  • I think this is off the France or Indie version of "Room For Squares" or something. It's pretty good. The ending is unexpected though haha.

    This is by far the most complex song I’ve ever heard
    I cannot find a decent cover ...
    Only HE can go up and down with his voice in such a spectacular manner
    I didn’t know how good he was until I searched for 2,5 hours for a cover and failed to find one ...
    his voice here is unreal

    i got a 2 disk cd of "room for squares" from the local library, and the "acoustic" version on disk #2 was a little different. the drums & bass guitar were still there, but the electric guitar was replaced by the acoustic guitar. played the exact same tab, though.
    disk #2's tracklist was as such:
    1. epk. - an intimate session with john mayer
    2. back to you (acoustic)
    3. no such thing (acoustic)
    4. lenny (stevie ray vaughan cover) (live)
    5. the wind cries mary (jimi hendrix cover) (live)

      Dan Deleon thanks for your kind comments, I know the sound quality is not great that is because all the songs on this channel were recorded on an iPhone at live gigs / open mics. This is effected by the quality of the hosts equipment, the noises from the crowds and the limits of the iPhone recording ability,
      That does not make for brilliant recordings but it does show Josh’s ability to produce a watchable performance dispute the difficulties.
      Can I point you to Josh’s other UA-cam channel which is more dedicated to his home recordings and produce a better sound quality.

    Basically, the cliche is "its the least you could do", but he is playing with that cliche by making it explicit to the situation, since she didnt smile.
    So "the least you could not do" is the thing he wanted her to do: but she didnt do it.
    Make sense? :)
