No matter what happens, ultimately everything ends with minor pentatonic shredding 😅

Crazy that people used to think he's "just a pop star". He's honestly one of the greatest guitarists ever.

Best musician of our generation, that guitar solo was breathtaking!

This song should never be performed any other way. This is THE version.

The older he gets the more soulful he gets. Constantly improving....respect.

Easily the best musician, most soulful blues player, and best songwriter of his generation

Is it just me or does he just keep getting better and better? I used to be like “I wish he’d do more albums like Continuum”…but now I’ve realized JM gonna follow his own vision and man am I glad he has because he’s a one of a kind talent.

This is exactly how music should make you feel.

I knew this record was going to be special when John grew out his hair like he did for Continuum and Born & Raised. Months into it, we're still getting releases. Sob Rock is the gift that keeps on giving.

It's Mayer's diversity for me. Instead of listening to 4 different artists from 4 different genres, I can listen to John mayer on shuffle and get every genre I enjoy. I haven't REALLY listened to anyone else for 2 years now.

No one can cover John Mayer's songs better than John Mayer himself.

Dear John, lots of guitar players here in comments, some passing by, some pay respects, but all of us spectating progression of your illustrious career and admiring your imagination to experiment with new styles but always keeping the essence intact. Good old blues lives in modern day music, reaching the next generation, all thanks to you. Long live to you, your family and dog.

Sob Rock is my most revisited album this year. I've played it during a hard days work, long hours on the road travelling to site, late nights and early morning, ive played it in the bedroom, I've played it for my parents, friends and co workers. The production is like a warm blanket and wild blue gets me everytime.

I like how happy John is when he's playing a solo 🤣

That ending solo is what makes a John Mayer concert legendary. I swear he sounds better live instead of any album. 🔥

Absolutely the best version of this song.

Just when this man already saves 2021, he decides to save 2022 with this song.

this version is masterful. that solo easily makes this one better than the original in my opinion!

Any version of a John Mayer song that has an extended guitar solo section is a version I'm excited to hear 🤩

I'm 68 years old and thought I have heard it all. But this one really touched me in ways that no other has before. What an incredibly beautiful song, and the blues riff is one of the finest.

Feels like he made this version just to jam out during the closing solo

His smile at the end shows that he genuinely enjoyed the jam and the man clearly wants more. What a musician

This is what it looks like when a person does what they were meant to do.

Almost spit my drink out at 03:58. One of the most unique licks I’ve ever heard come out of him.

John will go down in history as one of greatest guitarists And composers In history.

Can we all stop for a minute and actually appreciate how Johnny stepped up his voice game?

I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THAT SOLO. JOHN SPOKE WITHOUT SPEAKING. ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY.

Man he was in the zone during that solo, quite a talent John Mayer playing the guitar.

This song understands you've had a long stressful day. It knows what you're going through. It's here for you. Take it in. Breathe it in. Let go.

I can’t remember the last time a modern song felt this timeless

He makes the guitar sing like a human voice. And his vocals have greatly improved

I feel this version in a part of my heart that I thought was dead.

You know your a good guitar player when the pianist is pulling a guitar face....AWESOME JOB!!!!

John's guitar talent is overlooked, i think too many people pass him off as just another pop artist

One thing you cannot doubt about John is his integrity as a musician

This song makes me want to go home to my wife and dance with her, but I can't dance and I'm not married.

This guy personifies pure musical joy. And he transmits that same contagious joy to his listeners. Like a musical virus whose only symptoms are second-hand guitar faces and a total, systemic numbness. Unbelievable.

Time stands still when John plays.....❤

There is an aura from this song even watching it on here that reminds me of the feeling one gets seeing John live. It envelops; warmth; comfort; a palpable sound. And then, John lifts the cozy blanket and leads us from comfort to pure joy with the outro. Slow. Clap. Mr. Mayer.

This version makes the lyrics hit in a different way. Absolutely gorgeous. A masterful performance.

I want this version to be played at my wedding while I'm "slow dancing" with my wife. ❤️

Fantastic band & incredible performance! And John, you sing, play guitar so sweet!! So happy to hear this!!

John Mayer is the kind of artist that writes and plays a song that makes you think "there is NO way this song could get better, it's just THAT good"... then he releases something like this & can hit you with a whole different set of feels. Those electric solos ughhhh 🤯 🙌 🙌

This man. Those feelings. That music. My God...

