Favorite lines from John Mayer's latest CD

Putting the last 16 months aside, there have been a number of amazing things happening to me over the last 4-6 weeks.

I truly believe Mom and Uncle Bill have sprinkled angel dust down on me to help get me back on track. Lord knows, I have been unable to do it by myself! It can only be Divine Intervention.

Music happens to be a strong and guiding force in my life. I'm not quite sure what I'd do without my God, my family/close friends, my Cleveland Indians and last but certainly not least, my music.

I've been absolutely fixated over the last 3-4 weeks on the new Taylor Swift CD and then the new John Mayer CD.

It's been ridiculous! I have to have them blaring constantly in the car and at home! Thank God for my 8 mile treadmill session last week. I buzzed through at least 5 CD's and found that I adored the John Mayer "Battle Studies" CD.

Usually when I hear a song, I have a favorite line in the song, or even a favorite note sequence. Ok, so I'm crazy about my music...but it keeps me happy!

I started thinking --which is usually a mistake! I decided to write down my favorite line from each song on the CD and see what kind of song it would make.

Just for fun, of course!

So here goes --my favorite line from each song and we'll see how it winds up!


"I bought a ticket on a plane and by the time it landed you were gone again...

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight, let's fix this whole thing now....

Suddenly, I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe....

Asked the Lord for mercy....said, Help me if you please....

If fear hasn't killed me yet, then nothing will.....

You whisper come on over 'cause you're two drinks in....

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe....

In all my revelry I thought I felt us there.....

Who says I can't be free from all of the things that I used to be, rewrite my history, who says I can't be free....

Lonely was the song I sang 'til the day you came showing me another way and all that my love can bring....

And when I look behind on all my younger times, I'll have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong...."



Well, not bad. May need some fine tuning.....but every single one of these lines has special meaning in my life right now....and I thank you John Mayer for being one of the people bringing such joy to my life over the last few weeks!
