Taking on Water (John Mayer) 1080p full HD

UPDATE: IF YOU LIKE THIS SONG, PLEASE SUPPORT ME BY BUYING THIS ON ITUNES: http://itunes.apple.com/nl/artist/jazzinc/id491220939

Here's a Mayer tune that most of you won't know. I found it on youtube when I was looking for his masterclass at Berklee. I fell in love with the song instantly. Hope you like it too, even though I am no Mayer by a long shot ;-)

I recorded this with my trusty Rode NT1as into an Apogee Duet 2 into Logic Pro 9 on my iMac. Added some reverb, EQ and compression later as you can tell.

The guitar is my own JazzInc strat into a Two Rock style amp I made myself.

Please let me know what you think!


On a sailboat
I am slowly
Floating nowhere
Lost the memories
Of where I am and why

Black ocean churning
A million stars
Are burning
Planetariums were right
About the sky

Once upon a day
I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind
Take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves
And I'm taking on water
Hard to see
I won't always be alone

There was a time
When August sun was high
And centered on me
But it dipped me on my back
And settled down

Used to square up
Through the land
Used to size it
In my head
But it fell
Behind the line
That meets the sky

Once upon a day
I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind
Take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves
And I'm taking on water
Hard to see
I won't always be alone

Inside this storm
Whipping in the wind
My sail is torn
In other words
The ends
Are not my own

Hard to see
I won't always be alone

I'm a sailboat out of here
Slowly floating nowhere
Hoping some day
I'll wash upon
Someone else's shore

JUst a slight correction in your lyrics, although you sing it corectly, i think....it's hoping some day i'll wash upon someone else's shore.
