Chords for John Mayer Plays an Unreleased Gem | Wong Notes Podcast

Okay, Steve Jordan told me to ask you in regards to continuum once
Particular was so good.
He didn't want to put it out because he felt like he was gonna have to do it the rest of
His life.
I know it's nice.
He said it was oh, it's the greatest song and it was gonna be the biggest
Everybody was gonna play it at their wedding.
Yeah, that's great.
Why why is it not out?
It's very close to being done
It was always close to being done.
It was called over and over
It may exist somewhere if I'd ever done like one of those early like
Casts those webcasts of like playing stuff off my iTunes.
Oh, yeah
I may have put it out there in the world at some point
It was called over and over and it was one of the first three songs that we had done for continuum
And it was gorgeous.
It was a beautiful song and it would have totally fit the record.
I didn't understand the bridge
I couldn't get the bridge to work
Are you is it something that still comes to you now that were you like I got to figure that out or is it just?
Completely gone in your mind.
That song was really special
it just
didn't get there because the bridge made no sense and I
Couldn't get it to work.
Well, the year is now 2022
You might not need a bridge.
That's right
Could I go I could see that I could see myself doing that I could see myself paving over
I think I think I always knew that I would wait until someone wanted to do a
Version of continuum that had some other songs we'd Steve and I at one point
I remember we were sitting at the Four Seasons pool and he had his little file effects thing out and we had two records
There was a there was gonna be a double album for a minute.
Yeah, no, it was almost gonna be a double album
Wow, I had a lot of cool ideas Herbie Hancock came in for something
It was really cool stuff, but it just hadn't grown all the way up and I'm yeah
I don't do songs that are 95% sure cool.
I can't live with it to me
It's there's a power source on one side there's copper wire and there's a motor on the other side
Yeah, and it only needs one cut in the copper wire for the motor not to turn.
Yeah, it has to be connected
Yeah, you don't get the attention back in a song once you lose it.
No one's ever said yeah.
No you lost me I'm back
You lose someone you lose someone.
Yeah, no one ever waited a song out.
We think we do we don't
Yeah, but that song was great it was very sweet yeah, it was very sweet
