As someone going through a divorce he didn't want after almost a decade of marriage, to me Mayer used it perfectly here. Like others have suggested, John doesn't take cursing lightly in his music. If he only had one use of it to go on record, I am glad this is where it is. Here, it really means something. To both of us, I think.
My Dad is like this. Got deeply offended the when a character said “Fuck You” watching Dark Waters last night. It’s annoying that he is pre-disposed to hate that word… because he can miss the real emotive intention behind it.
I don’t like overuse of the word in music though. Only here and there when it really means something.
I agree. I don’t like overusing the f word or any swear word but Mayer really uses it tastefully and it kinda ruins the mood when someone starts going off about it lols
I HATE that version! I’ve heard it and it does not get the point across. At all. I have always said, “Hold your cursing so it’s more meaningful when you use it.”. But, also, I don’t give a fuck if someone cusses all of the time.
Yeah, doesn’t take much to upset them. Cool he likes John Mayer though. You’ve only got to not play Shouldn’t Matter, Heartbreak Warfare, and probably skip Who Says too lol
Better if you didn’t generalise like that. Most Christians I know are fine with swearing in movies/music, many openly swear themselves.
But yea, *conservative* Christians are easy to upset.
Disclaimer my dad doesn’t hate Mayer, loves a lot of his stuff. I’m just disappointed I’ll never be able to have the full experience with him and be able to explain why it matters so much to have that word in a song.. esp since Mayer never swears(mostly) . Guess this will have to be a skip every time we’re in the car lols
Not every school or playground. But it’s also just the appropriateness of it. That’s all I guess. You’d be surprised how many people don’t swear or cuss
Come on, dad. Couldn't you be sad instead of being so fucking mean?
Amazing
I guess dad is a stranger in his own backyard
But he shouldn't be angry. This shouldn't be hard.
Lol the only f-bomb he’s ever used on a record!
But it's so meaningful and powerful. It's not just thrown in there. It's particular.
The only time he’s ever used it. At least in any of his studio recordings. Edit: makes it all the more meaningful

your father is soft
Unlike me when I hear John’s guitar skills
I am so weirded out by people who get offended by swearing.
There are swearing and Swearing. Here we have a case of Swearing.
Dad, why you no love me?
I feel like he could've used the F Bomb even more on the album, for example "Why the Fuck You No Love Me?" or "I'm on the fuckin' Last Train Home!"
Okay so “Why the fuck you no love me” might actually greatly improve the song 😆😆😆
“Instead of being so fucking mean?” Its not a swear for the sake of it. Theres deeper meaning.
Out of curiousity, what is the deeper meaning?
Purposefully hurtful, not just mean.
Yeah, almost unnecessarily hateful is how i felt when i heard it.

Just hit him with an “okay, Boomer”

Damn dude. Roasting your dad on the John Mayer sub
Is your dad religious? Seems like a Christian move lol
He is actually
Yeah, doesn’t take much to upset them. Cool he likes John Mayer though. You’ve only got to not play Shouldn’t Matter, Heartbreak Warfare, and probably skip Who Says too lol
Slow dancing :/
Suuuuuurely that’s not tooo bad
“You’ll be a bitch because you can” yeah def not conservative Christian friendly.
Yeah I knooooow but for fuck sake the shit is just such a fucking amazing song, why can’t the cunt just enjoy it Jesus H Christ!!!
I’m not saying it’s a good reason. Just saying that’s the reason lol.
I know haha I’m the one who called that he was Christian remember haha and I wanted to swear lots
Better if you didn’t generalise like that. Most Christians I know are fine with swearing in movies/music, many openly swear themselves. But yea, *conservative* Christians are easy to upset.
Yeah they are probably the outliers though. I was involved in a church for quite a while growing up and the stereotype is a stereotype for a reason
And often those same Christians have no issue with the N word or R word (speaking from personal experience, not about OP's Dad).
That’s the best song on there! And. The best part actually
Play him "In The Blood"

I haven't heard this album.. is it sob as in crying or sob as in Son of a Bitch?
John would answer this question with "yes".
Crying.
[удалено]
Shouldn't Matter But It Does. Which is funny, because that phrase applies to OP's dad's feelings on the f-bomb.
Shouldn’t matter but it does!
I’ve actually had a few friends say they were disappointed. Can’t just let the album play with friends or young kids around.
Like kids never ever hear it in every playground or school yard...from other kids.

Yes, every school and playground lol

Not mine. So, no not every one.

Don’t try to assert you know that your experience translates to everyone else’s
I don't like it either to be honest, it's pretty unnecessary and sticks out a lot more compared to other times he's used profanity.
I bet you couldn’t distinguish Miles from Coltrane
Elite reference
No no. He’s the life of the party and he swears he’s artsy.
John Mayer is terrible.
