I love how much John Mayer can mix this great little song up. So many guitar versions to this. I've lost track of how many versions of this song I've now heard and i love them all!
It really is amazing the way that he's never afraid to play his songs in new ways. Whether it's Wheel going from 4 to 16 minutes or Split Screen Sadness acoustic; he's always trying to reinvent his old self. I wish that there were more musicians that had the guts to do this.
He does that to all of us. His live performances are truly way better than the album versions... maybe he sells albums so people can record the lyrics and sing em out loud on his gigs. Love john #MAYERISBACK #COMEBACKTOBRAZIL
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been then you come crashing in, like the realest thing trying my best to understand all that your love can bring oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation half of my heart takes time half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you) oh, with half of my heart I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came Showing me another way and all that my love can bring oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation half of my heart takes time half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you) oh, with half of my heart with half of my heart your faith is strong but I can only fall short for so long Down the road, later on you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart but I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you [x3] but I can't stop loving you with half of my... half of my heart half of my heart half of my heart's got a real good imagination half of my heart's got you half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you that half of my heart won't do half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything half of my heart [x6]
Holy fucking shit! What a blessing to the Earth...and to us...the spirit is deep, so deep a measure it has, and shines power in the most beautiful way.
OMG! I've saved so many of your videos in my favorites today that' I've lost count. I was just surfing to find out more about " where the light is" cus', after all the gossip about John lately, I kinnda' lost interest, then I was expecting more of Battle Studies (it's a good album, but he's been giving us such masterpices, that good was not enough) but thanks to you (and your rare discoveries) Im starting to remembering everything that made fall for his music in the first place. Thanks a lot!!
Man. More amazing stuff. John's definitely one of the greatest musicians of our generation; deep lyrics, inventive and unique melodies. Waaay better than most of the pop-stars nowadays. Keep posting, chaferbud!
The harmonies in the song is really outstanding! I didn't care much for this song at first, especially because i thought it was stupid that Taylor Swift was in it, but that aside, it is by far one of his best songs acoustics, he's done alot of good stuff, but this one is simple, very melodic and catching - plus it's a lot of fun to play and sing ! :D
@ptaac94 Yeah mine too. I just like the live versions of the songs. It's just amazing what he does. He has an amazing voice but the way he plays guitar is just legendary.
@Linester25 totally agree. i almost always love the live version (of most artists&songs) better than the album version. so much more soul in the live ones:]
@Jagshemasher It's a studio acoustic. He's probably playing both guitars on separate tracks. I really like the acoustic set to video of him being in Japan. One guitar, one voice. Works great.
@LucyVanPelt983 Taylor IS talented. She's able to play and write songs that touch people. It may not touch you but it does plenty of others. That's all that matters. So long as there are people out there that enjoy her music, her work is valid. John appreciates all different kinds of music, not just what he himself plays.
You can try the Freeware "Free UA-cam to Mp3 Converter". Just copy the url from the video and past it in the aplication. It rips the audio of the video. Cheers!
What everyone needs to do is chill out. People make music because its their interpretation on life. The beauty of it is everyone is different, thats why its special. Who gives a fuck what bad shit people have to say. And thats most artist mind set "in my opinion". You did it, and its beautiful in every way. So stop trying to compare artist. Respect the fact that people enjoy different realities than the one of your fancy. And always....peace and love my brothers & sisters :)
@MattAaron17 It's not a game with rules, just name your favourite album. I like the variety of songs on the album Live in L.A. and it is my favourite because John Mayer shows us what he can do with a guitar. I saw him live once and it blew my mind. I love the albums, don't get me wrong, he's just so much better live.
I'm pretty sure it's just a power chord x133xx, then an F, C, then an F again. Sounds weird, but if you throw in the little licks he's doing at the same time it works out
@jetpacksfortheneedy That's just kinda how John is. He's trying a new approach with new albums. Battle Studies is kind of an ode to California rock in the 70's-80's. A little more folky like Tom Petty, etc. He's said himself how it's more "open" and less guitar fills on it, but he'll probably have more intricate guitar playing and whatnot on his next record, so don't fret.

Anyone who hasn't seen "This will all make perfect sense someday" must look it up on UA-cam. John Mayer recording his first album. Fantastic!
Such an amazing guitarist.
He does that to all of us. His live performances are truly way better than the album versions... maybe he sells albums so people can record the lyrics and sing em out loud on his gigs.
Love john
#MAYERISBACK
#COMEBACKTOBRAZIL
Dang if you thought #mayerisback back then...
so pure like an angel.
His ability to make his solo performances sound like the full band studio track is unreal. Or maybe it's also just as much the other way round
great crisp clean acoustic...nothing better. outstanding version...thanks for posting
The sound of perfection
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
Showing me another way and all that my love can bring
oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh, with half of my heart
with half of my heart
your faith is strong
but I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
but I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you [x3]
but I can't stop loving you with half of my...
half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart's got a real good imagination
half of my heart's got you
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that half of my heart won't do
half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything
half of my heart [x6]
it makes me happy and i want to enjoy my summer. with this song
He always manages to make the other versions even better than the album version. Great performance.
i just love that bassy sound of a martin!
the guitar sounds so rich in this recording. great stuff
Martins really have a rich tone
half of my hearts got you sad but true! loved that part!
the best version!!!
JM is the king
I love his live voice even better than his studio recordings. So beautiful
Beautiful song. Thank you
perfection exist, its john mayer.. omg why jm cant come in my life?
I listened to both SIRIUS broadcasts and they were both amazing. Thank you posting this!
whoa so cool he is truly gifted
I love john mayer so much
Holy fucking shit! What a blessing to the Earth...and to us...the spirit is deep, so deep a measure it has, and shines power in the most beautiful way.
This man is more than a musician. He's a genius.
he'll always be my favorite...
True

