A Very Lonely Solstice

Can I Believe You (Solstice Version)

The song “Wild Blue” is an anthem for the journey of self discovery associated with parting ways with someone you love.

As with most of John Mayer’s more introspective songs, the first verse reveals what it’s all about without telling too much.

The first two lines unveil the hopeless feeling you experience after a breakup while the following two lines expand on how lost and lonely you may feel while indicating that it’s the only way forward as he says “… living off the loneliness.”

Later in the song, he realizes something profound and true that builds off of Verse 1… In Verse 2, he says “And in my sorrow I can see, that missing you belongs to me.” Those words highlight the power you hold in allowing yourself to miss your lost partner. It’s an empowering and important realization to getting over a heartbreak.

The essence of the song is captured in the last two lines with the epiphany, “And you’ll never know, The unlikely beauty in letting you go.”

"Wild Blue" is one of his five singles in the studio album "Sob Rock", released on July the 16th, 2021.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Never seen the sun before
Laying on the ocean floor
Walking through the wilderness
And living off the loneliness, oh

[Chorus]
Wild blue deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you

Yeah, yeah, uh

[Verse 2]
All the tears I meant to cry
Dance across the evening sky
And in my sorrow, I can see
That missing you belongs to me, oh

[Chorus]
Wild blue deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Wild blue deeper than I ever knew
It's a wild blue since you went away
Oh baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you

[Outro]
And you'll never know
The unlikely beauty in letting you go

(Songwriter: John Mayer)
