I wouldnt play this at a wedding!!!! It is one of the saddest most depressing songs i've ever heard. Its absolutely heart breaking. His #1 best song.
Play at your wedding?? Love making music?? Its a great song, maybe his best. But its about a failing relationship. Not cut out for weddings or love making...
Agree amazing song deserves to be number one a taste of sadness
This song is gonna play at my wedding AND m funeral! Classic!

The live version of this song on where the light is is in my opinion JMs best work. Gotta love everything about it.
john mayer himself said this was his favorite of his songs, as well
it's about reality being like gravity, restricting you and pulling you down. amazing live. personally, i think it's better than all his love and broken heart songs. we get enough of those. this is something different and true.
Do NOT agree at all. Heart of Life, In Your Atmosphere, Say, Half of My Heart, Back To You, My Stupid Mouth, all have it WAYYY over Gravity

This song is about how you can't stop life. No matter how hard you try, everyone can relate to it because everyone has had a point in their life there they just want to stop or pause everything. But you can't. This song can help you realize You Have To Move On, no matter how hard it is, because believe it or not, Life Will Move on With or Without You.

Absolutely adore this song one of my favs but i luv almost every songs of J.M
literally can't keep myself from singing this everytime i hear it. this is one of the best songs i have ever heard live and is worthly of the number 1 spot
I agree, most emotional song, and it ends with "wherever I go" which is one of the most beautiful chord progressions and vocal lines I've ever heard

this is the best pal.......................... why so down in the list???
This song is amazing! Also it is his first song that I've ever heard and made me want to find more about him. I still haven't found one as good as this but I'll certainly keep looking.
Amazing Guitars as usual. A very haunting intro and beautiful Lyrics. :)

One of my favorite songs of all time. A story with such soul in his vocals. Amazing.

Gnarly guitar riffs, massive rocking solo, and with lyrics to suit, this sequel of "City Love" deserves to be #1.
Comments:
Definetely Should be number 1, one of my favorite songs period.
This should be #1. I have never heard any song this great ever and as a die hard who has heard every song he has ever played I still think this is #1.
this is one of my top 5's for JM bc the guitar playing is sensational and speaks volumes more then lyrics when expressing this track. IT'S AMAZING IT'S INSANELY GREAT!!!!
I totally agree..just for the guitar work in this track...it has to be #1 on my list!!!!
Yes I agree this is no. 1 .....lyrics/ guitar solo is out of this world! His finest moment!

I think this is his best song. For me it is the most strait forward, and honest record. He has a few other good ones (Vultures, Daughters, Split Screen Sadness), but overall I think his style is too formulaic and dry. To me he sounds like he's trying too hard to be "classic", "funky", "jazzy", "bluesy", and "down white boy, but with a soulful sensitive side". Also I find his lyrics a bit trite. But just my opinion. When I was younger I liked him much more.

The guitar intro will blow your mind, as well as the instrumental.

I didn't give this song much of a chance when i first heard it, but when i listened to it properly i realised this is actually one of his most beautiful songs.
