I'm 68 years old and thought I have heard it all. But this one really touched me in ways that no other has before. What an incredibly beautiful song, and the blues riff is one of the finest.

[@crzyces1693]

I'm with ya my man. Reminds a lot of _"Prince."_ ei Were he still alive I could 100% see him singing performing this song. The guitar similarities are uncanny, the way on occasion you can't distinguish it from his voice (or vice versa) as they both convey so much raw emotion that's chaotic, almost pleading, but somehow still under control.

[@mattmorris2867]

@@crzyces1693 Nothing like Prince at all. What are you talking about? Lol.

Hey I'm 80 and I'm with you all the way on this. I think his best song ever is Gravity, and I've listened to various renditions of it probably a hundred times or more, but this guy is really special and this song made me tear up the first time I heard it not even halfway into it. Thanks for posting, I'm glad to know I'm not the only person into senior citizenship who thinks this guy and this rendition are bleeping AWESOME!

Mayer used put importance on originality. Now hes just regurgitating a whole decade of boring ideas. I bet the 80s sound is pretty neat to fresh ears. But to the rest of us it's a thousand wrong turns that led to the most excessive decade in the record business. That solo has almost no relationship to the song other than being mostly in key...typical 80's 🤷‍♂️. Hes John Mayer, his bends shouldnt bush league....

[@woohoodalejrfreebird8789]

Is it just me or does he just keep getting better and better? I used to be like “I wish he’d do more albums like Continuum”…but now I’ve realized JM gonna follow his own vision and man am I glad he has because he’s a one of a kind talent.

[@chiragprajapati7159]

that " do more like Continuum and now i realized ..... " same thought... and it is absolutely true

​@@TheTommyCraft Definitely appreciate Mraz's songwriting, he's got some beautiful songs. But I'm sure you'll agree with me in saying the subtly juxtaposed combination of Mayer's voice, lyrics and guitar chops just... works. A beautiful, complimentary trifecta of talents that you just don't get from most artists these days.

It isn’t anywhere near as technically accomplished, but you can’t help but hear the fun Mraz and his band is having and a lot of his music lifts your spirit regardless. Mayer is another level though, no doubt.

John Mayor thank you for the musical “train”, your songs have shown me along with other my story of my life, and the state that I am in. I have recently lost a friend to her pushing me away, and later finding out that something happened to her, so thank you for everything, your songs have kept me going along with others so thank you.

[@AGUIDA]

A guitar solo that makes you literally cry. John you’re on a league of your own, an absolute master on your craft. What a privilege it’s been ❤️

Lyrics... "Last Train Home" If you wanna roll me, then you gotta roll me all night long And if you wanna use me, then you gotta use me til I'm gone I'm not a fallen angel, I just fell behind I'm out of luck and I'm out of time If you don't wanna love me, let me go I'm runnin for the last train I'm runnin for the last train home If you wanna know me, then you gotta know me through and through And if you're gonna hurt me, then you gotta hold me next to you No matter how you work it, things go wrong I put my heart where it don't belong So if you're comin with me let me know Maybe you're the last train Maybe you're the last train home I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender I surrender

just when i think i can't love this man enough. just when i think i've heard i needed to hear from him. just when i think he's reached the peak of his talent............he drops this.

[@Rguxman]

If you haven’t seen him live… I’d tell you please save some money. The way you’ll feel there has no price. It’s insane the emotions you will go through. And if you think he’s a beast on the solos… Oh boy oh boy .. you HAVE NO IDEA what’s in store for you live. Go live it!!!

[@ryan0150]

I tried but he cancelled all of florida

[@Invertedworldx]

Dude I chased him back to back in 2013 saw him 3 times that summer, after coming out of the pause year for his throat surgery and got to hear, born and raised plus paradise valley. I scored a state fair ticket just so I could be as close to the stage as possible. I have a huge problem with not being close to the stage just annoys me being in seats plus constrained but the state fair I got standing tickets and literally was one of my favorite concerts ever. It's hard to convey what it's like seeing him live it seriously is. I'm just glad I've seen him 5 times but should have over the last 20 years seen him like 40 times plus had gone on the mayer curiseship.

