I did not know that Alicia Keys did the ending vocal bits! So cool! Now I know there is even more of a connection of when she sang it with you in Times Square! It all makes sense now!!!
this is great but it's amazing to me how young he sounds, not just the tone but there's an innocence to the point that life hasn't completely fucked him yet
6:28 „Gravity hides behind desire“. Well John, the esoteric symbolism of this lyric means that desire binds one to the lower laws of gravity that pull energy down. Gravity are the laws of the ego and the desire is of the ego. The laws of levity on the other hands are the laws of God i.e. fulfillment, no desire, wholeness. That‘s what this existence was expressing through you as a conduit. You should have used this version on the album or at least that awesome lyric!
I almost always prefer demos and live versions to any studio albums. I feel like I am hearing the real magic happen without edits and for a true talent like JM I love getting a look behind the curtain at a master. Love his entire body of work and have been lucky enough to see him live. This demo seems more honest and vulnerable which I always prefer to polished and “smooth.” When artists pull their creations from the ether and you get to hear it, it is truly magic. Thank you for sharing this.
I also like demo's and outtakes. I've been on the lookout and collecting demo's for the past 20 years. I love the so called "work in progress" music and this Gravity is no exception.
Quelle plaisir de voir notre communauté John Mayer présente en France en nous faisant profiter de ses podcast qu’on ne peux pas écouter en France Hâte de tous se retrouver entre fan en Mars à Paris !! Merci merci merci
This is so awesome to hear, after so many years of listening to the final record. And I cracked up on 'the guitar solo, really took my time on that one' at 7:06.
Merci Merci mille fois d’être là John Mayer France ! Je suis tellement triste de ne pas pouvoir écouter Life with JM en France …. Et quel surprise ce matin 😀 postez au max je vais écouter en boucle 😅
Happy New YEAR John glad you made it back from Singapore. Hope your Cold lasts as long as you need rest. I love that I never have to change your Channel, I keep waiting for you to play a song I can't stand and then You Know John, I will change the Channel, with a press of my fingertips. I indeed love that you are your own DJ for your Own Channel.
john you are a an absolute legend i hope you know how appreciated you are as not only a singer/songwriter but as a human being. you are a personal hero of mine and i thank you for providing this original track for us to float away to. just wanted to give you your flowers man. thank you dude. hope to work with you one day. love.
I never noticed this before, but it kind of reminds me of St Patrick's Day. Something about this demo has an echo of that Room For Squares imprinted on it
Dear John, zbog ove pjesme koju sam čula tek prije 3 godine 😪 preslušala sam sve tvoje albume, i još uvijek ih studiram... Smatram te iznimnim čovjekom i umjetnikom 😊
Merci, merci for posting this masterpiece....BTW how do you make the wonder happen to listen to SiriusXM? As far as I know this App isn't available in Europe, only in the US? I appreciate it if you'll share the secrets.....😅. But pls post now and then some Sirius XM Channel 14 music or John talking with us, the "left behind" John Mayer fans. Thank you sooo much...
When I am in My Car I am Hooked up to John Mayer on SiriusXM. He Loves so many many many songs and Artists and he talks about not just himself, but All of Them.
As a metal guitarist who has gone to other things, you are one of those rare artist I really enjoy and listening to. Very hard to find someone to be a fan of at my age. And I am a fan.
I wish this was actually johns channel. Thanks for sharing. I feel like we got to kinda sneak into the archives for a second. Like we had the password to his phone or something
Avec grand plaisir :) Je n'ai pas encore trouvé le moyen (à part passer par un VPN en vous localisant depuis les US). Je vais poster le récapitulatif audio de la première journée d'émission cet après-midi sur la chaîne et je vais essayer de m'y tenir :)
I know it was Alicia Keys this entire time singing at the end!!! But did not know that this is John Mayer Playing and not Pino Palladino playing but John himself. Crazy!
My old keyboard player of 24 years wrote some incredible songs and would overdo them sometimes in the studio. I used to tell him just do it like your demo quit layering so much onto it, you're losing the idea and vibe, sorry the only words I can think of right now but you know what I'm sayin....lol This vocal was really nice. Sweet innocent and he should start singing the line about GRAVITY HIDES BEHIND DESIRE IN HIS AD LIB AT THE END......GREAT LINE
Uhmm, I don't think that John is playing the bass in this demo from 2006. It's actually his bassist, Pino Palladino, who handles the bass part. They often tour together as a trio, along with their drummer Steve Jordan.

