Pretty sure the CA to Tokyo aspect of the song is a nod to John's trips to Japan when he was supposedly going through some things during the "Battle Studies" days. He also has more than a few Japanese tattoos from that phase when he was really into Japan and their culture. Additionally this song is from his Born and Raised album (right after Battle Studies), which was largely shaped by the time he was holed up in his home in Montana escaping troubles in the limelight and recovering from a serious vocal/throat surgery (he wasn't supposed to speak/sing for ~6 months). Naturally, he was into Bob Dylan, Neil Young, CSN&Y, and etc. during that time and it's pretty apparent given the simple compositions and simple song-writing/story-telling on the album. Great song. Great video, MP!

Actually he bought the house in montana when born and raised was almost done it was mostly cut in electrical lady studios in manhattan (long hair days and whisky whiskey whiskey) these are the shadow days. paridise valley I think is more indicative of montana (he actually lives in paridise valley on the yosemite river near livingston) Undoubtedly the biggest shift in jm music from battle studies to burn and raised and like you said what he listened to heavaly influenced his writing
@FikriIzzaldin2 жыл бұрын
he also wrote this in a period where he got slapped in the face by his own ego & words in the media & interviews. That period was his wake up call, and the shift from the douchebag-excessive talking Mayer to a more mature & zen Mayer began here in Montana, where he reflects on a lot of things. The Born And Raised album is very honest and reflective

I have never heard this song before. I can not believe the impact that this song has instantly had on me. After two combat tours and 19 years in law enforcement I am down to only 23 months left before retirement. Lately I have been reflecting a lot on my life and how many close calls I have survived. My wife and I watched a documentary several weeks ago about climbing Mount Everest. I made the comment that I thought it would be cool to do that. Her reply back was "you've already, almost done it it". I was like what? She said "the day you retire you will have survived more and have seen more than most people alive. Enjoy the rest of your life in peace and know you did a good job." This to me drives that home. Now if you will excuses me I got something in my eye.

Nothing has motivated, and excited me whilst at the same time filled in all of the gaps and showed me the next steps as effectively as yours.

This song is fantastic. If you haven't heard it yet, check out the album version. The instrumentation on it is absolutely beautiful, it opens with a mellow muted trumpet line and the background harmonies really elevate it in my opinion. You also mention how he succeeded but to me it seems like it's left rather ambiguous whether he actually made it alive or not, yet all the people who doubted him still admire him for trying it. "They smile when they can, as they speak of the man" has a melancholy tinge to it that makes me think that his friends are sad that he's gone but respect his dedication to something he believed in.

I always found this an interesting song and a possible metaphor for johns own life and for me it’s highlighted by his line where the operator connected the call from Tokyo. John always had a special connection with japan and its culture as you see it in his tattoos and in some of his other songs (I.e. who says). That’s the biggest hint for me that this may be an allegory for his own life.

What I've noticed about Mayer's brilliance is that he takes basic chord progressions but alters the chords in such a unique way that it makes it totally his own sound. Like in the beginning of the pre-chorus, he plays that ii chord, but it's strange. He's actually playing (as far as I can hear) G#-B-A#-D# in an arpeggio and it's so odd and so haunting. Crazy brain that guy has.

And sure, he died, but he made it to Tokyo, and they named the bar after him because he died daring to live an adventure nobody thought was possible. I guess he could live too, and then return home and open a bar with bragging rights of having taken a homemade vessel across the Pacific:)

Really nice playing at the start. Your videos with John Mayer are an instant click for me to. This song is bloody brilliant. Really reflects what Mayer was up against as a singer songwriter at that stage in his life. And he is a master story teller and very subtle. The whole born and raised album, brings the listener to a different place and time. John also took a chance, because he went in a completely different direction with his music. His fans kind of wrote him off initially for it. But people are starting to realize how good his take on "Countryana" music really was. Can you review some Carlos Santana?

"When you're done with this world, you know the next is up to you" "She accepted a call she never expected" "Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking.. at the bar, with his name on a sign" And John said that he likes people coming up with their own interpretation of what happened and what the song means, so he had never confirmed or denied anything before. I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone, but there is a live stream that you can find on YT of John saying if Walt made it or not! ;) Such a beautiful song! Good choice for your review 👌🤘

Thank you. I watch these videos and try to talk through them with you to double check my work. As a drummer, I ducking love theory. Talking through progressions, it all helps all of us be better musicians

He's such an incredible acoustic singer-songwriter, like Ed Sheeran or and brace yourself, Taylor Swift. I can see where the attraction came from because it must take an immense talent to try and relate to someone like John. And all that talent is strangely separate (but connected?) from what he becomes when he plugs in the electrified steel-string.

Great video Michael! Love that acoustic. I feel like John Mayer's music and perspective changed and matured, for the better in my humble opinion, after playing with Dead & Co.

Can't see too many mentions of it, but that little phrase you played, completely off the top of your head, at the opening of this video, is stunning.

Dude. Thank you for what you do and this video. Amazing song and lesson. I started my practice 5 years ago on grit and prayer and it’s amazing what we can do when we work with our communities and serving others most importantly believing in ourselves! Still hope to jam with you when this crap is over (I’m a drummer in Bethesda) and maybe take some lessons to improve my skills on guitar too. Cheers brotha and thank you and have a great weekend. We love you too Brotha!

I looove JM but funny that the first verse vocal is the exact same melody as the Jonas Brothers chorus in "Love Bug" 😂

This song helped push me to go back to school, to prove myself wrong and see how far I could go, just for the sport of it. I’m having so much fun!
