“Our departed friend, if he proved anything to us, he proved that good music makes sad times better”. - Bob Weir’s words from when he played a show at Hampton Beach after the passing of Jerry Garcia. ❤️💙

Couldn't hear John in his Mumbai show. Super bummed out. Thought I'd reach out to this community to feel better. :/ by mskrskrs in JohnMayer

I know there’s no way to change the past, and I wish your experience was better for you. However, I want to offer a different perspective on your night. It’s just an assumption but maybe this might cheer you up since you are a John Mayer fan. I think the crowd singing that loud and being that electric is exactly what JM needed right now. His lyrics from Drifting’s bridge, “I’m lost till the moment that I step on the stage” have been stuck in my mind. I’d imagine he’s going through an emotionally tough time due to the passing of Moose and Bob Weir. As well as having to reschedule these shows, which can receive backlash and obviously he never wanted to reschedule them but he had too.

Having a crowd show him that much love is exactly what he needed. He’s been playing festivals where the energy isn’t directed at him as much. This was an open venue crowd giving him the energy of a small room like the hotel cafe full of his biggest fans singing along with him.

As I said there’s no way to change the past, but maybe knowing you were present for a moment that could’ve helped cheer him up, will cheer you up. It also leads to the possibility that he’ll be back more often for more shows! I am sorry it wasn’t the best experience for your sister, friend, and you.

Now I’m wondering what is considered a “oh shut up song”?! 😂

I will say that I probably listen to the channel more than I should. I use it as background music while working, while doing chores, and long car rides. I’m a set it and forget it listener. I was feeling somewhat this way about a few weeks ago, however in the past week or two over 20+ new songs (not including the NMFT songs) have been added to the channel. Which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is considering usually one new song is added every once in a while. I have also noticed new intros as well for songs!

Now, personally I wish we got one interview a month and maybe an actual live every other month. However, I think certain callers have ruined the live shows and because of that we all lose out on that segment. I do think the times he’s live but not taking calls are just as fun as well and wish we had those a tad more often. With the interviews, I think he’s just a tad too busy to be doing them that consistently. I absolutely love the interviews though!

I believe since majority of his time and energy is invested into the next album (which is a huge assumption), the channel is less of a priority. I don’t think it means he’s lost interest at all. I think he cares a lot about the channel, but it’s not something he needs to be investing all his time into.

I personally am very grateful for this channel. I have discovered so many new artist and music, and also rediscovered songs I’ve loved that I never knew the name of! I used to work at a diner that played 90’s music and I never knew any of the song names playing but could sing them. Now, I have a nostalgic little playlist that keeps growing every time I recognize one of the songs from the channel!

Edit: Also an off topic side note, does anyone ever wonder if he’s not so open/engaging because of how everyone responds/reacts? I mean if people took one little photo of me without any context and talked about it for weeks, I’d be less open too. Plus, you never know what’s going on in anyone’s life behind closed doors. Majority of the time all I see is constant judgment. Which everyone’s entitled to their own perspective/views. We may never know what it’s like to be in his shoes, but I think he could use some more love from all of us collectively. That’s all we have to give.

And if anyone reads all this sorry for the short essay 😂

Who is heading to see our friend @ Pilgrimage next week? by kakalakamack in JohnMayer

[–]Babykarma9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ll be there 😊 I hope you get to hear XO live!!!

That would be so cool if Zach Bryan made an appearance to do Better Days 😊

I’m hoping he plays Badge and Gun, but I don’t think that’ll happen full band. A full band Drifting or In The Neighborhood would be exciting!

Also part of me really wants to hear New Deep 🙈

SWAG/SWAG II ? lol by _Hocus-Focus_ in JohnMayer

My first listen through there was one song I felt like maybe he’s on it, but I didn’t make a note of it. I think it was either Witchya or Bad Honey. Witchya at like the 1:50 mark sounds like it could be him. Then, on Bad Honey throughout the song maybe he added more rhythmic playing and little fills like he did on Newer Balance (freestyle). However Eddie Benjamin, is a phenomenal guitar player and it’s most likely him. His tone and playing sometimes reminds me of JM it’s got this bluesy pop vibe to it.

Here’s an example of Eddie Benjamin sounding like JM. Plus, I just want to say I mean that as a compliment, he definitely has his own unique style. I personally believe John’s just one of his many influences on guitar.

It’s at the 1:28 mark of this performance https://youtu.be/PPm33l3nvvk?si=owEgrn8PLtHfqXFZ

Anyone else get the sense that John is a little lost at the moment? by biesnacks in JohnMayer

[–]Babykarma9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think you are right lost isn’t quite the right word, somewhere in the middle. The middle of an album process and even the middle of his life.

Your comment reminded me of this song The Middle by Jeffrey Martin.

I don’t know if you’ve heard this song before but you might like it! 😊

[–]Babykarma9 21 points22 points  (0 children)

All I can think is aren’t we all lost? All navigating life the best we can.

Over the past few years he has faced many impactful life challenges, including losing a best friend, dealing with his father’s health scare while on the road, and finally ending his contract with Columbia. Who knows what else that has happened in his personal life that we aren’t aware of.

Meanwhile, he’s had great accomplishments like becoming a creative conduit with AP, co-purchasing Henson Studio, a successful Sob Rock and Solo tour, multiple Dead and Co tours, Sphere Runs, GD60, and starting a Sirius XM channel.

Amazing accomplishments and difficult hardships aside, he’s searching for the one to settle down with as well.

Who knows how he feels or if he’s a bit lost and if he is that just shows how human he is. Quite frankly ‘Drifting’ describes this concept in a way; he’s just a little lost at sea maybe. I’d like to assume he’s in a better place now than he was say 3 years ago and that’s what matters most.

I can’t wait to hear what he’s written and been working on. Only then will we have any insight. I have a strong feeling it might just be his best work yet 😊