[@JustCallMeHonda]

@@ryan0150 why’d he cancel Florida?

[@marcelodominguez9518]

Agreed! I just saw him in LA a few days ago and my god was that show special. Like you said, you will go through so many emotions and every bit of time and money to be there is worth it

[@melissajmorgan7747]

He was being very spontaneous in Denver. He emotes more than many players I've seen live. And his band is top-notch. I'm just happy to be alive at the same time he's here.

[@64ccd]

Sounded like a Heavier Things-era solo in the best possible way. I didn’t think he had that soul in him anymore. Very cool!

The joy in that solo. Making that guitar sing. Mayer on fire. This is my favorite version of the song. Stay in your lane John. We all need you right here doing what you do best.

[@kamransdiary]

Real John Mayer fans who've seen him live would know this solo was super organic and he actually must have played it at one go. This is what happens when you leave good musicians inside a studio and do not overproduce. ❤

Possibly one of the best guitar solos ever recorded

[@Wheeledgoblin56]

Can we just appreciate how polished his voice sounds? (his playing goes without saying, let's be honest) But even after his vocal issues in 2012/2013, his voice is buttery smooth, this version is better than the original imo

[@leahkrawczyk5912]

I agree 100%. I wish he'd re-record some of his old songs with his new buttery voice. It's just gorgeous

I love how John is one with his music. When he plays the guitar it is so intimate. Just him there. And I love how he will “sing” the guitar parts; Like giving them words.

[@MartinMichiels]

I find it wonderful how the rhythm section gives space for the song to literally unwind itself. They never over-play and keep the energy going from beginning to end, which for a song like that needs a ton of groove and "pocket". (And they don't "give" everything too fast). First class act guys ! It give John the space to be "in the song". True professionals ! It makes the great performance of John even better !

[@danielwilkinson666]

Absolutely, his band are wonderful.

[@cameronboakye8457]

This is beautiful. One thing I've noticed as to why his soloing is so good and soulful, he comes up with melodies to sing that would flow well over the track and "transcribes" them in real time @3:59 as an example.

2yrs, and THE WAY this song STILL makes me feel

[@jakedelgado2248]

I was so excited to learn that John was doing a ballad version of “Last Train Home” as we all know this track was totally 80’s inspired, and what better defined the 80’s than the power ballads, from Giant to Van Halen and everyone in between. This version folded back more depth and revealed a much deeper intimacy to the song that I absolutely love, you feel and see John putting his heart on his sleeve so to speak while singing. On a final note as I backtrack to my comment about the 80’s power ballads, their is one in particular that stuck out to me while listening, so in 1984 Paul McCartney released a film called “Give My Regards To Broad Street” which if you’re any kind of McCartney fan you’ll appreciate the movie even though it was cheesy and really didn’t have much of a story, but anyway there was a single that came from the movie called “No More Lonely Nights” in which the ballad version made its way on the radio waves back in the day, but the song is used throughout the movie as an instrumental, all the way to a dance version at the end of the film, but in this case the reason why it struck a “chord” with me, (sorry had to put some guitar humor in there) is because John’s playing especially the lead reminds me of the lead David Gilmour played on the McCartney song, very similar washes of delay and chorus effects in the guitar and a touch of similar style of playing. So with this direction John took with song sounded more like McCartney’s song rather than Toto’s song which here is a fun fact, two members of Toto performed in the McCartney movie which was Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcarro, who were the guitarist and drummer for Toto, in which case they did an updated version of the classic hit “Silly Love Songs” which is incredible you should check it out for sure! But to wrap this up yes I love this version also for different reasons, and that’s what I love about the complete genius of John’s musicianship he’s always reaching for that next thing he didn’t know he had yet! Love the song and hope you will enjoy this ballad version of “Last Train Home”! God bless!!!
