  • ‘Portable Heart’ demo from 2010 played for the first time on LIFE with John Mayer on November 29, 2023. The song was originally recorded to be part of Born and Raised but did not make the cut.

    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!

    I‘m 69 and this tune remember me in the seventies. Great work, John. Also, your born and raised album was a masterpiece.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

  • @ShawHortonMusic

    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.
