  • OH HELL YEAH!!! LOVE IT!!!

  • yeah!!!a

    

  • Sooo SRV

  • I hope to find a girl to keep me off that fuckin plane

  • johnny my boy, you write some damn good music.

  • "I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THIS MUSIC. I FULLY RESPECT JOHN MAYER AND WISH TO SPREAD HIS MUSIC TO DIE HARD FANS EVERYWHERE." lolol I love you for this

  • wow...Trio would destroy this holy god

  • Why was this never released?!

  • put this on a fucking album!!!!!!!

  • put the lyrics :D!!!! <3!

  • I love how that chainletters final word in not in caps, I don't know why honestly.

  • @norrismantooth Good composers borrow. Great composers steal.

  • @SilentlyintheShadows Change Composers to artists and you have a Lewis Carrol quote

  • Bass Towards the end is fantastic

  • yo chaferbud, is there anyway you can send me this song on my email?

  • @FreaquedeMusique not an official recording just a concept record where he sings the horn intro but its so sweet. the vid is caller "John Mayer - Can't take that plane (Stripped & Full version)" had a hard time linking it...

  • one word: Perfect :D

  • how did this not make it on the album? use both this and waiting on the world!

  • This actually was the first song on Continuum, until they decided a couple of days before the final cut was finished, that this didn't have the feeling continuum had..

    so they made WOTWTC the 1st song/single instead of this one!!

  • @FreaquedeMusique wish he would've kept the horn intro :/ still a rly good song!

  • @TubaPlayanator in This song? Where did you find a track with a horn intro?!

  • absolutely fucking incredible.

  • put this on a trio album?? would be sweet as..

  • Belongs more with the trio than with continuum

    great song though

  • Very simple, he is te best....

  • damn i wish i could write this type of music...

  • I love this song

  • thnxxx

  • He should have put this song on the record!

  • How wrong I was when I thought Continuum couldn't be any better.

  • How come he never does this song live?

  • should have put this on try

  • On the late night twitter post radio shows he did last summer he said that if he had chose to pit this song on continuum he would have released it instead of waiting on the world to change.

  • @shifty02 in my opinion that would have been a great win.

  • @shifty02 Wow. Good think he didn't put this on the album then. I mean, I like this song but Waiting On the World to Change is GENIUS.

  • I think this song was released as a bonus for pre ordering continum on iTunes cause I have it

  • only the truest and realist John Mayer songs love this song cant wait for the heavier guitar playing on the next album

  • if anyone has a copy of this I would love it if you could message it to me please!

  • i can see why this wasnt on continuum as the song follows a slightly style then the rest of the album but still this is just completely awesome!!

  • Great song ... and lyrics :)

  • I love John Mayer.

  • better than the entire album of heartbreak

  • Comment removed

  • can you please send me the audio

  • I want this.. SO BADLY if anyone has a HQ copy could you please contact me? I hate youtube rips. I would appreciate it very much!

  • Wow! That was really good...I'm not sure why it wasn't on Continuum. It would've at least been a bonus track!

  • thank you steve jordan

  • swEEEET

  • It's a damn sweet song, but I can understand why it didn't make Continuum. Would be perfect for a Trio album though..

  • well done john. you've done it another damn time.

  • i wish this was on itunes ):

  • Love the song and would've been a great album opener, but it definitely would not have gone with the rest of 'Continuum'

  • reminds me Bigger Than My Body...

  • Unknown songs that doesnt appear on his albums are just as good as the songs on the album some even better!!! thnx for the upload.

  • very hendrixy!

  • does anyone know the chords to this song

  • @alex4732 its in E. and the chorus is E, D, A. The verse is Cm7, E

  • @dwbryant3 sorry i meant C#m7

  • The base line is so dope on this song. Bummer he didn't put it on album. This song just makes me wanna dance!

  • I like this song it's catchy and it's got a good beat. I don't understand why the record company didn't want to put this on Continuum. I'd rather hear John rocking out a bit than all the love songs he's been doing lately.

  • Oh come on. Grow up.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a pretty big Mayer fan and honestly I didn't really like this song all that much... but it probably should have been included in the album.

    Mayer's gonna put out a real blues solo album eventually, guys... just wait and this will be on it.

  • how can i get this song??

  • JM needs to release this one.

