- It's a sunday night, a night never to be trusted for emotions. So, a lot of you guys are gonna head home and either receive texts in the dead of night or actually compose them that are not going to be fully representative of how you feel for the rest of the day, for the rest of your week. Then you'll be reaching out, and if you're not reaching out you'll have someone else reaching out to you. And your friends, and your brain, and your morals, and your conscience have all trained you not to respond. But I'm gonna go against the grain and I'm going to suggest that the next time you get a message from the one you love, the only person in the world you love and can't talk to, that you respond. And you just write back when they ask you if you're up, and you're up, just write back, "Yup, come on over." Cause life is just too short to keep playing the game. Cause if you really want somebody, you'll figure it out later. Otherwise, you'll be laying in bed with a Blackberry on your chest staring at it, doing nothing for the rest of the night, hoping that it goes, "PRRR, PRRR, PRRR." If you love someone, if you love someone. If you love someone, if you love somebody. If you love someone. Don't say a word, say, "don't say a word, just come over. Just come over, just come over, don't say a word, just come over. Let me cry all over you, let me wish that you were someone different." If you love someone....

This speech made me make a crazy decision and then I had my heart broken. But I'm okay with that. Life's too short to keep playing the game. At least I tried. Still love you, John.
hahaha same here faaam :p
I can totally feel you! Just made the same experience.. I feel like most people are not completely honest and maybe just want to play the game - and don‘t understand how much strength it takes to open you heart for them and can‘t value what you did for them
Jecith thanks man! All good right now, John‘s music helps a lot
I too want to do the same so bad, but for now, I'm OK with the possibility that she'll "forget about me", dispite John's great lyrics. It hurts right now, but in time perhaps we will meet at a horisontal level of affection
Thayssa Vidal yeah I‘m 100% sure we will :) Because love always wins! Just believe in it, I wish you only the best.
My mind still can't understand how it's possible to play this riff and sing at the same time.
possible. practice and time.
Pfftt Practice?....He's a Jedi! This is common knowledge :P
Melanie Jones Does this mean I'm a jedi too? I can play and sing it perfectly fine
eheheh I thought the same. I also don't know how is it possible to play Who did you think I was, Ain't no sunshine and many other songs
MrGuitarRock time, practice, patience and magic.
Im still watching this in 2024
Same here!
im still crying after having listened to it 30 times
you're not alone
❤
Me too! I watch this all the time!
This guy is an emotion.
"hey man"
"hey"
"you good?"
"yeh i'm fine, how are you"
"me, i'm John Mayer"
Jack Dempsey I can relate
I'm always John Mayer lol
He is.. I would classify it as "romantically sad hope"
I'm feeling kinda John Mayer right now, what about u?
I swear that half the reason I'm such a hopeless romantic is because of this man, right here. Definitely my favorite artist of all time.
Native Wombat me too
Glad to know I’m not the only one who he helped throw into that ideology as well. Not sure if it’s healthy but I can’t control it so I’m not gonna fight it.
Word!
Sooo true
Same bro lol
"Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours"
This guy has a radically unique level of imagination.
i freaking love that line!!!! the best!! .. i love how real and raw it is.. its my fave from the song!!
I know but i still don't get what that means can anyone of you help me with that?
the axis is the imaginary line in the middle of the mattress while it spins. So the lyric basically means that he wishes when the mattress spins while he's lying there feeling alone, he will magically be moved to the girl's mattress to be with her. Actually, just last night he answered this Question on Twitter.
@@alejandrourquiza5891 good question
He is brilliant. I totally "get him"
Does anyone else have this bookmarked? Just to go back and watch when you're having one of those moments?
Yes, having that moment now at 2:00am friday night
+Andy Crick 1:34am friday night too
+Shelby Bradford well how freaky having one of those moments right now sat.1.35am and i really want to text someone who has been a complete bastard to me know that i've wised up to the fact that they've been a complete bastard to me and i was too in love with them to see it
Yup. Right now 1245 Am. Got me all up in my feels.
right at 2:51 am, yup, this is one of those moments
"Dad why is my sister's name Rose?"
