hey guys if you like these kinda songs you wanna follow my progress iv just started learning the guitar and iv given myself 6 months to learn and play in front of a live crowd..im loving this song its a great song to play on the acoustic,its going to be one of my first song to learn..great song wish there was more songs like this in the charts nowadays :)
I want this song to be about the desire to break away from what's normal (which would make the chorus "free fallin" about flying, as a metaphor of living life). It fits so much better to the melody and the chorus than the break-up theme it has...
Secondly, this is terrible compared to the original. John is good. But there is no way in the world he is the slightest bit underated. He practically farts on youtube and he has 50,000 views.
his hair is soooo sexy here... it's something about him that is just very sexy..! And ofcourse his voice.. i can listen to him the whole day.. i LOVE it! X
great artist.. he just has an amazing voice and i love this country style guitar playin.. he should really go on tour with brad paisley .. those guys would rock together...
@malms2005 I knooow! Hey if you like this you should youtube Source of illusion by The Armada Men. I found them the other day by searching random vids and they are reaaally good !!! I cant get that song out of my head X)
this has to be the best song of all time, john mayer is a true legend one of my fave artists why does he not come to Sweden to play gigs come on, John get urself over to the mainland lovin the new albulm truly amazing
@marbeh LOL YOURE SO STUPID ..ITS TIME FOR YOU TO CLEAN YOUR EARS AND MOVE ON FROM THE OLD SINGERS....YOU KNOW THIS VERSION IS MUCH BETTER...BUT YOU JUST DONT ACCEPT IT ..ROFLS
@shimabuco LOL ITS YOUR OPINION.. WHAT DOES IT DO TO MINE?? MY OPINION IS ITS BETTER LOL.. AND THAT MAKES ME AN IDIOT? OR YOU ARE LOLS?? AND BTW IM NOT TALKING TO YOU EXCEPT IF YOURE MARBEH LOLS.... AND HELL YEAH I LOVE TO USE CAPS..
this has to be the best song of all time, john mayer is a true legend one of my fave artists why does he not come to Ireland to play gigs come on John get urself over to the mainland lovin the new albulm truly amazing
so many vids posted on youtube get a quick 5-star rating because they're really good, i've done it myself, but this song gets my 5 stars because it is absolutely incredible and because the rating system won't allow for any more.
I love his version soooo much. I dont care what anyone says about the original being better - john mayer makes this song, it is so pretty when he sings it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There are songs that you don't even try to cover....If mayer didn't sing, I'd listen to him a lot more. Never try to cover a tom petty song. It's just not possible.
Beautiful guitar work but vocals not the best. Really can't compare to Tom Petty, gotta think if this was the original version it wouldn't be anywhere near as famous!
hahaha! whoeva sayes the old version is better than this is deffinately a pensioner with no taste in music! This songs so good i thought it was his own. John mayer keep doin it mate
Love this version! Falsetto in the chorus is great and is perfectly in character for John Mayer. Check out my piano cover with my buddy Nick in the video responses section - just recorded today! Originals coming soon to a YouTube near you !! :)
John Mayer IS A LEGEND I don't care what you say he hit every note almost perfectly in that song. Tom Petty did make weird faces, only one person in the world can sing high without doing it.
Are you from Australia by any chance? Because I had a camp counselor from Australia and whenever she was talking about someone she liked she would say, "He's (or she's) a legend!" LOL sorry this was such a weird comment
i go to sleep every night listening to this song
