Why Georgia
"Why Georgia" is the third single released by John Mayer from his first album, ''Room for Squares''. As a B-side, the international version single featured the live version of "Why Georgia" as it appeared on Mayer's first live album, '' Any Given Thursday,'' as the single followed the live album's release. The international single was released only four and a half months prior to Mayer's second album, ''Heavier Things''. Lyrics The song is autobiographic, and touches on Mayer's experience of having a " quarterlife crisis", a phenomenon of 20-somethings. He moved to Atlanta with Clay Cook after dropping out of Berklee College of Music, and, though pursuing his dreams, had doubts if he would be successful or not. In one interview he said I remember getting into some pretty dismal places money-wise and opportunity-wise. I kind of looked at my guitar and said, 'It's just you and me. I'll go where you take me.'Small, Mark (2005)"John Mayer '98: Running with the Big Dogs"Berklee.edu. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Songs Written By John Mayer
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical compo ...

3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

"No Such Thing" is the debut single of American singer-songwriter John Mayer. It was released in February 2002 as the lead single from his first album, ''Room for Squares'' (2001). Like many of the songs from Mayer's early musical career, the song was co-written with Clay Cook. The song has been used in episode 15 of the first season of ''Alias'', also in episode 20 ("Obscura") of the first season of '' Smallville''. It was Mayer's breakthrough hit, peaking at number 13 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and becoming his highest-charting song until "Say" reached number 12 in 2007. Content Mayer and Cook wrote the song in about a week during 1998 in Duluth, Georgia. Sung from the path of a recent high school graduate, "No Such Thing"'s lyrical themes encourage the audience to forge their own path, and not to "stay inside the lines".
