The Heart Of Life Lyrics
Artist(Band):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 you 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
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
(Whistle Interlude)
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

Review about The Heart Of Life
new meaning | Reviewer: kerry | 5/31/09
as a long time JM fan, i've rediscovered the power of this song during a currently tough time in my life. chris - your review is a couple years old now - but i agree totally; this song and 'stop this train' went on repeat in the car today. actually, so did 'say'. also in agreeance with the musicianship comments you made - i hated on john when 'your body is a wonderland' came out, got convinced to go to a show, discovered he's a killer blues guitar player who can do clapton covers justice and has stevie ray vaughn as a hero, and have been a committed fan ever since. despite his recent forays into tabloid exposes, his simple yet meaningful tunes still touch me.

heather,
you are making a competition out of everyones pain, everyone has their burdens, and fare share of pain and heart break - yours is no greater than a strangers. Being young doesnt make someone any less susceptible to pain, and having experienced alot of pain in your life doesnt make this song any more exclusive to you. I'm sorry to be harsh, but stop feeling sorry for yourself, and thinking that you have somehow had it harder than everyone else. You said yourself this song is about how "life is good", despite it all... Your not acting that way, your loosing the meaning of this song in your own argument about your somehow profound understanding of the lyrics! I'ts about moving on, your not doing that!

Heather,
It's OK for you to be upset about your mother and your grandmother but don't take it out on people who are upset because someone broke up with them. You don't know the circumstances you don't understand.
Let people be open to what they want it to mean.
Losing your mother and grandmother is hard and I am deeply sorry for that but don't think that your pain is greater than another person's pain. You don't know their heart. You should take your pain and help them with theirs. This song is about people lifting each other up in times of need. So let's be uplifting. :)

You have no idea about music, and this song. It's supposed to help any situation you are in. Or can help, it doesn't have to be about death, it can just be about losing someone, or something, moving on, anything. In the end, it's trying to tell you life is amazing regardless.
It is just good. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/19/08
I have been a fan of John for the "Waiting on the World to change" song and today I listened this The Heart of Life song and I just can't describe how it is related to my things and issues.
Pain throws your heart to the...
No, it won't all go the way...
Love turns the whole thing around...
I love this song and he describe both side of life. But the heart of life is good.
On par with "Only Heart" | Reviewer: EveryonesHero | 10/13/07
With songs like "Wheel" and "Only Heart", John has always made everlasting songs that seep into your membrane and stay there till your brother beats you with your own shoe for playing it so many times...and this one is no exception. The lyrics convey a meaningful message, while the ryhthm causes said seeping into head (and beating). Keep 'em coming, John.
RE: Heather Bea's response | Reviewer: Dan | 8/23/07
I think Heather needs to take a step into reality herself! The beauty of this song is that it can mean many different things to many different people in many types of situations. It's incredibly close-minded to put down someone's opinion when it revolves around something as subjective as the message in a song. It sounds like Heather has gone through some rough times, but it is rather selfish to think her interpretation of the song is any better or more accurate than someone else's. John Mayer would be disappointed with a response like Heather's, because he's all about open interpretation of his songs, and how each song can mean something different to everyone it reaches.
Circle of friends are your silver lining | Reviewer: Heather Bea | 8/10/07
You kids all think it's so EMO and about boys and girls... You all are going to have such a rude awakening - if it ever happens... when you step foot into the real world, ouch, it's gonna hurt! So sad you think this song is about an 17 year bf/gf that broke up with you -BFD!!! - try loosing your mom - your grandmother at 22 years of age within the same year - having your ex-husband walk out 3 months after your mother dies - Wake up - That is The Heart of Life! Love, life is good - remember he's just a boy - or girl... Not your Mom or Grammy - read a damn book for goodness sakes!
Amazing. | Reviewer: Chris | 7/20/07
I think this song is on par with 'Stop This Train'.
Both those songs have quickly moved up there with my favourite songs of all time.
Also, the guitar to this song is very impressive, as a guitarist currently trying to learn this song I think I can appreciate the talent; singing and playing this on guitar at the same time.
Brilliant song, brilliant message.
love it <3 | Reviewer: Maddie | 7/2/07
Truth be told, this song has never really been my favorite. But yesterday I found out that my best friend decided to date the boy that she knew I have liked for a year. I was devestated. My favorite part in this song is when John says "No, it won't all go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good." That line has reminded me that just because things aren't going my way, I still have a great life, and I need to thank God for all the good things He's given me instead of this not working out.
PS- John Mayer is also incredibly hott. :)