  • Omg, this song inspires something exuberant, something so damn unique, so damn precious. Ah, John has done it again!!

  • I guess a lot of his friends said they liked all of continuum except this song because it didn't exactly go with the r&b vibe of the album. It would be a nice trio song though I think.

  • hmmm.... damn. why isnt this on the album? it has much more of an edge to it than most of the songs on battle studies. whould have been a great addition.

  • Sounds funky

  • Love this song, :D gunna be my new ring tone :D

  • its just you.

  • It isnt just u

  • why is he so damn nice!

  • WOW!! hey can u send me this song?

  • What is the chord progression on the chorus?? Can't figure it out by ear for the life of me. C'mon, musicians.

  • Had a few minutes to spare so thought I'd see if I could work this out. Not sure if my guitar's in standard tuning so don't hold it against me if the key is wrong but I have the verse as being over an E, the bridge as being C#m, E, C#m, AB and the chorus as ED, AB (I'm playing the A as an inversion power chord, so x47xxx)

    Hopefully this puts you in the right direction. Bits of it could be wrong (for example, I'm not sure whether the B in the bridge is there or whether I just want it to be!)

  • The last chord on the bridge is definitely a D Major, a really transitional chord to get back into E... you can hear the bass walk from the D, C#, B, A and then resolve to E for the chorus. Other than that, I think your chords are probably right.

  • ha. first it sounds like bigger than my body. when he was singing.

  • Can you send me the mp3?

    thanks

  • I love the chords on the hook. Probably didnt get on Continuum bcuz it dusnt really fit in with the other songs. but i love it!

    you can use the website 'gazzump(dot)com' to transfer youtube videos to mp3's, just copy the URL into the box :)

    JM = LEGEND

  • Nevermind, found it somewhere else.

  • Is this on Battle studies.... Prolly Not... I wish though!!!!

  • He should perform this with the Trio :)

  • This song deffinitely would not have fit on continuum, but its still amazing.

  • The sound of this song's chorus reminds me of back to the future. ha ha. it's cool man!

  • Haha I totally was thinking that!

  • Does anyone know where i can find the mp3 download to this song? i want it so bad!! :)

  • too bad this wasn't on Continuum, i like it :)

  • this is that jam

  • This song is awsome! John Mayer's music is the best ever :D Does anybody know the tabs or where i can find it?

  • I was wondering why this sounded so weird.

    Then I noticed that I had the same video playing at different times in two different tabs.

    Sounds much better now. :)

    And great song!

  • This is "Head-banging-with-a-cigarette­-between-your-lips-and-your-av­iators-on-with-all-of-your-fri­ends-lipsynching-in-the-conver­tible-and-on-a-road-trip-down-­route-66" music.

    Rock on, John.

  • Excellent. Just went there in my head, and it works quite nicely. Well done, sir.

  • @soundlaboratorium agree 95 %, im a ray ban guy tho

  • @soundlaboratorium Oh My Goodness Yes!

  • @soundlaboratorium This reply is coming a year late but god what a perfect description.

  • @Arigot Nevertheless, still much appreciated!

  • @soundlaboratorium read this and started banging my head... awkward

  • This would be a great movie-track.

  • am gonna getcha! lol :P

    John you rock my socks off! :)

  • free youtube converter!use this progam

  • I love it!!! Where do i find the MP3??

  • Anyone know where I can find the MP3 download to this song?! I love it and I want it on my iPod!!

  • PM me your email adress, and I will send it to you.

  • @mayermusik Do you still have the MP3 of this song? My YouTube version just isn't cutting it.

  • sounds more like his trio's songs than his pop stuff. But I do hear the resemblence to "bigger than my body"

  • would be a good theme song for Final Destination, but it would have completely thrown off Continuum's tone.

  • Hard cool, John. Hard cool.

  • Sounds nearly identical to "Bigger Than My Body" in the first verses respectively. "got a ticket for a trip I wanted long ago, staring deep in the crying..." sounds like "This is a call to the colorblind, this is an I.O.U."

  • Mayer can really write a great song.

  • its a great song for sure...but if u look at all the songs on Continuum, and then think of adding this song to it, the mood just wouldnt seem rite...i think continuum is amazing as is..

  • how did this NOT make the cut? this is unbelievable.

