Just wanna share with you the great song that I love, “Stop This Train” by my favorite artist, John Mayer.

Once I first listened to this song, I couldn’t stop listen to it on and on. It moved me much deep down inside. The lyrics are awesome (below here). Yes, I’ve known for a long time how a good songwriter John Mayer is. If I could be a songwriter, I would like to be able to write a song like him.

In twenty something like us (OK, some of  you are over thirty now though), we know how hard to live our life. That’s one thing in common amoung us.  Apart from gossiping about stars, friends or people passing by, during the dinner with best friends, we will end up at a conversation about our twenty-something crisis, our feeling, our life, our hope, our dream, our future, right? Listen to the lyrics of this song, John write it all hit right to our hearts in the poetic way but with the ordinary words and thoughtful. He speaks on behalf of us. Read or listen to it throughly and you will find that it’s the kind of thing or feeling that is so damn hard to write it in words!!! But John can. Gosh!! What a talented songwriter he is. I wanna have a chance to buy him beers and talk to him all night long, man!

And I love the melody as well, especially a few line of piano-like note in the middle of the song.

Stop This Train Lyrics
Artist(Band):John Mayer

No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You’ll renegotiate"

"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"

Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I will never stop this train

John Mayer
