I Crave for Mayer

Hi! Apologize that my blog seems full of my too-easy-to-get-captivated mind. To be frank I'm not a type of person who adores certain people because I am too afraid to let down if those people disappointing. I mean, they can't be your idol anymore from then. But as an exception, I have to admit that Mayer Hawthorne, James Franco, Cillian Murphy, and John Malkovich are my idols. Always will be. They're even inspiring.

I talked about them many (respectively in previous posts) but let's this time get started with Mayer (again!). Mayer comes back with his second album, The Walk. Check his new video. Beware that's not edited version, mind of kids around you if you are watching in Starbucks.

Mm, at first I thought it was with a touch of Mr. And Mrs. Smith, that kinda bored me a bit. But I like him so I continued watching the video, it is not that bad. They made it in silly way because in shoot bang bang scene they (Mayer and the girl) targeted unusual spot like shoulder, even butts, and they keep running yet chasing each other.

After the video I search the lyric and I can't be more amused. Hahahaha he worked it in cool way as always. I like the phrase "So long you did me wrong" and "You can walk those high heels baby right out of my life" He successfully made this actually-a-sad-song into groovy smooth.

Funny how I just knew his latest album is out now. Perhaps I should check Ak'sara soon to get it. Mayer's music is much like soul yet jazzy (blame my reference, in brief I'd say only two kind of music, one is good, other is better. I'd say Mayer's better). It's like listening to radio in late 60s or early 70s, I hasn't even born yet, maybe mom and dad haven't met each other. I once saw in Youtube comment, I forgot which video, could be How Do You Do, a 60ish (grandpa) man commented how rare he could be able to listen to this kinda music again, even dance with it. It's like coming back to his young age and he can't help not to shed tears.

Ah well, there was one time that I'd regret myself cause I missed his show in Jakarta on early 2011. Shouldn't be that regretful cause the show was in a cafe, well it's indoor. Mayer must have performed his music as DJ (smartypants) not with the full band, The County. His outdoor show must be cooler as I watch on Youtube.

Here's one thing to argue, if God does exist, I think He can't let me die soon before I watch Mayer's show, it's a bucket list. People at work now start to like Mayer too as I play his songs all day long, hahahaha. Imagine mommies like Mayer's songs. Too cool huh. I bet their children's first lesson is how to dance.

Anyway, if you haven't listened to him, try. I can guarantee that you won't desert it. It's a big masterpiece.
