C’mon John, put it out. The world needs love and soothing right now. I don’t know any other artist that can just rip out a half-forgotten demo and sound like a fully produced band.
The fact that he still remembers a lot of the lyrics (and THE SOLO) after 16 years shows that he probably plays the song a lot in his free time, for himself
@@JakeFields92 maybe,😆 but i remember Mayer doesnt really remember most of his old songs, especially if the song is rarely played live (he forgot the lyrics & guitar parts of Somethings Missing on a show a couple of weeks ago), Over and Over was never even been released on a record (let alone a Live Record, like Where The Light is which houses In Your Atmosphere, another unreleased studio gem) and yet he still remembers a lot of the parts here
“Over and Over” could have been one of those songs where the crowd would sing along to the chorus. It also sounds like something couples would walk down the aisle and get married to. It could’ve been a late 2000s hit.
Over and Over Baby, you can 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 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 never forgets 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 And when you lost you way But I’m doing fine I’ll leave and lose my place in line I’ll help you find whatever you’re Whatever you think you’re looking for Cause guess who desperately wants you Over and over, over and over Guess who never forgets you Over and over, over and over
A 2022 updated version of this ,omg imagine😩 now I want this so bad , he can release an EP of his unreleased songs and it'll be better than most things out these days
He did play with the idea of an album called 'Zero' around the same time the search for everything came out, a full album of unreleased songs being studio recorded
hahaha Cory's frustration "COME ON DUDE JUST PUT A SECOND VERSE" is literally all of us!! Now that Columbia is out of the picture, do whatever you want John...including releasing this song in however way you want ;)
It plays in the same key, same meter, and same tempo as I'm Gonna Find Another You. I feel like they could be mirror images of each other, imagining that they could have book-ended Continuum with this song acting as the first song in the album. Now I'm imagining how Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan would've added their magic to this track.
As far as I know he played this live one time. And I was there. Speaking appearance on Broadway in early 2005. He said this was gonna be his first single off his next album. And when he introduced the song that night ... he said he hadn’t figured out the bridge yet. He got there and it kinda came off the rails and he stopped and said he still had to finish it. I remember being so confused when it wasn’t on Continuum
@@ok-es6vd He didn't renew his contract with record label Columbia records, so from now on he will release music as an independent artist, meaning he can do anything he wanted musically without a label getting in the way.
My Girlfriend of 10 years & I have seen John Mayer 4 times together. We're finally getting married next September, this should be our wedding song. I'm very upset this didn't make Continuum :(
@@armoredpineapple people are asking her to do this. She mentioned it in the last Q&A but said she is not so sure that she can pull another good one, so...
"Over And Over" should be called "The Podcast Song" because that's the only time we're going to hear it. Great interview guys! Can't believe you guys got John Mayer to play the song considering he's put it away for over 15 years.
Oh man, THIS Song sounds AMAZING! It WILL WORK John! Please be kind and give it to the world in some form or another. I'd rather have the Purple Rain I've heard for forty years than none at all.
Wow, I didn't think it would live up to the hype of the title, but... I gotta admit. Continuum is why I play guitar the way I do. Had that song made the cut, it would be burned in my head and a part of my repertoire for the last 16 years. Really beautiful.
The creative value that John adds to the world is amazing, first time listend to the "Covered in the rain" smashed out. Your any riff gets everyone into grove.... Great man and God Bless you for adding charm to the world...
Ok, now I want this released , please for the Love of God ! John, we need what you do ! Please Release as an Immediate Single ! Please ! God Bless , J... ( Toronto ) ps, I am adding this to my acoustic set : )
There’s a nice live version of it in 2004, used book cafe NY. Also another one in 2005, live at times talks (with a draft of a bridge that sounded so good)
THIS IS INSANITY!! I would kill to spend a week with the songs he HASN’T recorded. My mind was literally blown listening to this. Similar reaction to Simple Song and Taking on Water. Wish he one day just releases an unreleased album of these songs🤯
A real treat to hear the song again after 17 years. I'm convinced if this was released on Continuum it easily could have been his own "Thinking Out Loud" mega hit. It still seems like a really special song to him and when the time is right it'll probably come out. (The fact he can still remember how to play it and remember all the lyrics when usually forgets all his old songs live says a lot IMO.)
I really don’t care for John’s music but I cannot deny his expertise and beautiful voice. He really is THE best guitarist out there, in terms of playing and finding the perfect tone.
@@jaybreacher4430 I haven’t, I do like some of his tunes, except I haven’t really gotten into to it yet. I still love hearing him talk about gear and how he writes songs.
I totally get this. Just last week I finished a song I started 14 years ago. It was ONE line at the end of the verse that I was stuck on. Over the years I would revisit it with no luck in coming up with the right line. But last week, alas I figured it out. Now I plan on recording it :)
I would love just a volume of John demos. But he should definetly flesh this one out. I thought that bridge sounded pretty sick too it could work Edit: "flesh" not "flush" Potato Potato Jodi 😂
Just to give an update; John played the original demo in its entirety on his Sirius XM show. You can search for it on youtube: "John Mayer - Over and Over | Unreleased Continuum Demo"
bridge lyrics still missing haha. there was a live version like 14 years ago where he hummed the bridge - someone who has some time on their hands should write it and try.
There’s so many gems of his which aren’t on Spotify, like this one, but also Sucker, You can make it if you try (with sly & the family stone), Can’t take that plane, and his covers of Route 66, Like a rolling stone, I’m on fire and Ain’t no sunshine, and probably some more that I forgot about
there are so many good unreleased Mayer songs - Lifelines, The Hurt, Breakaway its like 2 full albums material. I hope someday he will do a full mixed version and released them but who knows maybe they have more magic being these rare and rough gems but he could at least do this stuff live once in a while.
Lifelines was amazing. Breakaway also, even though I think it was written by his friend Matt Mangano. The hurt chords were used in Friends lovers or nothing and Mayer has expressed he is happy he didn’t record it because it sounded way better as a ending to that song. Nevertheless, I totally agree, mayer’s unreleased songs would make a killer album. Specially those old ones, like Tell me what to say, Same time last year, perfect sense.
We really need an album called "The Kitchen" (reference to a podcast where I think he referred to the restaurant kitchen where he had a mess of unreleased incomplete stuff) where he just plays his unreleased incomplete stuff.
What John NEEDS to finish is 'Everything You'll Ever Be' or 'Taking On Water'... and of course, a studio version of 'In Your Atmosphere' but I gave up on that one 15 years ago
Lyrics and Chords A Baby you could jump a hundred times F#m You could never fall Dmaj9 Out of my graces E7 Out of my graces Say if you ever do And it gets hard to look at you Time will erase it Time will erase it Use me up Kick me down Were good on time Cause guess who Desperately wants you Over and over Over and over And guess who Never forgets you Over and over Over and over You could cut your hair just to grow it back Dye it till the sink turns black Ill recognize you Ill recognize you When you lost your way And im doing fine Ill leave and lose my place in line Ill help you find Whatever you think youre looking for Cause guess who Desperately wants you Over and Over Over and Over

