[Coheed14]

12 people have little dongs or poor vag odor. this song is too good.

[Coheed14]

[flower010ful]

best song ever'

[flower010ful]

i love this song<33

[KevinTheKraut]

DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG. ENOUGH SAID.

[kissxthisxx]

the beginning sounds like the opening of American Beauty (film).

[TaylorTheTower518]

This song is nothing less than amazing.

[Jaylasplenty]

I think I might need a cardiologist after listening to this. JOHN!!! I would give you many babies...and a hell to the NO to a prenup! Te quiero papa chulo! Que Dios Te Bendiga! This song hurts, so good...that's the best way I can describe it. It got me typing Spanish.

[zippyx11]

this makes me think of jungles

[percussionist771]

@zippyx11 I know!! why is it? ..lol thats the first thing i thought when i saw this.. it also makes me think of avatar for some reason.. musically speaking, not lyrically

[AbdullahEagle]

This song is excellent until it reaches 3:18, then it starts to get noisy. This is when I skip to the next song on my ipod. This guy has a wonderful voice but doesn't really seem to put that much heart into making his songs anymore.

[mrsuperbroes]

Best Song from the album

[urblegend79]

Agree with you wholeheartedly deadhead.

[phineasgauge69]

Saw him in ATL.....again. I'll prolly see him again next year. He always throws down hard in his hometown.

[deadhead507461]

Every John Mayer song is its own unique masterpiece.. Slow Dancing In A Burning Room, Assassin, Heartbreak Warfare, Clarity, Who Says, Half of my heart, Friends Lovers or Nothing, Gravity, Crossroads... Every song is amazing.

[AlexisLee13]

COME TO PORTLAND OREGON AGIAN SOON PLEASE!

[TheMtRundle]

Can someone tell me what key this in?

[ak231510]

@TheMtRundle its either d or b-minor, from what i can tell the chords used are b-minor , g, and a for the main progression. so its either a 1-6-1-7 progression in the key of b-minor or a 6-4-6-5 progression in the key of d-major, but if you could tell me exactly what chords are used then i could tell you for sure.

[GhostGuitars]

@ak231510 Its B Minor. Even tho B minor is the root of the key you still consider it a '6' chord. The middle 8 is major tho, D major

[silverchair113]

@ak231510 RETARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[ak231510]

@silverchair113 ? why am i a retard with 25 ds?

[silverchair113]

@ak231510 im not going to lie to u, ur not at all ur information is right. I just decided i thought itd be funny to say that to someone for no reason for this i am sorry. but u have to admit its funny.

[TheSmanch]

@TheMtRundle Im pretty sure its D

[AllBlueSS]

I worked a 2nd shift job this summer and I would listen to this song every night on my way home. This is the best song on the album, musically and lyrically. It's so mysterious.

[saberwolfcdw]

@AllBlueSS Couldnt agree more :-)

[CandyRainziR]

Amazing song<3

I favorited it so hard. ;D

XDD

[bteocean08]

The song is so damn sexy! John Mayer...you that dude

[AlexisLee13]

@bteocean08 he is so cute!

[bteocean08]

@AlexisLee13 yeah I'm not gay but I will admit he is the man. I truly feel like he attracts the ladies....play him while your driving and good things happen

[AlexisLee13]

@bteocean08 I Agree His Music Really Connects With Me And I'm Sure Many Others

:D

[QuixoticZephyr]

@bteocean08

As one of those attracted ladies, I approve this comment

[bteocean08]

@QuixoticZephyr haha thank you, exactly my point lol. He even works virtually

[AlexisLee13]

@bteocean08 Hahaha yeah,good things do happen,lol..So ture.

:Dgood call lol..

[speacialperson12345]

love it.

[chukka667]

its too bad the singles from battle studies are all kind of lame, this song is so much better.

[coolbri07]

@chukka667 I agree, but you know the record companies put out what they think will sell. so far, the singles have sounded more pop-y, and people love that. the true john mayer fans appreciate all of his music, but the general public only wants to hear cutesy stuff, so record companies give it to them...lol

[chukka667]

@coolbri07 yeah you're right.

[Jazzzaaay]

Speechless. This song is amazing.

[sharkbaitOO7]

that solo fits PERFECTLY!!!!!

[TheRhymeSayers]

I dident tap my foot or bob my head lmaooo.........WINN. BTW awesome song cant get enuff of it :)

[mickmock1]

DAMNIT FOOT TAPPING DOSENT COUNT %#$@&!

