Just bought his new CD and I love it. A lot of the songs are so chill and it's just the kind of album you can listen to and relax and forget everything. John's got some serious talent and Taylor does a good job in this song :)
Yeah, Taylor Swift is the hottest and I think the most talented songwriter in country music right now. She actually swept away the 2009 CMA awards winning Entertainer of the Year and others. John actually said in an interview that he wanted Taylor to sing on his album because he loved her music and her songwriting. Yes she writes or co-writes her own songs! So no doubt this song has an influence from country music. It's awesome.
haha should explain. In the studio version, Swift comes in for a few lines. I dunno, I just don't think she has earned enough stripes to work with mr. mayer yet.
I wouldn't say that i saw her on mad tv one night singing a song that was basically her making fun of her songs. Since then i gained allot of respect for her.
duh! didn't notice your tabs over there! i was so focused on that song. its quite eclectic - sounds good in harmonica-folk style, sound great in that pop style (like on the album leak) ...
ok well i was listenin to this yesterday and i was scrollin down and saw sheep commen and was crackin up for the longest. its a really great song but now the only thing i pay attention to now is the constant yellin of the word YEAH
Sorry about that bcr0702.. that was me haha... It caught my attention because I wasn't watching the vid, just listening and that repeated and funny as hell ''YEAH'' got in my ears lol Btw it is a song to witch I have lots of expectations on battle studies... this record's gonna be freakin' Brilliant I'm sure
it is the duet with t swift. and hey i dont appreciate her music much either but i trust john's musical prowess enough to know that it wouldnt make the cut if it wasnt gonna be great
Ho my god this is fucking hilarious listen from 3:38 to 4:00 there's this guy that keeps yelling yeah everytime john has a little pause of signing, he sounds like a sheep of somthn lol great song btw!
haha i wish you hadn't pointed that out... totally ruined the entire song and my life now, no but that jsut shows great talent by the guy who had never heard the song before, looks like he snuck back in at 4:40
can't wait for an album version or a different live version so i don't have to listen to the asshole in the background constantly yelling "yeah" after every line. way to ruin it.
yeah, i mean that's very obvious too haha but i just feel that he's been going for that more tom petty feel on his new songs. He mentions tom petty a lot and obviously his cover of free fallin'. I personally think that if John Mayer wants to make a rock album.. tom petty is the right guy to model himself after.
totally agreed. but john has so many influences its amazing. eventually hes going to have his voice after tom, his guitar after jimi or stevie, and the rest of the band modeled after the police....i wonder how that would sound?
hi i'm sorry to just butt in but could you send me a mp3 of this song too and of heartbreak warfare if you have it? Again i'm sorry to butt in but i'm getting desperate for new jm songs! i would really appreciate it!
That's a real bitch move not making the videos available
