One of my favourites from Sob Rock. Definitely. “And you'll never know, The unlikely beauty in letting you go.” This whole song , fantastic. The last two lines? Spot on. Thankful for John Mayer’s Sob Rock 🙏🏻
Indeed! I like all Songs from ”Sob Rock” it is a sweet album. But i mostly like Wild Blue and Last Train Home. Congratulation Mayer to a another great album! 🇸🇪 oops forgot New Light but it was released 2018
@@zhoustonh1 I think it‘s more about the discovery that heartbreak can also be beautiful in a way („the unlikely beauty in letting you go“) and that you can learn something about yourself from it („I found myself when I lost you“).
I love how sophisticated and real his music is this album, while his music videos look like a last minute finals submission to his college level film class... on acid.
@Stephany Obeshaw now that u mention it, the guitar parts along with the harmonies do give me Gerry Rafferty vibes. It’s p cool that he seemed inspired by Right Down The Line
Dire Straits is my favorite band. He captured the early feel of Knopflers guitar like magic. It was like hearing a new and lost song from my teen years. So emotional
“There is no more reason to adhere to any given idea of cool” - John Mayer. I feel like that quote sums up this music video perfectly. One big nod at being yourself, and it’s beautiful.
I always appreciated the fact that John plays the correct guitar parts in his videos and isn't just mindlessly strumming. Just adds to the authenticity for us guitarists and helps us learn certain parts of the song right from the man himself (And yes, I know he does that on IG and TikTok sometimes, which is great!)
@@sillyskeleton It’s more common than you might think. Lots of times the artist will just play random chords instead of the actual part just because it’s easier.
I really enjoy half of the album that’s has the 80’s vibe going. Seems like the rest was just already there so he added them as well. But I will say, Why You No Love Me has got to be the most ridiculously bad track he’s ever done. The only dud for me.
@@tharveytucker1 I like that track musically but I find the lyrics were throw away, maybe for a demo that stuck or something. In general, I think this album will have a lot more life when it goes live. The tracks are each great in isolation, but unified into album form, the package is less than the sum of its parts. No atmosphere, no dynamics, no ebb or flow. Would've benefited from an instrumental, some more guitar, and less flat production.
@@veronicaalleyne POV: maybe that is actually the name any other life form is using for us but we just don't know it yet :P if i was alien i would most certainly call this planet wild blue
John always knows how to play a lyrical guitar solo without sounding showy or playing too many notes. You know he’s a legend when the guitar solo gets stuck in your head
@@TooleyPeter Are you serious? Clapton was called a god before calling people gods was a thing. And he was like 20 yo. He had his whole carrer ahead. He was part of the yardbirds, one of the most important bands of its time; he part of Cream, one of the first supergroups ever. He played everything from blues to psychodelic, reggea, hard rock, acoustic ballads... You may like John mayer - I'm not even talking shit agains him, am I? And yeah, Clapton may be a douchebag antivax racist prick. But to be compared to him as a guitarist is a huge compliment for anyone.
Yes, he can do whatever he wants at this point and we're going to love it... but only because he's a damn genius. He himself called the album a shit post. Except its a shit post album made by a guy that oozes talent and skill. I, too, am here for all of it. 🙌
In an interview john mayer mentioned that its "timelessness" which he puts in his music throughout the making process... And its true actually,.. You listen to his 10 year old albums and then sob rock.. You'll get it... Just cant get over it ❤️

This whole album is one that feels like the John we all came to love 15 years ago.... it's classic but fresh at the same time. Dude is truly in a league of his own.
When other artists are rapping or singing about money, sex and depression. My man John is just living his best life and sharing happiness. 😂❤️❤️❤️ Love the vibe!
Lol. I'm a JM fan too, but stop with this bs. There's nothing wrong to write songs about any topic as long as it is good. Should I make fun of JM for writing about his failed(?) love life?
