John Mayer - Covered in rain (Original)

Apparently this song is about NYC - Post 9/11. It is a sequel to his song "City Love" - Pre 9/11. It gives a gloomy view of NYC after the incident and his relation with Lydia (from "City Love") ending .

John Mayer, please make more songs like this.

Amazing.

DVD: Any Given Thursday

LYRICS:

In these days with the world gettin colder
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I'd planned
Tonight we're gonna order in
Drinkin wine and watchin CNN
It's dark, I know
But then again, it's the brightest thing I've got

When I'm covered in rain, rain
When I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain

From fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stole what fall replaces
And now we're people watching
All the people, people watching us right back
Standing by the missing signs
At the CVS, by the checkout line
She puts her quiet hands in mine,
Cause she's the brightest thing I've got

When I'm covered in rain, rain
When I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
Oh, I'm covered in rain
Oh, I'm covered in rain
Oh, I'm covered in rain

And come December, Lydia left.
She mentioned something 'bout it being for the best,
And I can't say I disagree, and its killing me.
And now I'm standing facing west
Tracing my fingers round a silhouette
I haven't gotten used to yet,
But it's the brightest thing I've got

When I'm covered in rain

I still be listening this when i'm 80 years old.

[BelledelaGroove]

This guy sure knows how to literally melt panties off.

[gilsong2303]

This is one of those songs that you can listen to over and over and again and it's still as good as the first time. It's like a really good blow job for my ears.

[xxEmsy]

fucking hell, this is amazing.

Steve Jordan has white skin and hasn't hairs now ? WTFF

[HamletAndMacbeth]

I cried, because it's perfection.

[emcleod2192]

I'm mesmerized!! What a masterpiece of a song. Who wouldn't see the wonder in this man's talent and the great vibe he creates with his fellow musicians? Lucky , lucky people were at this concert that evening.

[DanieleJenna]

Its amazing to see the size of venues he used to play in and the size of them now. You can hear individual screams and see faces in this video!! Not the case anymore, it's one big blur of people and a hushing roar :)

[123drizzyd]

The part at 6:03 is just pure classic. John Mayer is a true talent.

[carolinafan126]

[volmaniac992]

at 2:45 he just summed up all the sorrow and pain love has brought into this world. Beautiful.