"Because your mom loves roses"
"Oh, thank you, Dad"
"No problem, John Mayer Edge of Desire Live"
Ok
🥲😭🙃
😂😂😂 gold
I love dumbass jokes like this 😂
Me irl
"Cause life is just too short to keep playing the game. Cause if you really want somebody, you'll figure it out later" Too right my friend
Pelle van Smith :(
Or not the right hand is always there
Yea but.... It's a bummer if you go full-honesty mode, and get your heart broken in the end 😂😂
yeah that shit hurted.
No one or nothing can deny the love you deserve
We can file this in that one large folder of John Mayer songs of "B-side tracks that I didn't realize their genius until 5-10 years after they were released."
Brandon Pierson same here
Brandon Pierson A
yep!!!
Brandon Pierson So true.
Brandon Pierson so so so so true!
"Cause life is just too short to keep playing the game."
not because of life is short but because if the moments unnoticed.. edge of desire
mannnnn!!! That ALWAYS gets me!
True
I've lost the count of the times I've watched this.
cianalu me too
Same here dude
It's like I have learnt to play the song on my guitar, I have learnt to sing it note to note.. but hell I can not do it at the same time.. and that is so frustrating!!
I swear. It's like fine wine, only becomes better.
@@mercurial_me1 true
I responded & a couple months later I ended up marrying the love of my life. thank you John
Thats great man good luck!
❤️❤️❤️ John making marriages happen!
Way to go.. that's gorgeous. this is one of my all time favorite songs.. legend!!
Wow. Congratulations!
a regret is never seeing Mayer live when Battle Studies came out, because I'd kill for a live set of just this album.
me too. meeeee toooo
Battle Studies is right up there with continuum and WTLI for me, such a good album
@@chrisj1319 better in my opinion
literally a fucking mood i love this album just as much as continuum maybe even more and i was so young when it came out but i adore the album in its entirety
I wasn’t alive then
I've been a John Mayer fan for the longest time and for some reason, Edge of Desire has always been close to my heart. Two years ago, I fell in love with someone and we were in a long distance relationship. Whenever I used to miss him, I'd just text him the lyrics "Maybe this mattress, would spin on its axis and find me on yours". This year in January, we broke up. It's been so, so difficult to watch this video ever since. Somehow, I always end up watching this on a Sunday night. This reminds me of him and I don't want to associate this song with him anymore but it's tough. I didn't know where I was going when I started typing this comment, but I'd like to say one thing to everyone who's reading this comment (if someone *is* actually reading this hello lol) - cherish the love you have. Tell people that you love them. Don't give up on people who love you. Otherwise, like me, you'd be lying in bed, with your phone on your chest, waiting for it to go "brrrr, brrrr, brrrr" and trust me, that's not a good feeling.
I hope your mattress would spin on its axis and find someone whom you can love better.
Also, thanks for the reminder. :)
Ya
Thank you for sharing your amazing story ❤️
Wow... You gain my respect arya Thnks
I feel you sister. Sorry you had to go through that. I too was a victim of long distance. Im still getting better. Hope you are too. Dont be sad that it ended, be happy that it happened.
John Mayer is the best wing man ever
Hell yea brotha
Jonathan Oseguera Does anyone not realize what Aidan said... like the worst version of the word
I've never connected on an intellectual level so much with someone that I've never met before. This man is a genius. You either love him or hate him; all I can say is I've never related to someone's ideology and way of thinking more than with this man.
Alex Haggar literally just commented on someone else about how he’s sorta ignited (or maybe it was just there and I didn’t notice) the ideology of hopeless romanticism because I think that’s what I’d call this.
Love him musically, yet he's an arrogant prick when he speaks in person. I don't mind the concert talk but in an interview he's way too up himself. Hell of a guitarist and songwriter.
Amen !!!! His songs just move me.. so amazing as an artist. and that guitar...
So true. My mind has a best friend in this world called John Mayer. And a lot of people can relate to what he sings without knowing him. We all have our own Mayer who makes life more beautiful, he is a treasure.
So true, the way I connect to room for squares is unlike any
"Let me cry all over you.. Let me wish you were someone different.."
