I knew this record was going to be special when John grew out his hair like he did for Continuum and Born & Raised. Months into it, we're still getting releases. Sob Rock is the gift that keeps on giving.
@@ChilliCasperCorbett that's a great record by any definition. And while it changed a lot of people into Mayer fans and produced a couple classics, Room for Squares changed music (short hair) 🤷♂️
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....
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.
Srsly man.. i didn’t know that his guitar playing even can get improved more, because he has been a master player for last decade. And now i’m like.. wow.. that touch
I am glad he went a different way with any album, continuum remains one of my favorites, but sob rock CD is staying in my car whenever I need some good 80s sound

That’s what his love shows are like! Plays the song with an extended guitar solo. I remember hearing him say that he takes that into account when writing a song
It's Mayer's diversity for me. Instead of listening to 4 different artists from 4 different genres, I can listen to John mayer on shuffle and get every genre I enjoy. I haven't REALLY listened to anyone else for 2 years now.
@@Itza-Me i havent ignored everyone. I'm well rounded in my musical taste. I like everyone from classics like beatles, floyd, zepplin, to new age songwriters like Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, and Feist. But Mayer remains my favorite and go to.

@@hockuspockus911 enjoy saw him twice live and will be seeing him in February. To me he sounds much more free when playing live. Also he rips a solo on like all of his songs lol so good
Sob Rock is my most revisited album this year. I've played it during a hard days work, long hours on the road travelling to site, late nights and early morning, ive played it in the bedroom, I've played it for my parents, friends and co workers. The production is like a warm blanket and wild blue gets me everytime.
i completely agree. this album has been everywhere with me. so many experiences and memories with these songs. it never gets old. always find myself reflecting on life and growing more every time I listen to it. i think john mayer is one of the modern GOATS. people that bag on him know nothing, and are probably living in the shadow. we all have to go through it.
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.
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.
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 somehow somewhere manages to make atleast one really good stand-out track in his albums. I believe it's the most difficult things to do when you're sort of confined to one genre.

