I like that John Mayer song “Waiting on the World to Change” so much. I like it so much that whenever I hear it I drop whatever I’m doing and just think about life, and I feel really hopeful and good. I’m not kidding you, it might be my favorite song ever right now, and at the same time I’m really into the new Arcade Fire album and am having a renewed love affair with one of my favorite bands of all times, Pavement, and I sort of don’t know how to resolve it all. This is when I’m really glad we live in this modern age with iPods.

I LIKE THIS SONG AS WELL, BUT I DON’T AGREE WITH THE LYRICS. THE REALITY IS, THE WORLD DOESN’T CHANGE, THE INDIVIDUAL DOES.

I like the “an entire generation is going to change the population” line in “Waiting…”

I think the lyrics are very powerful…the point being, rather than “waiting for the world to change”, you have to get out there and do something.
Besides, when one individual changes, that does change the world, it shifts the balance…it just might not always be in the direction of good!
Great song!

The song definitely rules. Amazing how it sums up how I feel about the last many years, politically. I have the exact same feelings as you while listening to it.
I suppose this means you will no longer like the song, knowing that I like it too…since we just can’t seem to like the same music…no?