I dont get this part..Why "let me wish you were someone different?"{ if you love that person? LOL
@@ivessosa9298 My best guess is because as humans, we desire variety; in this case, being with different women. Even though you love this person, they are just ONE person and thus they are unable to satisfy one's craving for variety. So to say "Let me wish you were someone different" is to say 'let me wish you were someone else to trick myself into thinking i'm with another woman.', because ultimately, it is possible to get bored of the one you love.
It all links back into what he said about life being too short to "Playing the game.
@@isaacting1301 OhhhI I see... Capisce!! Love the intro and the song!
@@isaacting1301 no.I want be you so much, you don't really want me. I want to love somebody different who will love me back and not tear my heart out.
let me wish you were someone different....because the person i really love isn't here. in other words... i can't be with the person i really truly love, so i called "you". this happens all the time. we substitute "love the one you're WITH", for love the one you ACTUALLY love.
Listening to this in 2024. Everytime I listen to this I have goosebumps.
What a Magic song
Accurate blackberry buzzing sound
Lol
Have you ever heard a better prologue to a live song than this one? Is there a better song to fall back to on a lonely Saturday night than this? :)
Yes, he has one when he calls himself uncle John or something like that and said this phrase at the end after a long and precise prologue... "Never underestimate the power of I like that"
Jose Paucar remember what performance that was by any chance?
Yes!! He did it in Any Given Thurdays in 2002. I was looking for the video but i couldnt fin it, but I found the speech on internet, this is it. Hope you like it...
"So I was thinkin' about relationships and about how it pertains to songs about relationships, And uh, I was trying to think, well it occurred to me that the key, I figured out the key to a relationship and how to make it work. Check it out, this is, this is, a tip from your uncle John, check it out. When you first meet somebody, you find out they like you, first of all, a friend of a friend of theirs say, he or she really really likes you, and it kills you, floors you, sends you to the ground, you've got to pick yourself up off the ground; then you get their phone number and you call them up, right, and you say "Yeah, that's a really great phone conversation, can I see you some time?" and then they say this, they say, "I'd like that." Nothing feels better than "I'd like that". So now, your blood pressures' goin, you're six feet off the ground, you can't sleep, because of "I'd like that". So then you hang out for a while, and you call and you talk on the phone all the time, and then you drop the bomb, what feels like the bomb, you say, "You know what, I've been thinkin about you a lot." And she goes, "Ahhhhhhh!" And you go "What happened?" and she goes, "I'm sorry, I just, I just, I just, that's, I've been thinking about you too." Bam. Higher into the sky. But now "I'd like that." Tch. Done. Now you're up to "I'm thinkin about you." Then however number of months pass, it makes you feel comfortable saying it, you say "I gotta tell you something." They go "What?", you go "I'm in love with you." And nothing in the world sounds better than "I'm in love with you." And then maybe she starts crying, or maybe he goes "*gasp*". And all the sudden you're like "I'm in." But now what doesn't work?; "I'd like that." and "I've been thinkin about you." Now we're at "I'm in love with you." Then maybe some day it'll move up to "I love you." Fast forward, now you're like "I love you a lot; I love you more than anything in life." Now "I love you." doesn't work. It's a threshold that keeps movin up. Fast forward, like six months, six weeks, whatever the case may be, now you're on like, "I want to marry you." "I want to impregnate you with my love." "I wanna, I wanna just send my love to you." "Damn it, words don't work anymore." And then you say this line, and you know, you know you've used this line before, "I just wish they'd put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love because love just doesn't describe what I feel." And so now he or she starts askin, "Do you love me?" and you start goin, "Of course I love you." "Well say it." And then it becomes "Say it twice." And it goes "Say it three times." And then, you cross a really interesting point, where all the sudden it becomes "I hate you, I hate you." And you go, "Oh my god she hates me." And now it's like "I hate you more than anything." And then it's like "We're over." And then they go "No we're not." And you go "Yes we are." Now the words completely do not work at all, you're left with nothing. You're throwing punches under water. You're done. You know what the moral of that story is, if there is one. Never, ever, ever, ever underestimate the power of "I'd like that." John Mayer
Jose Paucar wow, I really appreciate this man, thank you!!
Jose Paucar just read this: if this was really him all the way back in 2002 I have to admire the young 22year old him for all the wisdom he had already
Mayer is just an incredible talent. Cant think of too many people who can introduce a song like that and then launch into a song and then then play that lick. This is real music, the real deal.
