John Mayer - Edge of Desire (Joey Ariemma cover)

John Mayer song "Edge of Desire" off his new album, Battle Studies. Love this song. So I recorded my own version of it and made a video.
Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Young and full of running
Tell me where is that taking me
Just a great figure eight
Or a tiny infinity

Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me
For all of my trying
We still end up dying
How can it be

Don't say a word
Just come over and lie here with me
Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me

So young and full of running
All the way to the edge of desire
Steady my breathing, Silently screaming
I have to have you now

Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
And find me on yours

Don't say a word just come over and lie here with me
Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me

Don't say a word just come over and lie here with me
Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me

Hey man good stuff, and i disagree with adamhilme, i think you have a pretty decent voice, just need to clean up the end of your expression a little... by that i mean try and cut out some of the heavy "sighing" (release of all your leftover air) you do at the end of every line, it makes it sound like a michael jackson impersonation (a bad one at that, haha)

[joeyariemma]

@BelleM44 Thank you for the constructive criticism! I will work on the phrasing, 'cuz we all know I'm not trying to sound like Michael! haha. I've been trying to find my voice for a while now, and the input really helps!

Great cover, I can tell you love the song and put time into making this. Good Job and keep it up.

If stars: 5/5

@TheStalkingShadow Thank you very much!

[adamhilme]

Not trying to be a jerk, but I think you should stick with guitar

[joeyariemma]

@adamhilme thanks for watching the video. spread it if you dig it.

[ubii]

I like the guitar work, but I'm not feeling your voice as much :S

[jomajacek]

so nice :)

[ALEXISELMEJ0R]

tab bass pleaseee!!!



[TheMmcquade]

This is awesome. I would agree with everyone else that the guitar is perfect. The video was creative and showed a lot of work. You da man!!! Keep working this hard and your wildest dreams will come true!

[givenbyher]

guitar is perfect...vocals a bit off and a bit off tune...confusing as your guitar is perfect? Sing through your mouth a bit more I guess, but it was great and I love all the video shots and time you put into it. Nice work.

[joeyariemma]

@sanchovoe thank you! I'm getting around to posting new tunes, and I have an original song that you will probably dig.

[2creazy4u]

wonderful song !

[edmeist]

not too bad :) id say the guitar was alot stronger than the voice itself that could use SOME working on but the solo...was NOT expecting that it was pretty amazing :) 4/5

[jrochet]

Pull that wang out of your butt and de-gay this song a bit will you?
