John Clayton Mayer(/ˈmeɪ.ər/MAY-ər; born October 16, 1977)
is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Born and raised in Fairfield
County, Connecticut, Mayer attended Berklee
College of Music in Boston, but left and moved to Atlanta in 1997 with Clay Cook. Together, they formed a
short-lived two-man band called Lo-Fi Masters. After their split, Mayer
continued to play local clubs, refining his skills and gaining a following. After
his appearance at a 2001 South by
Southwest Festival, he was signed to Aware Records, and
eventually to Columbia Records, which
released his first extended play Inside Wants Out. His
following two studio albums—Room for Squares(2001)
and Heavier Things (2003)—performed well commercially, achieving multi-platinum status. In 2003, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his single "Your Body Is
a Wonderland".
By 2005, Mayer had moved away from the
acoustic music that characterized his early records, and begun performing the blues and rock music
that had originally influenced him as a musician. He collaborated with blues
artists such as B. B. King, Buddy Guy, and Eric Clapton. Forming
the John Mayer Trio, he
released a live album, Try!, in 2005 and his third
studio album Continuum in 2006. Both albums received positive reviews, and Continuum earned
Mayer a 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on
the World to Change". That album was followed
by Battle
Studies in 2009, a return to pop, with a Battle
Studies World Tour.
After having several controversial incidents
with the media, Mayer withdrew from public life in 2010 and began work on his
fifth studio album, Born and
Raised, which drew inspiration from the 1970s pop
music of Laurel Canyon.
However, the discovery of a granuloma on his
vocal cords delayed the release of the album until May 2012, and forced him to
cancel the planned tour. The album received a generally favorable reception, though
was less commercially successful than his previous work. Mayer
began performing as a singer again in January 2013, and that year released his
sixth studio album, Paradise
Valley, which incorporates country music influences. By 2014, he had sold a total of over 20 million albums
worldwide. His seventh album, The Search
for Everything, a loose concept album based
around the theme of a romantic break-up, was released in 2017. Mayer released
his latest album Sob Rock, inspired
by 1980s soft rock music,
in July 2021.
Sob Rock is the eighth studio album by
American singer-songwriter John Mayer,
released on July 16, 2021, by Columbia Records.
The single "New Light",
released in May 2018, is included on the album, as are Mayer's two singles from
2019, "I Guess I Just Feel Like" and "Carry Me Away". The
lead single "Last Train
Home" was released on June 4, 2021, and
features guest vocals from Maren Morris.
Mayer toured the United States with Dead & Company from August through October 2021 and will embark on a solo tour in
support of the album in 2022.
It's a hard run
Loving like we do
Takes way too long to get over you
And remember the line we drew
But call me over and I'm comin' through
We're searching for the night together
Where we don't fall apart
Might be now and it might be never
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
And I wonder what it all means
Strange conversation with you in my dreams
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I've loved seven other women and they all
were you
We had a run of bad romances
They always missed the mark
So close your eyes now and take your chances
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
I want you in the worst way
Is the gate code still your birthday?
If you thought you met your Casanova
And he left you with a broken heart
Remember when it's done and over
It was only just a shot in the dark
It was only just a shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark, come on
now
It was just another
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now.
