I love this song and Mayer. His music has meant so much to me and my family since his first album. This song makes me kinda sad for John. To me, this song shows his desire to return to this metaphorical neighborhood, settle down to a quiet life with a nice woman, truly be accepted for who he is, and reminisce with her about his past life of fame and music shenanigans.
Ok, but watch his smile at the end of the song. He's so proud, and he should be. His realism and awareness might top his amazing musical talent, which is impossible.
This was SO amazing in person! I was watching the video from St. Paul on repeat before the concert yesterday and I almost cried when he played it for us last night!
very cool! I did parking that night, got in after lot was overflowing.. i had part of this song in my fone but I accidently deleted all my videos..it was so cool! I'm enlighted by the dude john✊
Was at this show, all the way from Texas. Took some dear friends to their first Mayer show. We had a fantastic time. This tour has been something special. Can’t wait to see him in Austin next
The three or four songs he’s been playing on the tour are so dead locked into his early writing style …. If this album is that it’s going to be one of the greatest things to ever happen.
I was listening to the live in St. Paul version all day before the concert so I could remember the lyrics! When he played it live in Denver, it felt so so so worth it! Also, I learned the song on guitar off watching John on this video! So thank you so so much for posting this for both the memories and my learning purposes! 💜
He’s added a couple instrumental measures in between the verses. “I’ll be kicking ‘round the neighbourhood” instead of sticking ‘round. Added a strum section prior to the awesome breakdown. He remembered the goddamn lyrics for once :))
Take a moment, Make it last now *La la La La la La La What’s the hurry, not so fast now* All I’m doing is being me now* What a feeling to be free now* Uhhhh, ohhhh Do you remember when you were younger?* All the heartache, and the hunger* You said you’d wait up, I wouldn’t let you* I said that someday I’d come back to get you* (Chorus) Ooooo I’m back in town And I think, I’m here for good So if you want to really love me I think you should, I’ll be kicking ‘round In the neighborhood I found the morning when it was hiding* And now the quiet's so exciting* I do the puzzle, I read the funnies* I haven’t slept since I left in my twenties (Chorus) **I wish you would, I’ll be kicking ‘round, in the neighborhood... ... In the neighborhood... I'm In the neighborhood I'm In the neighborhood And I’m staying put Might as well just be myself then (x4) Two trees falling in the woods alone, ahhh Nobody calling on the telephone, ahhh You and me walking by the riverside, ahhh Telling you all about my rocket ride, ahhh I’m in the neighborhood (x4) La la La La la La La...

Perhaps it has to do with perception and reality. “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” as the philosophical adage goes. Maybe his way of creating his own reality, which he compliments with “might as well just do me now”
I think given the rest of the bridge I think it has to do with a “just you and me” type of feeling with the “nobody’s callin on the telephone”. Hits me hard as I’m in the military atm so personally that part really does well to capture what we’re all looking forward to. Getting out and coming home. Just me and her. No more leaving. No more being called away. Little optimistic for someone who’s only 20 but eh, one can hope nothin else comes up 😂
@@nicholasberends7751 still young. Nothing good out there to take seriously anymore. Everyone is just out for themselves and what they can get out of you. No one is honest anymore. Or ppl just fade away. God be with us. Stay safe. May God & our angels keep you shielded on your path. 🙏🪽🥺
so I think I got the chords here in a super basic way, John just loves to be John lol. Capo 2 E, B, C# and A ? someone correct me but that's what i'm hearing haha
the song is in Gb major, the starting line/rift is a 3, 2, 1, but over the tonic chord, and sort of ends of on what i think is a 1maj with 13? idk it’s 5am where im at and i can’t get to my guitar but fairly certain it’s something like that
You know what would land as ultra cool? Say, you never argued about a guitar and Mustang, I want a Mustang, I would land eternally grateful, not to mention Jarod would quit teasing me with his Bustang. A Mustang at my house 2020 GT and all these troubles would end. Also, you may want to write a very protective prayer for your nations leaders over your facebook page. Whole worlds leaders to protect those people more. MUSTANG AND I MIGHT ACT COOLER,
I wasn’t sold the first time I heard it until I got to the hook of the chorus. Man this guy can WRITE.
First time listening to John? Lol
It’s not his song it’s the Grateful Dead’s called ripple
@user-jr3ff4ii9x Picking wise it sounds quite like buckets of rain if you take close look at it but it's very cool either way haha
@@chrissamolovitch3625 there's absolutely no similarities to that song whatsoever.
And now you’re sold like a bag of smack in Glasgow
Honestly this will probably be his best album ever released if the rest of his songs in it are this good
lets hope we’re in for another born & raised
Calm down!!!!!
Drifting is horrible,
This song is actually good
@@tripleglzlike everyone, you are entitled to your wrong opinion. Driftin is fantastic, and I can’t wait for the studio version
I love this song and Mayer. His music has meant so much to me and my family since his first album. This song makes me kinda sad for John.

