John Mayer - Heart So Heavy (Live, Acoustic)

Wow. I don't know anything about this song. Except that it's John Mayer. Live. And acoustic. And it's awesome. I don't know where it came from but honestly, I don't care haha it's here and that's what counts.

[@jangelguerrero1190]

I went out walking tonight Cuz I need to Everything that I had I’m waiting on Gave ‘til I gave all I could And kept a little Finding it hard to believe Everything’s gone Gone Gone How am I gonna run back home With a heart so heavy How am I gonna make my way When I can’t find the road How am I gonna beat this pain When I can’t see how deep it goes Heaven knows but I don’t Faith is a backless design But I still choose it I’ve followed it all of the time But carry on I used to live by the line As good as a circle What does it do for me know Everything’s gone Gone Gone Chorus Interlude So how am I gonna run back home With a heart so heavy How am I gonna make my way When I can’t find the road How am I gonna beat this pain When I can’t see how deep it goes Heaven knows but I don’t I still believe love I still believe love I do I do I still believe love I still believe love…

[@cguns9893]

I don't deserve to feel like this

[@lucilaruiu]

so much to thank this man for.

[@LeanBravo]

I was listening to this song when I got the news that my grandfather passed away yesterday. It somehow made sense, in a very beautiful way.

[@Dtrainfan35]

Even though this song is basically unknown, it is by far my favorite john mayer song. Good stuff

[@capnbear]

@25Ragz Battle Studies was actually a really well-crafted album that wasn't necessarily meant to showcase just guitar but John's whole musical ability. The layering that went into all the songs - Heartbreak Warfare, Edge of Desire, Friends, Lovers or Nothing and Assassin just to name my favourites - is crazy and to say that it 'isn't a good album' is incredibly insulting to the amount of effort he obviously puts into his music.

[@karmasubba3863]

Im 7 years late, but Battlestudies feels the most John Mayer musically!

[@UsernameStartsWithU]

I'd love to see a B-Sides & Rarities by John with studio versions of this and songs like The Hurt and the Hotel Bathroom song. I think it'd be amazing and I'd buy it in a heart beat!

[@daddychan7]

UsernameStartsWithU throw Taking on Water in there too. I'd have a breakdown.

[@caleblim6890]

DaddyChan drop in a high quality version of Lifelines and I’m in.

[@tigerhunter8878]

Also A Break in The Clouds!

[@xxmspattinsonxx]

3 years later and i can't pull myself off this song. love it so much

[@jacksonkr_]

My fiance and I recently called the wedding off and broke up. This song really hits the spot right now.

[@boringname5567]

I feel you man.

[@Elijahm7]

Hope all is well 10 years later man

[@garretth0707]

@@Elijahm7Make that 12.

[@niekvanwensen]

He sounds so true and emotional especially in the choruses! I know he doesn’t sing it flawlessly cuz it’s pretty high but it’s even better this way to me😮‍💨

[@randai9517]

4 years laterafter you posted this video... Everyone listen to Paradise Valley and shut up. He has done it once again. Thank you John,

[@markulous08]

I'm pretty sure this was at his concert at the San Francisco Fillmore right after Katrina. He was there for two nights. I went to the first one and it was a great concert.

[@chaferbud]

That makes sense. When I downloaded it, it said "John Mayer Trio" and I was didn't believe it. Now it all clicks. Thanks man.

[@idawilliams3528]

Heaven Knows....that is so true. ..and still I believe in love ...2 👄❤👄❤👄❤👄 love me some John Mayer ❤

[@idawilliams3528]

You make me want to cry ....love you John Mayer ❤👄❤I here and I find the road home with you ❤I stayed ❤👍

[@spidrmage]

this is a hard reality for many songwriters.

[@JuanPabloChvz]

@vodoochild994 im personally impressed by the new singles and how John has evolved, and you really have to take into account the way he writes/composes because he really bases it all in his personal situation, It has some kind of Bob Dylan feel to it, I Love the crude pain and misery in this rich songs.

[@McFilipa30]

i'm so glad i found this song, it's beautiful :D JOHN MAYER ROCKS !

