Clarity (John Mayer song)

Clarity is a song by John Mayer, lushly arranged with piano and drums provided, in part, by The Roots drummer Questlove and brass by two time Grammy winner Roy Hargrove. It was the second single from Mayer's 2003 album Heavier Things. The song's meaning is not immediately clear. Some interpretations have characterized the song as being about coming to terms with a relationship, while others have interpreted the song as being about a person's own self-perception. At his February 28, 2007, show at Madison Square Garden, John introduced "Clarity" as a song written about the first few seconds after waking up in the morning when you don't remember all of the problems and worries in your life.
