‘Over and Over’ Demo - John Mayer

Played on LIFE with John Mayer on SiriusXM ON December 12, 2023

[@JohnMayerUSA]

Baby, you could jump a hundred times There's just no way that you'll ever fall out of my graces, out of my graces Let's say for a second that you ever do And it gets hard to look at you Time will erase it, time will erase it You can use me up, kick me down As much as you like, we're good on time Cause, guess who desperately wants you, over and over Over and over Guess who desperately wants you, over and over Over and over You can cut your hair just to grow it back Or dye it till the sink turns black I'll recognize you, I'll recognize you When you lose your way and I'm doing fine I'll even lose my place in line I'll help you find it, I'll help you find it Cause, guess who desperately wants you, over and over Over and over Guess who desperately wants you, over and over Over and over Fadeout Cry at the hands of you before I laughed at something new Cause over and over, I'm breaking my heart just to save your own

[@HeIsGreaterThanUs]

This sounds like a song you would request on the radio and call your love to listen to the radio because you want to apologize for being a jerk and you really love them and just want to hold them in your arms again.

[@user-qo2op3xn5b]

This is a song I would play to myself to remind myself that I will keep loving and trying to be the best version of myself that I can be, in this amazing yet brief life that I have.

[@amyyoung1362]

Thank you John!

[@Coloradohighboy]

That chorus is haunting. Bravo John love it

[@valve84]

I think it's sweet and it sounds good too. You're blessed to know someone who makes you feel that way.

[@chasefitch2245]

It’d be cool if he finished it and released it as a single. A rare opportunity to collaborate with your younger self

[@potatochicko]

Imagine a call and response section with current John and 2005 John

[@superglr1]

I can hear this as a blues rock love ballad on a second JM Trio LP.

[@AlexHarrisDigital]

@@superglr1agree.

[@chaos4316]

Yep. His future self sucks. He should ward himself off it by showing old John Mayer how much he can ruin everything.

[@DMMeier66]

This has the feel of Continuum. Definitely fits. I can see me singing this, poorly, in the car to a memory from that time period that never happened. Good tune.

[@garykramermusic]

Well said

[@guitarbygus]

Would have been good on heavier things i think.

[@samallard93]

This definitely has an Inside Wants Out feel

[@HitchcockTheSnail]

Implanting memories ;-)

[@AlexHarrisDigital]

Deffo more heavier things

[@Invertedworldx]

Who here literally just signed up for SiriusXm radio in the last few days just for John radio lol 🖐🏻🖐🏻

[@RR448]

Literally the only reason

[@sabineramirez3899]

Me!

[@sabineramirez3899]

How about that doctor last night having candlelight dinner with John 🤯 . The fact that John’s work is literally helping people who help people. His music reaches you, it transcends time and place. I won’t call the station because I don’t have a remarkable question to ask him but John if you are reading I love this song & I love you more today “old John “ than ever before. Thank you for sharing yourself and your music with us . The sacrifice doesn’t go unnoticed. Cheers to you and continued success, however you define it.

[@ShorsBones]

Me me me me meeee

[@f0x845]

Me honestly. Three days ago

[@gringoran]

Back to John's music atmosphere 1998-2002. Sounds magic. Need to release!

[@toastythebear]

I could see it having a duet with Vanessa Carlton on keys at an awards show in 1998 lol

[@Butter_Pecan_Panda]

The performance of this song on the Wong Notes podcast was so much sweeter to me. The simplicity of it allowed more of its beauty to shine through

[@febcortes5878]

that version of him singing with the more groovy guitar definitely slaps, but I also appreciate the breezy sounding drums and swells on this one

[@Ginger_Lily]

I also preferred that one. I don't dislike this version, but I don't love it.

[@blackstormer95]

don't u forget about that sweet solo he did@@febcortes5878

[@samme79]

It was great for sure but the lyric "Kick me down" fits so much better in this version because the sudden modulation to a nondiatonic chord seemed to me that it needed what this has. Plus this solo rocks

[@Rose_grpa]

Totally agree

[@bethanypowers9280]

Makes me think of God’s relentless pursuit of His creation. He loved us first. We don’t deserve any of it. None. Love love love.

[@jeansiadore]

The demo sounds so different than his acoustic version. JM’s voice has evolved so much since the continuum days. My favorite album of all time. ❤ so blessed to have JM as one of the greatest artist.