Wow didn't know I triggered people. I am just tired of hearing of artists talking about naked girls or female artists being naked. John Mayer is just a fresh breathe of air ATM. I'm not saying he doesn't touch on his own struggles, Whiskey Whiskey anyone or gravity for that matter. But all I'm saying is this song sounds refreshing. Also JM's songs have always had deeper meaning if you are interested in digging it deeper. But the tune is just smooth and nice. That's all.

@@bern1e74 lol I agree and totally see it. I think he truly does enjoy the vibe but can understand and appreciate how it looks cheesy, and he just goes with it.
"The unlikely beauty in letting you go" This song came into my recommended at the perfect time. When I had started moving on from someone whom I used to care about. When that person left, it was a Wild blue, but because of that, I found myself. I spent long and hard thinking about what I had done wrong, and what I could have done to be better, but that's me trying to change who I am, then I finally realized, that I can't change myself, but accept who I am. Truly some beautiful lyrics.
10 points, John`s songs comes straight to heart in the right time. Same thing happened for me like 6 years ago and the song was Wheel from Heavier things. I was spending my painful time in summer fields with that song in my airphones. Now is different time, but the same John.
I relate 100%. The day my girlfriend of a few years dumped me, someone I had fallen in love with, I was sitting in my car. Once I got off the phone, this song started playing on the radio and it has had a special place in my heart ever since.
@@Yamah12a ... No. A copy is either a copy, or it's not. This is NOT a copy. If that's a "rip-off", then every song is a rip-off. There are *many* things that were stolen from many different artists and songs in there, many that have nothing to do with JJ. It's funny because there are many people who comment this sort of thing - it's unoriginal, it's a copy, it's and it's that - and I'll bet you some solid money that they never released anything on their own. Because if you were to stop making music every time you though "oh this sounds too much like [insert whatever name]" you would NEVER make anything. This is way more polished than a JJ prod, the voice and guitar tone are wildly different, and he wouldn't have written that. So if that's a copy of JJ then JJ copied every folk singer and bluesman before him and so on and so forth... wait... actually that's how art is made, you look at the previous generations to build your own thing. Deal with it.
This is exactly what I thought when I heard it. The comments about John Knopfler totally work too, but, I thought GD first, maybe due to him touring with dead & co.
@@vaultusa Glad you find some Dead influences in this song too ^_^ Especially the filler at the end... reminds me of the one he did while they were fixing their mic problems before breaking into "All Along the Watchtower" (the video is on youtube :) ) To me, touring with them is still one of Mayer's best moves ever.
I lost my wife from cancer in 2017 and John was the main person I was listening to for years starting after 2011 when she got sick… this song reflects my emotions and all the tears I cried! I’ve been riding this vibe for a while and I’m getting back to normal but that mourning is hard.. thanks John Mayer for all you do! R.I.P. my love! 💔
I just can’t get over this album , specially this song ! The vibe is so right and my god this video !! The whole concept of the 80’s is so amazingly done ! And that guitar ! Mayer you are a god , not from this world !!
I like how gradually John Mayer doesn’t take himself to seriously and enjoy creating at what he does best- music. And I love how corny this music video is.
lashing out? considering the circumstances I think the unlawfully derained federal prisoner is doinh well despite the lack of social interaction, communications from the outside world and reaction to my asking for freedom
He's under appreciated here in Ireland, very few radio stations play him. Album has that glorious 80s feel, very like Toto, Bruce Springsteen and the MAC.
ngl, he's this generations' eric clapton with less racism. He has the guitar chops, and the music knowledge that other guitarists will learn FROM him like how other guitarists learn from their guitar heroes.
It takes an amazing musician like John to come up with a song with the bass/drum stylings of John McVie-Mick Fleetwood, the lyrical phrasing of Lindsey Buckingham, the rhythm guitar chords of Mark Knopfler, the punctuating melodic note bendings of Gerry Rafferty with the vibrato lead sound of Eric Clapton and Jerry Garcia ( combined ) into a song on the subject of dealing with loss through appreciation of our beautiful surroundings. Thanks John. You hit a home run with the album, especially with this tune.
