Many years ago, Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton had a baby. That baby grew up and went on a Scuba Diving trip with instructor JJ Cale. There she hooked up with another deep sea enthusiast named John Mayer. Nine months later, this song was born, with the help of delivering physician Don Was and nurse Paul Reed Smith. And they lived happily ever after next to the ocean.
This song just chokes every new song in the album. It's actually one of the best studio songs Mayer has ever recorded. It's sad but you can dance to it. It's a mix of JJ Cale, Clapton and Knopfler with a pop vibe. It's really fresh.
@PeaceSeeker049 I’ve heard it enough times that I can hear both solos in my head. By memory. Any song that has that claim - it has been listened to many many many times
It’s almost 1 AM, windows open with crickets chirping in the background and an entirely new John Mayer album to listen to. Safe to say that today is a good day!
@@bobsmith3291 I noticed that too. Is it just me or is that not like John Mayer? 4 years for a new album and then 3 are ones he released years before this album. And the other one was obviously the lead single to the current album.
Honestly it gives me more "king's call" vibes which is Phil lynott and Mark knopfler. It definitely has that early dire straits thing with that first solo but it's also got later knopfler sound with the second solo
I was thinking it had Mark Knopfler-like country runs in it. I'm guessing he fingerpicked the solo. He also played super clean, which is a big Dire Straits move.
Early 90's was also my childhood era and I think you're right. I also felt how great classic rock songs at that time. No one latest gen Z knew about it.
Just be clear that the guitar was ALL John Mayer. The voice and lyrics are ALL André Martins. (B Fachada- Portuguese singer, composer, musician, producer) It´s a long story just now being told.
LYRICS: "Wild Blue" Never seen the sun before Lying on the ocean floor I'm walking through the wilderness And living 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 (Yeah, yeah, girl) All the tears I meant to cry Dance across the evening sky And in my sorrow I can see That missing 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
When i first heard this tonight on a FB page i thought thats Fleetwood mac. And hearing a soft tambourine i thought it was an unreleased song then as i listen more i hear Dire Straits and the haunting knofler rifts ...John Mayer has morphed into something else!
I never would have really listened to Mayer if it were not for Dead and Co. But I really dig his style. And now that I think about it, he has to be inspired by Mark Knopfler.... there is so much Dire straits here.
A lot of people think his inspirations are mainly musicians like SRV, BB King, Eric Clapton but he also has a good chunk of 70-80s pop/rock influences like Dire Straits, Paul Simon, and James Taylor which you can definitely hear in this new album.
Sorry for the confusion... I know who this song was influenced by. I incorrectly didn’t include the part of my though process that was “these days” in the original comment, but that’s what I meant. Big fan of Knopfler, Clapton, etc, just couldn’t put that idea of a unique addition to TODAY’s music scene into words apparently.
I was lost and now I’m found.. This is the part where we get in the car and take a drive on the Highway 101 in LA.. this is where we get out of the car to dance because we’re finally free of the sadness of loving someone for years and they never cared..damn.. I’m extra..
This is absolutely the BEST thing he's ever done. This is the song that can inspire people to pick up the guitar and learn to belt out some tasty blues/blues rock solos.
If you like this guitar style and tone, go check out Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler. A few tracks to get you started: Tunnel of Love, Sultans of Swing, Telegraph Road, Calling Elvis.
@@meadish bro, dire straits it´s what inspired me to play guitar, i have all their albums, huge fan, but thanks for the recomendation! you have another one? it´s complicated for me to find this kind of stuff.
No problem mate - from your comment it seemed you weren't familiar with the vibe, but I understand now you just meant you didn't expect it from John Mayer. All good. Is your request for recommendations genuine or sarcasm? It's hard to tell through the Internet. :D
@@meadish think he was just joking that John is the guitarist whose always running like a 20 pedal setup but he's gone back to just a clean tone for this album. Very unjohnmayerlike but I like it too
I'll say it. Should I say it? I think I should. John Mayer is the MOST VERSATILE ARTIST in the history of music. There is no other musician or artist out there who can win Grammies, do features with the likes of Frank Ocean, play with BB King on stage and then belt out a solo in Wild Blue that takes you back to the fucking 80s. This man is one of a kind. And we must protect him at all costs.
@@TC-lk2ev What is it about KGLW that transcends across various genres? Also Sufjan is great. So is Dallas Green. As is Prince or Bowie in the past - but John's ability to connect to the 60s to the 80s to modern music - I can't think of any other artist with such capacity of versatility.
