this is just like... hey, I learnt all these chords I never use... how about I put them all in one brilliantly constructed, lyrically clever, witty, but also emotional and personal song, with a sound world that melds perfectly with the subject matter... then put it as the last track on RFS as just a rare tune. Skills.
This is probably John Mayer's most underrated song. But it's also my favorite, and the one that touched my heart the most in the Room of Squares album. It's tone was so separate from the others, so I think this must hold a special meaning for him. When I think of his songs, this for me still ranks the best.
The chords in this song....damn how did he come up with that progression...maybe I'm just too much of a freaking noob but I find it really impressive..
@@ConradoEv Cannot agree more, strumming is the easiest however the chords progression is hard to figure i mean for me atleast it was a challenge to figure them out but it deserves it.
We also seem to forget to give credit to his bassist in Room For Squares, and in a few other live and studio albums, David LaBruyere. RFS wouldn’t be the album it turned out to be if it wasn’t for DaLa on bass. That dude added sooo much color, flavor, and feel to the entire RFS album. 🔥
Mayer is always at his best in this setting. Pared back, raw, perfectly imperfect vocals. Any Given Thursday is still one of the best live albums to ever be produced. This sort of style. Still great in 2021.
Listening to this song live isnt enough. I want to eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. I want to absorb it. Songs like this are a once and a lifetime gift.
I never thought M Night Shyamalan was this great at playing bass too. But seriously, the stuff in its lyrics and melody still hits me to my core. Such a timeless masterpiece. 👌
Can we make John Mayer Spokesman to lobby to make St Patrick’s day A national holiday For after all this is where it started right here in New York in 1762 And one more good reason there is no holidays in April and March so let’s lobby your Congress and senators to make it so John Mayer ❤️☘️
Best song of his best album. Luckily there’s a great tutorial of this song on RUclips, or else I never learned to play this song. How he composed this... wow.
I remember when he did this song, it was coming up on Christmas, and it really was a great performance. Stairway to Heaven was never released as a single either, there's food for thought
actually John is now playing the style of music that is exactly what he wants to play. room for squares was just his was of getting his foot in the door by playing pop music. if you ever listen to an interview or if you ever listen to his lyrics you would know that
Here comes the cold Break out the winter clothes And find a love to call your own You, enter you Your cheeks a shade of pink And the rest of you in powder blue Who knows what will be But I'll make you this guarantee No way November will see our goodbye When it comes to December it's obvious why No one wants to be alone at Christmas time In the dark, on the phone You tell me the names of your brothers And your favorite colors I'm learning you And when it snows again We'll take a walk outside And search the sky Like children do No way November will see our goodbye When it comes to December it's obvious why No one wants to be alone at Christmas time And come January, we're frozen inside Making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrrick's Day We should take a ride tonight around the town And look around at all the beautiful houses Something in the way that blue lights on a black night Can make you feel more Everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be Just like you and me No one wants to be alone at Christmas time Come January, we're frozen inside Making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And if our always is all that we gave And we someday take that away I'll be alright, if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day
@themanwhocanfly Okay your comment is three years old, but who knows if you will see this: go check Love Song For No One from his Any Given Thursday concert, he does a little more than nothing there

@@12xenn45 you are clearly not intermediate. You find the strumming pattern complex 😂😂😂

It's easy to underrate him, when Mayer's other guitarist is Pino blummin' Palladino, but LaBruyere is a killer bass player in his own right.
Sean Hurley is great too now that he plays when Pino isn't around
Mayer is always at his best in this setting. Pared back, raw, perfectly imperfect vocals. Any Given Thursday is still one of the best live albums to ever be produced. This sort of style. Still great in 2021.

i always forget that he used to sing like that.
It's 2019.. this is still great.
This man is unfathomably good at guitar.
woh i didn't know Jimmy Fallon plays bass
More like Chris Kattan imo
the bass makes this so much better not that it wouldn't be amazing already
This song is brilliant.
An underrated masterpiece.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to.
#Happy20thAnniversary
Wow he’s voice is beautiful exactly like the studio version
and come january we're frozen inside. making new resolutions a hundred times

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of the 15 year old video(as far as upload time)
Yeah. Most videos from this time look like they were chewed up, digested and shat out.
5 people would prefer to be alone at Christmas-time.
Beautiful. I love how he actually says Feb-RU-ary - so unique :)
''11 years ago'' God, i feel like i'm in a RUclips time machine. Nostalgia hits hard
12 now...

