This is one of the rarest songs I have. My friend Marshall gave it to me. If you like the version from "Any Given Thursday," then I think you'll love this one too.
This really points out that both have extraordinary talents. More to the point that Sting has been an insparation. That this is John Mayers way of showing a well deserved respect. 👍to John Mayer
Amazing song, and those beautifully profound lyrics blow me away. I have Mr. Mayor to thank for pointing me towards Sting's way for sips of water. Heard it one his "Where the Lights Are, Live in LA."
It’s not that hard for an intermediate to advanced player, but it’s a bit stretchy for a beginner. I can play it and sing at the same time. Not that I can sing very well.
Yes this version is good no doubt, but the version by the police is still the best, the pace of this song is off so it lacks the impact of the original.
This is the best version of this song. The one on Any Given Thursday is ok, but it comes no where near this one. So clean and pure. Love these old John Mayer songs. I have it on my old iPod and backed up to a cd just in case. I'm really protective over these type "oldies" there was a version of covered in rain I loved and somehow I can't find it now.
Grace a lot of John's old stuff was just magic, this cover included. Tori, Why Did You Mess With Forever, Sucker etc. I had a lot of his old stuff on my iPod (😂) but it got erased with an update or something I think? I was pretty pissed off.
I used to have this version (actually gotten from LW many years ago) but since Apple Itunes erased my Ipod (SO glad to be Crapple free now) I've lost it and thousands of other pieces of music I can't replace... I'm so used to hearing this I didn't realize there was "another" version. Sucks it' not this one. Go watch The John Butler Band cover this... it's amazing.

I feel like that version is weak sauce though....he hits that open e note for I don't know why in that version, maybe because it's a cover he's played for so long he was trying to Mayer-ize it more....
I like it that he changes the melodyba bit so that it better suits his voice (I try to do the same in my coversv- though not at John Mayer level of course)

Actually, it’s a modulation to A major, which is not the relative major of C# minor. The verse is in C# minor, while the chorus is in A major. The relative major of C# minor is actually E major.
@@SuperEdge67 i posted that 2 years ago. i was simply making the point for anyone that didnt know. Because now a days all people listen to is this shit rap music, so i woulnt expect people to know if this is original or not.
Brent Eddison I would think that anyone with the slightest musical knowledge would know that this is probably the most famous song by one of the most famous groups of all time.
Brimstone0223 LW sting is a vocal master, but when it comes to guitar John is leagues ahead of him, and John does some arrangement changes to the song with chord subs and things so maybe that’s what you hear as fingering problems?
Amazing to hear John Mayer get about the same audience response I get at wine bar gigs.
I was thinking the same thing LOL
Even less may be
Underrated comment
Show us what you got🙏
the difference people hush to hear beauty with John, and with you its probably drunks saying "hey i lile this song, wooo." 😂
This version was widely available back on those file sharing days. I got mine from lime wire.
I still have my version from vuze or frostwire.
RIP Limewire
MoiEnNoir Fucking Me Too! Oh, LimeWire.
Limewire use to be the spot for everything back then
Is it available on any other Album I don't like the version on any given Thursday
This is one of my favorite songs by the Police. I think Mayer does an AWESOME cover of this song!!!!
Love this man and his music so much…
Me too. And I feel like ppl just don't get him.
0:22 "anozer lonely day" haha, imitating that Sting voice
Man I'm glad I found this! I love the Police and John Mayer!
I was today years old when I discovered this. Oh my goodness 🔥❤️❤️❤️
Still coming back for more!
Greatest version of an even greater song!
What an incredible rendition! I loved the one from Any Given Thursday, but I love how intimate this acoustic one is.
It's perfect for these sad days
I love this version! I have been listening to it all week.
Perfect song ... Very good Jonh Mayer!
This is so heavenly pleasing
Tell Marshall he's the shit.
A great version!
Amazing !!!!!
this almost broke my finger from playing this in guitar, even when singing
Thanks so much for putting these videos up :-)
Gives me a Dave Matthews "Crash Into Me" sorta feeling
This is gold
This really points out that both have extraordinary talents. More to the point that Sting has been an insparation. That this is John Mayers way of showing a well deserved respect.
👍to John Mayer
This man can flat out play those strings! Amazing.
This is soo good!
Beautiful
Perfect!
This is the version I had.... so awesome the acoustics from this time.
lov it!!
Amazing song, and those beautifully profound lyrics blow me away. I have Mr. Mayor to thank for pointing me towards Sting's way for sips of water. Heard it one his "Where the Lights Are, Live in LA."
man, i loveloveloveLOVE john mayers music. the way he acts in the media kills me.
AWESOME!!!
good song play very soft.amazing
I wish this was on spotify
best version EVER!
Divine😊
Brilliant
actually a friend sent this to me...which he most likely got from limewire lol
One of the most difficult songs to play.
to get the nuance of the rhythm is crucial but challenging
A jazz guitarist can nail this, but singing this with the guitar is something that is very difficult, almost impossible!
It’s not that hard for an intermediate to advanced player, but it’s a bit stretchy for a beginner. I can play it and sing at the same time. Not that I can sing very well.
I agree it's not that difficult to play. On that same breath, the singing seems like a key part of the formula here.@@SuperEdge67
I'm sad the first time I heard this version was two days ago.
Better late than never I suppose
I love Sting/Police. Dont get me wrong! BUT this is just to perfect!
Yes this version is good no doubt, but the version by the police is still the best, the pace of this song is off so it lacks the impact of the original.
try 1.25 speed friend :D
TheDaimyoGaijin not necessarily off as much as it is just his original spin off
Agree to disagree. check out the version sting does solo on the acoustic... Mo betta.
Wow! NICE!!!
So goodie
This is the best version of this song. The one on Any Given Thursday is ok, but it comes no where near this one. So clean and pure. Love these old John Mayer songs. I have it on my old iPod and backed up to a cd just in case. I'm really protective over these type "oldies" there was a version of covered in rain I loved and somehow I can't find it now.

