Today, let me introduce you to John Mayer…
Hello Folk’s,
John Mayer est un chanteur-guitariste-producteur Américain (Connecticut, au Nord de NYC), fan du regretté ‘guitariste star’ Stevie Ray Vaughan (et du fameux modèle Stratocaster, évidemment), il explore vaillamment tous les styles depuis le blues jusqu’à la pop, en passant par la country.
Quasiment inconnu en Europe, il n’en est pas moins un talentueux compositeur de pépites inouïes comme ce très touchant ‘Daughters’… une chanson sur l’importance d’être des parents à la hauteur… et dont voici les paroles :
Daughters
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But, she’s just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I’ve done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I’m starting to see
Maybe It’s got nothing to do with me
She puts the color inside of my world
But, she’s just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I’ve done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I’m starting to see
Maybe It’s got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
Oh, you see that skin?
It’s the same she’s been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she’s left cleaning up the mess he made
It’s the same she’s been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she’s left cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
Boys, you can break
You’ll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman’s good, good heart
You’ll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman’s good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and weight of her world
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too…
