John Mayer - Bigger than my body... anybody else get this?

[Paulson]

There's a resemblance to dave matthews band in this song.. or at least he's singing like him...

 

[Oscar1613]

actually it was Coldplay inspired... but then again, most people do confuse just about any JM song with DMB when they first listen to him...

 

[Paulson]

Well I'm not confusing him with DMB, but he's using the same type of movement with his voice as DMB so often has in their songs..

 

[JohnCU]

The whole album is available at MTV now. It sucks . What a huge disappointment...

Contrary to what NFS4 would have us believe, John Mayer has ALWAYS sung like Dave Matthews. He uses a lot of the same stylings. There's nothing wrong with this, but it is pretty obvious.

They sound similar in some respects...lots of people sound similar to each other. But I don't go WOW, he sounds exactly like Dave when I play his music and I have all three albums of his (pre-ordered the newest one from Circuit City which will make 4)

Just the vocals. The dude sings just like DM. Otherwise, they are quite different. I hate DMB. I love John Mayer. Go figure.

I'll listen to it later today. What exactly do you not like about it?

I thought his last studio album was one of the best of last year. It would be a shame if this one really were a dud.

 

[Swag1138]

John Mayer is an unoriginal manwhore. A talented, unoriginal manwhore, but an unoriginal manwhore none-the-less.

I met him while he was on tour with Glen Phillips (former Toad The Wet Sprocket lead, if you like JM, check out glen, hes much better at it than JM) and was left unimpressed and annoyed with him. Mostly from his hitting on the 14 year olds in the front row.

 

[JohnCU]

Actually, after listening to it a few times, it's really awesome. Except for Come Back to Bed and Wheels, don't especially like those two. You just gotta get used to his non-acoustic style on this new album.

the live version of CBTB is 100000x better than that album version... they totally ruined it with that sax or whatever the hell it is in the background

 

[JohnCU]

Come on, there's gotta be more JM fans on this forum.

 

[Amorphus]

nope. John Mayer sucks. end of story.

. On songs like "Not Myself," Mayer seems almost to be parroting Dave Matthews, whom Alagia produced on several albums, including Crash and Before These Crowded Streets

WTF? John is nothing like Dave on Not Myself (which happens to be fav JM song right after 3x5 and Covered in Rain)

 

[JohnCU]

Dave Matthews isn't even in the same league as John Mayer... JM > DM.

 

[Oscar1613]

anybody up for some more new stuff?

from the single of BTMB but wont be appearing on the new cd, i give you Tracing

its a slower (mostly) acoustic track that reminds me just why i started liking his music in the first place... enjoy:beer:

nice song. thanks

lyrics:

Do you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle?
Or have you ever had the sense
that we?ve been lying just a little?
I mean come on
its not like we?ve known ourselves that long

and I cant say I really blame you for being bored with the beginning
always staring at the score to figure out who?s barely winning
but don?t you know
there is a reason strong, move slow

and I'm okay
if you?re okay with wasting time
but when you trace
you always see the bottom line

we are tracing
I hope you know
we are tracing
and if you want to know the moment
I knew that I was still alone
I found I never learned your number
I only stored it in my phone
you?d think by now
id know the shape of calling home

and I'm okay
if you?re okay with wasting time
but when you trace
you always see the bottom line

we are tracing
I hope you know
we are tracing
we're both alone
we are tracing
we are tracing

did you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle?
Or have you ever had the sense
that we?ve been lying just a little?
I mean come on
its not like we?ve knew ourselves that long

excuse me?

 

[Gunbuster]

They sound the same to me, but that only means I hear the first 2 seconds and change the radio station.

/Me hates DMB & JM

 

[Stark]

DM bugs me.

JM seems like a normal guy with really great talent.

I always thought 3x5 just appealed to me b/c I do a lot of photography and I often bemoan how holding the camera changes both my perspective and others' perception of me, and I often can't decide whether I should bring my camera somewhere so I can record what I see, or leave it home so that I can see the world through both eyes.
heh

picked up the cd at lunch. so far no disappointment.
