John Mayer Solo Song To Be Basis of New ABC Drama

John Mayer’s solo tune “The Heart of Life” will be used as the basis of a new ABC drama.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show – called Heart of Life – “follows two sets of adult siblings from wildly different worlds who discover they are related and must reassess everything they thought they knew about their shared father. As they explore the mystery of their separate childhoods, they’ll experience the difficulty in overcoming the sins of the past, and learn the joys of reuniting with long-lost family.”

Officially, ABC ordered a pilot for the series, so no date is known for a premiere. Mayer will serve in a creative role as an executive producer of show.

“Some songs have a little extra story left in them.” the Dead & Company guitarist said Thursday night via Instagram. “I’m excited to work with some hugely talented people to help tell this one. Thanks @abcnetwork for the opportunity.”

The song, “The Heart of Life,” comes off of Mayer’s third studio output Continuum, which was released in 2006.