@@tawsifakkas Hmm, good question. I think they cover a lot of different genres in each album. All is pretty related to rock - Surf, Punk, Garage, Psych (which are kinda similar) but then they go in Metal, Blues, shuffles, krautrock and every so often, electronic and doom-metally. Their latest album is very very synth heavy. On top of this they use a billion different time signatures. Combine all this stuff and you get some hugely varied music.
@@TC-lk2ev I think a lot of bands do shift around various genres within their own parameters - which is brilliant of course. Where JM stands out for me is not just versatility in terms of his own music (Born and Raised vs. Continuum vs. Sob Rock all have different sounds) but also how he manages to work with artists from completely different backgrounds and still manage to make it work. Common, Khalid, Travis Scott, Grateful Dead, Tony Bennett - it's insane.
This is the best one on this album. Gerry Rafferty and Dire Straits are clearly the influence here...sounds of my childhood. I cannot wait to hear this live...that solo is gonna be FIRE...that's where John's wizardry truly lives.
They're actually Hunter Hayes's lyrics. Same song called "Wild Blue" released in 2019. I think John is trying to give other artists the recognition he thinks they deserve. 🤷🏻♀️
Dear John, you're my sons favourite musicians he is 2 and half, everytime he hears a JM song there is a bright smile on this lips. Trust me he likes your music much more than nursery rhymes. Thank you for such excellent music over the year been hearing you play since room for squares album
I’m addicted to this song! First song I have put on repeat to play while I sleep. I’m starting my seventh decade of life, the comments made caused me to listen to Knopfler loved it but after. Hearing both I wanted to hear Bob Dylan like a rolling stone live. I played that on vinyl repeatedly in 1965. I had no idea John Mayer performed like a rolling stone live for Howard Stern . Musicians am I on to any thing here? Maybe that kicky back beat is substituted for the harmonica. LoL It certainly brought out the subtle dance moves from John Mayer’s Tic tok performance. For.covers of music of performers covering Dylan back in the day it was all listening and no dancing. We all stood in large crowds some with scarfs high around their necks and Dylan hair.
Everybody's right on the Knopfler influences, obvisouly, but I like to think Mayer wouldn't have come up with such a tone if he didn't venture on tour with the Dead.
I thought that as well. The whole album has a dead feel without sounding like the Dead. Love the Knopfler licks. Dire straits is another fav band of mine
John, you've been providing the soundtrack to my life ever since I first heard you at 16. I'm 35 now and you're still doing it. This song encapsulates my feelings and reflections on what's been my most challenging years. Keep em coming plz 🙏🏻❤️🌏
We all have had challenging years. This great song was written by André Martins. Also, for another unknown reason, possibly surgery, André Martins is doing a voice over of the entire album songs which he wrote. John is totally cool with the guitar work reaching great heights of smooth melodic riffs and licks of masterful perfection. Keep an eye out to see how the dynamics of this collaboration play out. It could go either way, very messy or like John´s licks and André´s voice, as smooth as silk.
This album has definite '70's-'80's influences (I am hearing Dire Straits in the guitar parts), but it is not surprising, considering who his friends are. I am always surprised how much Millennials love anything out of the '70's and '80's.
Because of this man i picked up a guitar! I dedicated my life to music. He influenced me in a way no-one did before. What a musician. Slow dancing in a Burning room Live in La - The solo the song itself still gives me goosebumps. What a class in music. Love your music John and always will. Thanks for staying true to yourself. I hope maybe. One day there will be the possibility to make a song with you. Produce a song for or with you. Wow. Dream Big they said :D John Mayer, a Legend who i always will look up to. Keep on groovin my friend. Keep on growin
This is very much reminiscent of Peter Green, both in the groove and the end solo. You can also spot a little bit of Knopfler here and there, especially around two minutes. Good song!
Mayer doing the Knopfler early dire straits thing. Yes.
I hear it
Yes you are totally right. Awesome 😂🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
Tasty!!😂😂
And JJ Cale.... That voice filter
I agree with you.
This album has been out for 38 minutes, but sounds like it has been out for 38 years
RIGHT? I'm feeling this song was played at my weeding that did not even happen yet
Inception
That's why it's so good. 😍
That's john mayer for ya
Haha that's right. This song was great 40 years ago, and still is!
I'm calling this 'The Best 80's Album of 2021'
Be careful, there is a lot of competition for this title this year!