I am 70 and grew up with the best musicians ever, but this guy is a genius. I have all his albums and can't get enough. I think it's also the emotion ans sexual tension in his songs that makes your heart skip a beat and your tummy turn over. Unbelievable brilliance!!
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!!!
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.
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
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.
This guy personifies pure musical joy. And he transmits that same contagious joy to his listeners. Like a musical virus whose only symptoms are second-hand guitar faces and a total, systemic numbness. Unbelievable.
Jason Mraz is another artist who just has a ton of joy in every one of this song, and many sound like a jam session, such a great vibe to them. His live stuff is excellent.
@@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.
@@tomtankengine0 I concur that Mayer is the better artist, no doubt. I was just pointing out that pure joy of expression, jubilance of having fun is consistently in Mraz’s music as well. 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.
@@TheTommyCraft My bad, I misinterpreted your comment completely. It has become so easy to assume people are just sparking 'Mayer vs XYZ' arguments these days! Mayer, Mraz and Jack Johnson are all in a similar, 'warm-hug' kind of vein.
There is an aura from this song even watching it on here that reminds me of the feeling one gets seeing John live. It envelops; warmth; comfort; a palpable sound. And then, John lifts the cozy blanket and leads us from comfort to pure joy with the outro. Slow. Clap. Mr. Mayer.
Hello 👋 Thanks to you all I call my fans, I appreciate all the support and love you have been given to me all this years you all made me whom I am today I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind gesture towards me and am most grateful to have you as my fan...❤❤
He's got to be proud of what he's done vocally over the last few decades. People always drool over the guitar but the steeper obstacle in his career was the vocal training.
In my opinion his vocal work is better now than it has ever been. And that's even after losing 2 or 3 notes in his upper falsetto range, post vocal surgery. He has gotten away from the throat whisper thing he did his first 2 or 3 albums and he sounds better for it.
@james carrol, dude freaking awesome comment I can't disagree with you on that. I've be listening to him since his first album and such fascinating evolution he's had..
100% agree as well. I totally love it. Been listening to it many many times now. Came out of nowhere. I wonder what he was singing to himself during that lick
no not at all he is widely celebrated and respected musician, his music is like wine the older it becomes more beautiful, generally people who pass him off are the people with little or low affinity in music and the less talented ones who knows they can never play as better as him
@@jayceoksiuta9082 highly addictive music each song has so much tones, colours, progression, lyrics to explore, generally guitarists love such type of music
@@jelleklumpenaar1715 Looks like Roland's Juno 60 and another Juno, plus a Prophet V and maybe an Oberheim OB-X? You can tell it's a guitar video - sexy clear shots of the guitar, synths hidden in shadow. ;)
@@johnmayer1918 You put the magic back in my Christmas with this late night comment on Christmas night, John 🌟 I will be at your concert tonight in Denver 🥰 #shotinthedark #lasttrainhome ❤
Merry Christmas, John! ✨🎄✨ Wishing you a day filled with joy and happiness. It’s been a very cold Christmas Eve here in CO. Snuggled up and keeping warm listening to your music. ❤️
He’s phenomenal. While I agree the solo is beautiful; I’ve never once heard a John Mayer solo that wasn’t breathtaking. That said, I’m mesmerized by the intro on this song. There’s just something about it that I can’t put my finger on, but it’s soul deep ❤️
It's 80's - 90's Clapton i.e. Journeyman Album amongst others... It's defo Clapton in tone and production and I just think it's F ing FANTASTIC ..... Well done John Mayer from an avid fan of both you and Eric, Long may you continue to grow... Need to see you in the UK soon PLEASE!!!!!!!
@@TheBiglfb oh god bless you! I couldn’t agree more! I heard Journeyman all the way through and it took me back to a younger time! It was great. Yes, the Sob Rock album is fantastic!
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
John Mayer is the kind of artist that writes and plays a song that makes you think "there is NO way this song could get better, it's just THAT good"... then he releases something like this & can hit you with a whole different set of feels. Those electric solos ughhhh 🤯 🙌 🙌
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. ❤
I am extremelly impressed by the mixing of this song. The room sound is incredible. The drum mixing is simply oustanding. John's guitar is super compressed and the chorus add the nostalgic vibes he intended for this album. All around a great production!
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!!!
This really does sound like the solo in "No More Lonely Nights!" Great 80s vibe here. I'm a big fan of McCartney and John Mayer too so it was fun to see someone point out this similarity!
One of my favourite corners in the internet is a John Mayer comment section! The support and love for what he does so incredibly well warms my heart! I love this community so much! ⭐
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

