존 메이어 (John Mayer) [Where The Light Is:John Mayer Live In Los Angeles] (2CD)
솔로 어쿠스틱, 블루스 트리오, 밴드 세트로 구성된 총 22곡의 히트곡 및 미발매곡, 커버곡 등 수록! 2008년 7월 1일 전세계 동시 발매
[Where The Light Is]는 존 메이어가 다양한 연주자들과 함께 미국 캘리포니아, 로스 엔젤레스의 대공연장 노키아 극장(Nokia Theatre LA)에서 2007년 12월 8일 가졌던 공연의 기록이다. 그리고 본격 메이저 활동을 시작한 이래, 지난 8년간 하고 싶었고 할 수 있었고 했던 이력을 모두 함께 담았다. 솔로 어쿠스틱, 밴드, 블루스 트리오를 두루 섭렵해왔던 모든 순간을 종합해, 그는 지난해 노래했고 멀티의 형태로 기록했다. 그리고 발표해왔던 많은 노래들을 비롯해 톰 페티에서 지미 핸드릭스에 이르기까지 그가 흠모해왔던 선배들의 음악을, 존경과 자주를 담아 해석했다는 점도 특징이다. 영상에 담기고 음원으로 기록된 당일 공연의 구성은 세 개의 테마로 이루어졌다. 첫째는 히트곡 ’Neon’으로 시작하는 솔로 어쿠스틱 파트다. 홀로 연주를 시작해 듀오 기타(두 번째 앨범 [Heavier Things](2003)의 세 번째 싱글 ’Daughters’)에 이어 트리오 기타(톰 페티의 ’Free Falling’)로 마무리된 어쿠스틱 세션은 숨을 멎게 만드는 청중의 아름다운 고요 속에서 다섯 곡을 진행했다. 둘째는, 베테랑 연주자 둘(드러머 스티브 조단과 베이시스트 피노 팔라디노), 그리고 기타와 보컬을 맡은 존 메이어로 구성된 ‘존 메이어 트리오’의 환상의 호흡으로, 그리고 당일 공연의 마지막은 많은 연주자들을 동원, 밴드로 노래했던 그의 결정적 순간들을 요약했다. 22곡으로 구성된 2CD의 알찬 구성은 최상의 곡 리스트를 자랑하고 있는데, "Waiting On The World To Change", "Daughters", "Why Georgia" 등 존 메이어의 최대 히트곡들과 "Free Fallen’", "Bold As Love", "I Don’t Need No Doctor"와 같이 새로운 해석을 가미한 커버곡들, 그리고 주옥 같은 미발매곡 "In Your Atmosphere" 가 빼곡히 수록되어 있다. .... ....
When sky blue gets dark enough To see the colors of the city lights A trail of ruby red and diamond white Hits her like a sunrise She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can
Tonight shes out to lose herself And find a high on Peachtree Street From mixed drinks to techno beats its always Heavy into everything She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows Shes slipping through my hands Shes always buzzing just like Neon neon Neon neon Who knows how long how long how long She can go before she burns away I cant be her angel now You know its not my place to hold her down And its hard for me to take a stand When I would take her anyway I can She comes and she goes Like no one can She comes and she goes Shes slipping through my hands Shes always buzzing just like Neon neon Neon neon Who knows how long how long how long She can go before she burns she burns away she burns
She comes and she goes Like no one can She comes and she goes Shes slipping through my hands Shes always buzzing just like Neon neon Neon neon Who knows how long how long how long She can go before she burns away
No, Im not colorblind I know the world is black and white Try to keep an open mind But I just cant sleep on this tonight Stop this train I wanna get off And go home again I cant take the speed its moving in I know I cant But honestly, wont someone stop this train? Dont know how else to say it Dont want to see my parents go One generations length away From fighting life out on my own Stop this train I wanna get off And go home again I cant take the speed its moving in I know I cant But honestly, wont someone stop this train? So scared of getting older Im only good at being young So I play the numbers game To find a way to say that life has just begun Had a talk with my old man Said "help me understand" He said "turn sixty-eight You renegotiate" "Dont stop this train Dont for a minute change the place youre in And dont think I couldnt ever understand I tried my hand John, honestly well never stop this train" Once in awhile, when its good Itll feel like it should And theyre all still around And youre still safe and sound And you dont miss a thing Till you cry when youre driving away in the dark Singing Stop this train I wanna get off And go home again I cant take the speed its moving in I know I can Cause now I see Ill never stop this train

Some of us, Were hardly ever here The rest of us, were born to disappear How do I stop myself from Being just a number How will I hold my head To keep from going under Down to the wire I wanted water but Ill walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then Ill come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me,testing me How did they find me here What do they want from me All of these vultures hiding Right outside my door I hear them whisperin Theyre tryin to ride it out Theyve never gone this long Without a kill before Down to the wire I wanted water but Ill walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then Ill come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me, testing me Wheels up I got to leave this evening Cant seem to shake these vultures Off of my trail Power is made, by power being taken So I keep on running To protect my situation Down to the wire I wanted water but Ill walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then Ill come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Whatcha gonna do about it Whatcha gonna do about it Whatcha gonna do about it Dont give up give up Dont give up give up give up Dont give up give up Dont give up give up give up
Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armour Queen jealousy envy waits behind him Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground Blue are the life giving waters taken for granted They quietly understand Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready But wonder why the fight is on But they're all bold as love yes they're all bold as love Yeah they're all bold as love Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and Ribbons of euphoria Orange is young full of daring But very unsteady for the first go round My yellow in this case is not so mellow In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from eh Giving my life to a rainbow like you But I'm bold I'm bold as love I'm bold bold as love I'm bold as love Just ask the axis
I'm bold bold as love I'm bold as love I'm bold bold as love
