- There was one song @johnmayer wrote for Continuum that didn't make the album because John thought that he would have to sing it his whole life. That song was Over And Over.
It's yet to be released, but John sang a snippet of the song on the @premierguitar Wong Notes podcast ( • John Mayer Plays an Un... ).
If you are reading this John, please release it, it's amazing!
(For my regular viewers, sorry that this isn't what you expected but I'm still sick...I'll try to make something once I'm better) - Hudba
I normally don't post this, but I love this song so much I had to post it just for me (and so I can listen to it in the hospital)!
The chords are: A - F#m - Bm - E --> A - G - D - E --> A - F#m - Bm - E
you are the goat for this. was trying to figure this out last night hahaha
@@tylerhess6259 just tried to play it and, but I think it's those chords! I could be wrong with the first E though!
E7* ;)
I looked little deeper into the chords.
The chords are basically just as you figured, A - F#m - Bm7(I hear so) - E7.
But from his old live version(low quality audio thing), he uses ton of interesting voicings. For example, instead of just Bm7, he plays B7sus2-B7sus. And for the G chord, he plays something like G6(9), which is an awsome place to stop by while moving from A to Bm. Also you can replace Bm7 with D or Dsus2 and it will sound just right(Dsus2 sounds better). John Mayer just never stops teaching me.
😭😭😭 WOW that's pretty
I think it's time for all the songs that didn't make Continuum to be released. Maybe call that album "Continuued"
That would be amazing and a hilarious album name! I'm sure John would approve of that! 😅
I actually laughed out loud AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA this is too good
There were rumors he wanted to call the album of unreleased songs or those not recorded on studio "Zero", which is pretty clever. Not sure which idea i like it more, because "Continnued" fits his funny side too
Upvoted, then took away so I could upvote again. Awesome idea.
Discontinuum
I've been singing "over & over" all day. Its impossible to not get this stuck in your head.
Same man! Whenever I see my guitar these days I pick it up and jam to the song
You mean you've been singing it over and over
Can we have an Over & Over "Challenge", where musicians try to complete the song? That might eventually spur John Mayer to finish it himself! #overandoverchallenge
That is a great idea!
MAKE THIS VIRALLLL
I think John would actually appreciate the F out of that
Lucky for you I already did it 😈
time to learn guitar just so i can join too
Definitely in that continuum vein. Hope he finishes it and bless us w another hit
In the podcast he said Continuum was almost a double album! I would love to know what other songs never made the final 12...
@@MovingSoundcloud can't take that plane(it was the last song cut off the album) and I imagine why did you mess with forever was meant to be on it as well
@@MovingSoundcloud Here are some known ones that didn't make it: "Trust Myself Part II" | "The Hurt" | "Please Tell Your Boyfriend To Chill (w/Herbie Hancock)" | "Can't Take That Plane" | "Over and Over"
@@drewsapp4384 I think probably not, since WDYMWF is really old, like before his first album
Wow. Best love song John has ever written. there's no doubt in my mind if he released this in 2006 on Continuum it would have been the biggest hit he ever had. This is "Thinking Out Loud" years earlier.
Knowing how easily John forgets how to play his old songs live... this must really still be that special for him to remember how to play it and still know the lyrics. I'm sure it'll come out one day when he's ready.
i mean its 3 chords
More like “Perfect” than “Thinking Out Loud”, but definitely an Ed Sheeran vibe.
its definelty coming out sometime in the future
its only a question of how far into the future
@@liamouziel211 you think so? Cuz I hope so
unpolished John Mayer is better than anyone else's polished.
Anyone?
@@2v_5r84 anyone
Oh man! This is incredible. Like meeting a new friend thats also an old friend.
That solo is just so lovely, nothing hard or extremely technical about it but just sooo tasteful, that’s what it’s all about, he knows how to make that guitar sing out his emotions
I think John would get great appreciation for releasing an EP with unrealesed songs, at this stage in his career
Lyrics:
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
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
We’re good on time, we’re good
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 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 lost your way, and I’m doing fine
I’ll even lose my place in line
I’ll help you find whatever your, whatever you think you’re looking for
Cause guess who, desperately wants you
Over and Over, Over and Over
He wrote his best love, romantic songs 16-20 years ago as a young boy.
There are probably many more such songs written "to the drawer".
Maybe someday he will open her for us.......
John said that this song (Over and Over) came off the album because he wrote I’m Gonna Find Another You, not that he turned it to become I’m Gonna Find Another You :).
He also said some time ago that he liked to release an album with the songs that almost made the albums (Zero). Let’s pray! :)
That’d be sooo nice, he’s got some great unreleased songs like this one, I can’t take that plane or sucker, and many great covers
Yeah, that’d be amazing! The fact that songs like Covered in Rain never made it on any of his albums is crazy.