I love the image of everyone warming up in the studio and getting ready. John just walks up, says nothing, straps on his pink PRS and lays down this track in one take like a boss.
He looks like a kid in a candy shop at the end. So much joy looking around at all the other incredible musicians he's playing with. Those are the moments we all live for!
Just when I didn’t think it could get any more 80s, somehow you did it. This song is a treasure and it just keeps on giving. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
That pink guitar looks the same one that given to Blackpink Rose as a gift from John Mayer.. (not sure tough if exactly same thing as seen this video or just same model.. )
This is my all time fave John Mayer song. The passion he has playing it's just so beautiful. Takes you deep and far away as music should. Just soulful❤
A lot of people are probably going crazy for that amazing solo, but I tear up at the intro and start of the first verse (first 90 secs...ish). Feels like some one transcribed my soul straight to music. Phenomenal work by John and all musicians involved 🔥
Every time, that intro gives me goosies on my cheeks 😊 his sound moves me like no other. “Not myself” way back when, was the first time I didn’t feel alone. And ever since my heart fiends for his sound ❤
I agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul…
John releasing something new unexpectedly.. can anything be better than this?! Amazing version and beautiful solo, I’d listen to it as many minutes as it gets! ❤️
Thank you so much🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for your love ❤and support from onset, it's a thing of joy that am blessed with the best fans, thank you so much, I do appreciate you and everyone out there ,kindly send me a direct message using via messenger okay 🙏🏻
2 years later, still back. Still listening. Still vibing. I love the intensity. It’s like John has a compulsive passion within him to play, and almost can’t bring himself to stop. It’s so contagious. As much as he keeps going, I’m compelled to be here for it. ❤
I’m 60 and have watched John Mayer progress throughout his musical career, his playing has evolved very nicely. Great songwriter and a great blues style guitar player 👍✌️
How do you define "craziest"? If this solo, with its unlimited amount of feel and soul, isn't crazy, then I'm sorry to say it, but you have a warped understanding of the term "crazy" from a musical perspective. This is crazy in its purest form.
I agree. The runs aren't crazy super long or intricate. But Mayer almost always builds a solo to the best that solo can be. Atleast for me, its about the feeling Mayer leaves me with after a solo like this one. He plays in an almost vocal manner and my brain loves that shit. I'm aware you weren't bashing Mayer lol, you'd have to be ignorant not to acknowledge his talent and ability. Just stating my two cents i guess.
😂 it’s because he’s basically doing an impersonation of an album from the 80s. Listen to some Springsteen and Phil Collins and then Bon Iver Bin Iver from like 15 years ago. I mean this is a good JM song but he’s very obviously and deliberately (he’s fairly self-aware) standing on the heads of giants. Don’t get it twisted. He’s kinda always got a schtick in an “I know I’m an asshole” kinda way. I actually like this vibe for once. But it’s nothing new, this vibe is as old as him.
I don’t care what anyone says, John Mayer is one of my favorite musicians of all time. I mean his level of musicality is out of this world. It’s almost abnormal. I appreciate his mastery so much and hope to finally see him live someday. ❤

And we love it ☺️
Hi Paul
you don't know what you're talking about...oh wait 😳
Had a bowl of cornflakes this morning, Surely enough i was ripping into those little crispy flakes with minor pentatonic licks and a little dance
This song should never be performed any other way. This is THE version.
Exactly what I’m thinking
Agree!
I actually now think this, this version, is the best song John Mayer has ever made. This is SO GOOD

Yeah lol, nice hair leads to great art....🙄😬
@@danrebolledo8385 no talent does but he's just saying that because continuum was arguably his best album and he had long hair for that one
@@ChilliCasperCorbett that's a great record by any definition. And while it changed a lot of people into Mayer fans and produced a couple classics, Room for Squares changed music (short hair) 🤷♂️
I love John's music (and how Prince took over his body at 3:34 and exploded at 4:40 … then finished this beautiful song.... just wow.)
Best musician of our generation, that guitar solo was breathtaking!
Is it just me or did he just reinvented a signature riff that he also used in Ryan Adams' song, F*** the Rain? It's just so good
I always thought it lacked a solo. Now it is done 👌🏾👌🏾
AGREED!
Seen him live a few times and I get chills everything he goes in to the zone with these solos
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....
Easily the best musician, most soulful blues player, and best songwriter of his generation
One of the best, the best at all those things, maybe that’s an exaggeration in my opinion, it’s not a competition tho
lol cmon pal
its subjective pal
And arguably the best guitar player ever.
A respected watch collector/horologist too!
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.
that " do more like Continuum and now i realized ..... " same thought... and it is absolutely true
I think the diversity of his albums is what makes him so special. Not many artists have the guts to experiment with different sounds like he does.
@@sicboi I hope John sticks to the thought of loving melodic songs, but you could be right and he might experiment in the jazz direction one day.
Srsly man.. i didn’t know that his guitar playing even can get improved more, because he has been a master player for last decade. And now i’m like.. wow.. that touch