That’s the tip of the mayer iceberg
Also John Legend!
An ad in the middle of the song when I’m groovin. It’s a sin.
RIGHT😂
this is great but it's amazing to me how young he sounds, not just the tone but there's an innocence to the point that life hasn't completely fucked him yet
hahahahhahahahah
“Gravity hides behind desire.” 🔥
Wooo, that song went through some stuff. Shows you how hard musicians work to refine their work.
6:28 „Gravity hides behind desire“. Well John, the esoteric symbolism of this lyric means that desire binds one to the lower laws of gravity that pull energy down. Gravity are the laws of the ego and the desire is of the ego. The laws of levity on the other hands are the laws of God i.e. fulfillment, no desire, wholeness.

All versions of John Mayer's Gravity are a blessing to behold. I love it
Wish I was as goofy on the bass as him!! Loved it!
Man so cool to hear where this absolute masterpiece originated from! Thanks John!
Wow thank you for positing! Even though I’m fortunate to have access to Life on SXM here in the US, I had missed this. What a treat!
Love this version too, thank you for allowing the fans to hear the original recording!❤ your music.
Happy holidays!🌲

Heard this live when it came on the air and i stopped everything to just listen to this gem and be part of history

Wow ❤❤❤
Man this demo sounds amazing, damn! lol
For the record, I loved the bass.

Vivement Mars pour voir enfin John Mayer, the great John Mayer à Paris !
Love you John and really seriously love this version than original one...
Still a beautiful song - even if you don’t remember anything about it!
The validation understood only by those who wrote by candlelight your why someone like me becomes a songwriter I can't ty enough 😊 😊😊
I ❤ a good origin story! This song is timeless.
Incrível!!! Essa música é muito importante na minha vida e acredito na de vários que já ouviram. Sensacional!!!!
Love demos raw
fascinating
Beautiful!
This wasn’t bad but man, oh man…the released Gravity is such a great song.
❤
I prefer this guitar solo for an album version
Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour ce partage! Savez-vous si il est possible d’écouter cette radio depuis la France?
Avec grand plaisir :) Je n'ai pas encore trouvé le moyen (à part passer par un VPN en vous localisant depuis les US). Je vais poster le récapitulatif audio de la première journée d'émission cet après-midi sur la chaîne et je vais essayer de m'y tenir :)
Merci infiniment !
@@johnmayerfrhello! Can you explain me how do you use the VPN to have Access to the show in the US being in France?
Please I need help....how could I get access to sirius xm from germany ? Do You have any ideas? Thank you sooo much

John you still in Japan ?

ça fait bizarre d'entendre gravity de cette manière là 😅
Vocals sound better in this take. Could also be the additional reverb on this track 🤔
How the F did I not know that was Alicia Keys at the end ??
The biggest surprise for me here was that John can play the bass somewhat decently
Uhmm, I don't think that John is playing the bass in this demo from 2006. It's actually his bassist, Pino Palladino, who handles the bass part. They often tour together as a trio, along with their drummer Steve Jordan.
@@marksamorin5745 He says it's him at 7:30
@@marksamorin5745 7:30
Ooooohhhh he really did said it, missed that last detail, thanks for correcting me man! 💯
@@marksamorin5745 no worries bro! He's pretty amazing!
Wants to watch me fall is better
Man, the tone on that solo sucks!
Sounds like a strat directly into an amp with no pedals. Which, for a demo, was probably exactly what he did.
He still killed it tho.
...it's a demo
Does your account have an Instagram? Would love to repost this on my story