Definitely hits a different feel than the current Sob Rock vibe. Have to say... the Continuum era of songs are my favorite. 👌💯
way better
Way better.
way way better
Yessirrr
Exactly my thoughts.. we need a continuum part 2
Jesus ..
“You can cut your hair just to grow it back, you can dye your hair in the sink until it turns black… I’ll recognize you “
Brought me to tears thinking what a clever line that is and John doesn’t think it’s good enough to release
yeah exactly lol john mayer didnt want to release it cause he knew hed have to play it for the rest of his career. people would be playing it on weddings, events, honeymoons.
Yeah....I never could understand why he felt this song was incomplete. He's said multiple times that he "couldn't get the bridge to work" but John....you DON'T need a bridge on this song. Two sections, verse / chorus / verse / chorus > Awesome outro solo. Done. Pack it and ship it John. It's a hit.
I just want to listen to it....over and over
Man that chorus is super catchy
Quality editing on this, the fade in and cuts between sequences. Legend, Ty
This has written Jeff Buckley all over it, i love it
exactly why i love it, it’s dripping in jeff buckley
Yes! I felt that tooo
I keep listening to this Over and Over. This guy makes masterpieces that he doesnt even bother releasing
Chords:
A, F#m, Bm and E
In the podcast he mentioned he had a double album for continuum at first. He has throwaway albums better than most artists best submissions.
He makes me want to be creative, just dim the lights with a guitar and my diary has been my agenda for most weekend evenings.
Wish I could loop that guitar solo 🥲
Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! 💓
I love this.
We need this 😩 what a solo
I was a bit confused because I love JM but it’s coming from an ambience channel which I also love. Like two worlds collided!
Well I wasn't planning on posting anything, but since I found the song too beautiful to be left unnoticed...
That’s such a beautiful song! 🤗 I hope John releases this soon 🔜
Listened to the Wong Notes podcast today. Had to come check out this song tonight after having it stuck in my head.
Oh man he should release it, what a beautiful song
Please finish this and make it the biggest hit in the world
Man, so good, he has to finish this someday. Has to...too good
this song would totally be a hit
Wooo!!! Lawd geezus that boy John is on another level 🎚️🎚️ this got me in my feelings 😭😭😭
Perfection. Just as it is, it’s my favorite John Mayer song. 💕
i love him
Darling- stuck with me after one listen!
I am tearing at the beauty of this song
The hurt and this are now my favorite unreleased track by john.
This song is sooo good 😭💙 If he doesn’t ever release this it will be the crime against humanity
Yes! 😫
This would’ve been the perfect pairing to I’m gonna find another you to book mark the album it would have fit so perfectly
This is our song, I’ll write one like it for her one day. I hope she still listens, and thinks of me when she does.
Soul searching must have touched your fingers, John.
Keep on keeping on, You will soon find a love that surrounds you and guides your fingers with real love. It will take a hell of a person to show you a love that is much more than what your fingers can strum on a guitar. I imagine that many have tried to be more important to you than music without knowing that it can not happen. You were born with the gift of music. But, they are closer than you realize.
Keep writing and feel the rhythm, let your words flow as smoothly as satin.
Your biggest fan
Lynn Thompson
I would do anything to have this released
Words to live by,ty john
this guy is a music factory
Definitely gem
Please release this!
This is my favorite song of him
magical
Can promise I will play this at my wedding
Man should've released this
This sounds like something you'd find on a DRH record.
I would die for this to be my wedding song
Isn't it interesting that he still remembers the lyrics? I think something is going to happen....Just sayin'
I think every artist should write and record at least one more extra song for each record they put out, and not release it until years later. Artists change so much over time, as everyone does, which would make the final release so much more meaningful and well-received, because listeners can hear that special sound once again, the sound they thought was lost to time, in a seemingly brand new song. It’s actually a bit sad.
Release thissssssssssss!!!!
Wow.
Great editing by the way
Thank you!
Oh yeah that’s gotta be the black one and the dumble. So good! I would’ve loved to have heard that solo ramp up for another few minutes going into the blues scale stuff more than he did.
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
This is raw, real, old school love which lasts a lifetime. Once I read the love letters my Dad wrote to my Mum when they were first dating.It lasted until the day he passed away, eerily the Ides of March, 1995.They were best friends and soulmates. Do you believe in love at first sight?
I am so sorry for your loss Simone. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and be with you and keep eternal love in your heart forever and ever ❤️
@@aaronshinbrot8086 Thank you Aaron for your kind comment. I am deeply touched by your sincerity. It was a rough week remembering my beloved parents.Thank you for being a ray of sunshine and inspiration. Blessings to you and your family always and forever.
This is just fucking amazing!
i hope he releases this song with cory wong on rhythm im assuming he was playing rhythm when john hit that solo at the end, ive been wanting a collab from them for years cool to see there becoming friends and jamming together
Oh Ed Sheeran wishes he could have written this one.