you the master
oh rite fair enuff, i got mihe from ther n its exactly the same lol but still well gurd song thanks for putting it up :)
Now this is a rare song for 86,936 people :D
Someone needs to bring this to spotify
Uma das poucas músicas dele que não é tão conhecida ,mas eu AMO
Essa música é um dos maiores sucessos do The Police
@@DinhoJrGuitar caramba é verdade me enganei!! Mas mesmo assim essa versão é espetacular
❤❤

Even Mayer has a hard time singing while playing this, Lol
hard af, streched fingers
Word up bro..
john mayer has massive hands, I doubt this was an issue
you trippin'
I doubt that, listen and watch the live video of neon maybe it can change your mind
Amazing cover, nice upload. Amazon only has the any given thursday version, anyone know where to legally purchase this version in mp3?

This is so Rare! How did Marshall find this? Does he know John? I wonder if John M remembers this? Thanks for sharing such a rare song for us!
This song can be also found on concert album any given thursday :)
I feel like that version is weak sauce though....he hits that open e note for I don't know why in that version, maybe because it's a cover he's played for so long he was trying to Mayer-ize it more....
+Jozef Vižďák eso es ciertop

👍
I like it that he changes the melodyba bit so that it better suits his voice (I try to do the same in my coversv- though not at John Mayer level of course)

Am I the only one noticing the end of the song is actually Yoga by Bjork and not the Sting´s song ?:)
chaferbud, please dropbox your non-album JM collection.
Where did he play this song? I mean, if it is the same from Any Given Thursday? Thanks for your answer :)
🆘 MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
people should check out ortopilots version of this song its really gd dunno if its better than jons but worth listening to for sure
Not a Mayer fan per se, but I like this cover --
Noice
SOS. Save our surgeons.
haha if you saw my itunes library you would lose your mind
2019?
BY THE POLICE, played very well by john mayer
August 7th, 2020
damn it where do you get all this cool shit from
Anyone else catch the key change??
There isn't one
There is one but it switch from a minor tonality to her relative major, so it's a modulation but she's very smooth because it's the same note
Kaito Bellamy her?
Actually, it’s a modulation to A major, which is not the relative major of C# minor. The verse is in C# minor, while the chorus is in A major. The relative major of C# minor is actually E major.
@AzBboy people still do that?
Hey
I really don't understand how people can call a song 'Rare' these days.
i gave them credit in the tags. most people know this is a police song though.
S2
guitar great....vocal.. question mark
blates of limewire :P
this is really john mayer ?
he kinda sounds like Dave Matthews on this
where the fuck do you find these
I love John's version soooo much, sorry Sting😅
Clearly 8 people were listening to this song at a volume of 0.
Best version. Hands down.
haha sadly, yes. Mp3's are only a buck, and will spare me from paranoia of lawsuit.
For a second I thought the person on the photo was Jacob Collier..🙈
SOS ---> Gordon
This is better than the original.
This is originally by “the police”
Brent Eddison Do you really think anybody doesn’t already know that.
@@SuperEdge67 i posted that 2 years ago. i was simply making the point for anyone that didnt know. Because now a days all people listen to is this shit rap music, so i woulnt expect people to know if this is original or not.

The Police
some songs you should just leave alone
Hate the original... Love john's cover
How can you hate the original? This is a great cover, but come on man, The Police is amazing.
I'm sorry but Sting is the master, John has a few fingering problems, not to mention the timing is too fast. But still like it
Clearly you don't play.......
Brimstone0223 LW sting is a vocal master, but when it comes to guitar John is leagues ahead of him, and John does some arrangement changes to the song with chord subs and things so maybe that’s what you hear as fingering problems?
I thought Sting was a bass player...
He sounds better than the police at their own song
awesome joke man
+Jigglypuff God In my opinion he sounds better than them, don't hate man
+Chase Harvey good joke man
haha ha....
Have you ever heard the Police live sing this song, this is shit compared to Sting's version....
It's not that rare lol