@@kitsonswann5088 spot on
I suspect he’s just improvising the solo based on the melody
He said he had to go back and learn the helpless solo before this tour so i imagine it was all improvised.
“Over and Over” could have been one of those songs where the crowd would sing along to the chorus. It also sounds like something couples would walk down the aisle and get married to. It could’ve been a late 2000s hit.
Almost sounds like Ed sheeran before Ed sheeran was even somebody lmao
@@jadedjimmy Well, ed sheeran was hugely influenced by John Mayer lol.
@@Alfram especially early acoustic Mayer, more so than post Continuum era Mayer. Yeah.
@@jadedjimmy very true!
easily!
Man needs to put this out.
Over and Over
Baby, you can 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
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 never forgets 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
And when you lost you way
But I’m doing fine
I’ll leave and lose my place in line
I’ll help you find whatever you’re
Whatever you think you’re looking for
Cause guess who desperately wants you
Over and over, over and over
Guess who never forgets you
Over and over, over and over

@@tvbroekhuizen6980 he scraps a lot of these ideas really quickly , i hope he thinks about it now after leaving columbia
It’ll be better than any other album he did now that he’s not tied down to a record label
Man that’s one of the most gorgeous solos I’ve heard him play. And it’s on a podcast too
hahaha Cory's frustration "COME ON DUDE JUST PUT A SECOND VERSE" is literally all of us!!
Now that Columbia is out of the picture, do whatever you want John...including releasing this song in however way you want ;)

