在康乃迪克州听着流行电台播放的音乐长大的John Mayer，13岁那年，邻居送他的一卷Stevie Ray的录音带，让他开始接触到蓝调音乐，两年后就抱着吉他在小镇上的蓝调酒吧弹唱，不久后，他觉得自己不太适合吉他领域，只因他不喜欢时下弹奏指法的复制风气，19岁前往波士顿伯克利音乐学院就读，希望能锻炼出独特的风格，Mayer念了几个月后，忽然发现自己对弹唱音乐的兴致远高于乐理研究，于是在 98年到亚特兰大著名的唱作家俱乐部'Eddie's Attic'驻唱，99年推出专辑作品《Inside Wants Out》后，他的六弦吉他与真诚的词曲深获地方性传媒的赞赏，2000年3月，Mayer前往德州奥斯汀参加'South By Southwest'音乐大会的演唱，随即被哥伦比亚音乐厂牌签为旗下歌手，同年秋季与Dave Matthews Band、Ben Folds Five的制作人John Alagia筹备专辑《Room For Squares》，随后还与传奇制作人Jack Joseph Puig (Eric Clapton、Weezer、The Black Crowes的专辑制作人)到洛杉矶进行专辑混音工程，现年23岁的Mayer对于唱作的执着表示说：“当你听到一首不错的歌，你会想办法查出那个唱歌的人，当你可以唱出那样子的作品的时候，大家就会不断的倾听你的歌声。”听着"No Such Thing"、"My Stupid Mouth"、"Neon"、"Love Song For No One"等一首首关于不安、爱慕、期部B等待与随想的唱作，把自己的心情与这些小品系在一起，随着恣意的节拍飞向天际，感受蔚蓝的年轻摇滚活力。
Lyrics:
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it
You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again)
Your body is a wonderland (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again)
Your body is a wonderland (I'll use my hands)
I'm never speaking up again
Now there's no reason
I've got the kind of love in my hands
To last all season
Da da dup ba da da da
Ba ba dup ba la la la
Ba ba dup ba ba da da
Ba ba dup ba da da da
Ba ba dup ba ba da da
Ba ba dup ba da da da
Ba ba dup ba ba da da
Ba ba dup ba da da da

John Mayer - Waiting On The World To Change
Lyrics:
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now we keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change(x4)作者: Shennybenny 时间: 9.5.2008 22:08
