Your Body Is A Wonderland

Single Release0 Comments

 

The artist releases his single, Your Body Is A Wonderland, from his album, Room For Squares.

It’s really a song about when you could love someone enough to jump into bed at 4 and get out when it’s dark, like when you go see a movie and you walk out and it’s dark out – same thing except instead of the movie it’s sex.

Daughters

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases Daughters, from Heavier Things.

I loved a girl a lot, but she couldn’t trust men. And if you trace it back, it was the first man in her life she couldn’t trust. I know this song sounds like I’m just sitting around the house, spitballing, thinking of really lofty things to think about, but it really is the result of tracing it backwards to find out how I could possibly love this person. And the answer is: you can’t. Because someone else didn’t before you.

Simpson, Mayer dating

0 Comments

mayerSimpson and Mayer are now dating after being spotted at his Continuum tour in Australia. The couple was also spotted on Byron Beach.

You could tell he was telling her jokes and she was giggling and stuff. He wasn’t bothered by anything else that was going on, he was just concentrating on her. They were walking really close, holding hands. They seemed great together.

Who Says

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases Who Says, from his album, Battle Studies.

Around the time I was making Continuum, I was having a little sex, and I was listening to Miles Davis’ In A Silent Way. I was naked and playing the guitar post-coitus. I was fiddling around with the guitar, and I went (singing) ‘Who says I can’t get stoned…’ And it was lovely.

Half of My Heart

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Half of My Heart, from his album, Battle Studies.

I woke up with the song in my head called Half of My Heart and the idea is that it’s this real sort of updated – not that it needs to be updated – sort of Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks thing. I thought, ‘Well, if this is going to be my love letter to that style of music, who’s going to be the Stevie Nicks in this equation?’ And I thought, ‘This Taylor Swift girl is going to be around for a long time.

Mayer, Perry dating

0 Comments

Perry and Mayer are dating after they were spotted leaving the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles for dinner. The pair have been chatting on the phone and have gone out a few times – but they’re taking things slow. She wants a normal relationship that doesn’t always involve the media. She doesn’t want to reveal a lot of things about her personal life only bits and pieces. Source:

I don’t think either of them are trying for anything serious right now. She’s not talking like he’s The One. She’s comfortable around guys who understand the craziness of that world, which he definitely does.

Perry, Mayer split

0 Comments

Perry and Mayer split. The couple had been dating for the past seven months. Before splitting, the couple spend Christmas together with her family. Perry:

Sometimes you have to go through all this sh*t to get your grips on life. You have to go through the mud in order to find that peaceful place. I’m living in the now and not fantasizing about the past. I have a lot of respect for [John] still, and I know it goes both ways. There’s no bad blood, but I’m sure there will be inspired songs.

Who You Love

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases Who You Love, featuring Perry, from his album, Paradise Valley. Mayer:

I started singing ‘And my girl, she ain’t the one I saw coming. Sometimes I don’t know which way to go. And I tried to run before, but I’m not running anymore.’ In 2013, modern-day times that’s sweet. Because there’s so many other things to occupy your time that you can do for yourself. That to say, I tried to be alone but I can’t. This is sort of our generation.
