"Only Heart" by John Mayer

John Mayer is a singer/songwriter who rose to fame in the 2000s with his distinctive vocals and extraordinary prowess on the guitar. It may surprise you that this well-known artist has yet to break into the top 10, although he's come close with favorites like "No Such Thing" (#13), "Your Body Is A Wonderland" (#18), "Daughters" (#19), "Waiting On The World To Change" (#14), and "Say" (#12).

But who needs the top 10 when you have Grammys? Mayer has no less than 6 of them to date:
"Your Body Is A Wonderland" won Grammy for Pop Male Vocal
"Daughters" won a Grammy for Song of the Year and a Grammy for Pop Male Vocal
"Waiting On The World To Change" won a Grammy for - guess - Pop Male Vocal
"Gravity" won a Grammy for Rock Solo Vocal
"Say" won a Grammy for Pop Male Vocal (Yet again! Can't any other guys sing today?)

"Only Heart" is one of his more upbeat and groovy tracks, lifted from his sophomore release from 2003, "Heavier Things." While it hasn't received the attention of his hits, this one ranks among one of my favorites from Mayer.