Can't wait to hear the 7 minute live version with the extended solo of this song in concert🔥
Yesss. This song has so much space
yesss he will murder it live
Lmao yessir
This song is begging for more solo guitar!

This
😂…indeed
You read my mind.
Also, his grandfathers are BB king and SRV.
Seriously 🤣
That is the best song in the album
For sure!
This song has got my favorite melody but I think the best song on the album is All I Want Is To Be With You.
Agreed… epic!
Com certeza
My friends don’t even like John Mayer but when I sneakily put up this song they’re all vibin, without noticing they’re listening to him 😈
This song just chokes every new song in the album. It's actually one of the best studio songs Mayer has ever recorded. It's sad but you can dance to it. It's a mix of JJ Cale, Clapton and Knopfler with a pop vibe. It's really fresh.

Song is too good to be on the new album. Sorry to say it. (But I am happy it's there).
Spot on with the influences. I also feel some Gerry Rafferty
@PeaceSeeker049 I’ve heard it enough times that I can hear both solos in my head. By memory. Any song that has that claim - it has been listened to many many many times
Fleetwood Mac vibes too.
And the album is great!
John Mayer could be a "Sultan of Swing" with this one. HEAT.
You guys are called "Haters".
@@Soso-vh3tz Not hate at all. It's an excellent song! Just got a Dire Straits vibe when I first heard it with the drum beat and guitar tone.
Got the same vibe too. Slick guitar playing, true Mayer style making it sound so effortless
My ears feel massaged after listening to this
oh yes, that describes it perfectly!!! :)
Yezzz
your profile picture is "la mer" by debussy ,great taste!

THE JOHN’S SOLOS ARE BACK PEOPLE. I might pass out.
IT'S HAPPENING
Reports are coming In of people being evacuated from certain areas due to the unlikely beauty of letting you go. More on this at 5.
Love love
It gives me “sultans of swing” by Dire Straights vibes. I think this is my favorite song from the new album.
Honestly it gives me more "king's call" vibes which is Phil lynott and Mark knopfler. It definitely has that early dire straits thing with that first solo but it's also got later knopfler sound with the second solo
this is exactly what i said when i heard it
Excelent!!!
its sounds like tunnel of love at 0.75x speed
I was thinking it had Mark Knopfler-like country runs in it. I'm guessing he fingerpicked the solo. He also played super clean, which is a big Dire Straits move.
At 2:51 John says “that’s a good one” after he lands the bend. Legendary.
What the heck. I never would’ve caught that.
@@jasonbenham9338 yea it's probably for the vocals, why would he be recording his voice while recording a plugged in solo
He is a mediocre player - but surely not so bad that he needs to celebrate a successful bending?
@@jasonbenham9338 he said he recorded this album “live” in one of the interviews. Vocals and instrumentals together
@@agdolany1094 lol you right in the head?
1:48 I’m OBSESSED that ease into the solo is literally perfection. Every guitar player shot up when listening to that. John Mayer is a fuckin legend
You ain’t lyin

I've played this song on repeat since I heard it because of the solos
Also borrowed from Toto
Yep!
When John has his long hair, you know that the song will be amazing

You are in the way correct! 👳♂️🧙♂️

Idk edge of desire and heartbreak warfare are so good...

you even hear him on the track afterwards "that's a good one"

make it only 2 years, pls JM
make it only 2 months, pls JM
This is most likely gonna be his last album unfortunately along with his last tour.
@@eerielantern. why u say that
“And you’ll never know, the unlikely beauty in letting you go.” Perfect song, one of my favourites for sure
Very John, with nuances of Fleetwood Mac vibes
Wut? This is Mark Knopfler 100%, vocals and solo
@@asior34 Nah you can obviously hear JJ Cale and Gerry Rafferty there
I agree! Although the most obvious influence is Knopfler, I felt those Mac vibes. Some parts of the last solo reminded me of Rhiannon.
@@elquinardo The pick up is very Fleetwood
@@jackhamm7745 absolutely!
I’m 64 years old and just started listening to John Mayer’s music. He is excellent. Now, I cannot get enough of his music. Thankful.
Lucky you! He's terrific. Every album is great and yet so different from each other. I know him since his debut album. My fav one is Continuum ❤
I’m 64 also and I love John Mayer he’s a
feels so nostalgic. like how the shins had that vibe in the early 2000's mixed with like Neo soul riffage
I guess John knows all the chords. Not strictly rhythm tho, his solos are pretty sick too.
I see what you did there. ‘Sultans of Swing’ pun. You’re awesome.
"Check out guitar -George- John"
I was a teenager in the 90’s, who absolutely lived for classic rock, so I’m the perfect demographic. Sob rock, literally is Mom rock
That’s so awesome
Early 90's was also my childhood era and I think you're right. I also felt how great classic rock songs at that time. No one latest gen Z knew about it.
Everyone hit the like when the vocals started.
The vocal texture is sooo cool
You’re spot on 😂
True 😂
I hit like before the video started
I liked even before lol
This song makes me feel like I have heard music for the first time
John seems like you added another “masterpiece” to Blues Rock history.
Just be clear that the guitar was ALL John Mayer. The voice and lyrics are ALL André Martins. (B Fachada- Portuguese singer, composer, musician, producer) It´s a long story just now being told.

