I know that many people that have posted things here have either had bad relationships with their parents or think this song is controversial. However, i dont wanna brag but I have a good relationship with my parents. I'm definately a daddy's girl, so this song really means a lot to me. As for this song being sexist and controversial, I can see where you are coming from. Yes, for people that are gay, this song doesn't really include you, but I think that it wasn't meant to completely exempt you. For John Mayer to write this song, thats just the way that it was for him. Had his situation been different, I think the song would have been different. A new outlook | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/13/2007 This song is really beautiful... In response to DMU, my father has definately messed things up and my best friend, who is, like you, gay, has been one of the most important people in my life. It's him I think about when I read these lyrics. He pretty much renewed my shattered faith in men. So, I don't believe this song to be sexist or homophobic at all...it's all in the way you perceive things. Amazing! | Reviewer: Melissa | 8/9/2007 i absolutely love this song! whenever i read the lyrics or here the song...it just makes me cry cuz its so deep and our parents do everything for us...and its so true! not like alot of the songs these days!! olii | Reviewer: Olivia | 8/6/2007 this is the best dong ever, its really deep, and i think it is true, because everynthing we do, depends of the education our parents gave us when we were kids, and it also is really beautifulk because it taks about women in a great wy, that makes us feel so good, the guy who wrote this song is or was really inlove love this song | Reviewer: cara | 8/6/2007 i love this song so much. its one of my favorite songs. n im having a sweet 16 soon n this is gona be the song me n my dad dance to. im really excited, and im so happy that i can have this song playing while me and my dad dance together. i love my dad, and i think this is an amazing song. I LOVE YOU JOHN MAYER! <3 Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/2007 I'd heard this song dozens of times before, but....after reading the lyrics during a particularly emotional moment......wow. My wife has a father that didn't treat her well, and, heh, she's a maze and after 24 years it's coming apart and it's not about me at all. And we have a 15 year old daughter. I AM the God and weight of my daughter's world. Wow. Thanks, John. Simple Statement | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/2007 I like this song, it touched me in many ways, and anyone that critizes it, well you don't have a family like mine! My mother left when i was 7 and my dad left when i was 9! I lived with my grandparent till the age of 13 when my father decided that he actually wanted to be a good dad and raise me, but when he came back in my life he was to involved with his "new" fiance, to even realize my brother and I were even there! mmm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/11/2007 i doubt any girl who has felt heartache, deperation or lonliness becuase of the actions of her father or male in her life would find this song sexist. my father has been an alcoholic for most of my life. the first time i heard this song i was in the car with him and i almost started to cry because it immediately touched me. this song is not demeaning to girls and in my opinion, its heroic of john mayer to make a statement like this song. i take this song as john trying to touch anyone's mind and heart that he can to try and make even a momentary impact on their view of children, especially girls and stress that humans are so easily changed and molded because of their surroundings. i admire john mayer for his insight and concern. Definitely sexist | Reviewer: DMU | 6/22/2007 "Boys, you can break You find out how much they can take Boys will be strong And boys soldier on But boys would be gone without warmth from A woman's good, good heart" I don't understand how you can seriously state this song is not sexist. I'm sure the intentions of the author are good, but in the above quoted lyrics he makes a couple of general statements that clearly define roles to certain sexes. Boys breaking things, probably girls, boys soldiering on; boy = aggressor and girl = victim. "But boys would be gone without warmth from a womans good, good heart" is either meant as that every woman has a good heart, or that there is something about a _womans_ good heart that a boy needs. In the latter case the author states that women are purer and love differently than men, which I think can not be qualified as anything less than sexist. Had this song been about how he was loved purer and differently than how he had been loved before, I wouldn't have objected, even if he clearly stated it was by a girl. But why did he express himself in general statements? The only reason I can think of is to make it accessible to the majority of people; heterosexual (to-be-)parents. The worst part is this: "On behalf of every man looking out for every girl You are the god and the weight of her world" I'm a man, but I'm not the "god and weight of her world", I'm gay. And I am not the god and weight of my boyfriends world either, nor is he of mine. We have the kind of relationship that John Mayer hadn'thought of when writing this song, one without gods and women with extra super-love; an equal relationship. And we're both still here. So if you're straight, comply to the rolemodels mentioned in this song and (plan to) have children, you have no reason not to like this song. I'm glad it didn't make it to number one... PS: I do think he's a good singer and songwriter. In fact, before I knew what he was singing exactly, I liked it. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | | ||||||||||