This is such a hauntingly beautiful song-coming straight from the heart. He definitely has a point here. It's not just the vocals and lyrics-his music is beautiful in every song he does!
Young people don’t know about music like this. This is one of those songs that carry more weight because of how much talent John put into it. So powerful.
Well, after rewatching this live version dozens of times, I finally have the courage to press the send button. Life’s too short.
Update: I’m doomed to die alone I guess
What you need is coming to you. Have faith. It’s hard sometimes. But it will.
It's been almost 9 years since we dated, but we've seen each other here and there. This song resonated with me so hard during 7 of those years. We'd speak occasionally. We'd remain there for each other throughout all the boyfriends and the girlfriends. We'd often end up asleep in each other's arms on a couch after a night of partying with our mutual friends. But we'd say nothing about it. I moved away for 2 years and we have barely spoken these last 3. We spent one full day together last January, where everything came rushing back. The nostalgia the memories. We actually both planned just to catch up for an hour, but neither of us ordered the bill. Each time he waved at the waiter, I expected him to ask for the bill, but he said "another carlsberg please *turns to me* did you want another drink?". I saw john mayer live a few days ago, I remember telling myself during the set that if he sings edge of desire i'll take it as a sign to contact him. Or to tell him how i've felt all this time, because I never did. It was too much, and I couldn't trust him. But I loved him. Now.. I don't know.. there can't be love there we barely spoke in 3 years.. but there is residue. A yearning for the past. Well, john sang the song, but I couldn't message him. I just couldn't do it. 9 years of holding back, just to say it in text? Not to mention, He's in a relationship. But i'm here, listening to this again, 5 years later, thinking about him. It's bittersweet I guess.
MeeraAlMidfa update?
This breaks my heart =(
feeels!
My name is John Mayer. Just message.
You’ll never know until you finally send that message.
This guy has been an integral part to my emotional education as a human being. This performance is everything to me.
Just raw, honest music.
THIS COMMENT IS INSANELY ACCURATE. I"M KINDA OBSESSED WITH IT
beautifully expressed!!
Amen brother.
Again, thank you❤
@@herrqwertz3567 ❤❤
I know you're not reading this, but I miss you a lot and I hope you don't forget about me.
Shelsea Hüsch Call ‘em up!
yes kinda miss you
john
Life’s too short to be playing that game.
Call them woman
there's something about this particular performance ...
whaooo! another malagasy john mayer fan!
Okay John. I was seeing someone for over two years... Hopelessly fell in love with her ... Got my heart broken ... And it fucked me up . I stayed away from all these stuff for a while because I didn't want to go back to falling in love and getting my heart broken like that.
But you know how it goes. You cross paths with interesting people as life goes on.
Wasn't different in my case either. There's this girl in my class . I'm happy when I'm around her. I keep smiling from ear to ear which is something I have not done in a long time. Even though I know I like her , I'm scared to tell her .
I've seen this video hundreds of times before . And every single time , the speech before the song gives me goosebumps.
When I saw it now , it gave me the motivation to tell her how I really feel.
I'm going to tell her tonight.
It's a Sunday night after all.
I might get my heart broken , maybe tonight, maybe later. But I don't care..
" Life is too short to keep playing the game. Because if you really want someone , you'll figure it out later "
Thank you John. I love you ❤️
Edit 1 - 07/10/2019
Guess I have a girlfriend now :)
Edit 2 - 30/06/2020
It did not work out. I'm gonna move away for higher studies and she moved for work. The pandemic took a toll on our mental health as well. :( but I do not regret anything. We still are great friends even though we've gone our separate ways
Edit 3 - 25/03/23
Wow. Feels surreal writing this tbh. We've been pretty busy figuring shit out in the past couple of years but still kept in touch. And recently we started speaking quite often and it reached a point where we admitted to still having feelings for each other. The last time I met her was November of 2021. I'm gonna see her again in 5 days and I'm super excited about it. Wish us luck :)
Edit 4 - 07/05/23
Leaving again for studies/work. She's busy with work as well. We've agreed on giving long distance a go and I'm really happy that things are finally starting to go in a good direction. Wish us luck.
Edit 5 - 15/09/23
Long distance has it's ups and downs. We're going through our fair share of them as well.
