John Mayer --Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

独孤飘零

John Mayer说：“我不想只是个最顶尖的吉他手，因为那充其量不过就是模仿别人，然后看看谁弹《Sky Is Crying》弹得最好。我希望有人喜欢我的歌，然后弹出跟别人不一样的味道。John John Mayer非常注重培养自己的创作能力。虽然吉他的技巧高超，但他不炫耀，力求写出有漂亮音符的歌曲。他十九岁就读百克里学院，但几个月后就发现自己喜欢玩音乐而不是研究音乐。他笑着说：“那段学习经验很棒，至于上课就再说了。”亚特兰大的朋友劝他到南方看看,不久他就成了像艾迪阁楼这种亚特兰大流行歌曲作者聚会地点的常客。

1999年他出了张EP《Inside Wants Out》，专辑里大部分的歌曲都是他个人独唱，也收录几首由乐队伴奏的歌曲。这张唱片将他充满活力、执着认真的声音表现的淋漓尽致。当地的媒体很快就发现了John Mayer，并且极力赞扬他的表现。《Atlanta City Search》曾经这样报导过：“这位年轻人知道怎样用他那六根琴弦和诚实的歌词捕捉所有乐迷的心。”

在John Mayer身上我们可以发现巨星的特质：技巧成熟，令人印象深刻的吉他弹奏产生平易近人的大众摇滚音乐，非常上镜头，魅力横扫南方地区。John Mayer对歌曲创作的热情非常明显强烈，他说：背着吉他站在麦克风前，脑海中自然而然就会浮现出旋律，一下子就会有几千几百首歌曲跑出来，我爱这种感觉!生命里最棒的一刻，就是终于完成一首歌的那个夜晚

2000年三月.John Mayer到德州奥斯汀参加知名的South by Southwest之后便有许多音乐公司找他合作,他最后选择了哥伦比亚唱片公司.那年秋天他开始录制专辑《Room For Squares》,制作人是John Alagia.最新专辑《Room For Squares》中完全是真材实料的乐器演奏,还邀请了常和他现场表演的贝斯手David LaBruyere和鼓手Nir Zidkiyahu(来自Genesis).John Mayer非常兴奋，因为他终于得以和乐团一起合作，灌录唱片.John Mayer说“只因为我一直没和乐团合作，大家就一直把我定位成不插电的民谣吉他手，实际上我是宁缺勿滥。上张专辑《Inside Wants Out》发行时,很多人都不太了解我真正想表达的是什么，我想大家听了这张就能体会,我想这张专辑已经达到了相当的水准



It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of this

love we've been workin on
Can't seem to hold
you like I want to
so I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
we pulled too many false alarms
We're goin down and you can see it too
We're goin down and you know that we're doomed
my dear we're slow dancing in a burnin room
I was the one you always
dreamed of you were the one i tried to draw
how dare you say it's nothin to me
baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I make the most of all the sadness
you'll be a bitch because you can
you try to hit me just hurt me
so you leave me feelin dirty cuz you can't understand
We're goin down and you can see it too
We're goin down and you know that we're doomed
my dear we're slow dancing in a burnin room
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
my dear, we're slow dancin in a burnin room
burnin room, burnin room
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we oughta know by now
don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
don't you think we oughta know by now
