The Search for Everything: Wave One

John Mayer

Four tracks of pristine, guitar-driven pop-rock. A masterfully produced meditation on the messy distinction between moving on and getting over.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a guy with a very expensive guitar and a very broken heart trying to figure it all out.

A sophisticated, mid-tempo meditation on the lingering echoes of a lost relationship.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the bluesy, mid-tempo groove of Moving On and Getting Over where the bass and drums lock into a tight pocket.
The stark, Randy Newman-esque piano and whistling that carries the emotional weight of You're Gonna Live Forever in Me.
The shimmering, reverb-soaked guitar lead that opens Love on the Weekend, evoking a sense of wide-open possibility.