[@vivaseussonhos]

beautiful lyrics

This is one of my favs!! Thanks 🙏

Come on 2021! Great post!👍🏽👍🏽

[@jenniferanncurie1900]

In love this song is awesome

[@capnbear]

@25Ragz He's said that it's not better than Continuum, it doesn't mean he wasn't happy with it. It's always going to be hard for him to top Continuum because that was a fantastic album, but that doesn't mean Battle Studies should be completely disregarded as being any good. Also keep in mind that it is a concept album based around juxtaposing love and war, and you can't say he did a bad job in putting that idea across - in fact i think he did that very convincingly.

[@urbanmonk95]

I'd like to hear both a studio acoustic version of this and a studio "suped" up version :)

[@chaferbud]

no this was at a trio show at the fillmore in CA in 2005

[@SEMPU]

Perfeita!

[@junioranheu]

Tão perfeita quanto aquela música que vc criou: Sambecca's train

[@snerddarplol]

Like the "I'm portable" on AGT, which was awesome.

[@2011Ohmygoodness]

I like it. It has a nice sound to it.

[@maadcat]

considering it's not even released yet... good one

[@BDFRproductions]

I vote for this

[@jmforlife83]

this pic is of him is sick ... i want a pic of me like this on stage... hahah

[@MattyFettuccine]

I thought I lost this song. Leave it to Chaferbud to restore my hopes!!

[@chaferbud]

you heard correctly, you can hear the final version somewhere on youtube

[@PeterAnnello]

Anyone know what the percussionist is hitting there? Congas? Djembe? Sounds nice

[@maadcat]

its on the screen in front of you ;) just press your keyboard's Print Screen button and paste it in to Word, and email, Microsoft Paint (or equivalent on the Mac)

[@TheyreStillOutThere]

rockin the charley strat.

[@lmobiousl]

@johnnnybruce Does not matter what he promises. He always comes up with something new and different. There are so many elements to his music. You cant just say "too much pop stuff".

[@DeusEx328]

i'm sure it will, just that i'm into blues so i like what he did in continuum and try!.

[@davedaape]

Seriously why is this song not for sale, I want this version!

[@marienessa5673]

this song speaks for me.......:(

[@ArchieBagnall]

The song was first performed on the opening night (or second night) of the John Mayer Trio tour in 2005. The song never made it further than that I don't think except for one or two more performances. A lot of songs were written during the trio tour that ended up on Continuum, Vultures for one, this one just didn't it would seem. Nice song though.

[@NinaBVx]

what a great song! too bad can't download it..

[@Copywriter85]

"Heartbreak Warfare" sounds like U2's "Bad" But Im still a huge Mayer fan. Seen him 8 times, never gets old.

[@jross286]

i hear ya. i agree with you. he totally bombed that crossroads cover on his new cd. and whats bad is he usually plays it well live but not on this cd.

[@JohnnyBruceMullerMusic]

@mabie551 Yeah I agree, Battle studies has way too many of the pop stuff, he promised the guitar fans to be more interesting to them on the next album. We shall see

[@JonSteiert]

@Levidamanguitar: yes...they are. There was a write-up about it in his hometown paper. Look it up before you say something stupid.

[@KlaskeyProductions]

i totally agree...

[@wondrrpondrr]

@shru589 U forgot "Heartbreak Warfare", most definitely one of the best songs he has written.

[@jennypennypocket]

So sweet. Nice way to learn the lyrics. How much will I retain though?

[@paigerocks884]

Yess

[@ilovejohnmayer22]

i agree, heartbreak warfare is so freaking good

[@chaferbud]

WOW how'd i miss that one? lol

[@whtvrlo]

yeah man.. I really thought that too.. but maybe he's making blues after this album... I HOPE..!

