Jon Gomm - Deep Sea Fishes

[@jongomm]

Lyrics: Loneliness is living When you're swimming in the gloom, Everywhere is silent, Nothing is ever new. An underwater comet, I fly so gracelessly, Open my eyes for a moment, Just to check I still can't see We are deep sea fishes Beautiful to nobody, We are navigating nowhere Blindly through infinity A single point of glowing, A beacon in the dark, The signal of the hunter, I carry the same mark. The distant shape is growing, A ghostly yellow light, O, water slowly flowing, Take me to my love tonight We are deep sea fishes Beautiful to nobody, We are navigating nowhere Blindly through infinity I hide myself from vision, My strange and twisted form, You see your own reflection, I see myself in yours. A fluttering of thermals Holds us warm and close, The things that seem eternal are the things that change the most. We are deep sea fishes Beautiful only to we, We are navigating nowhere Together through infinity

[@MantasticHams]

Oh man i jsut made the mistake of checking out what the Insane Clown Posse has been up to since i last hated them and this was really the antidote i needed for that horror.

[@Rednivrug]

We are navigating nowhere Together through infinity. Words more deeper than deep sea.

[@aldorechiasson]

I wish I could express how happy I am to hear new music but those lyrics, incredible! Please never stop creating!

[@yyathy]

Nice lyrics man 🙂

[@samas4386]

That's deep bro

[@AlexandrMisko]

This is just too good to be true. Jon is such an inspiration and I love the idea with the blinking lights too, fits the song perfectly 🐠💡

[@jongomm]

Thanks Alex, that means a lot. Hope you're OK mate. 🤍

[@bidyutdatta5042]

Have you watched the Luca Stricagnoli newest cover and Mike Dawes Video too @alexandr Misko

[@giorgiatranquilli738]

I love your music, my veins vibrate too❤️

[@solomonnguyen3155]

Such beautiful artistry.

[@SpartanManch]

“The things that seem eternal, are the things that change the most.” - Jon Gomm That line was powerful.

[@DerekDeMuth]

My favorite: " I hide myself from vision, my strange and twisted form" 😆

[@Starcelite]

That was not true when it came to my grandpa's cancer

[@Tobias.Rauscher]

Beautiful! Love the harmonics and ambient feel! 🙌

[@jongomm]

Thanks so much Tobias. x

[@bidyutdatta5042]

Have you heard the Mike Dawes new video and Luca Stricagnoli new Cover

[@Lesterweb]

Ive struggled to love percussive style playing in the past being the old fashioned Merle Travis picking player than I am, but Jon your work is sublime and full of wonders to emotionally and intelligently connect with. Thank you.

[@DingusMcBrungus]

I hope people realize Jon is just as talented a lyricist as a guitarist. Absolutely beautiful all around

[@MAFussell]

The most imaginative acoustic guitarist on the planet!

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Tim Reynolds is up there with him but definitely agree

[@MikeLumer]

I don't understand how this doesn't have a million views or more already. Somebody get this man a PR firm! He's way too talented to not be shouted about from rooftops!!

[@riggityr5587]

He’s not pop. That’s the problem. He’s to good for the masses to like. Shame

[@Pontiacmotorcompany]

I'm a rapper from Detroit MI, and I'm so glad i stumbled upon your music. Insanely talented man, I actually want to rap over this song with your permission. Thanks Man! Stay Safe!

[@jbdrums1987]

First heard this song over five years ago live; been waiting since then to hear it again. Very happy; looking forward to my pre-ordered album :).

[@propstrikerc875]

Me too, he got my hopes up that there would be a new album soon haha. That was not long after she’ll secret nobody keeps came out.

[@calebnorrisguitar4651]

I heard it first in 2015 at Cambridge Junction. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it here on YT!

[@aspergersftw7927]

This is one of the most stunning pieces of songwriting ever created with a guitar. Everything about this is superb in every way. The song structure, the lyrics, the melodies, the rhythm created by the interaction between the left and right hands, the execution, the selective use of effects, the lighting, the way the set and lights aren’t just background, but they’re part of the song in an integral way, and of course the essence of Jon that comes through every inch of this. It’s absolutely stunning. Give yourself a pat on the back my friend because this is one of the best pieces written in years, by anyone, playing anything.

[@warriordrum]

I smile because I have had this effect play upon me several times with a few different songwriters. Micheal Hedges Woman of the World and Aerial Boundaries, Eric Mongrains Pandora's Box, Daniel Padims Song for a King, Jon Gomm's Passionflower. All musicians that transcend songwriting and redefine the very nature of beauty.