Edit 6 - 02/10/23
My heart is heavy when I'm typing this. We've decided to part ways. Is it what I want? No. But you don't always get what you want or things doesn't always work out the way you want them to.
I feel like this thread has been a part of our relationship in a way, so I'm updating this.
Life's hard rn. I hope I make it through.
Congrats, glad u did that, good for u
@@jf3349 Thanks mate
Way to go man!
@@tessa3217 Thank you
Cyrusseee this is♥️
This is what I pay internet for
Just like everybody else in this comments section, I felt extremly encouraged to take a leap of faith and love as much as I could. She didn't respond the way I intended and I completely understand, the truth is that I still see her differently and Im always fighting to forget about it, but for those brief 20 seconds or so of extreme courage I felt invincible and stronger than I ever felt before.
that prologue makes me feel some type of way and Edge of Desire has always been my favorite song from him
I know this video is a decade old, but it is just so representative of a universal feeling today. I’m sort of a late bloomer Mayer fan and this song was always in my ear after first hearing it. I had always thought of this song as a cry for longing for your lover. Throughout my relationship with her, I would always talk about this song and how it made me just want to be with her, lie together on the couch, just letting the world disappear around us. Those moments were just so awesome. To feel like the world couldn’t do a damn thing to us. But it turns out it could. Ever since we broke, I’ve truly understood this song now. I don’t want to play the game. I want to tell her everything that’s in me, both the hurt and the love. But I can’t do it. I can’t reach out because all its going to do is bring more pain. Either way, I don’t think i’m going to hear the phone buzzing or ever hear her reach out. But that cry, “just come over, just come over, let me cry all over you, let me wish you were someone different” will ring true.
You are heard and seen
@@suju3056 loudly! This was powerful!
im living this nightmare. my second time and 7 years. im so broken. i dont have it in me to date again for a LONG time. i just doubt she’ll ever wanna see my number come up again.
@@tw8454 It cannot be easy man. Pressure through alright? You'll get through this, I believe in you.
People who don't like his speeches can I have your concert tickets? :D
I don't see what the problem is..his speeches add a lot to this experience of his shows. If you don't like hearing other people's opinions it's up to you. Considering the majority of the venue goes crazy for his speeches he will continue to do them. People care about what he has to say. If you don't then that's just too bad for you. Concerts are also very much about hands on communication with the fans. Plus it is used as a transition/ intro to the song in almost all cases. So. It is always a plus. It shows dedication. It's easy to just go up on stage and repeat songs. Communication with the audience is key.
WTF..
Kostas1601 stfu pussy
So true, if you want one without the speech just get the album version! I'm amazed at people complaining. Why don't they just head to the album version? My personal opinion though.
Well said why do people bitch..if you don't like it stay away from the concert.. sheesh!!
@@avee2471 you must be alone
fuck this imma have to call her now
Hope it went well if you did end up calling her
I'ma say this... I called her and we got back together but it ended in shambles so yeah.
You called her though and that's better than a lot of people , now your mind won't be nagging at you all day and night telling you what could've been
you're right. however i still come back to this specific live performance and reminisce. :D
idiot there's 7 billion people in this world and you have to call her
My heart beats so fast whenever I hear this song. The most beautiful song I've ever heard.
" I want you so bad I'd go back on the things I believe"... what an amazing line.
he is playing that and singing!!
Not to that tough, play it without singing until it's muscle memory, then sing your heart out!
Joey Smith still difficult nonetheless
The "every breath you take" of our generation.
The intro and the actual song ,lyrics ,everything about this song is so amazing ... Another mayer's gem !!
it really is dude
it's like this man secretly tapped into my soul and laid it out right in front of me and made it beautiful.
Such an inspirational opening speech to the perfect song for it.
Your twin! Haha
Bahaha you got it :)
Haha its time to share your stage gig!
Had to come back here every once in a while...
Same here
that frickin guitar intro is an *a d d i c t i o n* to me
Oh me too ❤
Watching this in 2024, wishing I saw this a dozen years ago. Thanks for tellin us the truth, brother John ❤
this speech is everything
I always come back to this song when I my heart hurts, makes me wanna text my ex and tell her how much our relationship meant to me and how I want to start over. Never felt so in love with somebody before, just to watch her walk away with somebody else. Breaks my heart knowing there won’t ever be a second chance with her because of her unfaithful acts. “I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe” is such a powerful line because I can feel that so badly, but in the end I know that will just break me again.