[Darkpansy]

I love this song! I cant get enough of it! And lets not start with the lyrics, this man is a musical genius, literally. He is truly gifted. I hope he makes music forever.

<3

[MembersName77]

@Darkpansy I hope I live forever if he continues to make music forever.

[llacua]

i heard John Mayer broke his arm

[Cbluesrocker]

They should seriously make a James Bond type movie about this song.

[athenan74]

@Cbluesrocker I agree with you completely.

[mktmajor2003]

One of the best songs on this album

[hoping5]

ohh yeah ure an assassin and u kill me every time i listen to you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SonnyxMusic]

This song has been on repeat for 3 days now. I can't get enough of it!

[cynicalindian123]

There's something so deeply haunting about this song.

[inesitaR]

Saw him in Lisbon, i wish he played this one :( Hope he goes again to Portugal :)

[TeamEdward127]

LOVE JOHN MAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DevDhieuTV]

@ichigo4432 aha, you're adorable .

[DevDhieuTV]

john's a sneaky one with those beats,

then again, he is an Assasin.

[ichigo4432]

@DevDhieuTV Lol too bad he died in this song. That girl is even sneakier...

[DevDhieuTV]

@ichigo4432 who would've thought john would ever lose ?

ahhaa .

[ichigo4432]

@DevDhieuTV Win some, lose some. And now your thinking "So true, So true".

[DevDhieuTV]

n@ichigo4432 uhm .. no, sorry . i'm actually thinking about which fruit i should .. but uhmm .. 'so true, so true' that help? :)

[ichigo4432]

@DevDhieuTV Umm...ok which fruit...wo0t! Now your thinking..."Hey, that rhymed!"

[thys0]

[xSophieMCFLY]

[dudewasabanana]

[ichigo4432]

I didnt just bob my head...i taped my foot, sang the lyrics, danced a little and noticed what he said in the info box after the song. I really lose!

[nourthomas]

[motifontheback]

confession: i listen to this song a few times an hour :/

[hilsonblue]

just came across this masterpiece, & after its 12th rotation; will now be playing this before every hunt > : ]. JM's wordplay is unremarkable

[MIKEJONESCHAMP]

i cant even view it ...cause the flash player over updated

[suv32006]

this song is so good i cant listen to any songs after this on the album cuz its so damn good. I sometimes put it on my 5.1 surround sound crank it to 26 and let all my neighbors enjoy this masterpiece... or at least the baseline LOL

[nykballaz]

This needs to be the next single i lov it so much man john mayer so smooth so chill love your music

[hanbree]

my boy friend stole my heart too....but he hasnt given it back yet...and i havent given his back either :)

[1pinksunrise]

Love!

[MP5rules]

My letters, notes, and words make me a deadly assasin, sadly it im not paid. Im just addicted to loving girls. Sometimes though, their smiles can be just as deadly.

[LuNeyTunesZ]

this album has such truth. it's so addictive. especially this song. i'm totally an assassin. smh. :D

[cubsrule72425]

11 days till JOHN !!!

[nucca0man]

...wish I could reach someone like John.... This is not his best song but one of...He amazes me and I'm hypnotized! A song made for people and their endeavours. (excuse my Canadian spelling). Thank you John and I hope the best in all you do! Life, love, laughter and career!....thank you!

.... Love your music

( I realize that I'm not the the best grammatically! I like trying lol)

[407studmuffin]

I feel you for sure hes a talent and i hope he stays around for a while.

[TheViperman07]

John Mayer, is simply AMAZINGGG.

all his songs are AMAZING, & so is his angelic voiceee. ilovehimm!(:

[Underdogjoe]

someone please tell me what kinda effect that is!

[Jaieliza]

Saw him two nights ago and he was AMAZING!! He also said he is 33.

[Timmyp100]

Correct - he would be, as he was 30 for live in LA (where the light is)

[ocbaby7]

saw him last night and he was increddddible

idc about this bad press hes getting, he makes beauuuutiful music.

[emilozer23]

I <3 John Mayer, i want him in my pants!

[RascallFlatts1182]

i love this song.. i love heartbreak warfare  too

[utubin67]

@RascallFlatts1182 sounds like you like to break hearts.. lol that's not good for you.. lol You'll See!!

[RascallFlatts1182]

@utubin67

I love John Mayer.... i mean it... hes just awesome!!