I love this new John Mayer tune so much. It's sweet and conveys a beautiful message. So charactistic of him. I love it. Love him too
Ok, but watch his smile at the end of the song. He's so proud, and he should be. His realism and awareness might top his amazing musical talent, which is impossible.
where I was at it was just him and the whole arena full of people amazing show. Acrisure arena
Very Beautiful Videos and Music ❤️💞💕🥰😘💖😎💥🌞🌹🌷🥀🌺🦋🐞♥️🙏♥️🤜🤛🤘🤘👌 Have a wonderful Friday and Saturday and Sunday and new Weekend too John Mayer
Very Paul Simon-esque. Love it! I like that key change and bridge part
This was SO amazing in person! I was watching the video from St. Paul on repeat before the concert yesterday and I almost cried when he played it for us last night!
in your atmosphere vibes
No lol such a different style
Amazing songwriter. His chords and melodies are so divine.
Thx for uploading! Interesting to see how the song develops, this one is a little bit faster, anyone?
Yeah it does sound faster
He's more confident in the lyrics and definitely more confident in the transitions. It's developing beautifully.
This song has such a reminiscent, "house on Pooh corner" feel to it. Absolutely love it!
Easily my new favorite John Mayer song.
It’s not his song it’s the Grateful Dead’s called ripple
It’s called ripple by the Grateful Dead he plays with them that’s why he covered it
@@chrissamolovitch3625 I’m not sure we are listening to the same song. That’s completely different.
very cool! I did parking that night, got in after lot was overflowing.. i had part of this song in my fone but I accidently deleted all my videos..it was so cool! I'm enlighted by the dude john✊
Please go record this John!!!
I need this song in my playlist!
That chorus has a melody progression that’s very Paul McCartney…love it
Was at this show, all the way from Texas. Took some dear friends to their first Mayer show. We had a fantastic time. This tour has been something special. Can’t wait to see him in Austin next
Love love love this song...all im doing is be me now.
Just heard this at last night's concert here in Phx and enjoyed it live but hearing it again really made me like it more. Nice video 👍
LOVE THIS NEW SONG! thank you so much for sharing!
Nicee!
The three or four songs he’s been playing on the tour are so dead locked into his early writing style …. If this album is that it’s going to be one of the greatest things to ever happen.
I was there!!! Amazing concert
I freaking love him so much.

Nice one!
UNREAL
Love this one.
He’s added a couple instrumental measures in between the verses.
“I’ll be kicking ‘round the neighbourhood” instead of sticking ‘round.
Added a strum section prior to the awesome breakdown.
He remembered the goddamn lyrics for once :))
Maybe he forgot the lyrics and said "kicking" instead of "sticking" :D
"He remembered the goddamn lyrics for once :))"
- ha ya, ive been refreshing youtube waiting for a more complete version
I like sticking instead of kicking, it fits better with the theme of the song.
He's genius
SOOO GOOD LIVE!
Ah man what a fucking genius.
Songwriting magic.
This is such an earworm
A little Fleetwood Mac-style picking!
goosebumps
Take a moment, Make it last now
*La la La La la La La
What’s the hurry, not so fast now*
All I’m doing is being me now*
What a feeling to be free now*
Uhhhh, ohhhh
Do you remember when you were younger?*
All the heartache, and the hunger*
You said you’d wait up, I wouldn’t let you*
I said that someday I’d come back to get you*
(Chorus) Ooooo I’m back in town
And I think, I’m here for good
So if you want to really love me
I think you should, I’ll be kicking ‘round
In the neighborhood
I found the morning when it was hiding*
And now the quiet's so exciting*
I do the puzzle, I read the funnies*
I haven’t slept since I left in my twenties
(Chorus)
**I wish you would, I’ll be kicking ‘round,
in the neighborhood...
... In the neighborhood...
I'm In the neighborhood
I'm In the neighborhood
And I’m staying put
Might as well just be myself then (x4)
Two trees falling in the woods alone, ahhh
Nobody calling on the telephone, ahhh
You and me walking by the riverside, ahhh
Telling you all about my rocket ride, ahhh
I’m in the neighborhood (x4)
La la La La la La La...
La la La La la La La
Lindsay Buckingham Vibes anyone?
My neighborhood???🎉🎉🎉❤❤😅😅
From the Rockrimmon rat to the Perigean Princess. I love you Cassidy
Does anyone has an idea what the deeper meaning is behind the line: two trees falling in the woods alone. Just curious!
Perhaps it has to do with perception and reality.
“If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” as the philosophical adage goes.
Maybe his way of creating his own reality, which he compliments with “might as well just do me now”
I take it as the ending of a love story. A couple, in love, getting old together in peace and reflecting on the crazy life they’ve had.
@@ajgardell yes 😂 woohoo ❤
I think given the rest of the bridge I think it has to do with a “just you and me” type of feeling with the “nobody’s callin on the telephone”.

Why did this song only hit once for me ?
so I think I got the chords here in a super basic way, John just loves to be John lol. Capo 2 E, B, C# and A ? someone correct me but that's what i'm hearing haha
the song is in Gb major, the starting line/rift is a 3, 2, 1, but over the tonic chord, and sort of ends of on what i think is a 1maj with 13? idk it’s 5am where im at and i can’t get to my guitar but fairly certain it’s something like that
Chorus chords look like F#sus4, F#, c#minor, F#minor7, B, B/A, G#minor, c#minor, A (or f#min7 not sure..) B, back to verse
With a capo on 2nd of course, so they're the shapes!
@@alexcalaunan thanks !
@@philthornton-smith4351 Thanks!
And, I cannot listen to your song as I am pretty sure it is wonderful and I might cry. Whereas, I do not want to cry over you, I want a MUSTANG.
So wherever you are… misheard it
seems like a song written to his younger self
You know what would land as ultra cool? Say, you never argued about a guitar and Mustang, I want a Mustang, I would land eternally grateful, not to mention Jarod would quit teasing me with his Bustang. A Mustang at my house 2020 GT and all these troubles would end. Also, you may want to write a very protective prayer for your nations leaders over your facebook page. Whole worlds leaders to protect those people more. MUSTANG AND I MIGHT ACT COOLER,
These new songs just not doing it. Its a Bit to “teen”
IMO i thought the exact opposite! , its mature, and very reflective its not "teeny" like your body is a wonderland. but to each their own :D
If the word boring was a song.
ok
Iron maiden fan.