Keep your head high King. Know your worth, better will come. I promise.
@@eric3893 I appreciate you ❤️ I do deserve a lot better.
I appreciate you both for the messages. Thanks so much and stay strong, Scott. Better will come!
Your pride as a man is more important than a woman that slept with someone else
Same bro
The way he makes his guitar weep in the solo....puts a lump in my throat every single time and I've been watching this video for years. When someone can play like that, there really are no words. He's a modern day Clapton. Play on, John. Play on.
Love is really nothing but a dream that keeps waking me................................
John is a genius. It's amazing how he can express the feeling of wanting someone that you let go, but you wish that person called you, texted you, to come over, say nothing and lay next to you.
Since it's the end of the year, I got my Spotify wrapped results a couple days ago and I found out I listened to John 104 hours this year and this song was my number one most played. Never been to one of his concerts but I would be the happiest girl if I ever got the opportunity. He is truly my favorite musician. He has so much soul and such a great heart.
Ahah your not the only one like that ahah but on my part my most listened is covered in rain ;-)
Where do you live!
@@purebluejapan- he never went to france :(
''A night never to be trusted for emotions''. And now John is getting is through the Sunday nights with Current Mood. What a legend!
Dealing with the hardest breakup of my life and that intro had me trying not to break down in front of everyone at work. Love John, his music is healing
I feel you.
Hang in there, life continues, so should you
It’s okay to argue. It’s okay to yell. It’s okay to be sad, angry, mad, jealous. It’s okay to cry. People always seem to forget that we are human. Far from perfect. Far from getting it right the first time. Johns songs really embody that idea of imperfection that’s why I keep coming back. Because imperfection is beautiful. And perfect is something I’ll never know
He is just so damn clear about what it means to be alive...Man! what a perfectly imperfect being...LOVE HIM!!
so good to see people opening their hearts because of his monologue... in fact, there's a painful truth in his words and it's sad that we spend too much time in life avoiding our feelings.
yup, come over. Life gets easier this way.
"Let me cry all over you, let me wish that you were someone different." The honesty
I never understood this. What does he mean by this?
@@moulipal3468 - Perhaps, it encapsulates second guessing someone you want to be with, but they have "issues" (lack of compatibility). Part of you says to stay away, but the other part says "who cares!" because you're madly in love with them.
Just one possible interpretation.
@@Stuff7164 ah, I like that interpretation
@@moulipal3468 - Kinda like Minnie Driver in 'Good Will Hunting' telling Matt Damon, "I'm willing to give it a shot!"

I'm not a guitarist but I am a bookwork and English literature nerd and that's why I love this guy's poetry in all his songs.
I had the chance to hold her hand forever. It all slipped away because I was too afraid I wasn't enough. It's been 5 years, 3 exes, & a lifelong regret, I still want her.

Getting massively paranoid rn and on the verge of getting an anxiety attack and that speech made me tear up. The riff sent shivers down my spine. His voice calmed the storm within me. I sincerely thank you, John for the music you create. You HELP people through it, heal them through it. 💕
Steady my breathing, silently screaming.
This is me sometimes

I have a story to tell. One month ago I wanted so bad to wright a message to a girl I didn’t know at the time. So I listened to this speech and it motivated me to do it. We spent one month getting to know each other but we never got further. But tonight I was watching live shows on my TV and this one came up again, it made me realize how much love deserves a hard try. I wrote back to the girl telling her I was coming to her home to kiss her. She was so surprised but she came out and we kissed under the rain like in a movie. Just to say that love exists, it’s just hidden behind the fear of the other and the lack of confidence. Music is a reminder that it’s true. Thank you so much John ❤️
I did not expect to be here at 1:10 am but here I am again. My favorite FAVORITE live version in the entire world.
Omg it’s 1:05am when I read this lol
This is my favorite song EVER. Why was this never a single?!?!
I bet you will find all the die hard romantics down here..... always at JM's. .. LOVE YOU JOHN !
