John Mayer可能是一个大家不太熟悉的名字,但是作为一个得过7个格莱美的流行歌手,John Mayer有着及其稳定的吉他演奏技术,早年就以在酒吧演奏布鲁斯小有名气。《Vultures》收录于专辑《Continuum》中,今天为大家带来的是John在2008年“where the light is”洛杉矶演唱会上的现场版本。而“vultures”这个单词本身有“秃鹫;贪婪的人;掠夺者”的意思。或许歌曲轻快的律动和它要表达的实际意义略有出入吧。
John Mayer,a name may be unfamiliar to you .But as a pop singer gets 7 grammy awards in his pocket,the guitar technique of John Mayer is outstanding and his name has already been bulit during the early time playing blues in urban club.The song "Vultures" is included in the album "Continnum",and today we present you with a live version from the 2008 "where the light is" concert ,hope the lyrics and the rhythem will give you a great time.
John Mayer:Vultures
Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under
我们中,极少有人能撑到这里
剩下的人,生而注定销声匿迹
我要怎样才能
停止当个无名小卒
我要怎样才能
昂起头颅不再沉沦
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me
直到最后关头
我想要如鱼得水
但却选择勇闯火海
如果这些代价
会使我更加斗志高昂
于是我定能凯旋而归
这才像我一贯的作风
当这个世界无休止地
考验我,考验我,考验我
How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before
他们是如何在此找到我的
他们想从我身上得到什么
躲在我的门外的
尽是这些贪心鬼
我听见他们窃窃私语
他们要硬闯这一关
因为他们不曾耗时这么久
而没有经历任何杀戮
