Greetings Hive Family! This week's theme is 'Amor de Familia'.
This song has John Mayer singing about a girl who 'puts the colour insider of his world'
He feels like she's still a mystery and he's done everything he can to make her happy but he starts to understand that it might not have to do with him. He later says that she 'saw him walking away and now she's left cleaning up the mess he made' referring to her past and the relationship she had with her father. And how it affects his relationship with her.
Even though this track made it as a hit song, it been criticised about the way he focuses only 'Daughters' and not 'Sons'. My interpretation is that he wrote the song in his point of view and how it affected his personal relationship. It applies to everyone in my opinion. The way parents look after their children, their habits and behaviour, words and actions affects the kids to a great extent and shape them to the adults they are going to be in the future.
And it highlights the importance of 'Love of Family' and their role in bringing up kids who are kind, empathetic and good to one another. Kids who are able to understand whats right and whats wrong and fight for a better world.
That being said, I'd wish to edit his chorus lyrics to -
'Fathers be good to your daughters and sons
Daughters and Sons will love like you do
Girls and boys become lovers and turn into Mothers and Fathers
So Mothers be good to your Sons and Daughters too'
Small disclaimers about the video, unfortunately my camera stopped recording the lead piano parts in the last 30 seconds and I didnt realize it till I was on the road editing this. Apologies. 🙏
