John Mayer - Say
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2009
- Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all your so called problems
Better put 'em in quotations
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to saaaay...
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to saaay...
Have no fear
For giving in
Have no fear
For giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Then never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open... wide...
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to
Say what you need to
Say what you need to say...
will never understand why this dude gets so much hate.
writes his own music, plays multiple instruments, lyrics actually have meaning... im not seeing the problem
He plays a Martin instead of Taylor for one... Other than that i don't see anything wrong with him.
Carl geath what is wrong with using a Martin instead of a taylor?
Ham Leo Nothing. There's a reason some of the greatest guitarists of all time have used Martins. Not that Taylors are bad. But Martin is just better.
Wesley Nilsen I completely agree, as a martin player :)
I was just poking fun at him because I play a Taylor and think they are better.
As a cancer survivor 6 times and still fighting....It blows me away how these words hit home. His music is the only thing that has kept me going. I love you John! Thank you for being MY hero!!!!! JOHN MAYER = EPIC!!!!
You should take inspiration from Freddie mercury he didn’t have cancer but he had aids and even till the end he never gave up he was stil making music he could barely stand up his body was hurting he would show up to the studio really pale and skinny very sick and even like that his voice was stronger than a lot of high caliber singers listen to song by (Queen - the show must go on) he literally sang that song with so much power when he literally was dying and couldn’t stand he took a shot of vodka and went in and did it in one take there this song (Queen- mother love) Freddie only got to sing half of the song cause he was feeling too sick he said he would come back to finish it but he never did he passed away so Brian may the guitarist of queen had to finish the second half of the song kinda sad but yea Freddie mercury has reached the status of legendary rock god and to earn a title like that you need to be literally a rock god you need to be at the level of Elvis or John Lennon and Robert plant and jimmy page to be at that level of status is just something only a few can reach
Awesome statement..❤
This song had me in tears because my mom and I was singing this song. Now its been 2 years since she's gone. 😢 #RIPMama
❤
cool song
❤
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
I can listen to this song over and over. It's a timeless John Mayer classic!
The bucket list
Great movie
Great song to go with it
I agree...made me cry...
great movie.. agree! 'As something of an expert in diseases, I believe more people die from visitors than diseases.
Danny McMillan He wrote it specifically for the Bucket List. He read the script and asked to do a song for it.
OutstAnding Movie
the movie made me search for this song 😭
I've been listening to his songs from the very beginning,december 1st 2023 I'm still listening to his powerful songs..Guitar genius,Musically gifted ❤❤❤
I was listening to this song and learning it on ukulele. It was very funny as my 4 year old listened and said "well if someone keeps saying, over and over, "say what you need to say" then they won't leave time to allow the other person to actually say what they need to say!" That was pretty hilarious. Love this song.
And next in the list of things that never happened
Perhaps the most gifted artist alive today.
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Profound lyrics. He must see a psychotherapist.
Favorite part " walking like a one man army" :) makes me feel i can do anything!
Alvin Manliguez same!✋
Alvin Manliguez Hell yeah! This part gave me the chills of my life :D
Brock Lesnar Rage Kid!
Same
Yeah, but the point was walking like a one man army fighting the shadows in your head isn't a good thing.
While our father was dying last week, I quoted these lyrics to my brothers and sister, hoping they could say what they needed to say to him before they had any regrets. Saw John in concert last night and although he didn't sing this, I thanked him for his words. My wish for everyone...
“Say” is a great song!!! ❤️🩹 John Mayer.
It's crazy how fast life comes and goes just seems like the other day we were all kids. Beautiful song say it as soon as you can
Nudity=0
Violence=0
A song from the heart=100
TheGoldenConnorific
So true!! Wow
TheGoldenConnorific ii
TheGoldenConnorific well said.....toast for that
Amen...
“Nudity=0”, yeah because all the women are outside the studio where this is being filmed.
this song is underrated tbh its a great song which no one has really heard of
+Ashton Box with 9m views?!