[@xtakeabreathh]

Everything this man releases I eat it up. God I’m so grateful for his music

[@akshatrupapara6580]

Unpopular opinion but this one feels like it should have been the last song on Battle Studies ❤

[@ianclevenger9714]

It to me feel heavier things vibes

[@metalhammer5]

Unpopular opinion: It sounds similar to Edge of Desire.

[@promhoss]

@@metalhammer5 that's literally what I thought too earlier today! That wall of sound vibe from Edge of Glory, the vibe is so alike.

[@carlosangel9404]

Maybe not the end cause I still think Friends, Lovers, or Nothing is a perfect closer, but I definitely think it can be on that record.

[@AnderDoUrden]

You are all wrong (lovingly joking guys, of course), it has "Love Soon" vibes

[@user-qo2op3xn5b]

John, This easy breezy loving song needs to be put on an your next album and played over and over. It’s really beautiful.

[@kristinhernandez8946]

I second this sentiment. Please and thank you. ❤🙏🏼

[@lavettanapier2365]

YES!!!!!!

[@leighloper9940]

Definitely!!

[@MinkyGMusic]

Yes!

[@najatm]

this song is incredible

[@EspressoCutronum]

Good slow dance kind of song… the kind where it’s not in a burning room, but perhaps after the fires, and it’s just burning embers and debris, and they’re still dancing. This song is truly an excavation of a hidden gem.

[@whatevereyewant]

“And they’re still dancing” sounds like the next song or the end track lol

[@trishchristy2341]

That's a perfect description for this gem!! I am no spring chicken, & young passionate love evolves to something even more warm & lovely IF you can hang in & get thru the tough times - very grateful - just LUV this song ❤❤

[@rockstar.mindset]

damn. Imagine a song as beautiful as this that did not make the album... you can just really appreciate how great Continuum is. but this one is so beautiful too; pretty sure if he makes an album of songs that did not 'quite' make it, it will still sell.

[@songninja]

the verse sounds like heavier things + and the chorus sounds like continuum. great song!

[@asmit_plays]

exactly

[@benwoods9541]

I couldn’t find the words yesterday. Kept telling my wife this had a heavier things undertone to it. This is a perfect explanation of it. 👏

[@waxxmatchproductions]

I would love it if he would FINALLY release this, it's a gem. I think this suits his more mature vocals that he has now and would do great for single before his next album. Can't wait to see whats in store for John and all us fans.

[@Rose_grpa]

I like the acoustic version he played on a podcast better, but this one is good too. Thank you John for releasing it! You are a true gift. 🎁💕

[@bikashtangha7904]

that wasn't an acoustic version tho but I agree that version is more refined and beautiful.

[@Rose_grpa]

@@bikashtangha7904 Yes, you are correct. I just went back to listen to it again. I guess my memory remembered it acoustic because it is so simple and beautiful. Thanks for the clarification. It is probably my most favorite song I have ever heard John sing, and funny that it was just an impromptu “performance.” John, if you ever see this, please record that simple version. It’s gorgeous. 💕

[@Ginger_Lily]

@@Rose_grpa totally agree with you.

[@ehi3398]

John, man, how could you not put this on a record, what a song!!!

[@Gudguybowls]

My dad grew up in the 70s listening to the likes of Jackson Browne and the Eagles: one of the first songs he learned on guitar was Take it Easy. I grew up on that kind of music as a result. As a guitar player now myself, I spent my high school years learning songs from Continuum, and the rest of John Mayer’s catalogue, and he’s my guitar hero now. My Silver Sky is my baby. To see a collaboration between these two feels like seeing my dad and myself playing together the way we do. Big thanks to John and Jackson for this beautiful performance. It meant a lot to see it. And to Bob Saget for giving us Full House that I also grew up on :)

[@nik.rodrigues]

Why is this beautiful track not on the record, it's such a GREAT SOUNDING BEAUTIFUL TRACK Johnny. You've got to release this as a Single EP. This Version and Acoustic Version. Thanks Johnny

[@DaveJ-BCMA]

Can't wait for the next tour!

[@DaveJ-BCMA]

Continuum came out in a very interesting time of my life. It was tumultuous, I thought I knew what was up, but I didn't. Now, "stop this train" and "heart of life" really speak to me. Thank you, John.

[@DarylSheppard-ul1rk]

You are very, very talented. You need to polish this song up and drop it as a single on behalf of all your bands we would really like to see this as a single.

[@davidlambertini1981]

Over and over is exactly how many times I will play this song. Got me some Platinum tickets for the Solo show in Stockholm on Mars13.❤️

[@Flo-qw4jr]

This demo is so incredibly serene and pretty...man I love John Mayer.

