The song ‘Edge Of Desire’ by John Mayer – Jackie’s goosebump moment

(text video)


“Hello! I’m Jackie, from Cook Islands. Like everyone, I’ve had times when I’ve felt uncertain, but music made me realize I was in the right place at the right time. I remember being 13 or 14 and starting at a new school. If you think high school is hard, imagine being the new girl and having no friends yet. It’s hard to make new friends and show them what you like, but when you do, it’s worth it. For a group project, 4 girls and I went to one of their houses after school and wondered what music to put on. After the homework was done, we talked about what music each of us liked and I put on ‘Edge of Desire’ and talked about the lyrics. I got chills and suppressed an urge to cry, and the girls came to hug me even though they hadn’t known me for long. I had been feeling incredibly alone and had no one to tell but they saw it in the song I chose.”
