I swear to God I’ll play the whole song on this. Listen, I don’t think there’s ever been a moment that I’ve been so proud of who I am and where I have come from, and the life that you all have made for me, and I have made for me then right. this. minute. I promise you. And I want to tell you something. Here’s why I’m lucky. I, I get to look back on my life. And sure, I get to look at the moments that are hard. They’re all hard moments. Certain ones are harder than others. I look back at like, freaking out all alone on my own. I look back and I go look, I just sold EVERYTHING. I just put everything on one number on roulette. And in fact, I would go so far as to say, odds wise, the odds of putting all of your money, like selling your house and all of your belongings, and telling your wife and kids you’re going to go live in a super 8 and putting all of your money on 23 on one spin of roulette, is actually better odds than telling everyone in your life that you’re going to go away and you’re going to be a singer/songwriter/guitar player, and you’re going to make it happen. It is one of the most rare, absolutely rare things in the world. But because of music, and because of the songs that I have written that have cast the ultimate both like, rainbow, and shield, it’s a rainbow shield, music is a rainbow shield. It’s a rainbow that bullets bounce off of. I look back, I have the blessing, I have the pleasure, I have the honor of looking back on every moment of my life and I can say, yeah, I’m going to look back on the hard times, but every single one of those times, hard or easy, are good times. I got music to show me how good the beginning of my life was, the beginning of my adult life was. And I hope, I swear to God, I hope that these songs, when you hear the ones that you were listening to whether you were in college or in high school or your first job, or you were living in Kansas, whatever, that you go back to that point, when you look back like 8 years ago when you were a little younger, a little dumber, but you had a little more fun because you didn’t have as many rules on yourself, and this is what I’m singing to myself….When I say I am driving 85 and kind of morning lasts all afternoon, I’m just stuck inside the gloom. — John Mayer before “Why Georgia” 6th December 2008, Nokia Theatre

Are you happy to be alive and young? Are you happy to be alive, well, healthy and young? You know what I’m saying? Do you know what I’m saying? Are you enjoying your turn? Are you enjoying your turn in life to be young and spirited and move anywhere you want to move, and go anywhere you want to go, and think anything you want to think, and say anything you want to say, and sleep anywhere you want to sleep…and be happy and young? — [ John Mayer .

John Mayer - I’m On Fire/Where Will I Be

This is my favourite live John Mayer song that isn’t recorded…. in fact, i might be my favourite Live song out of all the live songs he has. I think that he plays the guitar in such an amazing beautiful way and its like going to a therapy session.. it instantly chills me out and i forget everything as soon as the song starts. I also love the part right as he goes from I’m On Fire to Where Will I Be.

I can’t even describe properly how much i love this song. It genuinely is the best thing in the world. I think its incredible how he can instantly make someone forget all their problems just by doing what he does.

For some songs more than others, watching John play it through completely changes my emotional attachment to it. Hummingbird sure hits a little differently now than with those first few listens of the studio track early last summer. This version is from Nokia Theatre in December of 2008. Album art credit (via). If an acoustic anthology is in the works, I hope the one from SPAC makes the cut. Of course hearing it on the upcoming tour would be a sweet surprise as well.

Continuum: The Wonder of John Mayer Land - Best Life March 2008 article

adoctorbutwho:

When John Mayer finds a wife, he’ll finally be able to take it easy.

Lots of things will change. For one, the gossip-hound paparazzi knuckleheads won’t bother him as much as they do now. Just recently, this is what happened: He was leaving a New York City restaurant, his then-girlfriend and…

He likes Indian food too?
