    Chorus:
    I can feel the love I want
    I can feel the love I need
    But it's never gonna come the way I am
    Could I change it if I wanted?
    Can I rise above the flood?
    Will it wash out in the water
    Or is it always in the blood?

    I’m convinced this is one of the greatest songs ever. Certainly one of the greatest folk songs in modern times.

    Sometimes I just sit there listening to a John Mayer song and the only thing going through my head is " I am so lucky to be alive at the same time as this genius"

      When I was about 11 or so, we were playing softball at a family picnic. Almost none of my family is athletic. I was pitching to my mom, who begged me to take it easy on her. She hit a line drive straight into my sternum and knocked my breath away. This song did the same thing the first time I heard it, and every single time since.

    [Verse 1]
    How much of my mother has my mother left in me?
    How much of my love will be insane to some degree?
    And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough?
    Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
    [Verse 2]
    How much of my father am I destined to become?
    Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone?
    Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love?
    Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
    [Chorus]
    I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need
    But it's never gonna come the way I am
    Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
    Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
    [Verse 3]
    How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be?
    Does a broken home become another broken family?
    Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could?
    Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
    [Chorus]
    I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need
    But it's never gonna come the way I am
    Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
    Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
    [Chorus]
    I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need
    But it's never gonna come the way I am
    Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
    Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

      Ayush katheria & that is why he's terribly misunderstood when he speaks as apposed to sings. Music conveys a "dialect" that can only thrive on a higher frequency of consciousness. It's emotion can never be misunderstood as it is intrinsically the heart of man & not his (biased) thoughts. He's truly a vessel for this art. Too few humans now exist at such a low frequency that his music goes over their heads.

      Xenobia 10 I'm sure you went through the NPR interview he gave where he says exactly the same thing you say. The theme for the search for everything is that. Pure music. Pure heart. No adulteration of an unbiased conscience even. Its the purest of JM we will ever see. He says it is more than John Mayer. Let us all cherish this master auteur.

      Montana really didn't have as much of an impact on this style as you may think. Born and Raised was actually written in SOHO in Manhattan at his apartment so it was just the direct he was heading. Now I'm sure Montana helps keep this alive with its serene beauty, but if you write an album like Born and Raised in the bustling Island of Manhattan, nothing will take that vibe from you! haha

    Years ago while driving East from Joshua Tree at night this song came on as the moon filled the valley. It hit me so hard that I had to pull off the road due to the emotions that overtook me. At what was probably the mid point in my life I finally realized the effect that my family had in making me who I am.

      In terms of musicians in the mainstream, you're right brother. He's a true musical genius and a poet. I have loved his work for 17 years now. Sadly there are stacks of great musicians who also write poetry but unlike the 70s and 80s when you had geniuses all over the place, many today will never cut through coz there are too many short-sighted fools in the industry.

    This song absolutely hit me like a ton of bricks. I don't even know what to say, but this song touched so deeply that I began to sob, because I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. How these words and the music can touch a person so deeply is amazing. That's that connection right there that we all share. As long as that emotion exists, we are all connected, even after we die.

    *Pianists* G# - Fm - C# - G# - Fm -D#

    The thing with music, And especially with songwriting, is that you write about what your going through in that time of your life, And the way you are feeling is expessing it self through the music. Thats why every album he made is so different. Expecting him to write another continuem is silly, not because he cant, But because he is simply not the same man he was 10 years ago.

And in the same breath as Clapton, SRV and Jimi in terms of a guitarist. For me, a fan since '00 he's always been there. I've seen the talent he possesses. But again, this artist will one day be in the same conversation with Dylan and Bruce in terms of the best American song writers. And he's already up there with Clapton and SRV and Jimi with a guitar. For those of us who understand and have seen the genius, I'm beyond excited for the ride to continue. For those who are just realizing, or who will one day realize down the road I say, welcome.

  • @johndavidvanvalin

    Mayer is touching a universal human nerve here. "Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?" As an excellent writer does, Mayer questions human reality and experiences through his own story. And it's appropriate for this song to drop on Good Friday. Generational sins aren't washed out with water (e.i. human effort, "Could I change it if I wanted"), but they are only washed out in the blood of the Lamb of God. As Jesus gave his last breath, he declared, "It is finished." My brokenness doesn't have to continue to run through generational blood when I am washed in Christ's blood and filled with the Holy Spirit. Happy Good Friday!
