John Mayer Heartbreak Warfare Demo

[AdamW69612]

GAY

[dbfruer]

sounds like a standard rythm on a keyboard :D awful!

[DrFee7good]

I didn't know owl city did a cover of heartbreak warfare

[hugohorse]

terrible vocoder effect on the vocals, or maybe just a crappy auto tune.

[Lippreader]

is it a girl or a boy singing?

[FreaquedeMusique]

wow cool autotune! xD

[TwinkeeSTiD]

I think you should do the rest of the song. I'd like to hear a full version of this.

[UWHAT07]

thanks for wasting 46 seconds of my life

[infectionofes]

wooops , meant to add more. YOu should really do a full version on this man. This is the BEST cover i've heard of this song man. No JOKE. My girlfriend thinks the same thing!

[infectionofes]

full version!!?!?!?? Do it man! THis is GREATTT!

[infectionofes]

and your voice is fantastic man.. damn i wish i had a killer voice

[infectionofes]

This is a badasss room!!! I could play my guitar in here for days!!!

[sjessebronson]

@infectionofes me too, I think this is in JM's house... dang to be rich, haha, thanks for the nice comments

[hamdenfraekke4700]

I thought it was a nice try! you are so close to have something very very great. I'll give it 4/5! Lower the volume on the drums, and raise the volume of the guitar a little bittle tiny bit! And then do yourself and the rest of us a favour, and please finish the song ;) . Cheers!

[songbyrd100]

Jess I hope you don't mind me saying this, but your voice reminds of that Owl City dude. Every time I hear "Vanilla Twilight" I think, "That sounds like Jesse".

I love this, btw.

[cookiecrisp1518]

that was kinda bad. i like the original by john mayer better.

[sjessebronson]

@cookiecrisp1518 me too, it wasn't intended to be better ;) .  I just like the song, and messed with it for a minute...

[tienloc47]

this is something. When are you gonna recreate the whole song?

[sjessebronson]

Well, for the record, I am horrible at drums... no offence meant to Mr. Steve Jordan.

[dfsffd666]

Bobby D- Not sure if you're being sarcastic. Don't really care either way.

[fortheloveofthesound]

That's really good.

[danlschtued]

love your voice!

[aplee2006]

Turn off the autotuner.  You don't need it; your voice would probably sound fine without it.

[TidalWaveRider]

Jessie, i have an incredible band and after listening to this clip, we all agree that we need you as the lead singer. We need to cut a new record together. Since we've written the music for the band's new record you can do a Rob Thomas type move and be part of our band's album while releasing your solo LP. Is there any way that we can contact you?

[RightOnBobbyD]

ill sing foor you

[libertyfalls]

You sound like the guy from Owl City.

[honkiemarge]

@libertyfalls no he doesnt!

[libertyfalls]

I think he does.

[Maryse017]

You're incredible ! that was awesome !

[dfsffd666]

Pretty cool. You have a drum fill in the middle of a phrase though, and Steve Jordan would never do that. Just keep the beat simple, lay it in the pocket.

[RightOnBobbyD]

stfu dude....who gives a fuck if steve jordan would never do that.....this is his ownn shit.....that said....man wat the fuck...why do u have a drum fill in the middle of a phrase...the almighty steve jordan would NEVER dream of doing some stupid fuckin thing like that...get ur life on track man...cause with that phrase in the middle of the phrase ur goin noo wheeree in life

[hottestproducers]

Nice!

[TwinkeeSTiD]

I like this one man. you should do the rest of the song.

[MrKajesh56]

you sound like the singer from death cab for cutie

[CallumTully]

haha you're so right!

[lbuch914]

yikes. this is pretty awful...nice autotune...nahht!

[sjessebronson]

I didn't use autotune on this.

[sqlife]

do the rest? it's quite a wonderful take on the song.

[LimaUniformLimaZulu]

A John Mayer song that isn't even on CD and there are already youtube covers. Amazing. Go trace the mona lisa and call yourself an artist.

