John Mayer released snippet of new single 'Shadow Days'

John Mayer released snippet of new single 'Shadow Days'John Mayer recently teased his new song on his official Tumblr page. Yesterday, February 16th, Mayer released a snippet of his new single "Shadow Days", somehow it's a representative title for his music hiatus he's now closing after undergoing a throat surgery last year. The one-minute snippet also read a note: "Here's a clip of the first single off 'Born and Raised'. I'm excited to share the first bit of sound from the album... Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy."

"Well I ain't no troublemaker/ And I never meant her harm," Mayer croons over the acoustic guitar tune, insisting he's no bad boy. "I'm a good man, with a good heart/ Had a tough time, got a rough start." Before the music fades, he repeats the line, "My shadow days are over." Give it a listen in here.

Born and Raised album was originally scheduled for an October 2011 release, but it was delayed when Mayer was diagnosed with granuloma and forced to undergo extensive throat surgery.
