Hey my name is Chance and I'm just trying to get my music heard! :) It would mean a lot to me if you checked out my channel. I did a cover of Who Says and a bunch of other songs, and I think you'll really like them if you actually check em out :D I'm trying to get a following before I release a bunch of originals, so Please go to my channel and see what you think <3
Amazing, I love the little Melbourne detail, and how he doesn't always change it! Just makes this one special! :) Watch the vh1 storytellers with him talking about this song and performing it..just made me love it more!
I like it how he sounds exactly like his album version. Thats what I love about him. He doesn't sound different, which is what I want when at a live gig
you are right about his diff style and sense of song structure.....but this song does has its own bridge..it comes when a usual bridge does after the 2nd chorus......he plays around with the chords a little durring this part in the song...... but you are right most of his songs dont have all the same bland structure as that of todays pop, and pretty much anything out there.........they follow and abide by what they think is the right stature....john sees things in a whole different light..hah..
I love it. For people who wants to see a real good way of playing this check out my cover, give me some feed back and ask for help. Ill gladely give it :)
I am so bummed that i didnt win the JM contest. I created my own snippet for the contest and wrote the son and recorded it on garageband and it actually sounded pretty good.. and the lyrics represented why i was the one who is the biggest mayer fan... I just couldnt figure out how to send it correctly and i had to send the live version which no where near as the good as the original i had made... damn i will give my left nut to see john mayer in NYC on nov 17th and meet him..
i like this song a lot. shows progression from his last album.
i've stumbled across a new artist that really reminds me of john mayer in the early days.... similar voice and style of song. check out KEVIN ROWE UNCUT SESSIONS of youtube. he's amazing and like an early john mayer.
i can't wait for battle studies to be released - a long time waiting!
song sounds good.. but the meaning of the song.. doesnt sound like something he would sing.... hooking up with a chick and not remembering it?? john mayer was never a player back in the day..
@Heyitsbao: i intrepreted the song differently! I thought it was more like John saying "I've been on this same lon night out for 6 years, meeting so many fleeting people that I just wanna stay in my house alone, maybe go to japan, and not keep up the facade of crazy john 24/7".
And so that line "then again I don't remember you" isn't gender specific... just I've met so many people I'm sorry if I forget you, i just need to concentrate on personal stuff.
Pino is a part of the Trio. David Labruyere is his regular bassist (or used to be). I'm not sure if he still tours around the U.S with John but he was on the Where The Light Is DVD.
Considering that David Ryan Harris is black and the bass player in this clip is white I'd think twice before I called someone dickhead! You might come off looking like a real dickhead yourself.
