John Clayton Mayer (/ˈmeɪ.ər/MAY-ər; born October 16, 1977) is an American
singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. Born in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, Mayer attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, but
disenrolled and moved to Atlanta in 1997 with Clay Cook.
Together, they
formed a short-lived two-man band called Lo-Fi Masters. After their split,
Mayer continued to play local clubs, refining his skills and gaining a
following. After his appearance at the 2001 South by Southwest Festival, he was
signed to Aware Records,
and then Columbia Records,
which released his first EP Inside Wants Out.
His following two full-length albums—Room
for Squares (2001) and Heavier Things (2003)—did well commercially, achieving multi-platinum status. In
2003, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal
Performance for his single "Your Body Is a Wonderland".
By 2005, Mayer had moved away from the acoustic
music that characterized his early records, and begun performing the blues and rock
music that had originally influenced him as a musician. He collaborated with
blues artists such as B. B. King,
Buddy Guy,
and Eric Clapton.
Forming the John Mayer Trio,
he released a live album, Try!,
in 2005 and his third studio album Continuum in 2006. Both albums
received positive reviews, and Continuum earned Mayer a 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change".
That album was followed by Battle
Studies in 2009, a return to pop, with a Battle Studies World Tour.
After having several controversial incidents
with the media, Mayer withdrew from public life in 2010 and began work on his
fifth studio album, Born and Raised, which drew inspiration from the
1970s pop music of Laurel Canyon. However, the discovery of a granuloma on his vocal cords delayed the release of the album until May 2012,
and forced him to cancel the planned tour. The album received a generally
favorable reception, though was less commercially successful than his previous
work. Mayer began performing as a singer again in January
2013, and that year released his sixth studio album, Paradise
Valley, which incorporates country music influences. By 2014, he had sold a total of over 20 million albums
worldwide. His latest album, The Search for Everything, was
released in 2017.
In 2015, three former members of the Grateful Dead joined with Mayer and two other musicians to form the band Dead & Company.
It is the latest of several reunions of the band's surviving
members since Jerry Garcia's
death in 1995. The band remains active and its tours have been well received.
Mayer's secondary career pursuits extend to
television hosting, comedy, and writing; he has authored
columns for magazines such as Esquire.
He supports various
causes and has performed at charity benefits. He is a
watch aficionado (with a collection he values in the "tens of
millions" of dollars), contributing to the watch site Hodinkee, and has
been on the jury at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.
Continuum is the third studio album by
American singer-songwriter John Mayer,
released on September 12, 2006, by Aware and Columbia Records.
Recording sessions took place from November 2005 to September 2006 at The
Village Recorder in Los Angeles, Avatar
Studios and Right Track/Sound on Sound in New York City, and Royal Studios in Memphis,
Tennessee. Produced by singer and drummer Steve
Jordan, it marked a change in Mayer's musical
style, incorporating elements of blues and soul more heavily than in his previous work with pop rock.
The album debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200,
selling more than 300,186 copies in its first week of sales. It also reached the top-10 of
several other countries and sold over 5 million copies worldwide. Upon
its release, Continuum received generally positive reviews from critics, and
earned Mayer several accolades, including a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 49th
Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone named it the 11th best album of 2006 and in 2020, they ranked it
number 486 on its 2020 updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
No I'm not the man I
used to be lately
See you met me at an interesting time
And if my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside
Hold on to whatever
you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with lovin' you
I will beg my way into your Garden
Then I'll break my way out when it rains
Just to get back to the place where I started
So I can want you back all over again
(I don't really understand)
Hold on to whatever
you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with lovin' you
Who do you love?
Girl I see through, through your love
Who do you love?
Me or the thought of me?
Me or the thought of me?
Hold on to whatever
you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with lovin' you
Hold on to whatever
you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with lovin' you
I don't trust myself with lovin' you
I don't trust myself with lovin' you
I don't trust myself with lovin' you.
