The Search For Everything
Wave Two Digital EP

Description
After releasing "Wave One" in January, Mayer acknowledges that, as he shares more of The Search For Everything, the autobiographical picture it paints is coming into sharper focus. "I actually, for the first time in my life, believe I recorded exactly what I was feeling," says Mayer, who describes having experienced a deep and unprecedented sadness following his 2014 break-up with Katy Perry. "It was the only time in my life that sadness was like a lucid dream, like, 'Oh, I'm here. I got no business trying to get out of this, because it won't work.' It was like learning to live in the wilderness."

His most ambitious recording to date, The Search For Everything is the result of more than three years of sessions at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. He started in August of 2014, taking breaks in the past couple years to tour with Dead & Company. (After a solo tour this spring, Mayer goes back on the road with that project for another 19 U.S. dates this summer.) Mayer detailed the making of the four songs in "Wave Two" of The Search For Everything.

Track List
1. Still Feel Like Your Man
2. Emoji of a Wave
3. Helpless
4. Roll it on Home

John Mayer will be playing Jones Beach this Summer. I've never been a fan in general but have become impressed in his later years with his guitar playing with Clapton and his love of the blues, so seeing him is on the plate.

I've merged all of these threads together. Hopefully we'll have pre-order details for the full album (and a physical CD) soon. Eric's second post in this newly combined thread shows the two digital EPs which Mayer has released so far in the leadup to the new album.

I updated the tracklist for "The Search For Everything". According to Mayer's twitter it will contain 12 tracks. Quoting him, "12 made a better album experience. Trust your boy". This twitter response was to answer a fan's question of "what happened to 14 tracks on the new record?"

I updated the release date, stated in a New York Times article on 3/22.