[@mbasketball3315]

Awesome

[@marienessa5673]

gold

[@Guitar4ever777]

seems like unless you release an album that sells more than continuum or battle studies you can't criticize I prefer continuum to battlle studies but they're different albums. I can still listen to continuum when I'm in the mood and a new John Mayer album is just that. A JOHN MAYER album... let him release what HE wants. I'll support whatever direction he wants to take it and if you don't like it don't buy it and work on releasing your own music before you criticize one on today's music legends

[@PeterZeeke]

If nothing else, he’s brave

[@Lippreader]

@RideLXbindings that was my first thought too

[@jerowenlugte]

John mayer's new album Battle studies 17-11-2009

[@eligosnick5806]

The Fillmore, San Francisco 7/9/2005. Download song or entire show for free on Internet Archive/Live Music Archive. Only time I have been to west coast, but honestly I was underwhelmed by the trio, and don't get me started on Dead and Company and their butchery. Need a cure for insomnia check them out.....

[@chaferbud]

hahahaha i was thinking the exact same thing! plus he already has the heart of life and only heart... he's got to mix it up a little lol

[@DeusEx328]

because the album isn't released i haven't heard most of the songs? good one

[@Kostas1601]

How the heck did you get all these awesome unreleased JM song recordings?

[@2911sagar]

he is mayer in disguise

[@Cam5slyfly]

I agree

[@RideLXbindings]

this sounds very coldplayish

[@amandayeoh456]

i'm sure battle studies will be just as awesome as continuum

[@Spanish1014]

if this is a really recent song like pretty near to march 1st when this is posted then i think it might be a battle studies song that he was trying out live...apperantly he is playing random shows unnanounced to try his new music out

[@Friendshipadams]

i heard you hear from the version with aaron neville

[@cait__l]

I need this. Is there anywhere I can download it?!?!

[@universalblues999]

Me too. i haven't heard any cool guitar parts or solos yet. It seems like he is going back 6 years to the old simplistic JM (which isn't necessarily bad, i guess). Not what I was expecting though...

[@Dtrainfan35]

Where/how can i get/download this song???

[@musicinmysoul77]

Who else hears "Shadow Days" in this song???

[@wazupjaghetermaya]

Is there anyone who knows if it's John that's written this song?

[@JonSteiert]

@Kolster33...seriously? hurricane katrina? that was 4 years ago now. Continuum would have been the album for a Katrina song...this about his parent's divorce...think about it

[@wazupjaghetermaya]

@Ethonadon10 okay thanks :)

[@clintkennedy8387]

💔

[@GianlucaTidus]

Heartbreak Warfare vibes here

[@chaferbud]

listen to heartbreak warfare, the studio version. your concerns will vanish

[@memyself8]

Is there an mp3 for this song?

[@Aardvarked88]

Why would he put a song that's both older than the trio album and written for somebody else on his new album?

[@eh-jay-music]

@voodoochild994 Look at Continuum and "Waiting on the World to change"... Enough said.

[@chaferbud]

i really love when people argue on my channel. grow up!

[@christianpaulmusica]

Did Mayer write this?

[@brittn44]

Battle Studies isn't as much soul as the others...but it definitely has some. Sure there are several pop tracks on there, but they're pretty darn good.

[@Oiihui]

He's John Mayer, obviously.

[@shru589]

@voodoochild994 The new album is amazing! Esp these songs - Assassin, Edge of Desire .. JM rules!

[@Kolster33]

This was written in response to hurricane katrina

[@FraserJames1]

ah, well i knew it was some disaster of some sort in the US. What a guy!

[@samdtall]

except for the fact that a lot of this album was made with the trio.

[@EricPerkinsMusic]

Chords???

[@daliksheppy]

@alexanderthemarsh if you're going to be like that, i'd rather you be back at sea.

[@chaferbud]

umm i think he's a guitar god.

[@giovonti]

THIS SONG IS OLD PEOPLE. I think it was written after Hurricane Katrina.

[@bcmhayes]

yeah wow thats weird he's not a voice crack kinda guy i guess it happens to the best of us

[@paigerocks884]

@chaferbud I thought that was a given lol.

[@bahaanaldo]

I think this song is possibly pertaining to Katrina. Just a guess.

[@kdense08]

I heard he did this song for Katrina relief.

[@DeusEx328]

i'm a little dissappointed with battle studies so far, was really hoping for another blues/rock album

[@vinschreurs]

I have.

[@flovaa]

nah. this is more like his room for squares. this is what he used to be
