This is the most important song I've ever written, it's a time capsule song. I will listen to it every day of my life if I need to. It's honest to God the most important song I've ever written in my life, and it has the fewest words. I was in LA, and I was there for the summer, just writing tunes, and I was in the shower. And I don't know where it came from, but it's the damn truth you know, and I just sang, "gravity...is working against me"... This is a song about making sure you still love yourself, making sure you still have your head on, making sure you still say no the way your mom would say no. And I will need it every damn day of my life because it's easier to mess up than it is to stay here. 「ウィキペディア (Wikipedia): フリー百科事典」Gravity (John Mayer song),Which was last edited on 15 June 2022, at 10:55 (UTC).
(概要)この曲は、今まで書いた詩の中でもっとも重要なもの。タイムカプセルのように、必要なら毎日でも聴くだろう。本当に、今まで作ってきた曲の中で、最も重要な曲。そして、最も少ないワード数で書かれている。あの夏、ロスにいて、まず旋律を書いて、シャワーを浴びた。すると、どうやって浮かんできたかわからないが、自然に口ずさんでいた「gravity...is working against me」と。
Woah, woah Gravity, stay the hell away from me Woah, woah Gravity has taken better men than me Now, how can that be? 誘惑よ、僕から離れてくれ。 僕より優れた人物だって、誘惑に負けることがある。(いったい、どうしてそんなことに?)
Just keep me where the light is. Just keep me where the light is. Just keep me where the light is.
今のままでいい。健全な場所にとどまり続けるんだ。
Come on, keep me where the light is. Come on, keep me where the light is. Come on, keep me where, now, keep me where the light is さあ、欲望に負けず、健全な場所にとどまり続けるんだ。
