I understand loneliness. I am fine being alone but also like being with people. As all my friends are "coupled" and I am waiting for John Mayer..... I am alone. :) lol
When I'm standing in the Sun, I never really stop to think and miss someone But when I lose that light, Blue Skies at Night When those evening stars shine down, I suddenly remember that you're not around. And I face that fight, Blue Skies at Night These are the hardest kinds of years, the ones where people disappear. So tired of all these wasted dreams, I'm better on my own it seems. Dark in a ball at the end of my bed, I wish it was the three of us in yours instead. But I do what's right, Blue Skies at Night These are the hardest kinds of years, the ones where people disappear. Whose crying all these winter tears, they're hanging like a chandelier. And there beside the morning grey, A stronger man in place of where a fool once lay But for one more day, Blue skies Come what may, Blue Skies I'll find my way, Blue Skies at Night

I really loved the show today! And the song is great! I love it. I'm looking forward to Monday morning only because of Current mood. Shame that I can't watch it live.
I love your new song, John. You did a great job singing and playing it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The show tonight on loneliness was entertaining and, finally, very poignant and relevant. I hope you have a good 🦃 day. I am thankful for you and your music, your good heart, and your humor!
To address coffee at home: bullet proof coffee (finely ground), a french press, 4 cups boiling water, 4 Tblsp of coffee stir with wooden spoon (or take out chopstick) let rest for 3-5 minutes. Press and pour. You have a great life, I think... As an artist you have the resources, the talent and the time (as demonstrated with this blog) to hone your skills. Thanks for sharing your creative process and for having the fortitude to put yourself out there again and again. Few of us take that leap. Take care.
Hip hip hooray for no additional human guests!! Prerequisite----Mayer guests must be musically inclined. :o)))) And your choices of food, pillow and song are all excellent. I hope you might play Blue Skies with a future Dead & Company show? I like when my house is quiet and I hear the patter of my dog's feet on the floor. Lonely is good and you're right "happiness doesn't have a schedule." Happy Grateful Thanksgiving!!!
Hi John. Honestly, your show could actually surpass Howard Stern’s in the ratings. I love the “dead-pan” expressions coupled with tongue-in-cheek humor, the stories, and super intellect (displayed with occasional Harvard-level vocabulary drops, and background innuendo)! If only dogs could speak English! LOL. When you said “looking up in the sky”, Fido looked up! Hysterical, man! Wish I could jam with ya sometime on the acoustics.
Hope you get this, John. You sort of call(ed) yourself “the guy that kept showing up to the party.” Well, I’m the same. I show up to the party and then what do I do? I float around. No it’s not really a party it’s like. I float around. I feel like I’m waiting to explode with whatever potential I have in music, in teaching, in whatever talents that will pull me through life. But for now I’ve a broken heart. My girlfriend broke up with me a couple weeks ago. She was my first love, with me for a wonderful year. We ended on good terms but I lost her because she stopped loving me. And my social life has taken a nose dive since then. Because I float around. It’s hard to find others “like me.” I sort of passively do social media because a lot of it as I see it a substitute for real community, real connections. In real life I ironically don’t find as much even compared to my passive social media perusing. Loneliness is a life thing. For all of us. Here I am on a Monday morning still feeling lonely after a hard, hard Sunday night. But this new song has given me some solace. That first first struck my heart so hard. When I get off work early I head down to the little beach where I’m at and walk down where my ex and I used to hang out a lot. At night I’m alone on the beach. I can think, reflect, and find something to keep me going. But God I do get so lonely just imagining her there too. So that first verse... whatever you do keep that. I’ve been song writing a bit and have come out with similar things to Blue Skies at Night. Thank you man. I’m at that age (17). That age where you either go off toncollege soon and meet new people and launch into whatever world you end up in, or you don’t quite find your place yet. You float around a bit more. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Thank you. No, the hurt isn’t over. It won’t be for a while. But this song, and everything you’re doing, it all gives a bit of solace. P.s. you haven’t written a song about lonely Sunday nights yet so maybe I’ll write it. Haha
I think if you are financially able to do so, or if your family is able to a$$ist, it would be VERY wise for you to attend at least 3 to 5 (more would be better) Dead & Company shows over the summer. There, you will meet a special lady, meant just for you. You'll meet a like-minded Dead family who brings Peace & Sunshine to your life, but helps you to realize you alone have the power to create your own happiness, but they will be an addition to inspire you to be All That You Can be----you'll be a Goal-Setting-Duo!! You'll always remember the one who broke your heart first. Never rely on another person for your own happiness. You have the power within yourself to drive your own happiness. I believe this is partly what John Mayer is also saying. But when you meet the "right one" you'll realize, upon later reflection, that everything works out for the best. That is----because----you're going to meet someone who FAR exceeds the happiness you experienced that first time. What you experienced was a meaningful dress rehearsal for your next big performance in the universe. Say the Guardian Angel prayer (you'll find it online) and may magical times Light Your Path Of Life. Peace!
That poor dog had to do an interview while all his friends were glue-gunned to a fake wall in front of him. -Where the heck is PETA when you need them?- Hey John, can I talk to you over here for a minute?
I wish I could meet John mayer and jam with him before I die. Unfortunately my failing kidneys aren't gonna hold out that long. I hope he marries an amazing woman.
because john’s incredibly intelligent and emotionally mature. being “hot” can only get you so far. it’s a lot harder for people like him to find someone that can keep them mentally stimulated enough. it’s sad you think the way you do, i can only assume you’re still young and inexperienced
K...I’m kind of slow catching on to this, but can anyone tell me if one of these channels - like this one is actually connected to John??? I’d like to comment where he might see it. Please help!
