New announcement at the end of the video!!! Kicking off a new project! Let's see what we can "mess up!"

So, here's the first tune in a long series of covers, I'm really excited to see where it goes, and I'll definitely be trying my best to mess things up as best as I can. This first tune has always been on my list of tunes to cover, but I never really quite knew the style I wanted to do. Recently, I was re-listening to the "TRY!" album by The John Mayer Trio. I remember listening to "Good Love is On The Way" more than a couple dozen of times. I was at work one evening, humming it and just jamming for a little bit, washin' dishes, etc... And for whatever reason "That's why they call me Loyalty" seemed to just... shove itself in there. No idea why, but I remember realizing that it worked well. So I went home, wrote the lick, and made the super hard decision as to whether or not I wanted it to be in major or minor.

That literally took a couple of weeks, I'm not kidding you.

So here is my concept for Loyalty: John Mayer meets AcoustiMandoBrony! I wouldn't quite say that this is exactly John Mayer, since I'm nowhere near as good as John Mayer or Pino Palladino.BUT I still tried and I really like the result. I hope you do, too!

Lyrics:

You see me soaring through the sky
I see you below as you walk on by
I could clear the sky in 10 second flat
How about that (How about that)

I could be sitting here on a cloud
Watching the sun as it starts to go down
the only thing missing
is you by my side

give me a smidge of confidence
give me a speck of something that makes sense
give me an idea of dependency
give me a dash of loyalty (Loyalty)

I could save my lonely soul for you
but the feeling in my heart can't follow through
you can give your broken heart to me
cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

The sun shines bright, yet the rain pours on
rainbows here one minute and then they're gone
they remind me ... of me and you
what did you do?
what did I do?

determination in those eyes
where has it gone? has it said goodbye?
a lot has happened
but I'll stay by your side

give me a smidge of confidence
give me a speck of something that makes sense
give me an idea of dependency
give me a dash of loyalty (Loyalty)

I could save my lonely soul for you
but the feeling in my heart can't follow through
you can give your broken heart to me
cause you know that i'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

Time stands still when you're with me
how can i make you see?
your crazy antics make me want to scream
your name so loud till my throat starts to bleed
Aw yeah yeah yeah.

(Solo)

I could save my lonely soul for you
but the feeling in my heart can't follow through
you can give your broken heart to me
cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
but the feeling in my heart can't follow through
you can give your broken heart to me
cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

That's why they call me loyalty