This song understands you've had a long stressful day. It knows what you're going through. It's here for you. Take it in. Breathe it in. Let go.
one of the greatest musicians of my 67 years
One thing you cannot doubt about John is his integrity as a musician

I can’t remember the last time a modern song felt this timeless
Modern music is a shit.
Last time a modern song felt so timeless ? Maybe- " Gravity " ?
this isn't really modern. Song could have been made and performed in the 1980s. It's great though both the original and this slower version :)
@@Faiunsoldecaralllo No it isn't. You're just not very good at finding the good stuff.
This is so true!!!!
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!!!
I tried but he cancelled all of florida
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.
@@ryan0150 why’d he cancel Florida?
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
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.
This song makes me want to go home to my wife and dance with her, but I can't dance and I'm not married.
Well said!! 😂😂
😂

LOLOLOLOLOLLLLL😅
Feel you Sir 🗿🙂
This guy personifies pure musical joy. And he transmits that same contagious joy to his listeners. Like a musical virus whose only symptoms are second-hand guitar faces and a total, systemic numbness. Unbelievable.
Jason Mraz is another artist who just has a ton of joy in every one of this song, and many sound like a jam session, such a great vibe to them. His live stuff is excellent.
@@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.
Tell me you’re an infectious disease doctor without telling me you’re an infectious disease doctor
@@tomtankengine0 I concur that Mayer is the better artist, no doubt. I was just pointing out that pure joy of expression, jubilance of having fun is consistently in Mraz’s music as well. 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.
@@TheTommyCraft My bad, I misinterpreted your comment completely. It has become so easy to assume people are just sparking 'Mayer vs XYZ' arguments these days! Mayer, Mraz and Jack Johnson are all in a similar, 'warm-hug' kind of vein.
You know your a good guitar player when the pianist is pulling a guitar face....AWESOME JOB!!!!
There is an aura from this song even watching it on here that reminds me of the feeling one gets seeing John live. It envelops; warmth; comfort; a palpable sound. And then, John lifts the cozy blanket and leads us from comfort to pure joy with the outro. Slow. Clap. Mr. Mayer.
what an excellent comment of yours! Thanks.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today I hope you are doing well?

Hi appreciate your love and support thanks for been a true fan . Reply me here .
Crazy that people used to think he's "just a pop star". He's honestly one of the greatest guitarists ever.
No lo discuto pero falla en algunas notas.
Amazing talent
@@Ralaboys Como todos, hasta Paco de Lucia fallaba a veces
In an interview a couple of years ago, Eric Clapton said John Meyer was a "guitar master". Pretty lofty praise.
@@armcchargues8623 Eric also said "I don't think John knows how good he is" - I agree.
He's got to be proud of what he's done vocally over the last few decades. People always drool over the guitar but the steeper obstacle in his career was the vocal training.
In my opinion his vocal work is better now than it has ever been. And that's even after losing 2 or 3 notes in his upper falsetto range, post vocal surgery. He has gotten away from the throat whisper thing he did his first 2 or 3 albums and he sounds better for it.
@@ronaldmckee7542 Wow thanks for the insight
@@ronaldmckee7542 his voice peaked in 06-07 its been downhill since his issues with his throat.
@james carrol, dude freaking awesome comment I can't disagree with you on that. I've be listening to him since his first album and such fascinating evolution he's had..
Maybe his more passionate w/ his guitar playing than his singing...✌️
He makes the guitar sing like a human voice. And his vocals have greatly improved
This entire band is an all-star cast. Masters of all their respective crafts

@@DaveRevst4548he was definitely thinking outside the box there.
John's guitar talent is overlooked, i think too many people pass him off as just another pop artist
no not at all he is widely celebrated and respected musician, his music is like wine the older it becomes more beautiful, generally people who pass him off are the people with little or low affinity in music and the less talented ones who knows they can never play as better as him
I think the word underappreciate is quite not true, but yes some people do pass him off as just a pop artist while he’s actually an awesome blues dude

