Highlighting John Mayer: 'Covered in Rain' and 'City of Love'
The song 'Covered in Rain' by John Mayer was played at the first and last show the speaker saw, 17 years apart. The speaker loves the guitar solo in the song, describing it as brilliant and awesome with multiple movements. The song was written as a response to the feeling in New York City after 9/11. It is a metaphor for being covered in rain and reflects the sadness of living in New York City at that time. 'Covered in Rain' is seen as a continuation of the song 'City of Love', with the former representing the post-9/11 New York and the latter representing the pre-9/11 New York. The speaker finds this music choice interesting and considers it a continuation of the story told in 'City of Love'.
