A catchy yet simple track off of John Mayer's "Bigger Than My Body - Single" that never really surfaced anywhere. For those of you who don't know, this is a Radiohead cover.

I mean, it's not terrible, but anyone saying that this cover is better than the original is absolutely full of shit.

As far as RH covers go, this kinda genius - and its one of their most complicated and oblique songs. But its clear why this was so easily overlooked.

Remember everyone this is the internet so any cover songs are considered by fans of the original as an attempt to improve upon or out-do the original....instead of being considered a sign of respect and appreciation towards the original artist.

I'm not usually that keen on covers but this guy done a really good job. This song is one of the more obscure songs to cover and manages to get a similar sound with only a guitar and his voice, but also has his own feel to it as well. Love it.

It takes quite a musical and genius ear to hear one of Thom's more obscurred and processed pieces. Enigmatic and robotic and yet John hears all of it and more than likely the original melody Thom heard in his own head. He takes this with his guitar and voice and takes what I called a near robotic song with eerie lyrics and makes it perfect in melody, still haunting and still keeping the rhythm perfect in the guitar. The song still holds all the same mystery and yet John has revealed a layer. Genius.

Very tasty! Quite the critique here, its a cover of a song he likes. Enjoy it for what it is and let it have it's purpose.

Everybody is comparing it to the original version, which means it's good enough to be compared with the original one. And that doesn't happen in most radiohead covers.

I visited this link out of curiosity...because I love Radiohead and hate John Mayer. But, as much as I hate to admit it, he did a decent job with this. But let's make it clear, I still can't stand the douchebag :).

I fucking hate acoustic covers of songs that have much more flesh on them. This is so skinny and uncomplete without all the fine electronic details and the vibe that the original has.

I couldn't stand John Mayer when he was really popular in 20002/2003 and I loved Radiohead back then, I still do.. I heard this cover version once in 2003 and I was surprised that John Mayer covered it. Now that I'm listening to it again, I'd have to say this is probably just as good as the Radiohead version, in some ways it's slightly better. I have the Kid A album, so I've heard the album version many times.
