Discussion John Mayer Says He Wants Kids Yesterday?
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I searched the subreddit and didn't see it anywhere.
Did anyone else listen to LIFE yesterday around 2:30 and hear him tee-up Dear Marie by saying something along the lines of:
"The older I get the more it's interesting to think about old lyrics. Some of them encapsulate how I was feeling at the time, and it's interesting to rethink those lyrics now that I'm older. And one of the best examples of that is the line in Dear Marie "I got my dream but you got your family". I did get my dream, but what if I could have both? If you are wondering why I haven't been out there lately, it's because I'm trying to put myself out there and do some work in the personal space to settle down, because even though I'm a super cool uncle, I think I would make an even more kickass dad".
Just interesting, John is 10 years older than me and he's been able to 'guide' me through a lot of life with his music, but after having kids I've been like, where are my JM songs for this?
