Music To My Ears...

I always love blabbing on about music. I've been listening to so many different and great stuff lately too, so I thought I would make a post where I blab on...

I have pretty much been dying to go to a concert. I haven't been to one since Rocklahoma last year, if you can believe that! I actually had tickets to see John Mayer in Thackerville, Oklahoma back in March. I had GREAT seats and was oh-so excited, but then the worst thing happened: The concert got cancelled. Apparently, John Mayer has had a lot of throat issues and he isn't suppose to perform. Poor John! Not to be all whiny, but it was so Déjà Vu of when I had tickets to see Ozzy. I had great seats once again to an even greater show and was snowed in from one of the biggest blizzards Oklahoma had had in a long time. Maybe I'm just not meant to see Ozzy & John Mayer live in concert? 

Speaking of John Mayer, have you all heard his new song Shadow Days? If you haven't, you must do so ASAP! I'm still needing to buy his new album, Born & Raised. I've heard that it's suppose to be some of his best work yet! 


I'm looking forward to the weekend because I'm going to Rocklahoma! This year has a pretty good lineup---Rob Zombie (I'm looking most forward to seeing him!), Slash, Theory of a Deadman, Megadeth, & Chickenfoot, to just name a few. It's going to an awesome weekend!

"I know a girl, she puts the color inside of my world..."

Song: Daughters

Artist: John Mayer

Album: Heavier Things



One of my FAVORITE songs from John Mayer would have to be Daughters. It's one of the most beautiful songs instrumentally and lyrically. By the way, is "instrumentally" and "lyrically" real words or just something I made up?

I'm sure Daughters has a lot of different meanings to people. But to me, it's about a guy who falls in love with a girl that is somewhat complicated, closed off, guarded. He thinks the problem is him, then he realizes that maybe it has nothing to do with him. Maybe it has to do with the fact that her Dad wasn't good to her...or maybe it was her Mom...or MAYBE, just maybe, she had a really nasty boyfriends who didn't treat her well. This said girl let them shape her into the person she is today. So, like I said earlier, it didn't have anything to do with him!

Not sure if that's what everyone got off of it, but that's what I did!

Now, before I go, I'll leave you with lyrics to Daughters...

*****

I know a girl

She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