[sjessebronson]

Yeah, don't think I'll do that. P.S. - Plenty of reputable artists have painted their version of the Mona Lisa, there's no greater show of respect than emulation

[LimaUniformLimaZulu]

Stephen Colbert once said, "There's a difference between imitation and emulation. If you imitate someone, you owe them a royalty check. If you emulate them, you don't."

[sjessebronson]

touché my friend... touché. I hope it's not too bad I simply enjoy the song and to sing it, I recieve no profit from singing it and making in, just the joy that is music. I write my own songs too.  No offense taken or meant

[aleks825]

Actually seeing that all the videos have been removed by Sony Music Entertainment on the Battle Studies channel, it's probably not him. :(

[sjessebronson]

Thanks for clearing that up, that would have been amazing if it were him...

[aleks825]

Wow, you have a comment from John Mayer (BattleStudies) saying that you did a fine job with this! Not bad!

[sjessebronson]

Is BattleStudies really John Mayer himself?  That would be pretty sweet I have to admit!

[JMSRVJH]

battlestudies is not john mayer!!! it is a fan made site!! it is not john mayer... there is nothing about the song Cry and a Yawn.. plus all the demos are audio rips from mayer's channel

[sjessebronson]

My gut told me it wasn't! But I'll still pretend it was, j/k. Thanks for helping clear that up!

[aleks825]

hmm well JMSRVJH, maybe you're right. I still am not sure. Anyway the best way of finding out is to search around for a link to this Battle Studies YouTube channel on his website. That way you would know for sure! :) I tried looking but couldn't find one, please let me know if you do. Thanks

[sjessebronson]

I looked for one too, and didn't see anything about it on his website, plus, I figured a comment from him would come from his "mayermusic" account... It was fun to think of that though!

[aleks825]

Yeah, I think it would come from "mayermusic" too. Good job anyways though, he would probably say the same thing too if he heard this :)

[chaferbud]

yes, he's definitely right. go to "mayermusic" for john's real channel. if anything gets released, believe me, he will have it himself. and check out my channel too while you're at it, i've got plenty of JM songs you may not have ever heard of.

[jazzy250]

Thats aweome! You have an amazing voice!!

[BattleStudies]

You did a fine job with this!

[sjessebronson]

Thanks! I only had a clip from the mayermusic account for the beat, etc! So it is what it is, but it was fun to work on, maybe I'd better complete it, haha!

[ericsuppes]

you sound a lot like Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie.

[sjessebronson]

Thanks!

[Neptunade]

Crap. And you stole the name of one of my better friends, get copyrights to the Bronson name, then we'll talk about how you really did on this.... (half-lol)

[sjessebronson]

Lol. I don't know that you can copyright a name...

[Number1Billy]

nice work...great voice!!

~BZ~

[hellokittycat00]

im pretty uneasy when it comes to john mayer covers, but you put your own twist to it, i like!

[cmg815]

One of the few who can actually vocally cover a JM song.

Well done!

Ps.

Can't get over your voice :)

[sjessebronson]

Thank you so much!

[I4m410v3dru9]

awesome :)

[amen9225]

hey bro this is keeper stuff i hope it comes out like this!

[TidalWaveRider]

Your voice is simply brilliant.

[Mauritzz30]

Wow great voice man!

[EddieVedder13]

@Mauritzz30 sounds like he's got some auto-tune going on there

[AntiHegemonic]

you definitely have some major talent man....keep it up man

[heney89381]

digging the guitar. saw a video on john's website, at the end they played the tune for like 15 seconds. love it

[sjessebronson]

that's the version I was working from! I'm trying to get together all the parts to record it and with more acoustic guitar in it. Thanks! Oh, and please rate if you could!

[ybiawl83]

sounds good man!

[sjessebronson]

Thanks! And Thanks for putting my version as a video response to yours!

[sctctr]

Sounds great Jesse!

[diecartin928]

well done !

[sjessebronson]

Thanks!