Damn...i love u plumpkins !!! This was always our song
Man. More amazing stuff. John's definitely one of the greatest musicians of our generation; deep lyrics, inventive and unique melodies. Waaay better than most of the pop-stars nowadays. Keep posting, chaferbud!
Great song!! fun to play and singable
Chaferbud, thank you for always posting these AMAZING songs on youtube, this version is amazing! favourited!
my heart just melted!
this is incredible
Wow... miracle to see a picture of John playing the OMJM... He almost never plays that guitar
@epicalice I can picture myself telling my kids about JM like mine did about Johnny Cash.
OMG..He is the best singer ever...JOHN MAYER FTFW
Killer as usual! Good voice with acoustic guitar!
This guy know's!!!!
He is Awesome!!
The harmonies in the song is really outstanding! I didn't care much for this song at first, especially because i thought it was stupid that Taylor Swift was in it, but that aside, it is by far one of his best songs acoustics, he's done alot of good stuff, but this one is simple, very melodic and catching - plus it's a lot of fun to play and sing ! :D
when he sings there's nothing like him he just so unique
Sounds incredible acoustic.
What less from John Mayer.
Thanks bud.
Luv this !! So clear.
I love his voice!
thanks for uploading this man
great song
best 4:18 i have ever spent on youtube.
This is sooo beautiful man! I love that guitar part
thanks for uploading this .i herd also in Sirius
amazing !!!
thanks!! :) i'm excited!
Genius!
@ptaac94 Yeah mine too. I just like the live versions of the songs. It's just amazing what he does. He has an amazing voice but the way he plays guitar is just legendary.
If only we had this stripped down version just with album airbrushed vocals
I'd say this is just it :) ua-cam.com/video/DrvioH_R_8U/v-deo.html
I LOVE IT!! Nice voice, nice song :-)
he's a magician
chaferbud, thaaank uuu bro
Obviously, that's a better version than the "full pop" one on the album. I love my John plain ;P
I can't get enough of this acoustic version.
One poll:
What's the best John Mayer song. Pick only one!
My choice: 'Bold as Love'
Ele canta muito. Adoro às músicas por serem tocadas no violão ♫
Música ótima.
@Linester25 totally agree. i almost always love the live version (of most artists&songs) better than the album version. so much more soul in the live ones:]
I have both! They both play the same IMO
@Jagshemasher It's a studio acoustic. He's probably playing both guitars on separate tracks. I really like the acoustic set to video of him being in Japan. One guitar, one voice. Works great.
@LucyVanPelt983 Taylor IS talented. She's able to play and write songs that touch people. It may not touch you but it does plenty of others. That's all that matters. So long as there are people out there that enjoy her music, her work is valid. John appreciates all different kinds of music, not just what he himself plays.
@The1994Hero
It's John Mayer's signature Martin OM (orchestral model).
He is a genius.
I need this mp3!
@The1994Hero I believe it's a Martin guitar. He uses those a lot.
@ilovejohnmayer22 just for saying that, i'm putting up a new video today! hope you enjoy it.
after the first line i fav'd
You can try the Freeware "Free UA-cam to Mp3 Converter". Just copy the url from the video and past it in the aplication. It rips the audio of the video. Cheers!
he does very well acoustically
why can't I let go of the repeat button?
@ikbendannyb please tell me where I can go to get more of your valuable and discerning insight
♥️♥️♥️
much better than studio version!!!!
Fleetwood Mac- Dreams
I liked this before it even started playing.
unreal lyrics
John using and OMJM in the studio ? that's a new one...
@LucyVanPelt983 Because she's a talented girl and John likes all different genres of music.
Ah, chaferbud, you did it again :-)
Great version! HIs voice is so gorgeous now...more deeper
I need this photo! (oh long hair *.*)
Please somebory help me?
SOLID

i think chaferbud is my favorite person on youtube, basically.
Yeah, Hes The ACCOUSTIC KING xD
@MattAaron17 It's not a game with rules, just name your favourite album.

all i have to say is..uughh.... i love his voice :)
@parkerlane13 i agree. she has a very nice voice in this song.
I'm pretty sure it's just a power chord x133xx, then an F, C, then an F again. Sounds weird, but if you throw in the little licks he's doing at the same time it works out
How does he play the intro, it's amazing o.o I love this version so much better.
@jetpacksfortheneedy That's just kinda how John is. He's trying a new approach with new albums. Battle Studies is kind of an ode to California rock in the 70's-80's.

@LoorXD, you dont hear Taylor that much in the orginal, so thats good :b
@Tork15 Even John agrees with that. He openly said that he feels Continuum is still his best work.
Go with what you feel.
Half of my heart is yours JM
❤❤❤❤
depends on which note he chooses
I would love an mp3 version. Help anyone?