I rewatch this performance once a month. Something so special about the little speech, "if you love somebody".. comes from the heart.
I heard the speech, thought about the girl I loved. Called her, asked her out. She's my girlfriend. Thanks John Mayer! Best relationship I've ever had. This guy needs to be a motivation speaker! GIVE THIS MAN A NOBEL PRIZE!
sometimes speaking up isnt enough. if a person really dont like or love you im pretty sure words are just words to them. theres no emotion, no excitement, no meaning, nothing... but theres nothing wrong expressing out your feelings. you have this time and chance to say the words so you have to make up the most of it. thats what I did. but I ended losing myself and her. this song really reminds me of how love correctly works. if a person totally wants you, even if you dont say a word they will come over. if you want somebody give it a go or regret not doing anything. acceptance or rejection it doesnt matter because either ways you'll still live in this world full of pain and happiness.
this song always makes me cry
Don’t control what you can’t fight.
Love you, John.
and i love him when i don't know how it happened, and now i know i shouldn't because he never will. . .and i'll never know what i did wrong to be in this situation, but i'm willing to go against everything i know and be with him.
ironic that i finally understand this song after all these years, i can only imagine what John was going through when he wrote this song. even being in this situation now i can barely describe it or explain it to myself because i don't even understand, and John turns it into this beautiful song. incredible. just incredible.
word. me too.
You took the words right out of my mouth. He's amazing.
This song somehow haunts me till this day with all the memories I have associated with those Worst days when I was lonely and all alone. The car rides at night to back home..self doubtful and insecured days flashes before me even today. The key shift in some parts of the song just sends chill in the spine.
I don't have words to describe how much I love this. I met a guy who loves John and we lived great moments together... in our third date we spent the night watching John's concert (Rock in Rio).
I miss him so much... I hope someday he watches this video and listen to John's words.
I hope that for you too! I just hope you’re not settling. I hope that you get every ounce of love you deserve Ma! Because you do in fact, deserve the world! Blessing & best of luck to you! ♥️
@@nunyabidnazz2311 thank you for your kind words ♥️
@@Gabi-vv1zr you’re welcome. I sincerely hope everything works out better than you imagined! I remember being devastatingly heartbroken and torn up about my ex.... I seriously thought I’d die without him. Then I slowly got over it and accepted it and the funniest thing happened after I decided to focus on being the best version of myself possible....my husband came head on into my life, hit me like a train, lol like a love train. Now it all makes sense. Now I’m so overjoyed that none of my other relationships worked out, because I was supposed to be with this man the whole time! I just know that one day, when you’re least expecting it, your person will be sent to you. Maybe this guy, maybe not....but whoever he is, he’s going to come and show you the love you’ve always deserved. I know it’s hard to imagine right now. And that’s okay. Right now, it’s okay to cry, to process your emotions and feelings. Take the time to look out for you! Just know, it’s always darkest before dawn & there are random people that actually sincerely care about you as a fellow human being ♥️ I’m one of em! You’re gonna be just fine 🤗
@@nunyabidnazz2311 it's so nice to read your message. Thanks again for your words!
In fact I have a similar story... After 3 years and a half of a bad relationship, I was focused on working on my best version, but he just happened. I wasn't even expecting for it.
He's the sweetest person I have ever met and also helped me to get through some challenges in my life. Besides we have kind of a connection that I am not able to explain you how it works, but it exists. And we never had a "fight" or something like that. That's why it's so difficult to forget him right now.
He's so special and I really miss him.
But you're right about you've said.
Thank you so much ❤️
@@Gabi-vv1zr 😢 thank you for sharing this! It’s so hard to know that you’re missing him so, I wish he would listen to this and tell you to come over!!! My parents (when they were much younger) had split up for years. My Mother said she was desperately missing my Dad, thought about him everyday, but her pride got in the way and she wasn’t willing to ‘be the one crawling back.’ That’s how she described it to me. She said one night, out of nowhere, she ran into my Dad while out with her friends...he walked up to her, didn’t say anything and grabbed her and kissed her....just went for it, right there in front of everyone. Not worried about the fear of her rejecting him, and they’ve been together for the past 30 years, having myself and my siblings. Thing is, sometimes, it does work out. No matter what happens, I wish you comfort and a wonderful future! ♥️
This is for the girl, who was my great love and my greatest tragedy. I’ve loved you since we were 13 years old and haven’t loved you less since then. I’m sorry for giving up on us 9 years ago, i look back now and it’s still my greatest regret but seeing you happily married now makes the pain worth my while cause I know he’ll do the things I would’ve wanted us to be. I love you and I’ll be seeing you in another life, when we are both cats. -8/4/02
I keep coming back to this live every now and then just to remind myself.
