But fate had other plans for me, and the universe conspired to get me not 1, but 2 tickets (1 in General Admission, and 1 in the Gold section). :) In short, the universe really was pushing for me to be in that concert. Who was I to deny its plans? :)
The concert was 4 months ago (so this blog entry is a teeny-tiny bit late. Haha), but it was one of the more memorable concerts I have attended in my lifetime, so it warrants a blog entry, no matter how delayed.
It was raining for half of the concert, but no amount of rain could dampen the John Mayer fever at MOA. Out came the umbrellas and raincoats, but his voice still rang out despite these "distractions." Aaaah his voice is a KILLER. I was mesmerized for most of the concert, as he played crowd-pleasers (mostly from my favorite album, Continuum), as well as his most recent hits from Battle Studies.
John Mayer Manila concert setlist:
- Vultures (Continuum)
- No Such Thing (Room for Squares)
- Perfectly Lonely (Battle Studies)
- Slow Dancing In A Burning Room (Continuum)
- Waiting On the World to Change (Continuum)
- Stop This Train (Continuum)
- Your Body Is A Wonderland (Room for Squares)
- Who Says (Battle Studies)
- Heartbreak Warfare (Battle Studies)
- Gravity (Continuum)
- Do You Know Me (Continuum)
- Why Georgia (Room for Squares)
- Half of My Heart (Battle Studies)
- Edge of Desire (Battle Studies)
It was raining really hard for half of the concert, but it was still one helluva musical experience.
John Mayer = sexaaaay. :)
He ended with one of my absolute favorite songs from Battle Studies: Edge of Desire. I swear, just hearing the opening chords of this song gives me the shivers. ;) The lyrics, the melody, his voice...it achieves everything the song is about: setting the listener on fire. John Mayer is a genius. "Steady my breathing, silently screaming 'I have to have you now.'" Crap. I am in love; I am in trouble. Every time I hear this song, I think: Have.to.make.John.Mayer.MINE.ALL.MINE! :))
*sigh* See what I mean? Even if this concert was 4 months ago, just listening to his songs on my iPod brings be back to that exact same spot at the MOA Concert Grounds, and I am on a John Mayer high. It was an epic concert by an epic musician, and I am not going to forget about it anytime soon.

Half of My Heart
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
Showing me another way and all that my love can bring
oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh, with half of my heart
with half of my heart
your faith is strong
but I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
but I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you [x3]
but I can't stop loving you with half of my...
half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart's got a real good imagination
half of my heart's got you
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that half of my heart won't do
half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything
half of my heart [x6]