It's good to see Johnny Depp making music. Nah just kidding. I'm happy that I stumbled upon this song yesterday. Best decision I ever made because after I listened to it the first time, I'm not going to lie, I then listened to it 10 more times in a row and lost count after that. Like, I did not listen to any other song that day but this song, swear to God. My new favorite song.
@@josiahgust As a matter of fact, I did not know that. I am a bit surprised by that. I will look more into that. Although, I have noticed many celebrities have made their own music. For instance Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr., Hailee Steinfeld, and I'm sure some more. But great note though, thank you for letting me know that Johnny Depp is a part of a band and plays guitar. I never knew that.
@Michael STEVEN KING, WOW, out of all the people, I would not have expected him to be a musical artist, but then again I haven't done much research into him. I know he loves music, but never knew he would actually be an artist. I will DEFINITELY check that out. Thanks! I would've never knew. Good for him.
This is the best written and performed song on the album in my opinion. The parts flow so well into each other and the groove is maintained throughout. Love it!
It's my favorite too. I started listening to this album on UA-cam and when I got to this song I kept repeating it. Not only does it mention my favorite color, but it's amazing.
This was my intro song too him. Heard the guitar playing while driving home from somewhere. Had to come and search you tube for .........blue. imagine my surprise.
In my next life, I want to be John’s brain… I can’t quite articulate how brilliant this album is. Thank you for taking us on this much needed journey back in time. Absolute masterpiece
He is absolutely amazing,looks,intelligence,guitar fundi,presentation I used to think he was cocky but it's his brain it runs with the music highly talented dude.In my next life I'm John Mayer
I agree! This song is so special. It gives me a feeling that no other song can. When I listened it the 1st time I was instantly catapulted to another world.
The first time I heard this song I caught it right as the 2nd solo started. I remember thinking "what Knopfler song is this that I haven't heard before" lol
Never seen the sun before Lyin' on the ocean floor I'm walkin' through the wilderness And livin' off the loneliness Oh wild blue, deeper than I ever knew Wild blue on a bed of grey Oh baby, what a wild blue I found myself when I lost you All the tears I meant to cry Dance across the evening sky And in my sorrow I can see That missin' you belongs to me Oh wild blue, deeper than I ever knew Wild blue on a bed of grey Oh baby, what a wild blue I found myself when I lost you Wild blue, deeper than I ever knew It's a wild blue since you went away Oh baby, what a wild blue I found myself when I lost you And you'll never know The unlikely beauty in letting you go (So go on)
Wild Blue Is a Song that was recorded perfect, I Hope john Stays in that state of mind and sound for his next album which i think is right around the corner, He is on fire, Perfect sound going on, Thanks John Mayer
Can't wait for the live version when he absolutely shreds the shit out of this song.
Right!? I see him in Nashville in April, and this is a song I’m looking forward to the most.
I see him in October can’t wait
A lot of the songs fade out on this album, meaning that he can solo for an eternity on each one live. I just pray that he comes to the UK
That would make it a bit better.
Will be seeing him do it live next year Seattle 🎸
His greenscreen editing is getting better, he is ready to be a star.

I love that his guitar isn’t plugged in. He knows he doesn’t need to pretend. Love this song.
Honestly props to the video editor, I didn't even notice until you said.
He’s got a wireless on it.
@@impatrickt you've probably never seen a guitar in person, but there's definitely nothing plugged into his silver sky
@@JustinSpakable probably a joke.

"And you'll never know the unlikely beauty in letting you go." Wow. Such a great line.
"The unlikely beauty in letting you go"
This song came into my recommended at the perfect time. When I had started moving on from someone whom I used to care about. When that person left, it was a Wild blue, but because of that, I found myself. I spent long and hard thinking about what I had done wrong, and what I could have done to be better, but that's me trying to change who I am, then I finally realized, that I can't change myself, but accept who I am. Truly some beautiful lyrics.
On point sir, I’m not sorry,me too

10 points, John`s songs comes straight to heart in the right time. Same thing happened for me like 6 years ago and the song was Wheel from Heavier things. I was spending my painful time in summer fields with that song in my airphones. Now is different time, but the same John.
