John Mayer Plays an Unreleased Gem | Wong Notes Podcast

The dynamic duo compares signature Strats and talk about songwriting, collecting Dumbles —including SRV’s Texas Food amp, exploiting digital media, influences, and why you should buy at least one album every two years.

Produced by Jason Shadrick and Cory Wong

Presented by DistroKid

[FikriIzzaldin]

The fact that he still remembers a lot of the lyrics (and THE SOLO) after 16 years shows that he probably plays the song a lot in his free time, for himself

[hanskorn]

“Over and Over” could have been one of those songs where the crowd would sing along to the chorus. It also sounds like something couples would walk down the aisle and get married to. It could’ve been a late 2000s hit.

[MrScrofulous]

C’mon John, put it out. The world needs love and soothing right now.
I don’t know any other artist that can just rip out a half-forgotten demo and sound like a fully produced band.

[_tongarcia]

I feel like the moment he finds the woman he’ll marry, John will know EXACTLY how to finish it

[luke_Citino]

Now that he doesn't have a record label, he can do what he likes, I hope this is his first release.

[torduc]

hahaha Cory's frustration "COME ON DUDE JUST PUT A SECOND VERSE" is literally all of us!!
Now that Columbia is out of the picture, do whatever you want John...including releasing this song in however way you want ;)

[eriktaira]

Cory Wong’s reaction is just like any John Mayer’s fan would say: “ c’mon, dude, that’s killing! Just put a second verse on it”

[tanayasharma]

A 2022 updated version of this, omg imagine😩 now I want this so bad, he can release an EP of his unreleased songs and it'll be better than most things out these days

[eriktaira]

Over and Over

Baby, you can 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

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 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

And when you lost you way
But I’m doing fine
I’ll leave and lose my place in line
I’ll help you find whatever you’re
Whatever you think you’re looking for

Cause guess who desperately wants you
Over and over, over and over
Guess who never forgets you
Over and over, over and over

John Mayer needs to release a record of all of his unreleased songs produced.

[dinosaursantos]

It plays in the same key, same meter, and same tempo as I'm Gonna Find Another You. I feel like they could be mirror images of each other, imagining that they could have book-ended Continuum with this song acting as the first song in the album.

Now I'm imagining how Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan would've added their magic to this track.

[ToddSoloStory]

Man that’s one of the most gorgeous solos I’ve heard him play. And it’s on a podcast too

[jasonhartelius]

As far as I know he played this live one time. And I was there. Speaking appearance on Broadway in early 2005. He said this was gonna be his first single off his next album. And when he introduced the song that night ... he said he hadn’t figured out the bridge yet. He got there and it kinda came off the rails and he stopped and said he still had to finish it. I remember being so confused when it wasn’t on Continuum

[RandallFlores]

I love that Cory is probably playing the rhythm part to support the solo. Doing it for the fans.

[SamMegan]

I’m 99% sure he’s been banking this huge hit for years and this is all part of the early stages of a marketing plan. What a melody. Incredible.

[armoredpineapple]

My Girlfriend of 10 years & I have seen John Mayer 4 times together. We're finally getting married next September, this should be our wedding song. I'm very upset this didn't make Continuum :(

[freetime]

"Over And Over" should be called "The Podcast Song" because that's the only time we're going to hear it. Great interview guys! Can't believe you guys got John Mayer to play the song considering he's put it away for over 15 years.

[cocoachunky]

Cory on rhythm at the end (on a whim) while John solos over it. What a legendary combination right there.

[aaron-jeffreyrincon]

John needs to put "Over and Over" and "Simple Song" on his next album

[marcelodellamea]

Holy f.., that unreleased song is pure beauty! Please release it!
