Madeline Moore Version
John Mayer Original
For my second journal I chose a song that is personally to me so touching that it's hard not to feel something after hearing it. Heartbreak Warfare was originally done by John Mayer and that's when I started liking it. But, only after hearing the Madeline Moore version did I truly fall in love with the song. She, for me, just brings out the vulnerability in the lyrics with her voice. John Mayer's is more rock-pop, and lets through the anger slightly, showing the other side of the argument in the lyrics. Her version calms the instrumental parts, highlighting her soft voice and it shows the sadness, letting through the touch of hurt that the lyrics imply which John Mayer's version doesn't.
