And life is beautiful...

2nd March, 2010. Aa day I think I will remember forever. My first ever John Mayer concert. And I say that because I have promised myself to go to many many more. Everything about that concert was perfect.

I have come to the conclusion that John Clayton Mayor is epic. I thought he was fantastic earlier but now, epic would be a better word. Sure, the world is not very happy with him right now and true, he has said some pretty horrible and stupid things. Here is my deal though. While it's not an excuse, it's just a thought. Maybe, just maybe, if we stopped asking people stupid questions - they won't give us stupid answers. stop worrying about their love lives, sex lives and all other lives but their professional lives!

He also had some brilliantly funny things to say at the concert - he acknowledged various sign boards that were in the front row. He said he chose to acknowledge them because then people would know he has seen them, loved them, now they wouldn't have to worry about holding them up and they, and people around them could have clear view.
He also spoke about forgiveness and how people constantly want to eventually go to the top - but when they shoot straight to the top, they get side tracked and weird-ed out...and something has to keep them grounded...a PERFECT way to bring in the song 'Gravity'. And that my friends, wasn't just a song that he was playing - it was an experience. 20,000 people swaying and singing along, John with only one of the THE MOST fantastic guitar solo...and the lights and the words. Yes, an experience. That's what that song was.

He played 3 of the 4 songs I would have loved for him to play...
Edge of desire - I cried. I don't know why. Maybe because I love that song. It's hard for people to have a favorite song, but I do, and it's this one. And just hearing it live, with his variations, his phenomenal guitar, the red and white lights...it was all slightly overwhelming.
In your Atmosphere - I really wasn't expecting this one. I don't think I screamed so much in my life. I was the best surprise! I remember trying to learn this one in guitar class. And how hard it was. And how I was on the verge of screaming out loud in class because it was SO HARD. And then there he was. Just him and his acoustic. Playing it like it was the easiest song in this world. And how beautiful it was!
Free falling - EFFIN AYE! I was just telling my sister - how it is just usually him and 2 guitars. And then he plays it. And it sounds even better than I had ever heard it. And I thought it was impossible.

Assassin - was...again, indescribably amazing. I loved the song before, but I really love it now.

There is so much about this concert that I can't describe. His little changes to all the songs, his phenomenal guitar solo's everything. I remember a time when life was shit and i had to keep telling myself that everything was happening for the best. And then I bought the John Mayer tickets and now matter what happened, I told myself, I had one great thing to look forward to. And it was great. And I know I am sounding like an emotional, rambling bowl of fruits - but I will say this, if you have never been to a John Mayer concert, go to one. Even if you don't listen to his music. It really changes your life - or at least the music part of it.

Life is good people. It always is. :)
