“Sometimes you can miss the human aspect of somebody enjoying what you do, if you look for the inhuman aspect of numbers with loads of zeros after them. And for me, it’s people who hand back change or help me to my room or something and say how much the record means to them, people on the street.”

Happy Valentine’s Day y’all!
“Be my Valentine Toronto” (how the hell did i miss this show?)
John Mayer - Valentine’s Day Rap in Toronto
Just reminiscing over how powerful this was even and especially after Assassin. Talk about contrast but it was exactly what I needed to hear that night. As for the rest of United Center save a couple of us including the person who shot this video, I can’t be so sure. Only after a few chords into the first verse did the place finally settle down. John handled the energy extremely well.
…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.

John Mayer on July 8, 2009, the day after playing ‘Human Nature’ at the Michael Jackson Memorial which was held on July 7th.
According to some fans, this was posted on JM’s tumblr on Oct 27 but for some reason is not there anymore. This is so cute!

This is so sweet - I found it on our table while cleaning up after our Gala For A Cure. It’s a letter Isaac wrote to John Mayer, presumably during the video we were showing for his Lifetime Impact Award. So cute! I love how he spelled congratulations (congragyoulathonson)
Translated, it says -
To: John Mayer
Love: Isaac
Here is your award. I hope you like it. I have something to say: I Love you. And congratulations on winning your award.
Love You Very Much.

Such a great angle on this video. What’s that big grin about John? No matter. Keep thinking those happy thoughts if they still feel good;) You’ll be holding those notes again in no time.
Thank you RP for this lyrical translation. Sounds pretty spot on if you ask me. We make a good team. After listening to the other videos, I thought this recording had a crisper sound to it. Audio Credit: (via)
Verse 1
You and I, we were born out of the pain. When we found our way to one another, we were bleeding from the same vein. Sometimes you’ll have to go off Sea without me. Now you can bring a song, you can sing when you’re lonely
Chorus:
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you.
Verse 2
Sometimes I think that this is not your first dance across the lifeline. Tethered to the afterlife and ghosts that came before us, at the same time. Sooner or later the winds gonna take you where I won’t. When you want to pretend that we lose in the end, baby please don’t.
Chorus
Bridge
When you’re losing light, at the end of the day, Feeling last in line to (lay claim to your name?) When you feel like your heart is on constant display, fall into your arms and remember to say…
Chorus 2
Somebody loves me x 4
Outtro/Repeat.
You and I, we were born out of the same pain.
When we found our way to one another, we were bleeding from the same vein.