This editing is almost as good as the song
What was thinking John About this? Why this masterpiece is not in Continuum?? Damn.
I think it was cut out of here, but in the podcast he says they couldn’t figure out the bridge section to really make it a finished song. As he put it, the rest of the song was too good for the bridge to not be
So tasty, hope we get an official release of all these amazing songs one day
God has a funny way of blessing you with such songs when you are really hurt.. it's like a patch...
it’s not too late to switch this with in repair 🙏🙏
Wow, totally didn't expect him to resurrect this one. There's a great video on here (audio with pics) of him playing it to a crowd during the making of Continuum. He also performed the song back in 2004 at Housing Works for a small room, where he also debuted Another Kind of Green, both on acoustic guitar. My feeling is that he later wrote I'm Gonna Find Another You and replaced this with that tune since they are musically in the same slow BB King blues vein. This would have definitely been a great bonus track. Our loss. Here's a link to an earlier performance:
czcams.com/video/-xbv6Ow0TAQ/video.html
He also played it at the viper room at a private party for his then girlfriend & my boss when I was working for my previous employer. I like this one with the electric better
Does anyone know more songs like this one? Like simple love ballads played on electric guitar, I feel like I've heard this style before but can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance
Remind me semplicity of ed's *perfect* but with sensible touch o john and his own styls
I have just put another version of this amazing song on my channel with no stops and a key change at the end.
Wow, this song is lit and really worth hearing. Won't you be given a copyright for this?
it's a live performance plus it has never been officially released so it's all good
Also, my channel is full of copyrighted music. My channel is demonitezed. If John has any problems with this being up, I will gladly delete this. 😊
@@MovingSoundcloud It's such a brave act to not earn a single penny from all these work. I respect you!
I like that he goes up higher on the second "Over" in the chorus on this version vs the original old cuts of this song.
John, take that shit out, I want to hear it “ over and over “🗿
Probably what evolved to be : Im gonna find another you
Maybe?
It has a lot of similarities, but it's weird that after all these years he still remembers the lyrics perfectly.
If it changed into another songw I doubt he would remember those lyrics...
Any way you could post a version with the full solo? Maybe pull the audio from the full podcast recording? Great edit though.
I wasn't able to download the full podcast sadly...
What podcast was it on?
@@MrQwerty1242 Wong Notes, the link to the video is in the description. The full podcast is available on Spotify! 😊

I don’t know why but it really reminds me of Jeff Buckley. Vibes are really similar, especially in the intro
Sounds good Jeff Buckley!
part of me is glad john didn't release this. His reasoning might sound a bit popous (on brand for mayer of that era) but he was a 100% right considering continuum's lasting success. Those type of love songs weren't really his brand back then. This songs would have made it his brand, and more songs like this is what the world would've come to expect of him
it would have been kind of the second coming of wonderland haha (which to be fair, is a pop song i will always adore)
Add one more line the picture is ruined...leave it as is! picture perfect! Musically its perfect.
He's gotta record it now, with Cory Wong and Steve Jordon.
💞💫💞💫💞💫 Guess who desperately wants you... ☺Over & Over 🙌💖🙌
Hey mike
He’s an idiot for not putting this out back then. This probably would have been one of his biggest hits. That chorus is just old school stuck in your head catchy. His time of having major popular hits has been over for awhile. Not cuz skills or anything involving him really, it’s just how music is. Once you have your hit song, you got the public’s attention span for a hot minute and that’s it. He’s put out many great songs and albums over his career and I enjoy his music, but damn with that chorus during his initial run of popularity… that could have been wonderwall huge. On the other hand it does say a lot and it’s pretty bad ass to be able to say that you can leave hits like this in a drawer lol.
Yes, imagine if he put it out as a single after waiting on the world. The momentum was with him at that time. If any popular artist releases this today it will still be a big hit . Yes you can say he has great catalogue of unreleased song and doesn't release a 90% finished song , that makes him all the more special and what not but this could have sky rocketed his career.
Has he ever slipped this into one of his concerts, even just acoustically ?
Yes, there are acoustic performances, you'd find them here on YT ,they are from 2004-05
I'm happy we got I'm Gonna Find Another You over this song it's in the same vein however, I'm Gonna Find Another another you really pays more tribute to that type of songwriting from that era. I feel like John also felt that way and thus didn't put it on the record. This is a great tune though that's for sure!
If it was this or I’m gonna find another you I’m totally happy with what he did. I absolutely love the ‘where the light is’ live version, especially with the full intro (which is only on CZcams)
Hope you are doing well😃
also thanks to cory wong, we might not have heard such a beautiful song otherwise.
This should’ve been on Continuum
Oh yeah absolutely!!
Reminds me of Aerosmith's Crazy
I feel like this song would have fit "The Search For Everything" so well!
ps. this old video is the first thing I thought of while listening to the solo/lead at the end.

what is the key of the song ?
Mate, how is your health now?
