John Mayer — “Shadow Days”

“Did you know that you could be wrong/ And swear you're right? / Some people been known/ To do it all their lives,” John Mayer sings at the opening of “Shadow Days” from his upcoming anticipated album “Born and Raised.”

The soulful singer-songwriter released his new single earlier this week. “Shadow Days” is faithful to John Mayer’s poignant and sincere style of documenting the trials of heartbreak, change and the longing essence of true love with a simple kind of hopefulness that’s both inspiring and genuine.

As Mayer sings soothingly with his signature soft rock allure, he ascends from his previous place in the shadowed lands of loss and desire to a place of light and inner peace. And as he does so, he appears to be urging mankind to take his lead and ascend from the shadowed lands. Take a listen.
