.....
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
I shake a little
Sometimes i hate the line I walk
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do whats right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall From the sky

Because this river is wild 
God speed you boy 
This river is wild

Perubahan adalah satu kata yang, tergantung bagaimana situasinya, bisa menjadi makna yang sangat besar dan kompleks. Berubah, atau hanya mengikuti alur yang berubah, ketika yang dilalui tidaklah hal yang sama seperti sebelumnya, menjadi suatu perubahan bagi diri kita.

Saya sejujurnya terkadang sangat takut dengan perubahan. New things always excite me, but to deal with transformation sometimes scared me. Meninggalkan yang lama. Perubahan berarti menyesesuaikan diri lagi. Memiliki lingkungan baru. Mendapati teman baru. Menghadapi masalah baru. Yang mungkin, belum pernah saya alami sebelumnya. Bagaimana nanti kalau begini? Bagaimana kalau nanti begitu? Bagaimana kalau gagal? Berbagai macam pertanyaan yang tidak bisa dijawab karena saya belum menjalaninya.

But, life goes on. If your life stuck at a point, there must be something wrong with it. Dan dalam hidup memang dibutuhkan suatu petualangan yang memang menuntut untuk mampu melalui berbagai perubahan.

You can't just let your fear prevents your dreams and/or what you deserve to have, because you don't know what future brings you into. Hmm, I really have to deal with this. A new thing, a new home. A new soul, a new journey.

hello!

I don't know whether he's getting too old, or we stay young, but the Born and Raised album is supposed to listen in the porch while having a cup of hot tea in your late 40s. You look back at your life, remember what you've done; your failure, your success, your fault, your regret, your disappointment; but at your age--with what you've been through, you know all you can do is just letting it go, and move on.

So after all the brokenheart and galauness songs in Battle Studies album, he wants to tell us to move on and look deep at our life, and, somehow just live it. He might lose his youth soul. The album is so country and folk, he can even have duet with Tantowi Yahya. I'm not saying the album is bad, it's just, I don't listen John Mayer songs the way I used to.

I have to add his first single, Shadow Days, has beautiful lyrics. The most beautiful ever. I love it from the first sentence to the last were amazing. His thought was brilliant, and you can love it at the first time you listen it. But while you listen to the whole album, you might feel like, "was that really you, John?".



remember what he said in Stop This Train song,
So scared of getting older,
I'm only good at being young

He might just too scared,
and force us to be old with him.

But, youth is just a matter of mindset. The youth soul live forever no matter what your age is.
We can be forever young though.

It's just how you choose you want to live your life with.

but then again, who am I to judge?
