New Deep

John Mayer -- New Deep

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address?
And look at the stars
Don't it remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
'This won't last longer than the rest of the day'
But you're wrong this time

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out
Deep will only bring you down
You know, I used to be the back porch poet with a book of rhymes
Always open knowing all the time I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'

在John Mayer身上我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)巨星的特質(zhì)：技巧成熟，令人印象深刻的吉他彈奏產(chǎn)生平易近人的大眾搖滾音樂，非常上鏡頭，魅力橫掃南方地區(qū)。John Mayer對歌曲創(chuàng)作的熱情非常明顯強(qiáng)烈，他說：“背著吉他站在麥克風(fēng)前，腦海中自然而然就會浮現(xiàn)出旋律，一下子就會有幾千幾百首歌曲跑出來，我愛這種感覺!生命里最棒的一刻，就是終于完成一首歌的那個夜晚。”

John Mayer是康乃狄克州人。從小聽電臺的流行樂長大。十三歲的時候鄰居送給他一盤Stevie Ray Vaughan)的錄音帶，這是他第一次接觸藍(lán)調(diào)音樂。自此John Mayer開始學(xué)習(xí)吉他。不過兩年，他開始登臺演出，并且一鳴驚人。但是他很快就了解到，這不是他真正想要的。
