this man makes better music with a guitar and his voice, than most bands achieve with a full album studio work (and even then fail). God bless him, and keep him among us for another 100 years! :) P.S.: John, as you age, don't forget to renegotiate! ;)
John Mayer is one of the only people today who is making classy music again. So I give him alot of credit for that. Also, to those people saying that a song with two chords is too simple, it's not about complexity, it's about making a song thats dynamic, melodic, meaningful and memorable.
im also a fan of John's work, and what you said about complexity is so true its about the message of the song, what do you think of Jack Johnson then?
The bridge has F#m and a G. But, some other good songs are mostly 2 chords. Edwin McCain made a career out of E-A ballads. However - true enough - not John's most musically challenging song. If John ever has a successful romantic relationship, what will happen to his music career? We'll miss out on all these great "I Hate You Now" songs!! Keep burnin' through the ladies John - love these breakup songs!
USATwitch, I feel exactly the same. I found the sonds a couple weeks ago and just was not feeling it. Then as I walk around the songs pop up and just refuse to leave my head. So I came back listened a little more and now I am really excited for the latest from Mr Mayer!
John Mayer in my opinion is the best lryicist of all time hes so talented he can jam out to some heavy blues or just make a simple acoustic chord song sound amazing....keep up the great work John cant wait for the new album
john mayer is amazing. but as far as being the best lyricist, that would just go on personal taste. I personally like jason mraz lyrics bcuz he's so clever with his word play. like the song "word play". but i still like john mayer music better than jason mraz. they're both incredible!
I agree. except his "simple" chord songs aren't that simple, they just sound simple. his style is pretty hard to play if you're a standard guitar player that just uses a pick...
very true. i've been learning his songs for the last couple of years...NOT easy if you're a beginner. Most of his simple songs range from intermediate to advanced. "Neon" kicked my ass for the longest.
I haven't even attempted looking up the tab for neon lol. I have a huge problem with imitating other people's songs, don't know why, I'm just ten times better when I jam with my own stuff.
Like alot of Mayer's songs, this one has grown on me. The first listen didn't do much but the ones after did. That's how Mayer's music works for me. Anybody else think the same?
I agree with frances, when i first heard parts of his new album i was kindof dissapointed but the more im hearing them on youtube the more they tend to stick to my brain on the drive home.
Damn it, his music has nothing to do with her!!!! He has is own damn life!!! He is talented enough to write an awesome song without a muse!!! His new album will be off the hook because he is simply a musical genius, not because of some chick!!! It has never been about a chick, if you haven't noticed by now!!! It's about the MUSIC!!!!!
First of all fool, I ain't no budd! I am a woman! Second you are a fool, and thrid you are still a fool! I'm not going to waste my time explaining anything to you!
You are a special case of idoit!!! You and the rest of these fools need to get a life and stop worrying about WHO he is writing a song about because it doesn't matter if its about some dumb blond or about some slut idoit like you! You miss the point. ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC U STUPID FOOL. DON'T SEND ME NO MORE MESSAGES!!!!!
Wow, this is a very very intimite song.. You can feel his breakup-sadness. John Mayer is master in putting his feelings into his music, i love that about him.. When i listen to his music i exactly feel how he felt writing it, he's a master..
i feel bad for him, its a sad song... but then again he kinda sounds like every other guy with a guitar who's GF breaks up w/ him....good song though.
In my opinion, this song is great. The strumming/music has that perfect fast paced feeling of a break up happening before your eyes and you can't slow down enough to do anything anything about it. I can't wait for record #4.
hmm i definitely like it, gets better with a few listens, and of course if you look up the lyrics on try jm :)... BUT i love HOMH, and i love taking on water.. so this gets third place in my battle studies rankings
Totally agree! Taking on Water just isn't clicking for me. I keep trying to listen to it, but my first impression remains...something's missing (lol...pardon the pun).
i hear a lot of people complaining about this album as being a break up/post break up album...look at the majority of continuum...heart of life, stop this train, slow dancing, bold as love (even as a cover fits), dreaming with a broken heart, IN REPAIR, find another you...it's the same theme and continuum was an amazing album first track through last track
John was great as always. I can imagine what the album might sound like just based on this song and " half of my heart" I love john but im just worried that his album would have a "post break up" feel to it. But he never disappoints. Battle Studies will kick ass. Thanks for the post.
awesome awesome... "that makes me nervous" haha, wonder what the songs about??? hummmmmm love it thought. can't wait to hear the version on his album
sounds like .....heavier things album... the acoustic pop stuff was great stuff i personally think the lyrics were better written....although continuum..kicked ass instrumentally
...i hope the new album has influences of his first 2 pop albums and his blues side...
I hope he records the acoustic version of this without too much fluff.
Don't get me wrong, I love ALL of his music.
But since daughters we haven't really had a more acousticy sounding song, and just the meaning of this song seems close to him with what just happened and it sounds so sincere and relatable on acoustic. I dont know does that make sense?
He played the electric version the 1st night on the boat, I have the mp3 I can email it to you, or you can listen to it on youtube, search heartbreak warfare, and click the one that's an illustration of the boat. user name is ybiwl83 I think
this man makes better music with a guitar and his voice, than most bands achieve with a full album studio work (and even then fail). God bless him, and keep him among us for another 100 years! :) P.S.: John, as you age, don't forget to renegotiate! ;)
