Who cares about their private lives? it's none of our business, anyway. I just don't go there. But Mayer has one of the most appealing voices in pop, is a versatile guitarist, and wrote some of the cleverest tunes I've heard in the last 15 years. Herbie Hancock is a deserved jazz legend who easily moves into pop, and adds a little class in the process.
Liked this when I first heard it back in 2006---had no idea it was John Mayer at the time. I can't stand him because he's an egotistical dick, but he's actually a pretty good guitar. Not that great of a singer---he knows how to make some catchy melodies, though. I'm guessing this was written for him, though.
An incredible album featuring the very best artists of our time. Jon Meyer's 'Stitched Up' written by Herbie Hancock is one of my favorites. But 'Sister Moon' featuring Sting', Christina Aguilera, Paul Simon and Annie Lenox really puts a move on my heart too. Thank you Herbie Hancock for your contributions to the jazz genre, etc.
Amazing... Years ago, when I was little and knew nothing about jazz, I got this CD by my aunt and I really disliked it. And now I went through my CD shelf and was like: "How on earth do I have a Herbie Hancock album"? Absolutely great!
Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down? It was later in the evening That the facts and the figures got turned around True, there was a woman Yes, she did advance my way And I can't be sure exactly but I swear I saw her say my name It was the right time She was the real thing I had to walk away Don't wanna be, stitched up out of my mind Feeling strung out, laggin' behind All trapped in, can't do a thing because I?m Locked down Stitched up, feeling the burn All strung out, I finally learn that Trapped in, can?t do a thing because I'm Locked down I wonder where she came from I wonder where she's gotta go Who's to say she's single And who's to say she?s on her own Girls like that don?t sleep alone (Alright here's the thing, here's the thing) That girl is flawless, and I know I?m not the first one to think that And since I'm not the first, I sure won?t be the last I'd spend my whole life looking behind my back I just don?t think I?m up to that Stitched up, out of my mind Feeling strung out, laggin? behind All trapped in, can?t do a thing because I?m Locked down Stitched up, feeling the burn All strung out, I finally learn that Trapped in you can?t do a thing because you?re Locked down Stitched up, out of my mind Feeling strung out, laggin' behind All trapped in, I can't do a thing because I'm Locked down Stitched up, feeling the burn All strung out, I finally learn that Trapped in you can?t do a thing because you're Locked down Locked down Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down I don't wanna be Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down Stitch me up, string me out Trap me in, lock me down Because I'm down and down and down (Ooo)
Steal healing two year old wounds...People my age and older seem to be too damaged by past lovers and have no plans to move no farther than the bedroom.Meh,than again,having someone to hold onto momentarily eased that void for a small bit.After many times of that,you no longer get that satisfaction.Just thinking you'll wake up,leave and still be alone.So even in their arms you feel alone,because they're not there.
For everyone calling him a "fuckstick" how about you go watch is Recovering Ego Addict interview as well as his interview at Oxford. Complimenting the song or not, do your research before you judge someone. Everyone has their own demons and his was some douchy interviews and a big ego but listen to his two recent albums and those interviews and then judge..Also such a sweet song :p

Imagine how much more popular this song could have become if John had just named it "Locked Down" instead of "Stitched Up"... I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and QUIET in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out and stay safe.
This song is what turned me onto John Mayer. I grew up in the 90s-00s when he was getting popular. I hated his cheesy pop music. He sounded like a teenage chain smoker singing to all his girlfriends. “No Such Thing?” Weird and unmusical. “Your Body is a Wonderland?” Just YUCK. 🤢 Then he released this song with Herbie, and BAM! He finally found his niche. His breathy voice doesn’t fit with pop, but boy does it work with jazz! He was just trying to fit a square peg into a round hole for so long. But jazz is that square hole he needed. Then the following year he released his Continuum and bam. He’d finally found his niche with the bluesy “Gravity” and soulful “Waiting on the World to Change.” Mayer quickly changed from one of my least favorite pop singers to one of my favorite pop/soul fusion singers.

+HandsOnFire Mostly A Mixolydian. Not all the chords use that scale, though. The verse's chords are A B7 D7sus4 then A again. The chorus's chords are basically A G D G. Those chords will have to have their own individual scales.
+Spyking18 +Spyking18 Im still sort of a beginner on guitar and my scales knowledge is pretty much limited to minor major harmonic minor and few diminished scale stuff , this is the first time dealing with anything mixolydian :p thanks !
Just play minor pentatonic, play around with the major third and add on the 6th and 9th a little bit now and then and the b5 in passing. That's probably the easiest way to look at it, and how JM would. Learn some blues licks, focusing on where to bend. Try and sing the idea as you play it, to lock your ears and fingers together. Once you've got that, find the 3rds and b7ths of each chord and try and land on them at the right time. You'll get a lot of mileage from that approach.
Herbie's first chord so crunchy dayum
That gets me every time...
Am7/G
;) ;) ;)
Actually its G sus, because the flat 7 is in there. Basically Fmaj9/G
:)
That would be the one
Think of it as: Am7/G7 (just the shell of the G7 in the LH)
G13sus is the chord but the voicing is always the magic.
I bought Herbie Hancock's CD just to hear John Mayer's song "Stitched Up". I love that song.
This song was made completely in one day. What a couple of musicians!
Who cares about their private lives? it's none of our business, anyway. I just don't go there. But Mayer has one of the most appealing voices in pop, is a versatile guitarist, and wrote some of the cleverest tunes I've heard in the last 15 years.

