function

it`s raining now, and has been since morning. it`s dark outside, and i can see the rain reflecting off of the curves and valleys in the road when headlights land. you want to know the perfect rainy day setting? well one at least... in a quiet apartment, slightly dark, because of the overcast sky, the rooms illuminated just by the available natural light. or walking down the street, sheltered by a big purple umbrella, hearing the raindrops plink and plunk off in rapid succession. perfect rainy day song? Sparks by Coldplay, or the acoustic version of Something`s Missing by John Mayer... you can`t beat moments like these.

i think the acoustic guitar is one of my favourite instruments... there is just something about the timbres of that instrument that create atmosphere... and JM can evoke the passion/moody/introspective like no other, a dangerous combination: acoustic prowess, smoky voice and lyrics to lose yourself in... go here. so good.


john mayer | something`s missing

I'm not alone

I wish I was
Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pain
And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

When autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

I can't be sure that this state of mine is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness like this

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No, I don't know what it is
Somethin's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