You know it’s a brilliantly written song when the lyrics hit harder the slower the song is. God bless you John Mayer, this version sent me places ✌🏼♥️

This entire band is an all-star cast. Masters of all their respective crafts

What a giant tribute to Clapton. Tone, skill and tasteful licks for days....

Whenever you have a discussion about best guitarists, you have to include this man.

If you haven’t seen him live… I’d tell you please save some money. The way you’ll feel there has no price. It’s insane the emotions you will go through. And if you think he’s a beast on the solos… Oh boy oh boy .. you HAVE NO IDEA what’s in store for you live. Go live it!!!

Can we take a short minute here to talk about the amazing vintage synths Greg Phillinganes is playing? Such warmth in the tone!

As a 56 year old singer and guitarist you inspire me John.

when John Mayer nails the vibe, it's sweet perfection. man is a national treasure.

Sounded like a Heavier Things-era solo in the best possible way. I didn’t think he had that soul in him anymore. Very cool!

I love how David Ryan Harris has been there with John for so long 😇

He's got to be proud of what he's done vocally over the last few decades. People always drool over the guitar but the steeper obstacle in his career was the vocal training.

2yrs, and THE WAY this song STILL makes me feel

This is gonna hit right in the feels

This man knows how exactly to do it!! Gotta love him!

I love the image of everyone warming up in the studio and getting ready. John just walks up, says nothing, straps on his pink PRS and lays down this track in one take like a boss.

Can we just appreciate how polished his voice sounds? (his playing goes without saying, let's be honest) But even after his vocal issues in 2012/2013, his voice is buttery smooth, this version is better than the original imo

I can’t ever get enough of his guitar playing, like Clapton, never enough guitar in his songs for me

there’s something magical that occurs whenever john plays his guitar…it’s impeccable and unexplainable after all these years ✨

Mr. Mayer, well done, thou good and faithful servant.

He’s phenomenal. While I agree the solo is beautiful; I’ve never once heard a John Mayer solo that wasn’t breathtaking. That said, I’m mesmerized by the intro on this song. There’s just something about it that I can’t put my finger on, but it’s soul deep ❤️

One of my favourite corners in the internet is a John Mayer comment section! The support and love for what he does so incredibly well warms my heart! I love this community so much! ⭐

Just when I didn’t think it could get any more 80s, somehow you did it. This song is a treasure and it just keeps on giving. Thank you for sharing your art with us!

This is my all time fave John Mayer song. The passion he has playing it's just so beautiful. Takes you deep and far away as music should. Just soulful❤

Lyrics... "Last Train Home" If you wanna roll me, then you gotta roll me all night long And if you wanna use me, then you gotta use me til I'm gone I'm not a fallen angel, I just fell behind I'm out of luck and I'm out of time If you don't wanna love me, let me go I'm runnin for the last train I'm runnin for the last train home If you wanna know me, then you gotta know me through and through And if you're gonna hurt me, then you gotta hold me next to you No matter how you work it, things go wrong 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 I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin I'm on the last train runnin And I surrender I surrender

Mayer, I tell you now, and with God as my witness: You sir are a living legend!

If you wanna roll me Then you gotta roll me all night long And if you wanna use me Then you gotta use me 'til I'm gone I'm not a fallen angel, I just fell behind I'm out of luck and I'm out of time If you don't wanna love me, let me go I'm runnin' for the last train I'm runnin' for the last train home If you wanna know me Then you gotta know me through and through And if you're gonna hurt me Then you gotta hold me next to you No matter how you work it, things go wrong 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 I'm on the last train runnin' I'm on the last train runnin' And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin' I'm on the last train runnin' And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin' I'm on the last train runnin' And I surrender And I surrender I'm on the last train runnin' I'm on the last train runnin' And I surrender And I surrender (Oh, yeah) (Ooh)

Jesus Christ healed me! This is my story about my healing!I was extremely ill! I had diabetes and kidney failure, which urgently requires dialysis! I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!!!!!!

Love the original, I love this one even more.

I want that guitar solo to continue endlessly.

There’s so much 80s - 90s vibe in that solo intro. Love it.

I’m 60 and have watched John Mayer progress throughout his musical career, his playing has evolved very nicely. Great songwriter and a great blues style guitar player 👍✌️

This guy is like David Gilmour or Stevie ray Vaughan ..... He makes it look like nothing but it's absolutely astonishing and amazing music just pure and organic!!! I really think he's a alien from another planet he might be arguably the greatest guitarist alive today ,I'm just gonna say it!!!!!

