Continuum

Finally,ive gotten my hands on some(Maybe even all the songs)on John Mayer's new album,Continuum.It's not exactly the studio version,but recorded from a live show he did in April at Hotel Cafe.Unlike normal live recordings,this one has superb quality,with only John himself and Pino Palladino at the bass,one of those very intimate concerts,and im just GLAD that i finally got to hear the songs.

I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)
Waiting on the World To Change
Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

Vultures
Dreaming With A Broken Heart
Stop This Train

Good Love is on the Way
In Repair
The Heart Of Life
I'm Gonna Find Another You

Gravity

The bolded songs are the new songs,while the others we've heard it on the Try! album.After listening to the songs,my personaly favourites are Waiting on the World to Change,Slow Dancing in a Burning Room,Dreaming With a Broken Heart...okay,almost every one of his new songs anyway.It's a pity that he didnt play "The Hurt" though,but what the hell...everything else is still great.

Lyrically John has surpasses himself once again.I mean,check out these stuff:

"When you're dreamin with a broken heart
The wakin is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breath

Wondering was she really here
Is she standin in my room
No she's not, cause she's
Gone gone gone gone gone..."

--- "Dreaming With a Broken Heart"


"It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want..."

--- "Waiting on the World to Change"


"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 wont all go the way
It should
But I know the heart of life is good..."

--- "The Heart of Life"


John,you bloody talented mofo.Get your album out,damn it.