I relate 100%. The day my girlfriend of a few years dumped me, someone I had fallen in love with, I was sitting in my car. Once I got off the phone, this song started playing on the radio and it has had a special place in my heart ever since.
Me too. All the way man. I finally feel like I know who I am.
I just saw his live performance at NYC. It literally cured my cancer. Thanks John 🙏
❤️💙💜✌️
I was there and God bless you ..John is something special ❤
Sure…
Man.. hope the best for you
If JJ Cale and Mark Knopfler had a song baby, this would be it. Two of my favorite artists embraced wonderfully by John Mayer. Love this song so much.
JJ Cale was the first thing I thought of.
Idk it's catchy but it's just a straight Jj Cale rip off from any of his first 5 albums. Pretty unoriginal in my own opinion.
@@Yamah12a ... No.
A copy is either a copy, or it's not. This is NOT a copy. If that's a "rip-off", then every song is a rip-off. There are *many* things that were stolen from many different artists and songs in there, many that have nothing to do with JJ. It's funny because there are many people who comment this sort of thing - it's unoriginal, it's a copy, it's and it's that - and I'll bet you some solid money that they never released anything on their own. Because if you were to stop making music every time you though "oh this sounds too much like [insert whatever name]" you would NEVER make anything. This is way more polished than a JJ prod, the voice and guitar tone are wildly different, and he wouldn't have written that. So if that's a copy of JJ then JJ copied every folk singer and bluesman before him and so on and so forth... wait... actually that's how art is made, you look at the previous generations to build your own thing. Deal with it.
BTW, I am a massive, massive fan of JJ. My fav guitarist except Jeff Beck.
This is a certified hood classic.
*70's Dire Straits - 80's Fleetwood Mac - a combo vibe.*
Chris Rea and Gerry Rafferty too !!!
@@АлександрГроздов-л7ц And a bit of JJ Cale too
@@АлександрГроздов-л7ц Agree.Very Rea vibe.And Snowy White too
and Carlos Santana
Agree. Came here to look for a Dire Straits comment haha.
''The unlikely beauty in letting you go''
Grateful Dead vibes all over. Being around these old legends made John style reach a new peak.
This is exactly what I thought when I heard it. The comments about John Knopfler totally work too, but, I thought GD first, maybe due to him touring with dead & co.
@@vaultusa Glad you find some Dead influences in this song too ^_^ Especially the filler at the end... reminds me of the one he did while they were fixing their mic problems before breaking into "All Along the Watchtower" (the video is on youtube :) )
To me, touring with them is still one of Mayer's best moves ever.
I can't believe how well he nailed the Dire Straits sound.. It's actually incredible.
Came to yt just to see if there was enough dire straits appreciation. I’m satisfied
Omg you’re right
I hear JJ cale
@@brookebabbitt7408 Cale inspired Knopfler
Theres only one Dire Straits and they cant be compared to anyone. Legends ❤️
the way they added the last riff, god so dreamy.
What last riff
@@bobsmith3291 the last one
@@Xeroc_ there’s nothing there that isn’t in the original song
It doesn’t fade out like on the album there is a extra guitar lick that is cut off in the video 😜
@@jdwilliams202000 talking shite
Ull never know the unlikely beauty of letting you go. This is one thing about john, he has so many quotable lyrics
0:25 “I’m walking through the wilderness and living off the loneliness.” Great line.
Wild Blue more than I've been looking for...collab...collab...fan collaboration.
Musically, this is Dire Straits and JJ Cale inspired, visually this is Peter Gabriel inspired. Great tributes to his 80’s heroes.
I see a little SRV and Prince in the video too.
Great Tune, Weldon Cale, Mark Knopfler, and Chris Rea,
More Like Dire Straits King's Call
With love from Algeria.
been bumping this song everyday
Who hasn't
and still listening in 2021

@@samcrandall3094 yeah 🤣🤣🤣
Me too I simply can't stop
I lost my wife from cancer in 2017 and John was the main person I was listening to for years starting after 2011 when she got sick… this song reflects my emotions and all the tears I cried! I’ve been riding this vibe for a while and I’m getting back to normal but that mourning is hard.. thanks John Mayer for all you do! R.I.P. my love! 💔
Kinda sorry to read you use your wife's tragic death for Internet clout.
