The Heart Of Life

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's 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 won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing 1
But, then your circle of friends
Will defend the silver lining 2

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't 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 who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good


在去年发行了一张现场专辑之后,John Mayer终于交出了他个人三年来的首张录音室专辑《Continuum》。在发行首周,《Continuum》以30万张的单周销量获得了本周Billboard 200专辑榜的亚军。Mayer的上张录音室专辑是2003年的《Heavier Things》,曾获得当年Billboard 200专辑榜冠军,发行首周的销量达到31万7千张。

在2003年的专辑《Heavier Things》之后,他不断的在一些Blues,Jazz大师级音乐人的专辑中出现,这其中包括布鲁斯吉他大师巴迪·盖(Buddy Guy),B.B. King和爵士融合钢琴大师赫尔比·汉考克(Herbie Hancock)。当然John Mayer在这些传奇音乐人的专辑中不只是仅仅助阵演唱那么简单,他还亲自演奏了吉他,与这些前辈音乐家切磋技艺,这对于John Mayer这一代的音乐人是十分难得的。


  从一出道,才华横溢的John Mayer就被很多行家看好。但直到这张《Continuum》的面世,我们才真正感受到这位音乐才子的成熟。总的来说,《Continuum》是一张吉他出色,充满灵性而又非常悦耳的专辑。而无论是这张专辑的曲风,还是John Mayer的唱腔都能体现出他受Blues,Jazz和老式R&B音乐的影响都是非常重的。开场曲《Waiting On The World To Change》,民谣曲风的《The Heart Of Life》,慢版流行布鲁斯小调《Slow Dancing In A Burning Room》都是十分动听的曲目。其中,《Slow Dancing In A Burning Room》中的吉他演奏简直与这首歌曲的名字一样煽情。通过钢琴伴奏的《Dreaming With A Broken Heart》以及略带Jazz曲风的结束曲《I'm Gonna Find Another You》,很多以前不是John Mayer歌迷的听众或许都会被他所打动。此外,《Bold As Love》是John Mayer翻弹吉他巫师吉米·亨德里克斯(Jimi Hendrix)的名曲。虽然Mayer的版本在很多人心目中远不能同原版相比,但年轻一代的音乐人敢于尝试这种类型的曲子本身就是值得鼓励的,何况,John Mayer的演绎本身也是相当棒的
