John Mayer | Love Is A Verb | In Support Of Our Troops
Reblogged solely for the adorable cover art. Song’s pretty good too:)
Because it is St. Patrick’s Day today :p
Found this from a bunch of unreleased/rare mp3’s. Any non-studio version is always nice to have on my streampad :)
God, I miss this man and his live performances… :(
Reason why St. Patrick’s Day hasn’t been added to this mix is that I was waiting for THIS VERSION. Why couldn’t I have heard it before being bombarded with NST? An unpopular opinion in the family most likely but it’s honest. Not only did the time seem a bit off given the World Trade Center devastation but also because at the time when it happened, I was following my dreams and having many doors slammed in my face. Watching hot boy who looked like the first one to destroy me seduce pretty girl in a cute little apartment probably didn’t help either, nor did hearing about John through the MTV interns. Now I just hear something that brings me to tears of joy because it somehow found a way to break through those barriers of defense, or maybe I was finally ready for this beautiful vision of love.
John Mayer | The Heart of Life (Red Rocks, 07.)
Want to listen to a beautiful version of “The Heart of Life”? Of course you do. Especially now…
Yes, yes.
…love I get so lost, sometimes… days pass and this emptiness fills my heart.
John Mayer - Edge of Desire - In Your Eyes intro
Awe John. So hoping for more streams this tour not to miss these sweet moments with you and all who are proximate in physicality. Need this so much. Lots of love.

“And it starts with singing this to yourself. Who says I can’t, ‘fill in the blank’ everybody. Who says you can’t? You know? I know there’s a couple crazy people here and it’s like, no, the law still says you can’t! But for most people, nobody is saying you can’t be yourself. If you put something on and you look in the mirror and you like it, go out in it. And when somebody looks at you, and they say ‘why are you wearing that?’ Instead of going like, don’t even look down, this? You go like this: ‘I like this, why are you wearing that?’ Watch ‘em run away. They’ll never bother you again. Cause the world is full of bullies. Just remember it’s bullying, bullies. Stand up to bullies. And ‘Who Says’ is my stand-up to the inner bullies in people. And I hope you enjoy it.”

Once In A Lifetime. Cover by John Mayer
December 31, 2009 Live from Las Vegas.
(via elisblog)
We got a soundboard recording from 2001!. Was this the first time John played Why Did You Mess With Forever? First show in Houston, we hear that early in the set. There were some mic issues during Why Georgia and John just improvised through those what likely were uncomfortable moments. Teased during Covered In Rain is a snippet of a song from possibly a favorite band at the time, Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
Blues Run The Game
Cover by John Mayer, 3/26/2010
Written by Jackson C. Frank
Catch a boat to England, baby,
Maybe to Spain,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I’ve been and gone,
Wherever I have gone
The blues have run the game.
Send out for whisky, baby,
Send out for gin,
Me and room service, honey,
Me and room service, babe,
Me and room service
Well, we’re living a life of sin
When I ain’t drinking, baby,
You are on my mind,
When I ain’t sleeping, honey,
When I ain’t sleeping, Mama,
When I ain’t sleeping
Well you know you’ll find me crying.
Living is a gamble, baby,
Loving’s much the same,
Wherever I have played,
Wherever I throw those dice,
Wherever I have played
The blues have run the game.
Maybe when I’m older, baby,
Someplace down the line,
I’ll wake up older,
So much older, Mama,
Wake up older
And I’ll just stop all my trying.
Catch a boat to England, baby,
Maybe to Spain,
Wherever I have gone,
Wherever I’ve been and gone,
Wherever I have gone
The blues, they’re all the same.
Love these lyrics and John’s interpretation of the song. Thank you for posting the audio.

Confession #1:
I listen to this performance at least 10 times a day. It’s the 1st song I listen to in the morning and the last one I listen to at night.
This is absolute perfection in my eyes even though yes, he “fucks it up”, and you’re right John, it doesn’t matter.

In Your Atmosphere (into Free Fallin’ & So Real) - John Mayer
“LA breaking your heart is just like a great Bob Dylan song”
(via elisblog)
“I kinda had this melody come up and I had this idea for a long time, a song called ‘Heart of Life’, and- and, uh… Something very interesting about death in the natural- sort of ‘natural cause’ kind of way when somebody dies like, like, the slow fade-out, y’know, like, literally, like- they’re like a leaf in water, it- it’s so bea- it’s kinda beautiful in a way because it’s just like a leaf curling up or anything in nature that just kinda loses its- its life and kind of turns in. An-an- and I was witnessing it a couple years ago, and, um, it was just beautiful and compelling and strange and I remember I… just couldn’t- didn’t blink for a long time. I was just like, y’know’ I wonder if, at the end of the game, it- do you go like ‘I’m glad I did that’ like ‘that- that was actually kinda fun’ or, at the end of the game, do you go like ‘y’know what, I just remember being cold a lot’? I don’t know- or like- y’know, I’m like, ‘what do you- what do you take with you?’ and then, maybe more likely, it just completely balances out, and they give you a pad and a pen or something, like ‘go figure it out’, you come back and you’re like ‘I-I can’t, every time I come up with one from the left column, I come up with one from the right column’. And so, this idea of, um, ‘I know the heart of life is good’ and it was sittin’ around for a while and I was lucky enough to have my hands on the guitar when this idea came along… and, uh… it’s called ‘The Heart of Life’ and I really hope I don’t mess it up.”
John Mayer- The Heart of Life (live, Hotel Cafe 4.10.06).
omg I just realized…I have had this version for a long time and I didn’t know there was a little speech before it. Awesome.
SO EXITED that this one is still on the table. Do we have an acoustic version out there anywhere? Or a lap steel. That sound is absolutely DIVINE:)