Now I'm imagining how Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan would've added their magic to this track.
dear god I didn't even think of the pino/steve thing. Now I *really* need this song lol
I’m 99% sure he’s been banking this huge hit for years and this is all part of the early stages of a marketing plan. What a melody. Incredible.
Cory Wong’s reaction is just like any John Mayer’s fan would say: “ c’mon, dude, that’s killing! Just put a second verse on it”
That’s exactly how i feel about ‘a simple song’
@@karmasubba3863 I could also add Taking On Water.
@@eriktaira that song has a few verses to it, but Simple song!
It's rarely a second verse that's missing from John's unreleased songs
Holy f.., that unreleased song is pure beauty! Please release it!
John Mayer needs to release a record of all of his unreleased songs produced.
lol you sneaky
a couple days ago he said he might do just that after a fan asked him if he would ever release some unofficial songs.
Like Taking on water
I love that Cory is probably playing the rhythm part to support the solo. Doing it for the fans.
You can immediately tell by the absolute lack of reverb in his sound lol
It would be funny if he just did his funky thing instead of trying at all to play it the way it works for the song
As far as I know he played this live one time. And I was there. Speaking appearance on Broadway in early 2005. He said this was gonna be his first single off his next album. And when he introduced the song that night ... he said he hadn’t figured out the bridge yet. He got there and it kinda came off the rails and he stopped and said he still had to finish it. I remember being so confused when it wasn’t on Continuum
I definitely remember that too. I had it on my ipod way back in the day (not an official release of course). It's so cool to hear it years later.
Yes, live at times talks right? He also played it 2004, live at housing works used book cafe, but with no hint of the bridge yet.
Now that he doesn't have a record label, he can do what he likes, I hope this is his first release.
What do you mean?
@@ok-es6vd He didn't renew his contract with record label Columbia records, so from now on he will release music as an independent artist, meaning he can do anything he wanted musically without a label getting in the way.
@@luke_Citino maybe because he’s affiliated and touring with Dead
@@ok-es6vd maybe - we'll never know the reason for not renewing his contract with Columbia until he tells us why
Pretty sure the label would've absolutely loved this.
Cory on rhythm at the end (on a whim) while John solos over it. What a legendary combination right there.
My Girlfriend of 10 years & I have seen John Mayer 4 times together. We're finally getting married next September, this should be our wedding song. I'm very upset this didn't make Continuum :(
Someone send this to Mary Spender. Don't leave my man hanging here...
@@dimegobt HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH that would be something!
@@armoredpineapple people are asking her to do this. She mentioned it in the last Q&A but said she is not so sure that she can pull another good one, so...

she (mary) has finished it for JM

There are some videos of him playing it live. But this is the best one around
I feel like the moment he finds the woman he’ll marry, John will know EXACTLY how to finish it
Ah this is a beautiful prophecy!!
Hahahaha
💯
Perfect. 😂👌🏻
John is married to his guitar, as it should be!!
Now I want over and over… this is the first time I hear that solo. What a great song. I hope he will release it some day
Oh man, THIS Song sounds AMAZING! It WILL WORK John! Please be kind and give it to the world in some form or another. I'd rather have the Purple Rain I've heard for forty years than none at all.
John needs to put "Over and Over" and "Simple Song" on his next album
And Hotel Bathroom Song!
i want sucker but i dont think its ever coming
Definitely a song that deserves to be recorded and released on John’s next album or EP!
John!!! Please! Release it!
Wow, I didn't think it would live up to the hype of the title, but... I gotta admit. Continuum is why I play guitar the way I do. Had that song made the cut, it would be burned in my head and a part of my repertoire for the last 16 years. Really beautiful.
Damn!! I'm gonna be singing this all day and wishing it was recorded & released. That second verse floored me. 😍

Ok, now I want this released , please for the Love of God ! John, we need what you do ! Please Release as an Immediate Single ! Please !
God Bless ,
J... ( Toronto )
ps, I am adding this to my acoustic set : )
If it was out, I'd listen to it over and over.
He is right, he _would_ have had to play it over and over his entire career.
Cory laying down the rhythm on a whim is the best part.
Well, it's a part... but hardly the best part.😂
It sounds like a song older than 2006. I love it! Hope he releases it someday.
There’s a nice live version of it in 2004, used book cafe NY. Also another one in 2005, live at times talks (with a draft of a bridge that sounded so good)

