  • John Mayer finds his smile and listens for the audience response while resting his elbow on the piano and lightly supporting his head after finishing the heartfelt song 'Never on the Day You Leave', a song from John's new album "The Search For Everything". Brilliantly played with feeling 2:40. This is only the fourth time John has performed this song live after revealing in an August 14 interview
    • John Mayer on recordin... why he still can't sing these lyrics live 1:47.
    Recorded live during 'John Mayer: The Search for Everything Tour' at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre at Tinley Park, IL near Chicago on September 2, 2017.

    A man who can go up and down the fretboard with his eyes closed is sincerely looking at every note he's playing on the piano. Beautiful :')

    A decade ago, he closed shows with wild guitar acrobatics on "Gravity." Now, he closes with simplicity. That's growth. What a joy it's been to follow John's career since 2003. ❤️

    I'm so happy he finally did it ... it's such a beautiful song. He has true feelings and a big big heart and unique mind.
    He deserves someone as true as he is... ❤
    Love you John.

    Probably the best song he’s ever written. I dunno. The final 3 lines make me feel every broken heart I’ve ever delivered or received. It feels as though it’s us... embodied by him...... I guess.... what I’m trying to say is... thank you.

    “The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, "No I'm happy for you"? That's when it's really sad... "

  • @BrandonDean3
    @BrandonDean3 Před 6 lety +146

    Two things I noticed:
    1.) This was either the first song of the encore, or he came out after the encore to play this (probably for personal reasons that are none of anyone's business). Either way, he had to walk off the stage immediately after.
    2.) 2:55 - When he says he struggles with this one, he isn't kidding. Such an awesome moment for people who have followed and grown to care about this guy.

    • @amolkhade
      @amolkhade Před 6 lety +13

      You're right! I was surprised to watch this video the first time! He never thought he could play this one live! Glad he did!
      Seeing him grow through the years and putting his experiences and emotions out to the world through his lyrics and interviews, the moment at 2:55 sure puts everything into perspective and you can't help but shed a tear for this beautiful human being.

      Hard to imagine this being about Katy Perry; she's kinda regarded as being pretty shallow, and I think it would be hard for an artist with the intellectual depth of John Mayer to find himself that deeply drawn to her.

      She didn’t actually leave, they decided to broke up because they couldn’t work together even though they deeply loved each other, Katy was asked after their breakup if John was a revenge romance towards her ex husband and she said “Absolutely not, I was deeply in love with him, I’m still deeply in love with him”. Also, John explained that even though they broke up they still loved each other so much that some Sunday nights she used to send him just an emoji of a wave 🌊 as a way to tell him that it was hard to stay apart and she still loved him, and he replied with another emoji of a wave as a way to say he got that and it was the same for him, so well... they loved each other but they couldn’t work :(
