John Mayer is a philosopher. My all time favourite song is still “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” from Continuum. I fell in love after the first 2 seconds — literally.
No matter how you work it, things go wrong
— John MAYER, “Last Train Home” lyrics.
I put my heart where it don’t belong
So if you’re comin’ with me, let me know
Maybe you’re the last train
Maybe you’re the last train home
This new ballad version of “Last Train Home” is sublime; entirely delightful, and brimming with soul-salving beauty. “Shouldn’t Matter But It Does” is my favourite song from “Sob Rock“, but this new ballad is a close second.