Me and all my friends We're all misunderstood They say we stand for nothing There's no way we ever could Now we see everything is 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 on waiting waiting Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting waiting Waiting on the world to change It's hard to be persistent When we're standing at a distance So we keep on waiting waiting Waiting on the world to change Now if we had the power To bring our neighbors home from war They would've never missed a Christmas No more ribbons on the door When you trust your television What you get is what you got Cuz when they own the information They can bend it all they want So while 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 party's there So we keep on waiting waiting Waiting on the world to change
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 Know we keep on waiting waiting Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting waiting Waiting on the world to change Waiting on the world to change Waiting on the world to change Waiting on the world to change
Its not a silly little moment Its not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dyin breath of This love weve been workin on Cant seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobodys gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms Were goin down And you can see it too Were goin down And you know that were doomed My dear Were 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 its nothing to me Baby, youre the only light I ever saw Ill make the most of all the sadness Youll be a bitch because you can You try to hit me just hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Because you cant understand Were goin down And you can see it too Were goin down And you know that were doomed My dear Were slow dancing in a burnin room Go cry about it why dont you Go cry about it why dont you Go cry about it why dont you My dear, were slow dancin in a burnin room, Burninl room, burnin room Dont you think we oughta know by now Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow Dont you think we oughta know by now Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow Dont you think we oughta know by now Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow Dont you think we shoulda learned somehow
I am driving up 85 in the kind of morning that Lasts all afternoon I'm just stuck inside the gloom Four more exits to my apartment but I am tempted to Keep the car in drive And leave it all behind Cuz I wonder sometimes About the outcome Of a still verdictless life Am I living it right Am I living it right Am I living it right Why why georgia why
I rent a room and I Fill the spaces with Wood in places to Make it feel like home But all I feel's alone It might be a quarter life crisis Or just the stirring in my soul Either way I wonder sometimes About the outcome Of a still verdictless life Am I living it right Am I living it right Am I living it right Why why georgia why So what so I've got a smile on But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head Don't believe me When I say I say I've got it down
Everybody is just a stranger but That's the danger in going my own way I guess its the price I have to pay Everyday Still Everything happens for a reason is no reason not to ask myself Am I living it right Am I living it right Am I living it right Why tell me why tell me why Why georgia why
I hate to see you cry Lying there in that position Theres things you need to hear So turn off your tears And listen Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it wont all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good You know, its nothing new Bad news never had good timing But, then your circle of friends Will defend the silver lining Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it wont all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around Fear is a friend whos misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good I know its good
I don't need no doctor Cause I know whats ailing me I don't need no doctor Cause I know whats ailing me I've been too long away from my baby yeah I'm coming down with a misery I don't need no doctor for my prescription to be filled I don't need no doctor I don't need no doctor Don't need no doctor for my prescription to be filled Only my babys arms could ever Could ever take away this chill Now the doctor say I need rest Before I need her tenderness Put me on the critical list When all I need is her sweet kiss Gave me a medicated lotion But it didn't soothe my emotion
I don't need no doctor For my hope to live is gone I don't need no doctor I don't need no doctor I don't need no doctor For my hope to live is gone All I need is my baby please Would you please just come on home come on home

Is there anyone who Ever remembers changing there mind from The paint on a sign? Is there anyone who really recalls Ever breaking rank at all For something someone yelled real loud one time Everyone believes In how they think it ought to be Everyone believes And theyre not going easily Belief is a beautiful armor But makes for the heaviest sword Like punching under water You never can hit who youre trying for Some need the exhibition And some have to know they tried Its the chemical weapon For the war thats raging on inside Everyone believes From emptiness to everything Everyone believes And no ones going quietly Were never gonna win the world Were never gonna stop the war Were never gonna beat this If belief is what were fighting for What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand Belief can Belief can What puts the folded flag inside his mothers hand Belief can Belief can
