John Mayer: Songs
built 606 days ago
Having just announced a co-headlining tour with Sheryl Crow to help launch CONTINUUM, Mayer is raring to start playing his new material for an audience. "This record is infinitely playable," he says. "I built so many corners into these songs I cannot wait to play them live - I've been imagining myself on stage playing ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room' for the last six months."

On August 11, 2007, Mayer's song "Gravity" was played as a wake-up call for the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavor. The astronauts have a different wake-up call for every day of the mission; Mayer's song was chosen by the family of Shuttle Pilot Charles Hobaugh. (edit)

Mayer's experience with the Trio influenced his production style on Continuum, and he and Jordan produced the album. He remarked "The artist gets almost trained to believe it takes 60 people and 12 months to make a record. It takes four people. You get it on tape, you listen back and ask, 'Does it make you feel something, yes or no?' When you got it, you move on."[6] On September 12, 2006, the day of Mayer's solo release Continuum (which contains songs from the Trio album Try!), he announced on his blog that the group would reunite and produce a studio album.[7]

"That was how John did it - his commitment was 1,000 percent. He was right there in the moment, just being the song. It could be startling if you weren't ready for it."
