buy 'born and raised' by john mayer

let me preface this by saying that yes, i know that john mayer is a total tool. i absolutely love him, despite it. 

'born and raised' is a totally different sound than his previous albums. while some of his tracks ('love is a verb' and 'something like olivia')  have the familiar heavy lead guitar and that sweet, sweet voice of his sounding softly, they all have more of a country-bluesy-mumford-and-sons sound to it. i really love it and think he can basically do no wrong. 

right now, here's my favorite...'age of worry.' it's speaking to me today!

Close your eyes and calm yourself

Build your heart an army

To defend your innocence

While you do everything wrong

Don't be scared to walk alone

Don't be scared to like it

There's no time that you must be home

So sleep where your darkness falls

Alive in the age of worry

Smile in the age of worry

Go wild in the age of worry

And sing Worry, why should I care?

No you fight is not within

Yours is with your timing

Dream your dreams but don't pretend

Be friends with what you are

Give your heart then change your mind

You're allowed to (throw) it

Cause God knows it's been done to you

And somehow you got through it

Alive in the age of worry

Rage in the age of worry

Sing out in the age of worry

And sing Worry, why should I care?

Rage in the age of worry

Act your age in the age of worry

And sing Worry, get out of here!
