Jon Gomm - Everything

The guitar tab has full super-detailed performance notes to help you learn the song.

'Everything' is the 3rd single from my latest album, 'Secrets Nobody Keeps'.

It's a twisted love song. It's about obsession. It's the song I had the most comments about from the album, which really surprised me, just because it's so prog - nearly ten minutes long, two time signatures, shreddy guitar solo, even cameo appearances from other songs...

It's played on my guitar Wilma, through a Trace Acoustic TA200 amp, designed in Britain by amp-genius Paul Stevens. Massive thanks to Tom Allen of Trace Acoustic for producing this video.

Audio mixed and produced by Whiskas, engineered and co-produced by Jon Gomm. Mastered by Tom "The Frequency" Woodhead at Hippocratic Mastering.

LYRICS:

I'll tell you all of my fears
I'll tell you all of my shame
If you'll just lend me an ear
That's all I want

There is no word I can say
There is no chord I can play
To make me more of a man
And that's all I want

That's Everything...

Take my hand I'll lead you and we'll never be alone
Take my hand I'll lead you and we'll never be alone

The city's making you ill
It's like you're running uphill
Let's jump off the treadmill
Just close your eyes

I'm gonna build you a house
I'm gonna build you a wall
To keep you safe from it all
Just close your eyes

That's Everything...

Take my hand I'll lead you and we'll never be alone
Take my hand I'll lead you and we'll never be alone

Back at the dawning of time
When god made Everything
He had but one thing in mind
To make you mine

You're everything to me....

He doesn't play guitar, he actually plays "with" the guitar.They cooperate, for sure.

[jessekayne]

Still coming back for this gem. I love it, Jon! Thank you.

[genhanks]

7 years later... I'm still mesmerised by the music you produce <3

[KaiFerrara]

Perfect example of using the guitar as an extension of your body and soul. Absolutely beautiful.

[Relysti]

My favorite part about this video, and all of Jon's videos is the fact that you can visually see the thousands of hours he spent practicing on his guitar. The part of the process people don't usually get to see.

[carltristynfletcher]

How on Earth were you able to develop this?  Absolutely stunning.  I have been following music since I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and I can tell you I've never seen anything like what you can do.  I've seen a lot of the tap and scratch guys but nobody with your sense of timing, use of space, and You can sing too????  Man, what spaceship did YOU get off of???

[Goshoonkeys]

I love every bit of this 9:57 minutes, but mostly the end, when Jon blinked, as he'd just left his very own dimension, which he created within the music. It looked like pure evolving by self awareness.

[Lethean]

It's been a few years since I listened to this, and when the Running Up That Hill section started at 8 minutes in every hair across my body stood on end. Chillingly beautiful.

[ultramondal]

There's a bird that drinks only rainwater. In Bengali, we call it 'chaatok'. It spends most of it's lifetime looking at the sky, waiting eagerly, for the rain to come, to quench it's thirst.

Please do an Indian tour, Jon. We've been waiting for you more eagerly than a chaatok waits for the rain.

I made a new video. You can watch it here: Jon Gomm - Everything

If you like it, please share it with your friends. Without online sharing, I'd have exactly 3 fans, and two of them would be my parents.

The song is called 'Everything' and it's the 3rd single from my latest album, 'Secrets Nobody Keeps'. It's a twisted love song. It's about obsession, really. It's the song I had the most comments about from the album, which really surprised me, just because it's so prog - nearly ten minutes long, two time signatures, shreddy guitar solo, even cameo appearances from other songs...

[alcionefrancioli]

This is such a magical feeling transmitted to all of us, I believe it can only be achieved by pouring your soul into the creation of your art, Jon surely puts his soul on his work that's why we couldn't help but to go along with this armonic vibrations, music is life

[Nosirrah]

This is still one of the most important songs in the soundtrack to my life. Thanks Jon.

[harveybirdman]

i absolutely love the 0:31 when he taps the body of the guitar and makes the low E just perfectly blend in with the entire mix of that part and adds that little sweet spice of just doing a quick hammer on / pull off on that note while it was still ringing. it's brilliant

[kevinechard]

Awesome talent! Stumbled across this song/video just after the passing of my mother whose battle with pancreatic cancer came to a halt, 1/03/2015. No more pain. Thanks for my healing process and Everything.  

[MrSmithy]

This... this is real; this is so perfectly and empathetically human; so bold but yet so tender; so enchanting. This is music.

[jongomm]

I'd describe it as Acoustic Emo-Funk, but if I did nobody would listen to it. But it's had 44, 518 views since Monday so it can't be that bad. (And it's had 7 dislikes. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I HAVE HUNTED DOWN ALL SEVEN OF YOU.)

[ckane]

Anyone who can hit dislike on this mans music does not know music or the appreciation of music and what it takes to be this caliber. A master song writer, producer, and musician at its best!!!

Very few songs in this world have the ability to shake my soul and sometimes bring tears to my eyes with such purity and beauty. This is one of those songs! 👏🏽

[andrewknapp]

I've seldom seen a man so in touch with his guitar. Like many of the veiwers I am in my mid-sixties, I grew up during the birth of pop and rock of the 1960's and always followed new music as it presented itself, but this surpasses anything I have seen for a very long time. He deserves international recognition.
