I watched this video over and over again when my girlfriend and I broke up. Now, listening to this song while i'm on the other side of the bridge reminds me of how much that heartbreak felt, not how much it hurt but instead how much I tried to hold on, when John sings "I just hold on" I just remember putting my hand over my heart and keep repeating: "This too shall pass, this too shall pass", that the pain inside my chest will soon be over. And it did. So to anyone who's going through a though time in their life, the only advice i could give you is to just hold on, because it gets better, it always does :)

[@somprem5164]

I'm so happy to know that you're doing better buddy. John spoils us but he also heals us. Lots of love from India❤️

[@PoScaboose]

Godspeed brother... just listened to this for the first time and started crying at work because of how it rang true with the heartbreak I'm feeling now. Sent her an emoji of a wave, and am just going to hold on. I hope you are doing well :)

[@codysalas6140]

Needed this a lot today, so thank you.

[@DaWizardOfOz7]

I don't think people even realize how difficult it is to have a casual chat while keeping the chord progression going without f**king up at least once lol

[@btorrestowers]

As someone trying to just learn the guitar parts...ur spot on!!! The picking pattern is difficult

[@mayumi1603]

This is ridiculously true!!!

[@schmoh11]

He picks a different pattern with each chord. Takes a tremendous amount of concentration.

[@hazemsherif3120]

" You're still in here too. And some times it's the only thing we need to know to keep walking"

[@joseca7509]

just wow, his sincerity , his talent, bless his heart

[@Uditorion23]

John is a master at creating just the right vibe for any song...beautiful.

[@chiefkief71]

"..Your heart is where my head should be The dissonance is killing me It breaks my heart.."🧡

I cry every damn time. This touches my damn soul.

[@Purplealegria7]

This song is kicking my ass right now…going thru a rough patch in a relationship, just trying to ride the wave. It’s devastating. Hope we can hold on.

[@kimberlykairo]

John expresses how there is hurt behind exteriors where there are a myriad of heartbreaking things going on, sometimes as they faux smile through hidden tears! This is great insight for him to share details about, kind of baring his soul. I have to love him! O the gifts he brings as a true Master, the Man and the King ❣🌟💎👑

[@aw4925]

This is such a beautiful song and his spoken sentiment is so poignant. What an honest , lovely man he has become.

[@chiragprajapati7159]

Oh honey You don't have to try so hard To hurt me Don't worry I been thinking bout you too What do we do Your heart is where my head should be The dissonance is killing me It breaks my heart It breaks my heart Oh honey Oh honey It's just a wave It's just a wave and I know That when it comes I just hold on I just hold on Oh honey I been talking to myself Just to hear you And you're saying Everything I wish you would And it's so good It's raining on the mission bell They're draining out the wishing well It breaks my heart It breaks my heart Oh honey Oh honey It's just a wave It's just a wave and I know That when it comes I just hold on I just hold on I rose on you like morning light In shuttered dream we'll sleep at night It breaks my heart It takes all the love I have to say I know we're gonna be ok It breaks my heart It breaks my heart Oh honey Oh honey It's just a wave It's just a wave and I know That when it comes I just hold on Until it's gone

Do you have a full recording of the show?

[@jigarchavda2045]

Did u auto tune this?? Or John’s vocals are getting better

[@ichhitjoshi396]

The audio is completely unedited. His voice is indeed getting better.

[@jigarchavda2045]

@@ichhitjoshi396 great!!

[@nickolespears]

I remember Any Given Thursday being so damn breathy but so damn good. I'm so proud of him. I want him to find love so bad. I've seen him live 3 times in 3 different eras of his voice.

[@divdav08]

Maybe a dumb question but does he mean 👋 or 🌊?

[@jenkurek8521]

🌊

[@sirjsph26]

A 👋🏼 surely. It's about a woman she loved before that randomly sent him a 👋🏼 during Sunday Nights..

[@dansands6363]

Pretty sure its the waving hand emoji. Without knowing the backstory to the song, I (like most people) thought of it as the wave in the ocean emoji because the general theme of the song is like a the sudden rush of emotion like a wave that just rushes in.

[@tekstephens]

It’s 🌊. John confirmed this at a live show. not sure if you can find this on the internet

[@OKIKOD]

Katy used to tweet 🌊 in 2016 so I guess it is a literal wave emoji

[@anthonysantamaria6385]

Wave as in water or wave as in the hand motion?

[@dhruvpatki2169]

Water, as in riding the wave of a relationship
