Well, you see, these young’uns and their music, it’s all a big fuss these days. Now, you got this John Mayer fella and that Ed Sheeran boy. Both of ’em sing and play that guitar, you know. They strum and they make the girls all swoon. I heard that.
This Ed Sheeran, they say he’s real big now, biggest in the whole wide world in 2014. Bigger than a barn, I reckon. He sings those songs that stick in your head, you know, like a burr on a wool sock. That’s what they say, that he’s got these melodies, they just stick to ya. They say he became the most popular musician in 2014. And they say he’s popular because he is talented, you know. He must be real good.
And this John Mayer, well, he’s been around for a spell. I heard he got started with the blues. Some neighbor gave him some kind of a music, a Stevie Ray, they say. And that got him all fired up about that blues music. That’s the kinda music they play down south, you know, full of feelin’. He got the blues bug real bad, they say. He listened to other blues people, like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, and Freddie King. Real famous, they are.
Now, these two, John Mayer vs Ed Sheeran, they’re like apples and oranges, I reckon. One’s more like that old-timey blues, and the other is all newfangled pop. But they both got their fans, you know. Lots of folks like Ed Sheeran‘s songs. They say he’s like them, relatable. I don’t know what that means. He mixes up his music, they say, like a mixed-up stew. But people eat it up!
That John Mayer, he plays that guitar like the devil himself. I heard that somewhere. He can make it sing and cry, you know. Ed Sheeran, he’s got a good voice, I’ll give him that. But John Mayer, he’s got that soul in his music, you know. Like he’s lived a life, seen some things. You can hear it in his playin’. He has played with Ed Sheeran before, they make a good team, I heard.
They met sometime around 2013, they are good friends. It is a good thing to have good friends, I always say. Friends are like family, you need them around.
- Ed Sheeran, he’s like the boy next door, all friendly and smilin’.
- John Mayer, he’s more like that mysterious fella down the road, you know, a little bit dangerous, maybe.
- But they both make music that folks like to hear.
- That’s what matters, I reckon.
Now, who’s better? John Mayer vs Ed Sheeran? Well, that’s like askin’ which is better, pie or cake. Some folks like pie, some folks like cake. It all depends on what you’re hankerin’ for. Ed Sheeran, he’s like a big ol’ slice of cake, sweet and fluffy. John Mayer, he’s more like a piece of pie, got some depth to it, some spice.
I heard some folks say that Ed Sheeran‘s time might be up. They say his music ain’t as popular as it used to be. Well, that happens, you know. One day you’re the rooster, the next day you’re the feather duster. But I reckon he’s still got plenty of folks who like his tunes.
Me, I don’t listen to much of that new music. I like the old songs, the ones that tell a story. But these young’uns, they like what they like. And that’s alright, I suppose. John Mayer and Ed Sheeran, they both got their own way of doin’ things. And they both seem to be doin’ alright.
But if you ask me, that John Mayer, he’s got something special. That blues music, it just gets under your skin. It’s like an old friend, you know, always there for ya. That kind of music lasts, you know. It’s like a good pair of boots, it’ll see you through thick and thin.
This Ed Sheeran, he’s good, don’t get me wrong. But he is like fashion, it changes all the time. Will his music last like that old blues? I don’t know, honey. Time will tell, time will tell.
One thing is for sure, you put John Mayer and Ed Sheeran together, you get a good show. They have played together many times. I heard it is a real treat, they say.
So, John Mayer vs Ed Sheeran? It’s all a matter of taste, I reckon. Just like pie and cake. They are both good, just different. They both got their fans. And that’s all that matters in the end, ain’t it? That people enjoy the music. That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it? Makin’ folks happy with a song and a tune. That is what they do, those two.