Merry Christmas, John! ✨🎄✨
Wishing you a day filled with joy and happiness. It’s been a very cold Christmas Eve here in CO. Snuggled up and keeping warm listening to your music. ❤️
when John Mayer nails the vibe, it's sweet perfection. man is a national treasure.
He’s phenomenal. While I agree the solo is beautiful; I’ve never once heard a John Mayer solo that wasn’t breathtaking. That said, I’m mesmerized by the intro on this song. There’s just something about it that I can’t put my finger on, but it’s soul deep ❤️
Amen.
It's 80's - 90's Clapton i.e. Journeyman Album amongst others... It's defo Clapton in tone and production and I just think it's F ing FANTASTIC ..... Well done John Mayer from an avid fan of both you and Eric, Long may you continue to grow... Need to see you in the UK soon PLEASE!!!!!!!

@@saicasadoranbu6019 xD
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
I agree 100%. I wish he'd re-record some of his old songs with his new buttery voice. It's just gorgeous

Whenever you have a discussion about best guitarists, you have to include this man.
More of this please Mr Mayer!
Yessssssssssss! Whole sobrock please 😍
Sure
i think that All I Want Is to Be with You would be a good choice
Yes agree
I think so
What a giant tribute to Clapton. Tone, skill and tasteful licks for days....
John Mayer is the kind of artist that writes and plays a song that makes you think "there is NO way this song could get better, it's just THAT good"... then he releases something like this & can hit you with a whole different set of feels. Those electric solos ughhhh 🤯 🙌 🙌
His singular style + the subtle Toto influences are just magic.
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. ❤
Hi to
Oldies but goodies
Yes he told that it was a one taker! Incredible musicians ❤️
Best concert I've ever been to, Stockholm 2019. Absolutely unmatched with everything i have been to.
💯. Twice I’ve had the pleasure.
This version makes the lyrics hit in a different way. Absolutely gorgeous. A masterful performance.
I can’t ever get enough of his guitar playing, like Clapton, never enough guitar in his songs for me
Crapton
I am extremelly impressed by the mixing of this song. The room sound is incredible. The drum mixing is simply oustanding. John's guitar is super compressed and the chorus add the nostalgic vibes he intended for this album. All around a great production!
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!!!
I got the same vibes of no more lonely night as well!!!
Really from Abba to ZZ-Top
This really does sound like the solo in "No More Lonely Nights!" Great 80s vibe here. I'm a big fan of McCartney and John Mayer too so it was fun to see someone point out this similarity!
I got them Toto vibes for sure
One of my favourite corners in the internet is a John Mayer comment section! The support and love for what he does so incredibly well warms my heart! I love this community so much! ⭐
Thanks for your kindness and support

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
I really appreciate thanks
Possibly one of the best guitar solos ever recorded
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
And I surrender

