The Land Rover ad made me go here. I’m kind of between: hoping he makes a studio version of this to share the world vs he keeps this song to himself, bc he deserves a great song just for him.
I tried to write the words as best I could. I can't figure out that one verse noted by my question mark. Here's what I came up with. A Simple Song by John Mayer I don’t want to get advice on private flights to paradise no more And I don’t wanna suffer fools or sycophants by swimming pools and dance floors I just wanna hide a tone and low (?) I hat to call my home A bag that won’t hold much And a simple song to sing when I’m alone Ooh I been kind to angry souls In hopes they wouldn’t be so cold and empty But I don’t want to live off crumbs And wait for love that never comes to get me (Here’s what I want) I just wanna hide a tone and low (?) I hat to call my home A bag that won’t hold much And a simple song to sing when I’m alone la la la la la la la la la la la la la Ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Yeah I think I’m gonna leave this town Let a little bit of open road surround me out there Cause you can’t be lonely when you stare into That sunny yellow flare oh yeah Just wanna hide the tone and low (?) I hat to call my home A bag that won’t hold much A dog who lives the dream Some booze that I can feel A good day once a week And a simple song to sing when I’m alone And I go la la la la la la la la la la la la la (x2)
Of course I had to look up "sycophants". If I just took every word that I hear JM say that I don't understand, found its meaning, and integrated it into my vocabulary, that would be great. I guess if I had a mom who was an English teacher that brought the dictionary to the dinner table, that might have helped.

I think the version in the Land Rover presentation sounds a bit better. I think it’s half a step down and there’s a better harmony between his guitar and voice. However, this is a fuller version- so I like that a lot too. Easier to listen on repeat.
Okay, but the cynic here says "Good luck finding a high that don't end low." What goes up, must come own. That's the way this wheel keeps working out. I like the song, though.
The Land Rover vid sent me here
It sent me here too. What a beautiful song!
me too !
Did anyone else notice that old lady definitely got high from touching that tree
Same here! Let's hope he releases an official version of this song, simply beautiful ❤️
Didn’t know this existed! Love it!
Never has a landrover add made my cry so much.
Or any other add

Who the heck talks during a John Mayer concert??
exactly! why even pay hundreds of dollars to come to these things if you arent into the music enough to shut the fuck up for 2 hours ...unbelievable
Horny women who have no interest in music whatsoever
Babblers
Agree
This song has got one of the best melodies I ever heard, especially the chorus. Even his simple songs are masterpieces...
Imagine writing a song this good, and never recording it...
Who's watching this after watching the land rover advert 🤷♂️
That bridge is beautiful. The melody is insane, this is very well written.
Now I have to figure out how to make the payments on this new Defender sitting in my driveway. :/ Thanks John.
These lyrics are probably some of my favorite and most evocative from JM. Literally everything hits.
If only there wasnt someone shouting through the first couple of minutes
He's so underrated and underappreciated
❤️❤️❤️
Simply. Just. Needed. To. Hear. This. Song
The girl screaming in the background
I've never been so annoyed.
if ever someone deserved to get stabbed in the fucking jugular lol
Still come back to this song every so often, just feel like I need to hear it just to keep myself going
This is the cleanest audio I’ve ever heard in a concert
Try actually being at one of his shows. Kinda kills concerts worse sound techs. Absolutely spoilt.
the bridge is just beautiful.
I think I hear these lines: "Get invites on private flights "; "a high that dont end low" "some blues that I can feel" Awesome post. Thx so much.
Unbelievable! I've been wanting to listen to the rest of this song for so long! Thanks for posting!
I tried to write the words as best I could. I can't figure out that one verse noted by my question mark. Here's what I came up with.
A Simple Song by John Mayer
I don’t want to get advice on
private flights to paradise no more
And I don’t wanna suffer fools or sycophants
by swimming pools and dance floors
I just wanna hide a tone and low (?)
I hat to call my home
A bag that won’t hold much
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone
Ooh
I been kind to angry souls
In hopes they wouldn’t be so cold and empty
But I don’t want to live off crumbs
And wait for love that never comes to get me
(Here’s what I want)
I just wanna hide a tone and low (?)
I hat to call my home
A bag that won’t hold much
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Yeah I think I’m gonna leave this town
Let a little bit of open road surround me out there
Cause you can’t be lonely when you stare into
That sunny yellow flare oh yeah
Just wanna hide the tone and low (?)
I hat to call my home
A bag that won’t hold much
A dog who lives the dream
Some booze that I can feel
A good day once a week
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone
And I go la la la la la la la la la la la la la (x2)
"get in fights on private flights"
Thank you, Eve. It may be "get in fights on private flights". Appreciate you doing this.
it's "a high that don't end low" ..... I also thought it was "some blues that I can feel" but hey I could be wrong
Genius
yeah, a high that dont end low
King of gems
This guy is just magic , musical blessing
Of course I had to look up "sycophants". If I just took every word that I hear JM say that I don't understand, found its meaning, and integrated it into my vocabulary, that would be great. I guess if I had a mom who was an English teacher that brought the dictionary to the dinner table, that might have helped.
SIMPLY wonderful 😊
This is one of his best. First time I've heard it.
Beautiful.
Still cant believe he played this tonight. Completely blew my mind. Thanks for uploading it
Joe Wamser was that from Tinley park Illinois?
No it was from Detroit/Clarkston
Love it! I hope he officially releases it one day. 😄
Miss Lady it will probably be on 'zero'
Can’t wait for this to be an actual recording
Not gonna happen. Thats the point
Such a treat seeing this song tonight. Thanks for the upload!
There's a movie, named 'Youth' (michael caine), my first listen takes me to this movie
Thanks for uploading it.
Thanks so much, Karri! This is wonderful and beautiful in every way!
I can't believe he did this! Thanks Karri
C'mon man.. if I wrote a song that good I'd play it everywhere i went, beautiful and depressing at the same time >.
He messes up at 3:27 and then just improvises a fucking verse. Wow.
Do you know what is the correct verse for this part?
that was so awesome!
🎉Happy Birthday🎉John Mayer on October 16th 2023 🥳🎂🎊
O thumbs down, thats our John.

Love this thank you. Too bad there are so many people talking in the background.

Paxton i agree. it’s not a half step down from standard tuning, but this is just with a capo. love the chord progression!
What the fuck is up w the stars they make it look more beautiful wowowww
lyrics please
He played this for the new Ford Defender Commercial, you can listen to the better quality of this song there if you want 🙂
Land Rover**
What are the words he is singing towards the end? anybody?
This shud be a single
Pls we need a guitar lesson for this one
It´s not hard to play :D It´s a Simple Song ;)
I'm sure you'll get what you want.
"I want a high that don't let low."? That can't be right. I f anyone gets the lyrics please share. Thank you.
Diane Big "I just want a high that don't end low."
You clearly don’t do drugs diane lol
Brb getting a Land Rover
how is this song is not on spotify?
Why on EVERY john mayer concert video i watch… its a women screaming some random s@&t in the middle of the song?
People needs to stfu at concerts fr
Okay, but the cynic here says "Good luck finding a high that don't end low." What goes up, must come own. That's the way this wheel keeps working out. I like the song, though.
old man always talk before sing