Ugh--he's a pretty good guitar player, I meant.
Kirk Wood actually John came up with the lyrics and him and herbie developed the melody together!
Possibilities- Full Film (April, 2006) at 8:10 where John Mayer came up on building the song with Herbie.
John Mayer and Herbie Hancock equals "Golden" i love this song it's delicious.
one of the purest most amazing songs I've ever heard
I love John Mayer's music
So sad that this isn’t on Spotify
And isn't on @Deezer too... is so sad
It's on Spotify now!!
@@elbedregal obrigada!!!
Darn not available in the US 😢

The ultimate covid-19 “locked down” song
I was gonna like this comment but I don't want to ruin it, if you know what I mean :p
🤙🏽

One of my favorite songs of all time
How come I can't find this song on ANY platform except Pandora or UA-cam? The weirdest thing. So damn catchy.
Jocelyn Sloan This song is on Rhapsody. However, I did find this song in the Netherlands iTunes Store.
Session recordings are great...
It's a great album if you ever get a hold of it. Lots of different artists that Herbie works with on the album.
Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down?
It was later in the evening
That the facts and the figures got turned around
True, there was a woman
Yes, she did advance my way
And I can't be sure exactly but I swear I saw her say my name
It was the right time
She was the real thing
I had to walk away
Don't wanna be, stitched up out of my mind
Feeling strung out, laggin' behind
All trapped in, can't do a thing because I?m
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in, can?t do a thing because I'm
Locked down
I wonder where she came from
I wonder where she's gotta go
Who's to say she's single
And who's to say she?s on her own
Girls like that don?t sleep alone
(Alright here's the thing, here's the thing)
That girl is flawless, and I know I?m not the first one to think that
And since I'm not the first, I sure won?t be the last
I'd spend my whole life looking behind my back
I just don?t think I?m up to that
Stitched up, out of my mind
Feeling strung out, laggin? behind
All trapped in, can?t do a thing because I?m
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in you can?t do a thing because you?re
Locked down
Stitched up, out of my mind
Feeling strung out, laggin' behind
All trapped in, I can't do a thing because I'm
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in you can?t do a thing because you're
Locked down
Locked down
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
I don't wanna be
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Stitch me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Because I'm down and down and down (Ooo)
if you listen closely you can actually hear Herbie singing along while playing
Gosh I want a 1000 of those songs... Stuck on repeat for 2 day on
That lick Herbie plays at 1:53 is so good
Groovy as hell, evry thing grooves xD !!!
Got this Cd when it released!! Love this song! Glad to see the other true music fans out there.
Yeah when I first heard this it was at a Starbucks and Starbucks was selling the CD
I’ve LOVED this song for years!!!!
Stitched up, lockdown, how did Herbie know ? Very chilled 😊
This is all around fantastic.
I watched this video probably 100 times and i barely noticed the hand in the background
I’ve been looking at that album for 10+ years and just realized it’s a hand
Omg...too funny, me too!
I noticed it thanks to you!
What a cool song! Thank god it's available on apple music. Is there anything Mayer can't do? From pop to blues to jazz, he's everywhere
@@jadedjimmy Possibilities- Herbie Hancock, it’s available for me

Too cool, I heard the James Brown groove in there. God bless American music!
i heard it too and that's why I love this song
This is GLOBALIST music at its finest. John and Herbie are world-wide musicians. "God bless American Music!" **HUGE Eyeroll**
Brilliant!! I love just about everything John mayer collaborates on like this
Look at us!! Still locked down on this incredible tune! My go to. And 'Hey friend, check this out!'
this song makes my day better :D
Can't believe this only has about 5,000 views - this song is so good!
Been listening to Herbie since THRUST, but the video of the process of writing and playing this is mesmerizing. Great overall.....
Love this song. It's so relaxing. 😊
PLEASE WE NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY I BEG
Our wish has finally been granted
@@matthewbalos1729 ohhh thanks for the notice!!

I prefer the name stitched up. Locked down is kindve a bad name for the song imo
yeah love this /bluejazzyjm!
I love this :)

This man got every gorgeous lady in the mall’s number in his phone the day he sung this 😂😂😂😂
Try listening to Sister Moon on the same CD. Sting sounds the best I have heard him.
This shit is fire.
The lick at 2:28
Girls like that don’t sleep alone
Is this song about trying to approach women in public? Sounds like the conversations that take place my head everytime...
Major Cowboy Bebop vibes but for real life!
Why is this not on Apple Music in the US?
Michael Johnson wish I knew!!!! Dying over here without it!
why isn’t this song on Spotify I’m upset
OR APPLE MUSIC OH MY GOD
I’m still upset tho
Label conflict or something. It’s a shame
dont know the fcking singer or his history nor his personality ,, but his song is freaking awesome + amazingly delicious voice
Sounds like you do but your just making the point that music is music