We desperately need an unreleased songs album. Lifelines, tracing, over and over, the hurt, man on the side, taking on water, so many gems
Hotel Bathroom Song, A Simple Song
Please get john to release this it’s beautiful
Weird hearing John trying to do an impression of 2006 John
I’m obsessed with this song!! So glad he finally released over and over. 😍😍
Holy smokes that is a beautiful song. Just so sweet
That solo had me yearning for more!
I would love just a volume of John demos. But he should definetly flesh this one out. I thought that bridge sounded pretty sick too it could work
Edit: "flesh" not "flush"
Potato Potato Jodi 😂
Agreed, that would be incredible. You mean flesh it out though 😉
Just to give an update; John played the original demo in its entirety on his Sirius XM show. You can search for it on youtube: "John Mayer - Over and Over | Unreleased Continuum Demo"
Honestly I like this stripped down version better than the demo that played
@@kristnpmi2786 I do too! I hope he re-records it someday. His voice has gotten so much better
bridge lyrics still missing haha. there was a live version like 14 years ago where he hummed the bridge - someone who has some time on their hands should write it and try.
Maan he gotta release this song someday. I agree with Steve Jordan. That’s gonna be the song in every wedding and marriage n bf n gf’s celebration.
The tone of the guitar at the end....
Does Cory start playing rhythm during the solo? If so, thats amazing..
Awesome that Wong immediately catches the backing
A petition for this man to put this song out. Come on. Somebody.
Beautiful, John. Absolutely beautiful 💓
@John Mayer Wow, I can't stop singing it. Just might be "The One" John. So beautiful man.
This is my new favourite music ever, John please post a version like this!
These gentlemen need to collaborate could you imagine
There’s so many gems of his which aren’t on Spotify, like this one, but also Sucker, You can make it if you try (with sly & the family stone), Can’t take that plane, and his covers of Route 66, Like a rolling stone, I’m on fire and Ain’t no sunshine, and probably some more that I forgot about

Aaaaaand it's already stuck in my head
This song needs to be put out. It’s a hit.
being Continuum one of my favourite albums ever this is like getting to know a friend you never knew you had
The world needs this song to be released!
Thank you so much for sharing this. 💘🥲
This song needs to happen. OMG. I’m in love with it.
The bit of the bridge John played reminds me of the bridge/synth solo in Here Comes the Sun.
It's like a sequel to Gravity. We want to hear this over and over :'( :'( :'(
I hope John revisits this song. Loved the flow and can see how the bridge is throwing himi off but like Cory said just bin it.
4:49
Oh my god, this song needs to come out pls
I cant believe he did not finish it. Many other musicians put their literally shit on the internet and song that good has not seen the daylight.
Wow! Powerful song! Extremely beautiful!
Mary Spender, you know what to do.
Can't wait for the Wong-Mayer Quartet Tour to come to my town.. The Jamming was slick!!
Hey John if you read this, The world needs that song man come on!
Now this song has to come out!
The solo Wow!!!😲
I pray for the day he finally releases this song
I can’t - man this is so beautiful. You know when you see it all there, c’mon - this has gotta be released! #youknowyoushould 🎸🔥
That solo was epic
I need this in my life rn
The solo 😭😭😭I want this song to be finished!
What John NEEDS to finish is 'Everything You'll Ever Be' or 'Taking On Water'... and of course, a studio version of 'In Your Atmosphere' but I gave up on that one 15 years ago
John needs to release this song!! Hand it over!!
John needs to release this one, “Taking On Water”, and “Heart So Heavy”
how does this only have 213 likes... stop... this is too good
I absolutely need this song
This song is so beautiful 😍
This is actually really good. Single material.
Thanks for posting this
Lyrics and Chords
A
Baby you could jump a hundred times
F#m
You could never fall
Dmaj9
Out of my graces
E7
Out of my graces
Say if you ever do
And it gets hard to look at you
Time will erase it
Time will erase it
Use me up
Kick me down
Were good on time
Cause guess who
Desperately wants you
Over and over
Over and over
And guess who
Never forgets you
Over and over
Over and over
You could cut your hair just to grow it back
Dye it till the sink turns black
Ill recognize you
Ill recognize you
When you lost your way
And im doing fine
Ill leave and lose my place in line
Ill help you find
Whatever you think youre looking for
Cause guess who
Desperately wants you
Over and Over
Over and Over
He should drop that song, it's extremely beautiful
Beautiful
