Coming back here after watching John Mayer's The Last Train Home early in the morning... I love both version! Thank you.

What an absolute JOY !! Absolutely loved this video, thanks Mary, you are a STAR !!

That mock Mayer swagger in the music video was perfect 😂

Your "big budget" video captured more pure joy than I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing your talent and your love of music. This is something very special.

I came here once again, because I sang it all last day. I didn't listen to John Mayer that much previously, but I back to your video because I love the melody and love the way YOU did it, Mary! Very great job! Song is not even released but you did such a soulful pre-cover. I hope JM will add yours to his album's extended version. Really enjoy it!

Impressive how well you nailed this - down to the strong 80's vibe in the video!

I think you could find yourself in a bit of hot water based on interference with the label's marketing & distribution endeavors which under the law would be considered tortious interference. He hasn't even launched the song yet and the new thing is to "troll" the impending release. That's what we're doing now? In addition to the troll, you are opening yourself up to all sorts of copywrite issues, mechanical issues, synchronization issues, etc. I appreciate the love that you have for him but I would be leery of uploading this type of "sampling/interpolation" without the proper clearance. Good luck.

What a creative idea, Mary! You just invented a new form on KZread. Finishing pre-released songs. It is a win win, because it boosts everybody's curiosity about the real tune.

So much talent. Truly blessed as a musician and what a voice!

This is actually a really good idea for learning to write songs. Start listening to a song and stop after a few bars and try to predict the rest. Great for ear training and learning to structure songs. I'm definitely gonna start trying to do that. Great job! Video was beautifully cheesy and I loved it!!

Well done Mary for the incredible video idea and for getting recognised by the man himself! I have a feeling your going to go far and who knows maybe you’ll be able to play with Mr Mayer live sometime that would be incredible! Have a great rest of your day! 😁🥳

This is just incredible Mary!! This is the best track I’ve heard in a long while!! Reminds me of a cross between John Mayer and Haim

Definitely enjoyed the final play through. Talented young woman...pleased to meet you. Look forward to more.

Haha, he gave you cred on Insta saying "I Snooze, I lose" that you released his new song before he did!!! Way to go Mary. Been following you and Leo for a long time. You are super talented. Keep it up!!!

"I don't know why I'm doing this.." Because it is cool as hell. It is the sort of thing I would do if I had any talent at all. It is a spectacular song writing challenge. I'm and engineer and I've learned so much re-creating other people's work. As a challenge or as a necessity to repair broken things.

Your solo PERFECTLY captured John's signature guitar tone. I've been following Rick for years and he is why I am now subscribing to a very creative, talented and intelligent Mary Spender. Well done!

This version is super cool too! Congratulations and so much admiration for you Mary, :)

Really great video Mary. Super mix, playing and vocals. 🎸🇬🇧🙋‍♂️

You just got a shoutout from John himself you are living my dream also great video!
