John Mayer – Waiting on the World to Change ( Live in L.A )

“Waiting on the World to Change” is the first single released from John Mayer’s 2006 studio album, Continuum. The song enjoyed commercial success as a single and won the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 49th Grammy Awards. Because of its theme of discontent and hope, it quickly came into demand in a variety of television programs, charity benefits, and other events.

“Waiting on the World to Change” contains a highly popular chord progression often found in blues, rock and soul songs, such as The Impressions’s “People Get Ready” and Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”. The chord progression is I – vi – IV – I – V – vi – IV – I, and in the case of “Waiting on the World to Change”, it is in the key of D.[citation needed] Another interesting fact is the accenting of the beats in the verses. Contrary to most popular music, the second snare backbeat of the second measure of the two-bar beat that repeats through most of the song features an accent on the “and” of “4”, and not directly on “4.”

The song’s theme centers on the singer and his generation’s inaction in regard to current world conditions. However, he attributes this inaction to a lack of power:

Now we see everything that’s going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don’t have the means
To rise above and beat it

He also laments the corruption among leaders:

It’s not that we don’t care,
We just know that the fight ain’t fair

John Mayer confirmed this feeling of disconnect between the leaders and the led in an interview with The Advocate, explaining the song this way: “It’s saying, ‘Well, I’ll just watch American Idol because I know that if I were engaged in changing anything for the better, or the better as I see it, it would go unnoticed or be completely ineffective.’ A lot of people have that feeling.” Even so, the song alludes to hope for the future, with the singer intoning that with his generation’s ascension to power, things will change:

One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Politics was a topic that Mayer had not previously tackled. On his decision to include a politically-tinged song, he commented, “You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor. So in that sense it’s become more of an acceptable thing to comment on because it’s just so much of a white elephant.”
