    • @rickytizzle123
      @rickytizzle123 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Jaradipra - Clapton got the nickname “Slowhand” from the fact that back before light guitar strings existed, he used to use a banjo string for the high E to create a lighter set that allowed for easier bending, this often resulted in snapped strings due to banjo strings not being made for bending and he would get a “slow hand clap” or “golf clap” from the audience.

    I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: John Mayer is by far one of the best sounding live musicians on the planet. Everything about him live just makes it superior to the studio version. I’d pay an unholy amount of money to go back in time and see this concert

    Me and all my friends
    We're all misunderstood
    They say we stand for nothing, and
    There's no way we ever could
    Now we see everything that's 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 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
    That's why 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 fight ain't fair
    So we keep on waiting (waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    And 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
    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

It's great to know that in a time that so many talentless artists become famous for all the wrong reason John Mayer has true music with emotion. Nobody can deny what a great musician he is, irrelevant how he acts in real life. Isn't that what it's all about? The music, John Mayer I thank you.

    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
    That's why 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 fight ain't fair
    So we keep on waiting (waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    And 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
    No 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.

    One, two
    One, two, three
    Me and all my friends
    We're all misunderstood
    They say we stand for nothing and
    There's no way we ever could
    Now we see everything that's 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 waiting (waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    We keep on waiting (waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    It's hard to beat the system
    When we're standing at a distance
    So we keep waiting on (waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    Now if we had the power
    To bring our neighbors home from war
    They woulda never missed a Christmas
    No more ribbons on their door

    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
    Now I keep on waiting (waiting)
    Waiting on the world to change
    We keep on waiting (waiting)
    We're waiting on the world to change
    Waiting on the world to change
    Waiting on the world to change

    I think he is definitely UNDER-RATED! Think he's 1 of the best guitarist of this generation, a lot of people don't realize how good he actually is. And it's amazing how true & relatable this song is over a decade later. 1of my favorites by John.

    It's taken me long, but through my ap literature class I believe I've just realized that his repetition of "waiting" implies that we will always be waiting for things to change; however, they never will.... strangely hopeful to feel that hopelessness :) fantastic musician