God bless the person who recorded this. You're the reason I come back to this video whenever I'm low. You have no idea what you've given to this world John. I love you so much❤️
I'm going through a break up and whenever I feel like texting my ex I comeback to this video and just cry. It's only because I know I shouldn't text her but I always end up texting her. You spoil me John. Why are you such a hopeless romantic? I wish I wasn't a hopeless romantic like you. I love you so much! I hope my ex realises my love for her and comes back to me. Well, till then I'll just always watch this video and remember our good times. Thank you uploader for uploading this❤️
I can relate, sir. I wish you the best. Stay strong!
"Cause life is too short..." He was about to cry in that part. Only honest word's from his mouth, that's why he also makes us cry... Love is really nothing, but a dream that keeps me awake
God bless John Mayer and the one who recorded this video, more than 10 years down and I still can't get enough of this one! Still on the edge of desire.
“Cause if you really want somebody, you’ll figure it out later. Otherwise you’ll be laying in the bed with your blackberry on your chest, staring at it, doing nothing for the rest of the night, hoping that it goes “PRRR PRRR PRRR”. If you love someone, if you love somebody say, “ don’t say a word, just come over”❣️
Still the best video on a sunday night in 2020
2022*
I can't explain how I felt when I watched thid video for the first time. But touched me with the very profound way. Today is the John Mayer's b-day and a decided to watch this again just for realize again that "life's too short to keep playing the game".
Best version
This song. This performance. This intro.
“Yup, come over”. That John’s voice is a little broken by this time in that tour, makes this performance even more meaningful.
this song proves this man is one of the greatest ever. guitar players know what im talking about
Just learned this on guitar today. Took me a little longer than expected haha and to sing with it? Impossible...for now
+chrislopez44 ikr i can play the guitar parts but as soon as i start singing i lose focus too lol
+Jon Samuel +chrislopez44 i just recorded a video playing and singing this song, It would be awesome if you watch it. Anyways, thanks for your time
Wow
no exaggeration, i must listen to this song hundreds of times a day, its too much for me.
I can't believed I stumbled into this performance on a Sunday night. "It's a Sunday night. A night never to be trusted with emotion." What a mystifying coincidence.
How much I love his words. This particular speech gave me just enough courage to text the one I thought I loved this past summer, after not seeing him for over a year. "Cause if you really want somebody, you'll figure it out later..." The guy texted back, telling me it was so great to hear from me again. We spend, in my mind, some magical times together. But then he went back to his old distant self again. I haven't heard form him in a couple of weeks. I don't think I ever will again. But I'm ok with it now. Because I indeed figured it out later: I gave him another chance and he blew it. His loss. It was the exact closure I needed.
It’s 2020 and even though I’ve met my forever soulmate this song means so much to me. My journey to find her and the journey we’re both still on finding ourselves. Life is inescapably beautiful if you just let it.
Who's still watching this is 2023? ❤🙋♀️❤

The lyrics and the guitar are equally amazing. Probably one of the best songs ever in my opinion. His music has a way of holding you captive until you feel what he’s saying.
This right here has definitely become my favourite live performance of John ever. That intro is just golden. He’s just too good with words..
Anybody else still get the chills during that first bend of the solo?
I will forever be in love with this song. I found this song when I first started dating my boyfriend 3 years ago... He leaves for boot camp tomorrow and I listened to it today and it brings back so many great memories. John is truly a great artist. This my favorite video of him singing this song. The speech in the beginning gets me all the time.
Hey hows life??
It's been so many years since I discovered this song and I still keep coming back to it. Everything feels so pure about this. Edge of desire has always been my favourite song but there's something about this performance in particular that just gets me every time.
4 years and counting. My Sunday night song.
