Hello to anyone reading this. I randomly came across this site while Googleing my name (yes, it's vanity at it's greatest.) Anyway, I just wanted to clear the air on this subject. The song Breakaway was a co-write between myself and John Mayer. The song was written in the spring of 1998 in Boston, MA. There are several known recordings of this song. One is a pseudo-studio version that I did, complete with a cheesy drum loop. This demo somehow made it to Napster, and into your hard drive. There is another version of John playing it live. I like this one because he plays the guitar part in a sort of Hendrix-y fashion. The third recording that I know of was done by my band Wisechild (http://www.wisechild.net) on our record "Firstborn." I enjoy reading everyone's interpretation of this song. You all have great ideas on what the song could be about. Thanks for listening and don't ever stop.