(Ooh)
This man knows how exactly to do it!! Gotta love him!
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Mayer, I tell you now, and with God as my witness: You sir are a living legend!
Thanks babe 🥰 hope you won't stop listening to my music
@@johnmayer1918 this version of this song is the only video I’ve watched for the last 48 hours. Thank you 🙏
I love the image of everyone warming up in the studio and getting ready. John just walks up, says nothing, straps on his pink PRS and lays down this track in one take like a boss.
Most likely it's not even too far away from the truth
See if you can spot the bum note.
There is quite a bit of editing there. What makes you think it was only one take?
He looks like a kid in a candy shop at the end. So much joy looking around at all the other incredible musicians he's playing with. Those are the moments we all live for!
Just when I didn’t think it could get any more 80s, somehow you did it. This song is a treasure and it just keeps on giving. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Just amazing🥺 and that pink guitar...😌
Never thought the rug lady I like to watch would be here
That pink guitar looks the same one that given to Blackpink Rose as a gift from John Mayer.. (not sure tough if exactly same thing as seen this video or just same model.. )
Pepto bismol guitar
@@ashiashihatra7728 yeah! I noticed too
It's a pink floyd guitar
he feels the music,that's what music should do
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!
I was working but I lost my train of thought while listening to this version!
I want that guitar solo to continue endlessly.
2yrs, and THE WAY this song STILL makes me feel
This is my all time fave John Mayer song. The passion he has playing it's just so beautiful. Takes you deep and far away as music should. Just soulful❤
A lot of people are probably going crazy for that amazing solo, but I tear up at the intro and start of the first verse (first 90 secs...ish). Feels like some one transcribed my soul straight to music. Phenomenal work by John and all musicians involved 🔥
Beautifully written
Every time, that intro gives me goosies on my cheeks 😊 his sound moves me like no other. “Not myself” way back when, was the first time I didn’t feel alone. And ever since my heart fiends for his sound ❤
same for me man 👍
Same here man, that opening line made me almost tear up.
Same
Awesome song. Thanks for existing John 🔥
Without knowing this was JM, if someone told me that guitar solo was Prince or Clapton, I'd totally believe it. Incredible!!
Every Mayer-fan knows that he dropped this version just so he could sqeeze in this amazing solo... cause that was missing in the first one!
Thanks tho 🥰 hope you won't stop listening to my music
I agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul…
Man, this hits me so hard. It feels nostalgic yet modern and real.
John releasing something new unexpectedly.. can anything be better than this?! Amazing version and beautiful solo, I’d listen to it as many minutes as it gets! ❤️

People are talking about the solo, but my god the chord changes have so much breathing space here. Feels like I am sipping on a smoothie for ever.
I’m 60 and have watched John Mayer progress throughout his musical career, his playing has evolved very nicely. Great songwriter and a great blues style guitar player 👍✌️
4:20 McFly.. Your kids are gonna love it 🎶
Fantastic! And 4:49 also
His guitar solo runs aren’t the craziest, but they just seem to do it. So mush soul in his playing, and that's what makes him the best at it.
How do you define "craziest"? If this solo, with its unlimited amount of feel and soul, isn't crazy, then I'm sorry to say it, but you have a warped understanding of the term "crazy" from a musical perspective. This is crazy in its purest form.
@@alebo0 lol shut up if u don’t get what i mean.
I agree. The runs aren't crazy super long or intricate. But Mayer almost always builds a solo to the best that solo can be. Atleast for me, its about the feeling Mayer leaves me with after a solo like this one. He plays in an almost vocal manner and my brain loves that shit. I'm aware you weren't bashing Mayer lol, you'd have to be ignorant not to acknowledge his talent and ability. Just stating my two cents i guess.
@@ronaldmckee7542 perfectly said.
He leaves such a tasteful amount of breathing space, and makes every note count. His outros always remind me of a Houston/Dion/Carey-type crescendo.
The whole vibe to this performance is ethereal. Huge inspiration to the next generation of guitarists including myself of course.
Dude I checked your channel and your music is so good wtf
Go for it!!! All the best to you!! Keep it real! Stay humble!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hear you, in college all I listen to was John mayor burning room song 😁😁✊🏿😂
😂 it’s because he’s basically doing an impersonation of an album from the 80s. Listen to some Springsteen and Phil Collins and then Bon Iver Bin Iver from like 15 years ago. I mean this is a good JM song but he’s very obviously and deliberately (he’s fairly self-aware) standing on the heads of giants. Don’t get it twisted. He’s kinda always got a schtick in an “I know I’m an asshole” kinda way. I actually like this vibe for once. But it’s nothing new, this vibe is as old as him.
This is gonna hit right in the feels
I don’t care what anyone says, John Mayer is one of my favorite musicians of all time. I mean his level of musicality is out of this world. It’s almost abnormal. I appreciate his mastery so much and hope to finally see him live someday. ❤