I just can’t get over this album , specially this song ! The vibe is so right and my god this video !! The whole concept of the 80’s is so amazingly done ! And that guitar ! Mayer you are a god , not from this world !!
Definitely not from this world!
John is like the Mozart of our times, a Wunderkind!
@NadZ Hello thanks for your comment and support much love
I like how gradually John Mayer doesn’t take himself to seriously and enjoy creating at what he does best- music. And I love how corny this music video is.
It's so 90s it's crazy
Wtf are you talking about you don’t make sense
@@JessIca-lf1kp WTF DO YOU MEAN JESSICA

I’m sorry my bad. It was typo and English is my 2nd language. Thank you for paraphrase what actually i wanna say 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
He's under appreciated here in Ireland, very few radio stations play him. Album has that glorious 80s feel, very like Toto, Bruce Springsteen and the MAC.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As a limerick man I can vouch for this!
He barely gets airplay in the US too.
@@memyself8 sometimes they play him at my gym (probably not the best gym music lmao) and I get so happy every time I hear it
@@patch858 I'll hear some of his songs at the grocery store.
ngl, he's this generations' eric clapton with less racism. He has the guitar chops, and the music knowledge that other guitarists will learn FROM him like how other guitarists learn from their guitar heroes.
The song, the guitar, the hair. Everything is perfect.
The jacket completes it. I swear srv wore the same one.
@@winslowwong9719 I was thinking the same thing dude
This song can be prescribed as a medecine to any Mental health issue. Just listen and take deep breaths.
You can always tell when someone is there purely for the music. JM is just doing his thing and I love that
It takes an amazing musician like John to come up with a song with the bass/drum stylings of John McVie-Mick Fleetwood, the lyrical phrasing of Lindsey Buckingham, the rhythm guitar chords of Mark Knopfler, the punctuating melodic note bendings of Gerry Rafferty with the vibrato lead sound of Eric Clapton and Jerry Garcia ( combined ) into a song on the subject of dealing with loss through appreciation of our beautiful surroundings.
Thanks John. You hit a home run with the album, especially with this tune.
Now that's a rock solid comment. 😎
Nailed it!
Spot on, my friend!
Nailed it!
This should be in description of the song itself, definition of a 100% correct comment! Kudos to you, my good sir/mam!
He knows all the chords
It's good to see Johnny Depp making music.
Nah just kidding. I'm happy that I stumbled upon this song yesterday. Best decision I ever made because after I listened to it the first time, I'm not going to lie, I then listened to it 10 more times in a row and lost count after that. Like, I did not listen to any other song that day but this song, swear to God. My new favorite song.
All jokes aside, did you know that Johnny Depp is in a band with Alice Cooper and is actually a good guitar player?
@@josiahgust As a matter of fact, I did not know that. I am a bit surprised by that. I will look more into that. Although, I have noticed many celebrities have made their own music. For instance Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr., Hailee Steinfeld, and I'm sure some more. But great note though, thank you for letting me know that Johnny Depp is a part of a band and plays guitar. I never knew that.
@@josiahgust Also, I see that you make music as well or make covers, subscribed :)
The suit and the hair plus his current 80s vibes inspired tunes remind me of the late 80s/early 90s Clapton.
@Michael STEVEN KING, WOW, out of all the people, I would not have expected him to be a musical artist, but then again I haven't done much research into him. I know he loves music, but never knew he would actually be an artist. I will DEFINITELY check that out. Thanks! I would've never knew. Good for him.
I'm going to faint from joy. It is a super theme. The most anticipated album. This album is life. VENEZUELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Absolutely right!!👏🏻👏🏻blessings to all the Venezuelans 🙏🏻
Really is 🔥
@@Odinsyeus
Thank you so much
Thanks belove 🥰 hope you won't stop listening to my music
This is the best written and performed song on the album in my opinion. The parts flow so well into each other and the groove is maintained throughout. Love it!
