今日歌单:Gravity - John Mayer
Carry On - Norah Jones
Isn’t It Wonderful - Ray Charles
Hey there, this is Green. You’re listening to my music special — Midnight Blues.
It’s Gravity by John Mayer.
Singer, songwriter and guitarist John Mayer’s soft rock earned him a number of Grammy Awards, paving the way for similar success in a blues-based vein.
The song you are listening to is recorded in his third album Continuum. Mayer’s frustrations with the things he cannot control — love, war, aging — are all over 2006’s Continuum. On “Gravity,” he fears an eventual downfall. Song after song, Mayer feels every aspect of his life slip between his fingers. He “dreams of ways to throw it all away ” and yelling for “keeping me where the light is”.
Now Norah Jones, Carry On.
Norah Jones is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actress. She rose to international stardom with her debut album Come Away with Me (2002).
Carry On actually belongs to Jazz, but I still put is in here cause it’s suitable for the night. It is the first single of her sixth solo album Day Breaks. The album seems to reflect the singer’s personal and professional comfort that she doesn’t need to adhere to industry pressures to remain relevant. And this gentle piano song finds her singing about leaving past memories of a relationship behind and moving on.
Here comes the last one for today, Isn’t It Wonderful, by Ray Charles.
Ray Charles was a legendary musician often called the Genius, who pioneered the genre of soul music during the 1950s. Often called the “Father of Soul,” Charles combined blues, gospel and jazz to create groundbreaking hits such as “Unchain My Heart,” “Hit the Road Jack” and “Georgia on My Mind.”
Listen. “Isn’t it wonderful, Just bein&`& in here together”
And Isn&`&t it wonderful to enjoy the songs together?
This Green, see you next time. Good night.
