
Not alone. It cuts. I grew up in a toxic household my mom was a religious nut but raised me well enough all things considered. My dad was abusive. They divorced. My brother i miss him but arent as close as we should be. So no it take me down a tough road but its cathartic.
"Okay camera two, get a shot of the electric solo" "No not johns wooden one, the one next to him...camera three get on that!" "Cut to camera three during an appropriate beat..annd...NOW" "...damn...Just cut back to camera two to get all of them in the shot" "OH SHIT CAMERA 4 CAMERA 4 CAMERA 4 YOU IDIOTS CUT TO CAMERA 4" *gets the last 2 seconds of transitioning solo*
One of the most underappreciated songs of the last twenty years. In many ways, Mayer has encapsulated the question which post-modern Western (and adjacent) cultures are struggling, but has perceptively understood it to foremost be a personal problem.