Great stuff! Complete with vintage Mayer face at 2:58 ;)
tele100 I just can't get enough of mayer's faces XD
how does he always manage to sound just as good if not better in his live performances
Amazing chord arrangement.. Still feels like that first time i heard it years ago
Can we make John Mayer
Spokesman to lobby to make St Patrick’s day A national holiday
For after all this is where it started right here in New York in 1762
And one more good reason there is no holidays in April and March so let’s lobby your Congress and senators to make it so
John Mayer ❤️☘️
Not only a great song, but also one of the early RUclips uploads!
He reminds me of Brandon Lee. Such beautiful music always. I treat his CD like its totally gold.
this song feels like home and love and nostalgia and my god its so fucking beautiful
never delete this please.
This is amazing quality for 17 years ago!
The perfect song for "Cuffin' Season". One of my favorites!
what is cuffin season, care to explain?:(
The John Mayer Trio was very successful, plus the cd rocked.
keep coming back to this
I really hope JM plays with David L again some day....this dude is the greatest bass player and compliments John
love the sound of just acoustic and bass...nothing else!
Saw him in concert many many moons ago. How he's grown.
Continuum didn’t exist when this video was uploaded...
bruuuh
It is 2021 ....and this this still fucking great
this song feels like a warm blanket on a snowy day
Been playing guitar for 9 years. Still can't get this song down. How is his thumb so long damn it. Haha
I just play the chords differently
Same notes but different fingers
Gave up on trying to match his thumbilities a long time ago
He has huge hands, the thumb is just proportional to them haha. Yeah, I play it slightly different, no way to replicate some of his shapes
Best song of his best album. Luckily there’s a great tutorial of this song on RUclips, or else I never learned to play this song. How he composed this... wow.
Uploaded over 10 years ago.. Wow
Almost 15 years ago now...

Conan is tall as hell..
I know that this is an 8-year old comment😅 but yeah he's massive. Being taller than Mayer is not a matter of joke.
Shoulda cast to save on CGI for ant man

Not entirely true. He always loved blues, but is also a massive pop listener/lover. If you’ve listened to enough interviews of him you will know that.
What a genius. Handsome too!
Love his talent!
So I just learnt to play the whole song. Problem is, my left hand got decapitated throughout the whole process.
i wish he was this age now...
sometimes this just hits different.
La época más feliz de mi vida ... la que se me fue pero quedan los recuerdos y el consuelo de habérselo dedicado a la persona correcta.
The highest rated tab on UG says this has 35 chords?!?!?
2021, still here..
Trying to play this song, hurt my finger so bad … but it worth🥲🥲
Wish he’d do a sequel album Room for Squares^2
We need context here! What's going on in this time period exactly for John to hit it off so hard with this? hahaha
Cameron Mayfield Christmas? Lol
Absolutely no one in the crowd knew how dirty those chords were.
Conan just dwarfed him when he waled up to him LOL! I love both of those guys immensely!
you're not the only one. I always see him as my personal guitar god and his voice is really good, studio or live it's always good no matter what.
A genius
Love that voice
I love this song
2:32 DeLa killed it😔👍
Oh I love this
DELA ON BASS!
Last safe day. 😬
Happy St. Pat's day, though.
Well, it's November... anyone looking for a serious relationship 'til say round about, March??
David "DeLa" LaBruyere is one of a kind though.. I always like the John/DeLa stripped performances. Wish JM would work with him again one day.
@rohan316 that bassist really knows how to play with john
Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You, enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue
Who knows what will be
But I'll make you this guarantee
No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
In the dark, on the phone
You tell me the names of your brothers
And your favorite colors
I'm learning you
And when it snows again
We'll take a walk outside
And search the sky
Like children do
No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
And come January, we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?
And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrrick's Day
We should take a ride tonight around the town
And look around at all the beautiful houses
Something in the way that blue lights on a black night
Can make you feel more
Everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be
Just like you and me
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
Come January, we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?
And if our always is all that we gave
And we someday take that away
I'll be alright, if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day
@Acomb420 I highly doubt it was a flop. It's more of a variation of the C#m chord. John does it a lot. :)
awesome bass
Lol!
2024 but I wanna go back
Song sounds like fall in New England. Still in heavy rotation
Soon 20 years. 🥃
hello i am from future. This still feeels great
What a chord 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Beautiful x100,000 000,000
Conan understands the talent up there
Still here in 2022 ☘
@Boss44221 That's right- didn't he play the Dave Matthews model?
Conan's height is no joke.
man, my gf asked me to play this for her bc is your fav song.......
i almost break my fingers trying :)
One of his best and most underrated songs, this is also one of the oldest videos on RUclips I think
Happy St. Patricks day John Mayer!!
@hiphopsucks96 He did play the Dave Matthews Model, but not in this video. I honestly don't know the type of Martin being played in this video.
its so freaken good...
I love John Mayer but early John used to sing wit a lil too much breathe in his voice
@themanwhocanfly
Okay your comment is three years old, but who knows if you will see this: go check Love Song For No One from his Any Given Thursday concert, he does a little more than nothing there

Great song. Poignant lyrics.
이 노래가 벌써 16년 전이냐 와
He didn't have a signature martin yet at this time.