People are talking about the solo, but my god the chord changes have so much breathing space here. Feels like I am sipping on a smoothie for ever.

Every Mayer-fan knows that he dropped this version just so he could sqeeze in this amazing solo... cause that was missing in the first one!

One year later, and there's been not a single day I didn't listen to this phenomenal song !

Just beautiful. Back to "Where The Light Is" type of groove. Pure authentic.

I was so excited to learn that John was doing a ballad version of “Last Train Home” as we all know this track was totally 80’s inspired, and what better defined the 80’s than the power ballads, from Giant to Van Halen and everyone in between. This version folded back more depth and revealed a much deeper intimacy to the song that I absolutely love, you feel and see John putting his heart on his sleeve so to speak while singing. On a final note as I backtrack to my comment about the 80’s power ballads, their is one in particular that stuck out to me while listening, so in 1984 Paul McCartney released a film called “Give My Regards To Broad Street” which if you’re any kind of McCartney fan you’ll appreciate the movie even though it was cheesy and really didn’t have much of a story, but anyway there was a single that came from the movie called “No More Lonely Nights” in which the ballad version made its way on the radio waves back in the day, but the song is used throughout the movie as an instrumental, all the way to a dance version at the end of the film, but in this case the reason why it struck a “chord” with me, (sorry had to put some guitar humor in there) is because John’s playing especially the lead reminds me of the lead David Gilmour played on the McCartney song, very similar washes of delay and chorus effects in the guitar and a touch of similar style of playing. So with this direction John took with song sounded more like McCartney’s song rather than Toto’s song which here is a fun fact, two members of Toto performed in the McCartney movie which was Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcarro, who were the guitarist and drummer for Toto, in which case they did an updated version of the classic hit “Silly Love Songs” which is incredible you should check it out for sure! But to wrap this up yes I love this version also for different reasons, and that’s what I love about the complete genius of John’s musicianship he’s always reaching for that next thing he didn’t know he had yet! Love the song and hope you will enjoy this ballad version of “Last Train Home”! God bless!!!

It’s amazing how much just slowing things down and making it a little more vibey transformed this already awesome song 😌🤙🏽

Perfection. I can feel it down to my toes. Tears down your face good.

Such joy on your face. To have found such a profound calling and to be able to share it with us all... thank you! 🙏🏽

Biggest problem with this version is it wasn’t long enough!!! Could have easily listened to 10 straight minutes of that. Well done John… well done

Man, this hits me so hard. It feels nostalgic yet modern and real.

Johny is a peace of gold , a masterpiece from the old generation Rip the new one 😢

Souls needed to hear this! 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾

Real John Mayer fans who've seen him live would know this solo was super organic and he actually must have played it at one go. This is what happens when you leave good musicians inside a studio and do not overproduce. ❤

The joy in that solo. Making that guitar sing. Mayer on fire. This is my favorite version of the song. Stay in your lane John. We all need you right here doing what you do best.

as an old 80's club singer, I tremble at John's guitar work. It's really another vocal presence. How I miss musicianship like this.

John releasing something new unexpectedly.. can anything be better than this?! Amazing version and beautiful solo, I’d listen to it as many minutes as it gets! ❤️

A guitar solo that makes you literally cry. John you’re on a league of your own, an absolute master on your craft. What a privilege it’s been ❤️

John plays the guitar with his entire body...a phenomenal song and music!!!

4:12 to 4:20 is the most beautiful piece of guitar play ive ever heard i get chills every single time

His guitar solo runs aren’t the craziest, but they just seem to do it. So mush soul in his playing, and that's what makes him the best at it.

I hope he releases this on a 45, that would be so awesome. This deserves to be on vinyl.🤘😁💜

He plays with the blood!! Gives me chills every time he plays the guitar. Virtuoso, impecable, maestro!!

Just beautiful. JM should be held in the same echelon as Clapton. He’s the modern day version, he’s slowhand 2.0, perhaps he’s better. Clapton rates him as a master and I love that this album should bring him more on the mainstream. Can’t wait to see this version live in the UK next year 🤞🏻

"I'm out of luck and I'm out of time"....one of the catchiest lines in a verse I have ever listened to...stuck in my head days later.