[@Buckstain]

"The things that seem eternal, are the things that change the most" , spot on John, and thanks for this.

[@captaincrunch5456]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to. It is definitely my favorite of all your songs right now. You are a bright light in this world Jon. Thank you for sharing that light.

[@jongomm]

Guitar tab for Deep Sea Fishes is available here: jongomm.com/guitar-tabs It's really detailed, transcribed by me, and I wrote 5 pages of instructions walking you through how to play every technique.

[@bernhardkrickl3567]

You're pretty optimistic, aren't you? I guess even Andy McKee would struggle covering that song. ;) Honestly, I've seen a bunch of amazing, impressive fingerstyle guitarists doing similar techniques but you really take the cake. And then singing on top of it all, and everything so flawlessly. Not a single finger movement is wasted, on every movement you play a note or drum a beat. I guess I need to go checkout the new album and consider buying it on vinyl.

[@bucket0rocks]

Thank you sir. It's awesome that you'd offer that up. Even more awesome that you posted this vid. Holy crap dude, great song.

[@antonellooliveri5640]

Thank you for the Guitar Tab. Now I need only two or three additional lifes to learn how to play It correctly. :-)

[@TURBOCAST]

Once in a lifetime an artist comes along that does the most magical things and music that is breathtaking.....that artist is Jon Gomm and I’m blessed to be alive to see and hear his music today

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

Another banger for the books. Beautiful 🌹 man. Just pure beauty.

Dear Jon, your songs, your music is full of small and fine subtleties that make it so intimate and universal at the same time. My respects and admiration. From Chile a warm hug....

[@nastidivan9740]

This song is so important for the humanity. Give me faith in all the song. Thanks jon.

[@HieronimBuszewski]

Woop Woop Woop Finally new Jom Gomm arrivied!!

[@GregLuceMusic]

Wow! That spacing with the verses just kills it! So many musicians need to take note. It's not about how many notes you can play, but the right places to NOT put the notes. Bravo!

[@thepassingmark]

I honestly thought that passionflower was the singularity. But you’ve taken that (super) high point and brought it into another dimension. I’ve always loved how much emotion you’ve put into your songs, and with this new thing you’re doing with the efx and postproduction this song really stands alone!

[@SeekTheTruth205]

Folks, this is absolute pure art free flowing from this man, I've played guitar since I was 10 years old, I've never been more amazed in my 48 yrs on this earth, I mean that, Jon you are awesome, I'm just lost for words

[@CanalFalarFluente]

You are always reinventing music. Thank you!

[@robcastellani]

Yep, you've gone and done it again. Needless to say this is next level stuff not only in technique but in musicality and individuality.

[@eduardomingolo3334]

simply perfection and sensitivity!

[@kyleprice7687]

youre amazing jon... you make me feel happy on bad days and are a true inspiration... when i think things are hard i just watchyou sing, play guitar and play drums all at once... meeting you one day would be an honor

[@kieronphillips63]

The fact you only have 192k subs is criminal man. Fantastic musicianship as always. Looking forward immensely to getting the new album come payday

[@hasielove]

sweet baby Moses this is beautiful! well done!!

[@হুলাবিলা1287]

My very first Jon Gomm experience. Mesmerized. Closed my eyes and when opened felt very positively vibed. A very rare experience. From India..

[@jakeseverson3019]

Unparalleled. Jon, you are absolutely brilliant and by far the most innovative artist I can think of. Thank you for the years of inspiration.

[@calebnorris2406]

Saw this first in 2015 at the Cambridge Junction March 23rd. A treasured memory. So glad I can listen to it again 5 years later!!!!

[@progperljungman8218]

This stuff is really impressive and all - but the real point is how BEAUTIFUL it is!❤

[@sashankvissa2358]

Skill + soul

[@progperljungman8218]

[@ATSULA]

This blew me away! I always suspect Jon could be an angel among us

[@david57strat]

Simply mesmerizing. Absolutely stunning work. Jon, you never cease to amaze me. Very lyrical and flowing. Mind-blowing. And the vocal is icing on the cake.

[@queensopening]

LOVE it my friend definitely going to buy the album!

[@jekosa]

Breathtaking as always.

[@MattKeenanMusic]

The combination of fingerstyle textures and awesome effects really makes this pop. Got chills from that first burst of chords and reverb!