„I know this rhythm.. So familiar.” And then the guitar comes in. Six blade knife. Not a rip-off. A Homage. Thank you.
Dire Straits?
Good call
I was feeling a JJ Cale vibe on this one
Yes!!! Same vibe
Love will find away, do it again are 2 songs that i hear hints off
LYRICS:
"Wild Blue"
Never seen the sun before
Lying on the ocean floor
I'm walking through the wilderness
And living 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
(Yeah, yeah, girl)
All the tears I meant to cry
Dance across the evening sky
And in my sorrow I can see
That missing 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
Brilliant
Another Masterpiece
How amazing "Wild Blue" would be!
That's definitely the view of Los Angeles.
When i first heard this tonight on a FB page i thought thats Fleetwood mac. And hearing a soft tambourine i thought it was an unreleased song then as i listen more i hear Dire Straits and the haunting knofler rifts ...John Mayer has morphed into something else!
2:46 my ears are crying of joy with this guitar
SO GOOOOOOOD!
I never would have really listened to Mayer if it were not for Dead and Co. But I really dig his style.
And now that I think about it, he has to be inspired by Mark Knopfler.... there is so much Dire straits here.
Im also getting JJ Cale vibes big time
It’s so Knopfler man
Exactly. This guy has great taste. Totally knoppler inspired
A lot of people think his inspirations are mainly musicians like SRV, BB King, Eric Clapton but he also has a good chunk of 70-80s pop/rock influences like Dire Straits, Paul Simon, and James Taylor which you can definitely hear in this new album.
@@robertnotenboom2471 YES! Jj cale as well. Nice call
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that Wild BLUE made our day a notch':
Most definitely.
Every song on this album is a nod to an 80’s song I’ve never heard.
Um why doesnt this have 20 million views? This song is beautiful, as is the rest of this album. And cmon hes got the silver sky on the cover.
That is the perfect balance between a Mark Knopfler and a JJ Cale groove. Love it!
Exactly. Glad somebody else was thinking that this had J.J. Cale vibes.
OMG!!!!, Am I the only one who almost cried during the solo?
Yes
Do not cry boy. Be Strong :V
I did, it feels unreal that my favorite musician just released ANOTHER masterpiece of an album
This song is simply like NOTHING ELSE that is being released these days. I love it.
Check Mark Knopfler bro
Quite literally, it's like everything else of the era. Check JJ Cale, Fleetwood Mac, Mark Knopfler, Clapton...
These people can't read, he wrote "these days" not ever.
@@tobias_dahlberg Their comment was edited.
Sorry for the confusion... I know who this song was influenced by. I incorrectly didn’t include the part of my though process that was “these days” in the original comment, but that’s what I meant.

Yup Sultans vibe, some Fleetwood too! I dig.
And Clapton with a cameo solo

Dire straits meets the eagles meets Fleetwood Mac with John’s style all over it. Love it
Yes John Mayer is the fill in singer for Fleetwood Mac in this one.
When John says "that's a good one" at 2:50, it reminds me of Knopfler saying "that's nice" in My Parties when he fades a bend into a harmonic.

This song save my days
Just worked an 18 hour shift and this makes everything ok.
Because of this man i picked up a guitar! I dedicated my life to music. He influenced me in a way no-one did before. What a musician. Slow dancing in a Burning room Live in La - The solo the song itself still gives me goosebumps. What a class in music. Love your music John and always will. Thanks for staying true to yourself. I hope maybe. One day there will be the possibility to make a song with you. Produce a song for or with you. Wow. Dream Big they said :D John Mayer, a Legend who i always will look up to. Keep on groovin my friend. Keep on growin
Those solos... so soothing to the soul!
So frikin smooth.
This is very much reminiscent of Peter Green, both in the groove and the end solo. You can also spot a little bit of Knopfler here and there, especially around two minutes.
Good song!
This music reminds me of things I can’t remember, at least not in this timeline..
fav lyrics here
And you’ll never know
The unlikely beauty in letting you go
And in my sorrow I can see
That missing you belongs to me
This is the best song on the album in my opinion
what doesn't work opens to us the finding of what does. blessed journeys.
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.

@@melissajmorgan7747 I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
Look at those magic hands 👏👏
I genuinely appreciate the time he's taking to give us real music.... The guy has made a fresh and very inspiring album. Love you John Mayer!
3:33 we heard that before! When he played the first solo on "Born Under a Bad Sign" With Booker T and Gary Glark Jr. Fantastic!
Insane guitar solo 💆🙌
Certified Gold!!!!!
Yes! John is back!
this song simultaneously makes me want to go hunt relentlessly for my true love... but also kick back and enjoy a cup of joe at the same time.
I’m feelin this comment right now
It makes me want to rip a heater and drive my Tesla 150MPH in a school zone
This has a timeless sound to it. John Mayer knocks it out of the park again - and yes, it has some very classic sounds.
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
He had me at "Never seen the sun before"🙌
2:48 Has that nice Knopfler touch on the strings...very nice.
Just got my heart ripped out by the lady of my dreams, this came in handy. Thanks John Mayer
