The Heart of Life by John Mayer

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position. There's things you need to hear, so turn off your tears and listen. Pain throws your heart to the ground. Love turns the whole thing around. No, it won't all go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good. You know it's nothing new- bad news never had good timing. But then the circle of your friends will defend the silver lining. Pain throws your heart to the ground. Love turns the whole thing around. No, it won't all go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good. Pain throws your heart to the ground. Love turns the whole thing around. Fear is a friend who's misunderstood. But I know the heart of life is good, I know it's good, I know it's good. Oh i know it's good. Oh i know it's good. Oh I do, I do, I do. Oh I know it's good.

One of the things I love about John Mayer is how his songs work perfectly with so many aspects of life. This is one of my favorite songs by him. I love the quote "You know it's nothing new- bad news never had good timing. But then the circle of your friends will defend the silver lining." It's so true! Also, "Fear is a friend who's misunderstood." I love it. I need to think about that more. There's so many reasons to have fear in life. Sometimes I just need courage to get up in the morning and tackle the day. I know personally, that sometimes I need to let loose and just take life as it comes. I worry so much about my life's direction and what's going to happen in the near future. It's these days and moments that I need to be cherishing. I know it sounds cliche, but there's a lot of truth to that statement. Each day that passes can never be brought back. I need to be making some sweet memories. Just like the song says- bad things happen. (I always think about that famous quote from Forrest Gump. Who knew that movie would be so inspirational? :)). However, the heart of life IS good. More good things happen than bad things. That's for certain. And when crummy things do happen, there's always people in your life who will pick you up again. Man, I just love John Mayer. Life rocks.
