(His groove is RIDICULOUS.) Couldn't find this on spotify, so thanks for making one of my all-time fave records available. I can happily edit for the remainder of the day now, with this treasure on loop. Cheers!
Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down? It was later in the evening That the facts and the figures got turned around True, there was a woman Yes, she did advance my way And I can't be sure exactly but I swear I saw her say my name It was the right time She was the real thing I had to walk away Don't wanna be, stitched up out of my mind Feeling strung out, laggin' behind All trapped in, can't do a thing because I?m Locked down Stitched up, feeling the burn All strung out, I finally learn that Trapped in, can?t do a thing because I'm Locked down I wonder where she came from I wonder where she's gotta go Who's to say she's single And who's to say she?s on her own Girls like that don?t sleep alone (Alright here's the thing, here's the thing) That girl is flawless, and I know I?m not the first one to think that And since I'm not the first, I sure won?t be the last I'd spend my whole life looking behind my back I just don?t think I?m up to that Stitched up, out of my mind Feeling strung out, laggin? behind All trapped in, can?t do a thing because I?m Locked down Stitched up, feeling the burn All strung out, I finally learn that Trapped in you can?t do a thing because you?re Locked down Stitched up, out of my mind Feeling strung out, laggin' behind All trapped in, I can't do a thing because I'm Locked down Stitched up, feeling the burn All strung out, I finally learn that Trapped in you can?t do a thing because you're Locked down Locked down Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down I don't wanna be Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down Because I'm down and down and down (Ooo)
cool cut and it looks as though the album is Herbie with noted singers. want to hear the Annie Lennox. John Mayer sounds too much like Mike Franks for my tastes
ya man to be fair he is the real deal. As a guitar player I had a hard time swallowing that pill due to his questionable radio songs but after buying his live in LA. yeah, he's one of the best out there, no question. I just prefer his live gig especially with the trio,
@@TheThaddeusThree this is generally pretty true of any musician that's had a hit (barring some exceptions of course). The amount of talent to just get that big by playing instruments and writing your own music is ridiculous.
I remember hearing this for the first time in November 2005 in LAX airport and thinking, dang this dude is on top of the world right now... late '05 was PEAK John Mayer... I'd be honored if some JM fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of his early compositions CLARITY and QUIET on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic. Thanks and peace out.

I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of CLARITY and QUIET on my channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace out.
Love this song! Listening to this I realalized that John Mayer, talented as he is, simply performs better in other people's bands. John Scofield, Herbie Hancock, Buddy Guy, even that acoustic version of Broken Hearted he did with Eric Clapton... He seems to just grow a level when he doesn't have to be a band leader as well as a guitarist, singer and - sometimes - songwriter.
