John Mayer - Taking On Water (Best Quality)

Yes, I know. It's on YouTube already. But somehow I didn't hear this version until last night, and was completely blown away by it. It's so nice not to hear the crowd for once, and it's actually pretty clear. Sorry it's not louder, idk what's up with that.

OH and one more thing.

***JOHN*** if by some miracle you come across this video and read this description, TAKING ON WATER NEEDS TO BE ON YOUR NEXT ALBUM. I know it's old, but this is beautiful... Please consider it, for the fans :)

Is this from the berklee clinic?

[chaferbud]

@romankok yup. i can't believe i didn't come across this performance earlier

[oogianaoo]

do you know when he is planning on releasing his new album? I heard next month but that seems too soon considering I haven't heard too much buzz

[chaferbud]

@oogianaoo i highly doubt it'll be next month. but then again coldplay announced their new album very recently (also coming out next month) so who knows. i'm guessing early 2012 though.

this is what John sounded like 10/11 years ago.. :) how i've missed this type of mayer's songs

thank you @chaferbud

[Malakai6489]

Totally agree that this song should be on the next LP!!! Everyone who agrees pls write a comment too or thumb up this one! Would be pretty cool if he should read this.

[neichpod]

great melody..

[rodneythemodney]

I dont see why John didn't like this. I'm sure he could come up with a great arrangement in the studio.

[peaceandlove7728]

So gorgeous. Really hope to hear him do this in the studio with band and some vox harmonies

[cooliotbarry]

whipping in the wind, my sail is torn

[namelesman09]

[Chamberlinable]

How the hell did this not make the album, it's so beautiful.

@droid740 hey man....what?



[JulezG101]

[robertcribdon]

great song, hoping this is on the next album 'born and raised'

I remember when a sliver of this song was up on Youtube with the Hokusai Tsunami image. I'd return to it at the bottom of a depression like a compass. These chord changes and that melody embody a North for me, that another soul is just as wet and miserable at the heart that storm they can tell is going to end. And that revelation comes just as the light breaks the storm in half. And you are left on the perfect ocean under the exploding colors of a forgiving sunset. I like finding this in secret