His dancing…is way too seductive. And I am a hetero male. This is GROOVE.
It's my favorite too. I started listening to this album on UA-cam and when I got to this song I kept repeating it. Not only does it mention my favorite color, but it's amazing.
This Wild Blue is now going to hang in my mind for how long?💎
This was my intro song too him. Heard the guitar playing while driving home from somewhere. Had to come and search you tube for .........blue. imagine my surprise.
In my next life, I want to be John’s brain… I can’t quite articulate how brilliant this album is. Thank you for taking us on this much needed journey back in time. Absolute masterpiece
He is absolutely amazing,looks,intelligence,guitar fundi,presentation I used to think he was cocky but it's his brain it runs with the music highly talented dude.In my next life I'm John Mayer
He made it full screen instead of widescreen for an authentic throwback vibe. Gotta love the attention to detail, well done, John! 👏🏻
For me wild blue gives me the feeling i never had ! Pure bliss ! Sob Rock is a different universe for me
I agree! This song is so special. It gives me a feeling that no other song can. When I listened it the 1st time I was instantly catapulted to another world.
nahi degi
This song gives me big Mark Knopfler vibes and I am loving it 😀
The first time I heard this song I caught it right as the 2nd solo started. I remember thinking "what Knopfler song is this that I haven't heard before" lol
Came to say the same thing!
Every time I hear it I think Dire Straits!!
I scrolled way too far for this comment. He’s in complete dire straits.
I'm getting Fleetwood Mac vibes
I need to appreciate Mayer more.
This is the kind of music that used to exist all over the radio. Like the real music.
I'm glad I found this song. The lyrics is exactly how I felt when I lost my son but I couldn't put into words
I can really relate my friend 🙏♥️🤍💙
How are you doing now? I hope there's some peace in your life.
I'm good although I wish the world was especially here in the USA & I miss my only son Joshua SO much & can't wait to see & hug him again 🙏😇♥️🤍💙
i am sorry for your loss😢.. hope you are well
Beautiful ❤️
And shows EVERYONE exactly how to play every note of the song! That’s one thing I love about his philosophy toward music and his fans! Super cool!
I agree with you but I still can't. Man's a living legend 🎸🤘
His older stuff is super technical for even an experience guitarist but his new stuff is more playable for everyone
the ultimate of cool is John Mayer. He is what Barack is to politics.
Thanks for your love and support on my channel,you are a true fan.you can write me on Johnmayermusic42@gmail.com
"...missing you belongs to me..."
We need a chilled out version of this song kinda like the video preview! That dreamy guitar lick coming in was perfection.
Never seen the sun before
Lyin' on the ocean floor
I'm walkin' through the wilderness
And livin' off the loneliness
Oh wild blue, deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
All the tears I meant to cry
Dance across the evening sky
And in my sorrow I can see
That missin' you belongs to me
Oh wild blue, deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
Wild blue, deeper than I ever knew
It's a wild blue since you went away
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
And you'll never know
The unlikely beauty in letting you go
(So go on)
SE AGRADECE GRAAÁNDE😉
Smooth song!
You can only admire the talent and what looks like the fusion of Jim Carre and John Mayer
John Mayer has escaped the stratosphere, what he brings back to us is otherworldly nostalgia. Pure gold.
*SilverSkyophere.
Quite mellow!
He got tired of waiting for the world to change, so he is going to do it himself
This is the most "easy listening" I've ever heard John Mayer do.
He's definitely gives off a dad vibe, now.
That aint bad tho
Whose dad 😂??
1:15-1:30, those guitar notes, make my brain dance. This song is so perfect.
Yeah I like 2:46 to 3:00
I like 1:45
Wild Blue Is a Song that was recorded perfect, I Hope john Stays in that state of mind and sound for his next album which i think is right around the corner, He is on fire, Perfect sound going on, Thanks John Mayer