[@MADMAHONEY666]

Awesome and incredible tune Jon

[@Freakybananayo]

One of my favourites on this album, really catchy vocals

[@klarifoon]

Definetly going up being one of the contemporary top guitarplayers. Great playing, ambient sounding.

[@johnsaling6303]

Everything you play seems to take control of my mental DJ. I've been playing guitar for 20 years now and after falling in love with Orville a few years back I've been progressing significantly faster. I live for music like this jon.. you're so unbelievably enjoyable to listen too! Can't get enough Truly, thank you! Always tunin in JohnnyDamnIt!

[@emirjanranara3477]

absolutely beautiful lyrics. just as beautiful as the playing itself. what an absolute masterpiece.

[@owenmitchinson6413]

The production on this is incredible, cannot wait for the new album!!

[@KerryLiv]

Beautiful! ~ As someone with PTSD and other challenges, your description of how this song came about resonated with me, Jon. 'Deep Sea Fishes' is a Sonic Masterpiece shedding light, hope, and love... upon the depths of many a soul

[@b3nj4m1n92]

Sometimes i want to say you have a gift for being that good, but i know it's hard work that ain't no gift, congratulations man you've outdone yourself yet again, you are to me the best acoustic guitarist there is in this world. I can't go a day without listening to your music

[@rudbeckia269]

Can’t even express my thoughts about your songs~ poetry in the rawest form! A close one introduced me to you.

[@JonyKen]

Jon Gomm is a genius! A great source of inspiration! What a wonderful composition, my friend! ❤️❤️❤️ Perfect execution and the scenery with the lights were incredible! 👏👏👏

[@danielmercadogave9557]

Beautiful song! you do an excellent job. Greetings, I'm from Peru

[@dennismenezes9423]

Thanks, always, for the music!

[@mikeefoss]

Wonderful clip, beautiful song and what an artist! Mate, don't stop making tunes... the stuff makes me day.

[@Skippa2009]

Me and my mate Caleb came and watched you in Cambridge in 2015, absolutely sublime, and this was on your set list, and it stood out for us. We tried to find a recorded version to no avail! Thought I’d give it another try this morning after years... and here it is!! As beautiful as I remember 😍

[@lucbazzani]

the best thing i could listen at this night. I loved the commentary in the description about the experience that inspired this song. Thank you for sharing it!

[@tequilamondayproject5089]

Stunning as always. Youre an inspiration my friend...

[@blies4492]

I'm speechless Jon! This is so moving and absolutely gorgeous. Thank you!

[@unfetteredaxes1032]

WOW Jon....glad to hear you again

[@AllisonKraus1]

My God, crystal clear notes with exclusively hammers and pull-offs. Incredible. 3:15 on was mesmerising

[@whiteflag1000]

Love to listen.

[@repoman7804]

Someone comically requests this in the Leeb Guitar Bootcamp video for Gloria, and I was wondering why I didn't know it. I guess you've been saving it. Well worth the wait. Your song writing and performances continue to amaze. Bravo.

[@bryanklotz1732]

So amazing Jon. As usual Sir, your sound is otherworldly. Just beautiful.

[@olegbagriy2895]

Jon, this is too beautiful...beyond any words. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. Your songs are really special and deeply meaningful. They really speak to the soul. I'm amazed by your songwriting talent, your guitar techniques and your vocal performance. It's unbelievable. You're an inspiration to all musicians. And man, you've got heart and soul. Your stuff is seriously deep.

[@pedroandrade8727]

Beautiful as always, also that monster in the scenery behind you... Neat!

[@h.w.h.9113]

Have no words! Absolutely awesome, great and an extraordinary poet and guitarist! Thanks a lot for this music from another universe ... 👍🏻

[@zlatanonkovic2424]

Great guitar effects during that solo

[@jeisonebert]

Jon Gomm is a very good guitar player. His tapping technique is awesome. But what really blows my mind is to see he SINGING while does all of this on the guitar!

[@Mm-ng5tr]

I’m so glad you’re on Spotify now, I used to almost solely listen to music on KZbin so that I could listen to your music lol, and it was a bit of a fuss to set everything up. Loving the new music too, your songwriting is always so unique and interesting. Much love

[@xelfos]

Awesome again Jon!!!!

[@joshuajarman]

Beautiful. Now... allow me to go back to that ol' woodshed.

[@theovergoat]

Been listening for several years now. When I first found you I was absolutely blown away by what I was seeing, and couldn't stop watching. Your music has inspired me in so many ways, and I am so grateful I came across it when I did. The emotion in every song I've heard from you is absolutely astonishing.
