I sometimes wonder why anyone would fall in love with John Mayer. Then I watch him sing, and it all makes sense. He songs with such passion, so much emotion that you're as lost in his music as he is.
@ushmo10 it's April 1912 here and there's word that a giant ship sank. And yes, I'm on the internet and listening to John Mayer WAY before it was cool.
I'm pretty sure artists just move on to different collaborations, I don't think there was any hard feelings or tension between John and Dave. They just both wanted to make some different art.
@bjhMus1C Dala is such a wonderful bassist! but i think DaLa just dropped because Pino Palladino came, and he just couldnt stood against a LEGEND! Lol
@ManelRuivo lol, well i know DeLa was a little down to hear that John wanted Pino to work on continuum and battle studies instead of him. i think he may have just wanted to do his own thing.
Hey! I'm a 12 year old blues/rock/pop guitar player. John is my favorite musician of all time. I love all his albums and all his songs on all his albums. I did a cover of this song with a really cool solo! It would mean alot to get some feedback/constructive crititicism on it!
This song hit such a deep chord in my life. John Mayer's an awesome musician who moves people to so many emotions, even tears when he sings of past difficult and painful times. You are a star among stars John and keeps using your God given gift to lift people and open their eyes and hearts with your music.
@inuyashaspet i believe the exact same thing,ok Palladino s great session with many famous basslines(he s older than dave tho:P),but that guy s such a low profile player(without pedals,slap ,tapping n blah blah stuff),with great great great basslines:),he s one of my all time fave bassists(the john mayer trio with dave on bass would be great),his basslines are Groovy n make u smile=)
I only half agree w/ VSHawkins. Being a solo musician is tough. Writing all your own fills, leads, and rhythms is hard. You have to be phenomenal to get signed. But I think he also relishes in being clever. Don't we all?
I love this song. My favorite pop song by john is either love song for no one, because i feel exactly like that sometimes. or it might be bigger than my body, because i feel that way sometimes too.
How I love your work John. I wish I was fortunate enought to have seen you perform live last time you were in Australia but alas I watched you on Rove and Ellen with much envy. Would love to meet you someday soon..... Elizabeth
Dumb comment,....mans a genius. Conformed to all your pop needs that he hates to make himself big....now he jams out and plays the blues he loves and is a prodigy at
I almost feel as if the tempo is changing every now and then, esp in the first few lines. (goes faster and then back). The bassist keeps up well with that. Does anyone else hear this?