[@dallincory7287]

Yes John this is what the world needed well done

[@cynthiaakordor3356]

John Mayer, I truly believe that every sound that flows from your lips and springs from your guitar 🎸 is magic. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I know you may have good and bad days and I pray that whatever you may need at this very moment, Jesus is providing. You have blessed my life with your music. Thank you so much!

[@ercyvp]

This would have been another one in Continuum I would have listened to in a continuous loop for hours, like "Slow dancing in a burning room" ❤❤❤

I loved this song when I first heard a few notes a few years back & just now I'm transported to A very amazing first slow dance in a school gym,somewhere in time,thank you for this magic you inspire 🎸💫z

[@joseynovember6503]

My Goodness John! I've waited so long to hear how he would finish the song. Even better than I could have dreamed.

I love this song, it's so fragably beautiful, passionately sung, beautiful words, musical topper John Mayer. The best musical guitar killer, sounds matching lyrical O so good, wonderman a package packed in its entirety, how can I better articulate this man.❤❤❤

[@shankarbhattacharjee007]

He has been my inspiration since I was probably in my 8th standard, now it's time....2 months more to go I will embrace music for good...thanks SIR JOHN MAYER....❤❤

[@blakehalbert1093]

Yes! Please please release this song! The version you did on the podcast is my favorite, please release an acoustic version it would mean so much

[@amandamichelle9687]

I think this song needs to be released as it’s so beautiful ❤

[@vitormoraes6032]

YOU'RE AMAZING JOHN !!!

[@ericgriffith3579]

I miss this kind of music. Sob Rock is so good, I think you ought to work your way backward, and do a 70’s, a 60’s, and a 50’s album. I bet it would be a really fun challenge and a lot of us would love it!

[@jaydx12]

As if this didn't make the record, this song is absolutely gorgeous

[@HelloConnect22]

Merry Christmas 🌲 🎅 🎄 🎅John Mayer .... Over and Over ⭐🌟⭐

[@coreycompton9907]

Long time John Mayer fan and I must say it was refreshing to hear this track. It was nice hearing one of the most familiar and treasured voices that help write the soundtrack to my life, has had this song in his collection of great music for me to listen and hear a song for the first time and feel like a young fan again, hearing something new to you for the first time. Terrific work as always Mr. Mayer and thank you for brightening my day as you often do.

[@karinjudd1442]

Johnny Mayer, you are so talented and blessed. Love you so much!

[@hangininmyroomwithchristya2125]

[@EZGrace]

Definitely would’ve fit, but so cool to hear it now. Probably needed it more tonight than with Continuum. Unbelievable.

[@marleneg2774]

Beautiful song & perfect for a wedding! I would’ve liked to waltz to this at my wedding ♥️

[@carlay.brownspokenword8409]

Please put this on an album I love it.

Please! Play this Song in London in March 24! ❤

[@leveronique1]

Love it so much, so beautiful!

[@patrickzdanek2681]

Wow... Why on earth did he not put this on Continuum?? This is beautiful.

[@christtv3576]

So on another podcast He explained that it was Going to be too popular and didn’t want his career to be over shadowed by a love song again like daughters did. So he just used the “it’s not finished yet” excuse to not release it😂really wish he did tho.

[@britbrat6242]

I immediately fell in love with this song at the first verse, seriously :) Thank you so much for these DEMO's that were supposed to be on Continuum.

[@ikben86]

Even the songs that don't/didn't make the album are next level!! What a talent you are John. :)

[@zara-ly2927]

Love this so much that I’ve been listening to this over and over ❤️ It’s so beautiful!

This is lovely. He is a truly gifted artist. If you have the opportunity to see him live, do it❤

[@Jennifer-jz7bz]

Hi This song is so amazing!! Lovely to hear it now. John Mayer is by far the best artist to come out of the 90s. His incredible voice & guitar playing melts me day in & day out. His musical genius & sexy elequance memorize me. He is the most handsome man in the world 🌍 I'm very much in love with John Mayer ❤

Anyone else imagining a screaming guitar solo being played to the live version of this that didn't make WTLI, with that Belief lead tone ? I can actually hear the crowd in my head and see girls making gooey eyes at him. The second solo picks up from the drop.

[@kristinhernandez8946]

It’s definitely done. Love it. ❤❤❤

[@Lightinmyeyes]

Over and over… i desperately love his gift of music❤️