[MADZZxoxo]

[blacpuppet]

[jimihendrixis1994]

@blacpuppet  dude i saw him last night too it was bad ass

[jstep2540]

yeah i went to his show in houston. i was blown away. the whole thing was awesome. the gravity guitar solo with the guitar on the ground....wow.

[MelilloTV]

stowdancer23 he's 33, born 1977.. his song 83 is about him being 6. and his tattoo on his chest of the number 77 is his birth year. and taylor swift will be 20 really soon.. not sayin' that 13 years difference is ok, but I've seen worse lol.

[friendlyniga]

he's 32

[Myndskateboards]

His Dad is eighty and his Mom is like fifty.

[Zack1438]

does john and taylor swift have like a thing/romance ?

[stowdancer23]

.....He's 40-ish. And she is a teenager. No.

[RosalindaT]

@stowdancer23 dude, he's 31 and she's 20...it's not that bad...i still don't think they are dating though

[1JudgeFudge1]

@stowdancer23

If you're not referring to John Mayer, then I apologise.

However, if you are, Jesus Christ, cut him slack, he's 32!

He doesn't even look anywhere close to 40.

[ACE00CLICHE]

JOHN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!

[luebbers03]

I love the BB king style riff in this jam. John is a Genius!!

[cornstar101]

i just went to his concert on February 25th at madison square garden.

i almost cried when he came onstage.

it was an amazing concert!

he played this song and it was fantastic

[fluffythebunny100]

im going to his concert this month :)

[mamasue954]

You are so lucky! He came to South Florida a while back and I just fell in love!

[fluffythebunny100]

i know! i am sooo excited. he is amazing :)))

[MUSIC4URDOG]

hi guys check out my cover of edge of desire off of battle studies on my channel, theres a tutorial on there too, peace.

[smmunoz7]

His voice is so alluring and calming. Very genuine piece of music, in my opinion. This is refreshing to hear something so chill. I love the whole CD. He's definitely going places.

[SuperGamer87]

John Mayer is the greatest musician of our generation today, in my heavily-biased opinion.

[MsAnnieCreamcheese]

ugh. This song is painfully addictive.

[happygolucky2234]

woww just saw the show at madison square garden last night.. this song was creepy cool. just the whole performance of it and the guitar. wow. he's amazing.

[edge18]

seen him both nights there

[shellywee]

My history teacher plays this CD when were doing tests its very calming and relaxing ^^ how i found out about him ask my history teacher if i could download on my itunes

[JujuARod]

Wow, i was bobbing my head and then started to read the comments -__-

[SpreadPeaceAndLove]

The lyrics of this song are unbelievably good.

[fordmustangjunky]

Just went to his concert tonight at Mohegan in his home state of CT! Absolutely amazing!!!!

[laurengail3]

haha i lasted like thirty seconds:)

[23kathylee]

what a sex god.

[DominationVideos]

"Try not to bob your head when you listen to this, I dare you."

DAMMIT. I LOST THE GAME D: I lasted a minute maybe

[jalani13]

lmfao. i was bobbing my head when i saw this.

[Ninjafruit123]

@DominationVideos I succeeded... Just sayin...

[100grapes]

@DominationVideos Lol I was already bobbing my head before i started reading your comment and that was like 10 sec in. lol

[DevDhieuTV]

@DominationVideos i was bobbing as i read your comment, dang.

[Gubby007]

@DevDhieuTV..I bobbing my head when I read your comment...was kinda confused, thats like double irony..

[DevDhieuTV]

@Gubby007 ahaa, darn .



[javelle2941]

@DominationVideos i only lasted 30 sec. lol i love when i hear his voice

[kickinyounow]

@DominationVideos rofl i lasted 1 second xD

[realliferocky]

@DominationVideos i did it, but my foot was tappin so i dont think it counts

[Futureindiestar16]

My favorite song on the album,unfortunatly my crushing on him is over.

[tomboii96]

I went to his concert last night in North Charelston, SC! He was so amazing! When he started to perform this song, i started to scream! Amazing! hope to go to another one of his concerts again!

[jimmyjacksn]

I was there too. It was really good. Great start with heartbreak warfare as the curtain opened.

That guy is a magician on the guitar. Seemed like he didn't run his mouth nearly as much as I expected (I think his rants are hilarious sometimes). I'll definitely look at going to his shows at least once a year from now on.

[subiektywnaplytoteka]

Napiszę po polsku bo myślę po polsku (hehe).Dawno nie słyszałem tak świetnej piosenki!

[abdzia78]

Popieram!! Pozatym rewelacyjna płyta .