  • This song is the shit.

  • How many fucking songs has John Mayer written!?

    The man's a genius.

  • yes your soo right!!! he's amazing!!

  • why didnt this song make continuum :( what a bummer!!! sounds a lot like bigger than my body

  • MAYER IS GOD

  • yess men!! your right!

  • This is Clapton meets the Jackson 5. haha pretty sick

  • This is John Mayer.

  • haha touche. I mean like the feel. But well played, sir

  • It's a damn shame he didn't put this on. I hope "Battle Studies" is similar to this

  • i thnk hes making battle studies kind of U2ish , i was kinda hoping for another blues thing but im sure i like it

  • Half of My Heart demos sound U2-ish, and kinda of the Police-ish. The police are his favorite band.

  • this track is ridiculous, PLEASE SEND ME THE MP3

    :(

  • Wow, this sounds like Bigger than my body! (during the verse)

  • Has a bit of a Clarity feel meshed with some Hendrix and Clapton. Solid groove. I love it.

  • anyone feel that this is a little like 'Bigger Than My Body' crossed over some trio work?

    Wow, i cannot believe there is some music by mayer that i haven't heard! So happy to be proved wrong!

  • ME TOO

  • absolutely, totally agree.

  • Thenk you soooooo much for all the videos you published!!!

    The early John is fantastic!!!!

    Great job for all this!!!

  • early johns is a stepping stone to what later john can look back on and laugh at.

  • Thanks for posting - I thought I'd found all the Mayer around, but I'm happily proved wrong. Thanks!

  • im sure that robert randolph playing at the end of this, sure sounds like him

  • haha thats john

  • a good song to play while driving , feels like "Life is A Highway"

  • Definitely showing his SRV colours.

  • had this been on the final cut of continuum i dont think it would of really complimented any of the other tracks and was probobly left out due to the tone of the song the upbeat vibe would really have been like a bad mix tape (my opinion only guys) that doesnt mean the songs bad it just woulda seemed very out of place between beleif and gravity and vultures does anyone agree

  • I do. This is a chill-ass song but it works better with the trio or something like that.

  • yeah, makes sense to be a bonus song. cus i would have been pissed to have to wait for the next cd hahaha

  • I agree.

  • I concur.

  • Comment removed

  • it means wank me but with a P

    PM obvious no?

  • very hendrixy tune.

  • This is pretty cool bluesy song, but in some ways I can understand why it didn't make the final cut.

  • im surprised we didn't see this at least when he was touring? did anyone see him play it? Great song thanks for the post!! :-)

  • send this to ME!

  • it is a cool song. however I can see why he took it off the album. it does not really belong Continuum. more like a Huey Lewis and The News cover album. "that the power of love"!

  • ya, it doesn't really fit in with the mood of the album....but damn this song kicks massive ass

  • chea totally agree but why hasent he performed it live??

  • dont know how this didnt make the album. amazing song

  • this is friggin AWESOME. where can i get it? can i get it on limewire?

  • thats where i got it... but like the week after continuum came out. I honestly don't know where to find it now.

  • Thanks for posting!!!

    I love it!

  • where can i get this song?

  • haha awesome bluesy-rock song

  • Even thought John Mayer is my Idol and musical inspiration , i would never tatoo JM on my left arm....

    SRV damn John

  • i would

  • i will

  • If John Mayer died in a tragic way I might do such a thing. I'd find it a little weird to tour as a younger musician with an older living guitar legend's initials tattoo'd on me.

  • I was actually planning to do so :P Not at this moment, but in a few years maybe. Don't care if it's original or not. John is the only musician who's music I've listened to as long as I do now. :)

    But actually I liked the idea of the 3 squares on his fore arm with the Japanese drawings in it. Perhaps I'll have a tattoo inspired by that

  • I would. Stevie Ray is something different though; a special guitarist. I'd get something Hendrix related tattood on me. personal opinion. But i rekon that SRV looks cool on JM.

  • Hey guys anyone who wants the tab for the intro send me a message and ill send you the URL

  • That would be a good name for a follow up to continuum.

  • haha whoever marked this comment as spam just made my day

  • It has something lenny krativz-like aswell. But ye obviously a good song. It's john huh..

  • WHERE CAN I BUY THIS?!

    Please tell me..
