[Qybo]

[Tdizzles1000]

Like the shout out to Boise. Representing the Gem State!

[dancerhaven]

Hes songs actually talk about something other than bitches and money

[thehiptonics]

Started playing this in my band in Boise Idaho and people dig it. Love the Motown vibe Mayer puts out. Saw it first on Daryls House. Awesome vocals and production. Love it love it!! Keep it up Mayer.

[OleVidarOve]

[paulienebz]

Push the Hall and Oates button!

[damascosfritos]

The white boy with the biggest "soul", if you know what I mean...

[letsdreamthatdream]

@damascosfritos lmao

[Joneo19]

and i just have to quote tyler, the creator when he said: "Mayer Hawthorne makes real ass nigga music"

[ilikeboobies185]

Mayer Hawthore = Soul

[salpi23]

this is bad ass, way better than most of the garbage put out today, thank god somebody is attempting to make a musical difference...I know have hope, if every artist tried this hard, I'd actually turn on the radio in my car... lol!!

[buddydog1956]

@salpi23 I'm with ya man.....I just head an interview on NPR w/ this guy....

never heard of him before....but his music made me get off my ass and turn the radio up some more.....Seems he's carrying the Ol Motown sound back ! Thank God!!!!....grew up w/ that music...it'll be w/ me forever!

[imcoolurnot3000]

@pharaohsoulero if you like this song check out some of the song he has done on here he done over halls&oats i cant go for that. plus he done this song with the group called chromeo its even better

[kLaOyYlOeLeA]

@textbookXlovely this is waaaaay too cool for vs!

[imcoolurnot3000]

my boy sounds like a modern day michael mcdonald he got some soul in that voice

[pharoahsoulero]

@imcoolurnot3000 yeah i was getting the doobie bros during the harmonies

[BonBon3589]

This song is an ode to Detroit, he talks about the Auto-Industry (Henry Ford), the birth of Motown (Berry Gordy), the obvious economic crash, and rebuilding... He's awesome. Love how you give Detroiters hope, Mayer. We'll bring it back.

[breadbagel]

do people dislike shit so they can be "the first" hater... clowns have no respect for the foundation of music... i used to say oh thats that tribe called quest song or damn nas beats are ill.... Its all sampled oldies... it all comes from the golden age of motown kids. respect it.

[Bunechunk]

@breadbagel

May be a 9 year old without the capacity for such respect that simply clicks out of bounds of reason lol. They just might grow to be ashamed of their distaste some day!

[plgplgplg]

This is King right now

[CitySkin09]

That's a bad jam...

[youcantbeatmyawesome]

Mayer Hawthorne is better than dope

[onethreeabc]

WWMHD?

BRILLIANT ARROGANCE [dot] COM

[Hestiff]

Mayer is just straight up dope!!

[SINWGN]

Liking this guy........has a Curtis Mayfield esk going on,....a modern day soul man

[Teezerk]

@MrDrewbie001 sir are you really trying that hard to annoy the fuck out of everyone

[bangbanggrind]

This song is dope and thanks for posting. With that said, I must endorse the version that is set in a detroit public access tv show. Either way, this is funky and keep telling people about him - two videos have broken the million view mark.

[gljack08]

@bangbanggrind yea thats how i heard it first...from a post on itsnicethat

[radiofuturamusic]

I think it sound like Hey 19, by Steely Dan...but who cares. good music

[jgk381]

@radiofuturamusic funny, "come see about me" by the supremes comes to mind for me. mainly the bridge/chorus

[boogiechillen123]

Someone told me to check Mayer Hawthorne out and i thought 'great another hipster awful sounding band'...but this is really cool

[NewWaveIsDaShiz]

Best artist to come out in the last decade.

[bigtig4life]

Sounds like Electric Light Orchestra's "Evil Woman". Nice.

[ELOSHAZZY]

@bigtig4life You are right it sounds just like the Evil Woman riff but that is no surprise he is a huge ELO fan.

[CHskatefan]

amazing.



[Will187villa]

All day we are bombarded by shit on the radio....and then i hear this and believe in music again! Thankyou Mayer!

[wawabugga]

who THE FUCK disliked this?!? come at me bro

[HOEZLI1111]

Great song. A catchy mixture of Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers.

[SweetLifeLoverNo1]

@HOEZLI1111 Hey!I thought that too!I love both of Steely Dan and Doobie brothers!Yaaay I'm not the only one! :D

[JoliePIT9]

@SweetLifeLoverNo1 I love them too. I have Steely Dan's Aja album. This song reminds me of Feist's "One Evening" just sped up a little bit. That's a good song too.

[SweetLifeLoverNo1]

Yoo guys who likes this kind of music then you should listen to Steelydan!!!

[TheMatildax]

Fatastic!Check out the Chromeo remix for a more housey spin

[TonyArrison]

Good Steely meets Curtis. Amazing. 

[aarontienstra]

Steely Mayfield!!

[Iljosja]

Reminds me of Steely Dan

[falcor815]

Put your hands up for Detroit! "Oh, Barry had a record store Started up a studio Oh, West Grand Boulevard Turned it into solid gold Oh, people all around the world Tunin' into radios Welcome to the Motor Town Buckle up 'cause here we go Oh, Barry was the end of the story, then everything went wrong And we'll return it to its former glory But it just takes so long" Thank you Mayer Hawthorne!!

[somnambulance]

kind of giving me a steely dan "hey nineteen" vibe... into it!

[Aarja]

It is my morning tune!

[brotherpate]

Yea man, "Buckle up cuz here we go" I'm feelin that!

[emelymallmann]

Adoro o estilo de fazer musica do Mayer... não consigo parar de ouvir, estou ansiosa pelo novo álbum.

[jakemo4242]

this is the first time I heard the CD version and live version is SOOOO much better than this.

[dekim99]

come to NZ Bro return it to former glory!!!!

[thedhalirama]

When I heard his first album I was throwin my fist through the air, Mayer shows he's done his homework and comes with yet another great track, you know you've played this more than thrice... He's EXCELLENT live as well.. EXCELLENT! His band the County kicks your ass. Every one of those players are the mierda in their own way.. And harmonize together to give you that head bobbin feel, puts a full smile on your face.. Get your tickets kids. =) Peace.

[pemdas010]

So dope, its the perfect track to wash your car to!

[sannevisser]

Lyrics anyone? tx!

[Creepshow53]

THAT IS BOWL OF SOUL THAT I WILL HAVE WITH MY COFFEE EVERY MORNING.

[TheUzume32]

killer sound...can't wait for that new album to drop

[renerdrgz08]

[pedroteixeiradamotta]

O melhor concerto do mundo? Foi ontem, no CoolJazz Fest em Cascais!! Inacreditável!! Mayer é o rei

[klastiaan]

Steely Dan, Curtis Mayfield, Beegees even Boy George comes to mind. Big ups 2 the Mayer. Can't unrepeat this..

[TerraRyzinglives]

This is superb. It's like a love letter to Detroit and two of its icons. I like this progression in Mayer's writing.
