Wish he would release these demos. True fans want all the unreleased songs even if they're not 100% "album worthy". We've been listening to them as poor quality live recordings for years!
First time hearing this, and I’m already toe-tapping to it! Easily, you’re one of the most gifted artists to come along! I’ve been fortunate to have seen 3 of your shows through the years. The last one was in Boston, a surprise for Mother’s Day, from my son, who lives there! Thank you for sharing your gift of songwriting, and playing the guitar.❤️ You are a handsome genius who brings joy to all who listen. 🎶 Rock on!
This has been one of my absolute favorite unreleased John Mayer songs since I first heard the live version he performed at Hotel Cafe in LA. Definitely should have been on Born and Raised or Paradise Valley! I wish he’d make a third folk/Americana album and give this song another shot.
Hi John, wish I could get moved back home in the South(soon).. Please don't be discouraged by my absence listening to your music. At times, I listen to nothing and tune into nature. Mostly lately, isolating from people's pains, pointing fingers... Casting stones. So " I built a house of the stones.
Have listened to the Hotel Cafe version probably 300+ times, sounds like John was struggling with his voice a bit more when he recorded this but it is SO validating to finally hear the demo. Won't happen, but would love if John re-released Born and Raised having re-recorded some of the numbers he struggled vocally on at the time and included a new version of this number! One of the best of the album cycle. Okay John, when are we getting the Walt Grace theatrical production?
Today was hard but I've made my way And I've found the strength to say That I don't belong and I'm holding on And I smile, I yawn, I play along But all I know by now Is you don't belong and I'm holding on CHORUS You know I really can't take this place I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me I'm never finishing what I started Oh I was born with a portable heart There was a flight that left tonight And lived for the dawn that I should've been on Cause I could've been gone and asleep already CHORUS You know I really can't take this place I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me I'm never finishing what I started Oh I was born with a portable heart Oh I was born with a portable heart You know I really can't take this place I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me I'm never finishing what I started Oh I was born with a portable heart Oh I was born with a portable heart Don't you know I was born with a portable heart I was born with a portable heart I smile, I yawn, I play my song But all I know by heart Is that I don't belong
I know you will come swoop me offa my feet after you done with all them scandalous women… haha. Never hurts to dream. I’ve been a fan of yours forever. The best you is I swear what you did for Dead & Co. so now I look forward to John stuff like this here… thanks for bein so talented 🐚❤️🎶👂🌍
Once again I really love this and I personally like it better than at least five or six songs that didn’t make the album, perhaps there was another reason that John didn’t include it
Like: the song! Dislike: that its unreleased and not on apple music. It was so Born&raised album worthy 😎 March 22 I will see you again for the solo tour in Amsterdam cant wait.
There are some 12 year old regatón fans making negative comments in here 😂😂😂. Honestly guys if you don’t like this then you are just exposing your poor taste in music and lack of education of what “demo” means.

we may get them in an anniversary box set some time in the future
I‘m 69 and this tune remember me in the seventies. Great work, John. Also, your born and raised album was a masterpiece.
true legends know born and raised was his best piece of work
Indeed, that album was a masterpiece ❤

Thank you John! What a nice treat.
This is one of my favorite all time JM songs. Got me through rough times in college.
John's songs touch me in a way that I can never truly express. This one really resonates with me, as I have ADHD, and have felt this way all my life.
Me identifico con esta canción! Gracias John!
I would drive all day with this playing
Love it❤ reminds me of Jackie Green.
Loved hearing this on the channel today. Wish it had made it on the record.
John Mayer is my favorite modern artist.
The greatest musician, singer, composer and guitar player!! Love Your music, keep doing what You do

Banger
Reminds me of Tom Petty. Awesome song, Thanks for this JOHN MAYER.
i have waited 11 years for this and it was great!!!

I think the healing on record makes that inspiring. That is a singers writer's worst nightmare .
I hope he lets us hear a studio version demo of taking on water instead of the live recordings we heard. That song is a true gem!
LOVE IT!!!!
This is road trip music.
You're the man 🙌
este tema me gusta cada mas!!!!
the bridge solo has some great harmony
He is a cut above the rest for sure.
omg i can feel each album in these unreleased songs. this one would definitely fit paradise valley
I agree! I think it's too much of a 'bop' to go onto B&R (especially when he nearly took Something Like Olivia off for the same reason).
❤❤😻THAT IS RIGHT SIR YOU SIR ARE NUMBER ONE REplayboy
me encanta!
❤luv you precious ❤😊
Wow this is a soundtrack . Portable heart still needs him to work . Not everyone has a portable heart.
È una canzone molto bella john ❤
Never hesitate to let the troubadour come out. The rough spots make it human. Fights off the dreck of AI.
genio!!!!!
Te amo, ❤
Today was hard but I've made my way
And I've found the strength to say
That I don't belong and I'm holding on
And I smile, I yawn, I play along
But all I know by now
Is you don't belong and I'm holding on
CHORUS
You know I really can't take this place
I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me
I'm never finishing what I started
Oh I was born with a portable heart
There was a flight that left tonight
And lived for the dawn that I should've been on
Cause I could've been gone and asleep already
CHORUS
You know I really can't take this place
I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me
I'm never finishing what I started
Oh I was born with a portable heart
Oh I was born with a portable heart
You know I really can't take this place
I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me
I'm never finishing what I started
Oh I was born with a portable heart
Oh I was born with a portable heart
Don't you know I was born with a portable heart
I was born with a portable heart
I smile, I yawn, I play my song
But all I know by heart
Is that I don't belong
I know you will come swoop me offa my feet after you done with all them scandalous women… haha. Never hurts to dream. I’ve been a fan of yours forever. The best you is I swear what you did for Dead & Co. so now I look forward to John stuff like this here… thanks for bein so talented

Shows how good the songs on Born and Raised were/are to not be included in that album. JM is a true music machine!! :)

It was so Born&raised album worthy 😎 March 22 I will see you again for the solo tour in Amsterdam cant wait.
Isso é bom demais!!
I surely can relate....except I always finish what I start 🤭.
i hate the Count 35 because 3 and 5 means Unluck to me , so i wrote the 36 comment.Really Great Demo ! Sir Mayer !
Hope tha tJohn play this on his possible new album. Its a fantastic song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of Paul McCartney's "Goodbye"
very bob dylan feel to it
💙✌🏼💋

John going through another Dylan phase? Nice song though…
It’s from 12 years ago
Someone have the lyrics?
It's okay
First I guess
Second, I guess
@@rishavsharma9397third
Two hundred and eighty first i guess
Eleventeen millionth, I guess…
this came out a while ago. True JM fans have heard this song long before this show
🎅🏿♿
TBH, it goes nowhere for me ……..
Dorky song
Yuck
Honestly, not great.

Is that I don't belong