[MeTROgRL16]

my friends funeral, and my boyfriend cheating on me. but once i listened to you it made me feel better.

i hope to god ill be able to see you in concert this year.

[cdb655]

@MeTROgRL16 I have been there. i really hope you feel better soon. it does get better.

[dena0022]

@MeTROgRL16 wow i'm so sorry

[IsabellaWeb2]

awesome song!

he made another great album!

[kimmy17x3]

John mayer is a beasssst! another well done song by him.. :) loveeee it alot!

[mamasue954]

Going to see his concert tomorrow night at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida! Sooooooo excited...my first JM concert!

[Renshh]

Awsome song! I'm going to his show the 2nd of June in the Heineken Music Hall (The Netherlands) :)

[LenaTN]

Rock in Rio 2010 portugal :D

[manelfreitas]

@LenaTN Ah pois é :D

[JolaMo62]

i want to go to the concert in the Netherlands.. but.. it is already sold out..

i love this music!

[pureminney22]

Man turnnn upppp that guitar in the last few minutes, such a great riff

[DTnukka]

@pureminney22

yeah forrrreal, sooo good

[Amrit1200]

SUBCRIBE TO AMRIT1200

[GreenRiceInc]

2:07 - 2:32 reminds me of Mr. & Mrs. Smith lol

[HajinLosa]

cant get enough of this

[mishty27]

He has such insight into a woman's heart... not too many men do. I love him for that

[ACompleteUnknown]

The acoustic snippet of this song had me excited. Then when I heard the album version, I was devastated. I'd rather hear the 40 second acoustic clip...

[skapoosh]

damn, this is exactly what i didnt expect from john...but the song, fuck it- it's my favourite john song for the next probably 6 months, like with all his songs. Favourite for some months, then comes the next favourite, and in the end they end up being all the same. Just pure magic!

[1jagbag]

john needs to make a vid of this tune. some hot flexible chick with a dark look to whole thing would set it off!

[ProjectRequiem]

Awesome.

11/10

[equeen222]

i love his music he is the coolest singer ever

[TheMikey1961]

The only track I am unsure about on BATTLE STUDIES is John's take on CROSSROADS.

[bobcatpride2123]

@TheMikey1961. I totally agree. I've seen him live while he plays it, and its way different. I was real disappointed when i heard the album version

[MsMibel]

this song is awesome. 'Battle Studies'' is very good. All the songs are amazing :)

[S7Football]

The best part is after 2:32. That surrealist music is great.

[jonnyrobbybob]

awesome song! this is my song of the week now...altho expected to be good considering its john mayer :)

[obunkystaind]

I was a KILLER, was the best they'd ever seen. I'd steal your heart before they'd ever heard a thing. I'm an assassin & I had a job to to, little did I know that was an assassin, too.

[indianzeek]

This is some Good shit...John You are The Man,,,and i Mean it

[lloved1]

this is amazing, really.

[veggiegirl959]

i love john mayer, this album is different. im still going back and forth on whether it's better or worse than th one's before.

[greyseagirl]

This is my fave cut on BS btw. :)

[greyseagirl]

For me, Continuum is the most mature and cohesive JM album. Everything about it is so beautifully perfect. There's nothing on it that I can point to and say "eh" about. The lyrics and music just dig so deep. "Belief" and "Slow Dancing" just hit me right in the gut when I first heard them. "Slow Dancing" esp spoke to me because my marriage was falling apart despite us both loving one another. I think that album spoke to many in the same ways which is why they compare BS to it.

[obunkystaind]

speechless.

[erikid1]

"War of my life" is the best song on the album.

[haemogoblin2]

album is not as show off as continuum, very different direction too

definitely takes more time to grow on you, another great solid effort

[guitarplayerty]

i think battle studies is a good change for john mayer showing that he can play all styles of guitar and not just be a same old same old artist

[seancaseo84]

@KrillenBobby , what bout heavier things and rfs have ye even listened to his 2 best albums, why all talk of continuum

[ak231510]

uh cause Continuum is the best album he has done by far. That album displayed the level of musican he is. RFS and HT are good but Try and Continuum is when every1 stoodup & took notice of the fact this guy has serious guitar chops Continuum is a perfect blend of blues&pop which hadn't been seen since Clapton RFS&HT may be ur personal favortie, but from a musician point of view Continuum is head & shoulders his best album. Live in LA is the best thing he ever released, but albumwise its Continuum

[AHOLEtv]

perfectly lonely too...great song
