Meaning of In Your Atmosphere by John Mayer

"In Your Atmosphere" by John Mayer tells the story of a person who is unable to move on from a past relationship with someone they deeply care for. The protagonist is contemplating a trip to Los Angeles, a place where they used to visit often with their love interest. However, they realize that going back there would only bring back painful memories and the longing to be with their former flame. They feel lost without the guidance and love of their partner, and the thought of being in the city without them is unbearable. The protagonist recognizes that seeing their ex would either cause them immense pain or make them feel incomplete without their presence. They decide to stay away from L.A. and remain in a state of uncertainty, stuck in the gray area of their relationship and constantly thinking about their former lover's life without them. In summary, "In Your Atmosphere" portrays the feeling of being incapable of moving on from a past love, and the difficulty of letting go and accepting that happiness can be found outside of that person's life.

This guy is the voice for every nerd, spaz or love addict that could really never get over the girl you just couldn't have or keep around. This song is about the girl that broke your heart and wish to see everyday. But if you did see her all you could do is just die of fear. So instead you look at her profile on her social network page and just watch her develop on her profile pics. Then finally ask yourself "What if"

On the DVD, John introduces this song by saying, "So this is a song that I wrote a long time ago and it kind of fell out of fashion with me and then it kind of has fallen back into fashion with me a bit." This song is different from the original version in that he adds the last two paragraphs of lyrics to this version. The original version is said to be about Jennifer Love Hewitt. He performed this on December 8, 2007 and less than a week before it was announced that she was engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall. This song could just as easily, however, resonate with him about dating Jessica Simpson. They had broken up in May of that same year. While I like to focus on John's career and avoid the tabloid BS, there's something very endearing about sending that message to someone he loved. Break ups can be strange for all of us and imagine if every time you saw a magazine at the grocery store, you saw your ex on it living their new life. Must be an odd mix of feeling disconnected and yet still connected. I'd write a song about it too! :)

"Get lost on the boulevard at night Without your voice to tell me I love you, take a right The 10 and the 2 is the lonely sight"

When he was in LA with his girl she would give him directions because he didn't know the streets. "I love you, take a right" He goes on to say "10 and 2 are the loneliest sight." What he means here is that his hand are at 10 and 2 o'clock on the steering wheel. This is sad because he would usually be using one hand to steer and be holding hands with his girl.

Amazing skills by Mr. Mayer. Amazing music and words.

i definitely agree with you. i also think though, that when he says "the 10 and the 2 are the loneliest sight" its also like his hands are clenched on the steering wheel out of the frustration of the situation he's dealing with.

Actually ... time to head on over to mapquest ... HWY 10 and HWY 2 are the two highways that you need to get on to go to Hollywood Blvd, although your interpretation is convenient it doesn't really follow. "Taking a right" (his words) would only be the 2 o'clock direction on the steering wheel, not the 10, and even then you turn the steering wheel a lot further than 2 o'clock than to turn right. Nice idea though ... I'm always fascinated by how deep insights people can get from lyrics that the originator never anticipated.

Oops ... I now see what you mean by the 10 and 2 ... where you put your hands. Incidentally, people in LA (all my relatives live there) refer to HWY 10 and HWY 2 as "the 10" and "the 2", but whenever referring to hand placement it's always followed with the word "o'clock". The other is that JM said after breaking up with Simpson it had renewed meaning and added this last phrase. Guess where both Simpson and Hewitt live? Right ... you gotta take "the 10 and the 2" to get there.

I wonder where I am in my relationship to you. Wherever you go, Wherever you are, I watch that pretty life play out in pictures from afar.

Wow. That's always the hardest to see stuff like that happen no matter how over each other you are.

In today's day of Facebook and MySpace...I know stuff like the last stanza happens to me all of the time.

Wherever you go, Wherever you are, I watch that pretty life play out in pictures from afar.

Cuz you can "watch [your ex's] life play in pictures from afar [like at a different college or city]" pretty easily if you at least tried to stay friends after a break-up...or if your ex is a high profile celebrity like JEssica Simpson who's always in the tabloids.

Definetely Jennifer Love Hewitt. As soon as I heard the first line she came to my head, but I really wouldn't know.

And a few mistakes again - I don’t think I’m gonna go to L.A. anymore Get lost on the boulevard at night Without your voice to tell me I love you, take a right The 10 and the 2 is the lonely sight.

At first I didn't care much for this song, it seemed too repetitive. But once I listened carefully to the words, it's become one of my favorites. Sounds like the old John we first heard from in 'Room for Squares'.

'And sunset says we see this all the time, nevermind, never you mind.' I love that part. You're always asking to anyone or anything who would answer for an explanation or a consolation.

And I agree, I mean in his case, yes, he follows their lives through magazines while I, on the other hand watch their lives through pictures on Facebook and stuff. Not that I'm a stalker hahah it's just like an automatic thing. As much as I know it hurts, I always find myself watching pictures of him.

"Cause I’d die if I saw you Die if I didn’t see you"

Man, that's the truth. It's like, either way, you'd go home feeling awful if you went around there, because part of you doesn't want to face that person, and part of you does. Man, this is an amazing song.

i think he actually says "the 10 and the 2 is the lonely side", because thats the driver side, and you can sit on the drivers side by yourself, but if youre in the passenger side, there someone else in the car there with you. so if he was on the drivers side by himself, it would be the lonely side.

This song means everything to me and everything that I have been through. This is the song that you listen to when you meet somebody and you know you two will never ever be together and you know that you two will never see each other again and you know that because in between you two there is an entire Atlantic pool. You're thousands of miles away and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. That is what this song means to me.

Song Spotlight: ‘In Your Atmosphere’ by John Mayer

Few songs still affect me the same way they did when I first heard them. Songs often become stale after you play them over and over again.

However, it’s been more than three years since I first listened to “In Your Atmosphere” by John Mayer, and it’s still as beautiful as it was the first time I heard it.

Bridgeport, Connecticut native John Mayer has been a household name in pop music for more than 20 years. He is best known for his impeccable guitar skills and lyrically brilliant songwriting. Mayer has hits such as “Gravity,” “Your Body is a Wonderland” and “New Light” under his belt, and that’s just a very small sample. His personal life is often subject to gossip, but it’s hard to deny his impact on the music industry.

“In Your Atmosphere” has intricate guitar riffs, beautiful songwriting and raw emotion — it’s Mayer at his best. He’s an expert at combining all three of these aspects into his music. While his listeners have varied opinions on which of his many songs are at the top of his discography, it’s always guaranteed that John Mayer will deliver a good song.

There is no studio version of “In Your Atmosphere.” The only version that’s on Spotify is a live performance from 2007. But I think that adds to the song’s life. While being an incredible live act, and I say that from personal experience, there’s something about the unpolished-ness of “In Your Atmosphere” that makes the song seem polished. If I had to describe this song in one word, it would be raw — raw in its performance, in its purity and its beauty.

As a writer, I have a deep appreciation for songs with vivid and authentic songwriting. “In Your Atmosphere” does exactly that in such a simple yet mesmerizing way. In truth, I think the whole song is genius from beginning to end, but the outro is the highlight for me.

While I often love songs I relate to, that isn’t always the case. The pain and yearning that Mayer paints in this song isn’t something I particularly relate to on the level he’s singing about, but that’s another reason why I find this song absolutely genius. It’s an ode to an artist that can create a song that still impacts their listeners even if they don’t necessarily connect with it personally. This song still makes me emotional, and I’ve probably heard it over 100 times now. That’s a testament to Mayer’s skill, which has led him and continues to lead him to a place among some of the musical greats.
