    Happy to hear John is going to tour this year playing his original, old school stuff on acoustic, electric and piano.

    So, John Mayer was once the lead singer of Pearl Jam?

    ? Under violent skies we lay
    ? Wait for the storm to pass
    ? We're making love in our own way
    ? As we both watched the lightning crash
    ? Can't stand this weather falling all around my head
    ? But I will see this through
    ? I couldn't get no closer
    ?
    ? But you know I'd love to try for I am into you
    ? Ohhhh, these cloudy skies they change my view
    ? And everything comes back to you
    ? Our lives will never have to wait
    ? Just you and I this great escape
    ? The moon will turn these tides away
    ? And we will have our freedom soon
    ? I could say I love you but the scenery is speaking up for me
    ? I know I said, I know I said I'd bend the rules
    ?
    ? I am the earth, I am the ground, I am the king now
    ? Ohhhh, these cloudy skies they change my view
    ? And everything comes back to you
    ? Our lives will never have to wait
    ? Just you and I this great escape
    ? Are you thinking while I'm dreaming
    ? Got to get you out
    ? We'll be back someday
    ? Oooh I gotta gotta.. ooooh, yeah.
    ?
    ? Ohhhh, these cloudy skies they change my view
    ? And everything comes back to you
    ? Our lives will never have to wait
    ? Just you and I this great escape
    ? Ohhhh, these cloudy skies they change my view
    ? And everything comes back to you
    ? Our lives will never have to wait
    ? Just you and I this great escape
    ? I was alone
    ?
    ? Oh but you were holding me
    ? We fell in the deep blue sea
    ? We found our way home
    ? This is the way
    ? Happiness was meant to be
    ? This became our destiny
    ? these are my sky blues
    ? I am the waves..
    ? the waves..
    ?
    ? Take it to the sun
    ? I'll be your Neptune champion?

      I agree. it must be inspired by the band.

      +sam116pj If it weren't for the simplistic drums and whatnot, I would have honestly thought this was an outtake from DMB's first album.

    you can clearly hear the hendrix / srv influence on the guitar playing, and the influence of having no experience / training on his singing. but he turned into a grammy-winning singer pretty swiftly!

  • @rangeofmotion5993

    Love hearing that Jimi influence bleed through on the guitar...

    • @sajidhossain1997
      @sajidhossain1997 4 роки тому

      Similarly SVR influenced him most (personally)

  • @eastsideofthecity4552

    This screams Eddie Vedder

  • @dirklogan4699
    @dirklogan4699 10 місяців тому

    This vocal style was emulated in droves then and through the 2000s. He blended his Dave Matthew’s and Vedder here very well. He has always had a deeper speaking voice so no surprise this was probably comfortable for him to sing in this style and range.

    This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Allthough its just some demo from John's high school years.

  • @daviddragich8488
    @daviddragich8488 10 років тому +27

    If you pay attention to any old interviews and such, youll notice he often mentioned how he struggled with finding his "voice". This is just one of them i suppose. Cool though.

    • @runrabbitrun4342
      @runrabbitrun4342 10 років тому +2

      ***** What the guy meant when saying finding his voice is, He had a hard time finds his style , His place in music, Where he though he fit, Not finding his voice.

      ***** in John Mayer : Someday I'll Fly - 04:12 He wears Pearl Jam's Shirt :D This song is so 90's and influenced by Pearl Jam

    • @HakeIronMaiden
      @HakeIronMaiden 8 років тому +4

      sounds exactly like him, he just sings in a weird way

    • @Joxcie
      @Joxcie 5 років тому +2

      I love it!!! It's a bit hard to believe, but you can clearly make out the sound of him compared to his early albums. Right now it actually feels like a jump back in time. And it makes you somehow empathetic for the view of an 18 year old. Dunno..I just feel like facing the big vacation after graduation from high school *_*

  • @arjyabirchatterjee
    @arjyabirchatterjee 3 роки тому +2

    Why does the voice sound like Eddie Vedder's xD?

  • @sammorrissey
    @sammorrissey 12 років тому +1

    JM sings the verses. Joe Beleznay (sp?) sings harmonies.

    • @sully1892
      @sully1892 8 років тому

      Or Clay Cook maybe? I find that the only bit that slightly ruins these demos, just like in Live On. I don't mind John's Eddie Vedder voice so much (it's actually pretty cool) but the the harmonies don't sound right to me.

    It's John for sure, I'd consider myself a connoisseur of the Mayer arts. It's a really early recording, the earliest to my knowledge

    • @sully1892
      @sully1892 8 років тому

      Shit I've been looking everywhere for the chords!! What are they!? I'm sure if you slow it down once you know the chord each riff will become clear

    • @joshmaddux
      @joshmaddux 7 років тому

      Look into the "CAGED" system of playing chords.. John plays this style a lot.
