John Mayer - In the blood

   Ha ido saliendo a plazos. 'The search for everything wave one and wave two'. Dos oleadas de cuatro canciones cada una y ahora el tsunami final de doce. Una verdadera gozada, tanto por la música como por las letras.

 

   Hay mucho de John Mayer y de sus circunstancias. También de sus influencias. Por ejemplo, Eric Clapton en 'Helpless'. La canción que despide el disco -'You're gonna live forever in me'- comienza con un silbido marca de Bing Crosby y una melodía a lo Desperado de Eagles y luego recuerda a Billy Joel. Un disco para paladear despacio. Te dejo que descubras el resto. Yo, para empezar, te pongo 'In the blood' (En la sangre).

    

   

  

How much of my mother has my mother left in me?

How much of my love will be insane to some degree?

And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

How much of my father am I destined to become?

Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone?

Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

Chorus

I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna calm the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be?

Does a broken home become another broken family?

Or we will be there for each other, like nobody ever could?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

Chorus

I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna calm the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