Yeah most songs has about 25 million to it
its because this song was before yutube i think and so it was all on itunes spotify and soundcloud probably why it has not as much
it was a hugely popular song in 2007/2008. It was on a huge feature film soundtrack, its his highest charting song, got him his FOURTH grammy, appeared in several other movies and tv shows, and I assure you... is not "under rated", nor is it "unheard of".
unknown to YOU maybe. the song was a big hit when it came out
I am Japanese.
This song gave me the courage to move forward.
I love this song it makes me think of my sister that passed away right around when this song came out... Say what you need to say cause you might not get another chance.
Any one after all this long years?
Love life stay healthy everybody❤❤
I wish John Mayer would get back to making music like this and the kind that's on Continuum.
YES
+Ethan Wells He is going to :D his next album will resemble Continuummmmmmm
For real!
Yes!!
Ethan Wells amen brother
John Mayer always calms me down I love listening to him
i'm here for the bucket list 😢
great song, great movie
Just finished the movie. Reminded me of Intouchables.
which movie is it?
Karete Kid, bons tempos. ♥♥
Somehow, this song became very relevant to where JM is at at the moment. This is my turning 30 song. When you think of it, this could have easily been a Born and Raised or Paradise Valley track. Sending out good vibes to all JM fans out there.
This song helped me say what I really feel for one person. Thank you, John, I simply love your songs.
John Mayer was approached by the Martin Guitar Co. to approve the design of a signature series limited edition. Only 100 were made. It's the highest honor any guitar player can be given.
This song leaves me in tears every single time. This song has given me the courage to literally say what I needed to say. Thank you sir!❤
You can instantly tell this is a mid-2000's music video.
240p :D
Don Pasquale loool yes
240p, blue sky shot, white guy w/black spiky hair and a guitar.............yep 2006-07 written all over it :D
Soon 2000s music is gonna become the new 90s if U Know What Im Saying
Lil John not necessarily some 90s music is as good as this you just have to look in the right places
This song reminds me of my dad. Rest In Peace. You were my best friend.
Glee reminded me of this great song. I remember listening to this years ago. Still means so much now. Thumbs up if you think John Mayer is a genius! Amazing songwriter. Simple and meaningful.
SAY what you want about this man and his reputation but you can't deny that he's a musical genius. This song still still lives rent free in my head and its been more than a decade!
The best song, I ever listened to since I watched the Bucket List at age 9 when I brought the movie on DVD.
this is the best song I've heard in my existence
Magic songwriter, singer and guitar player. I didn't see anything like this in the last ten years!!!
I’m noticing a theme of passion and purpose among these “hated” artists. John Mayer. Nickelback. They all put a lot of emotion and feeling into their music.
Shoutout to all the people with social anxiety 🙏🤝 this song resonates
This song has given me the courage to tell two people exactly how I feel about them. One of them I broke their heart, and other I told them I wanted them in my life.
One of the best ever written songs, this inspires me to speak up for what I believe. Thanks to John for his amazing music!
"Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken,
Even as the eyes are closing,
Do it with a heart wide open"
Reminds me of "walk by faith, not by sight" in a way :) (which is something I need to hear quite often). Freakin' love John Mayer.
I like this because it can help me with the bullies at school
No it cant.
Never Gonna Give You Up Performed by: Rick Astley, Beautiful Performed by: Christina Aguilera, etc. R good choices to help stop bullying. I was bullied once and it wasn't pretty. Jack's right about it.
I like this song. It's very relaxing to me.
My class is singing this for our poetry, and I cried because I never got to say goodbye to my grandmother when she passed
I Love how your music resonates in my soul its so warm and good flowing through me...its so euphoric ...i always come back for that ...
How does he make such awesome music!? one of the best singers & song writer!!
This song reminds me of my mom who passed away in 2009 from cancer.We were close and this song reminds me of her everytime i hear it.
I hope you've found your way
My sister and I never really had a good relationship, and she moved out to college yesterday, and all these years I never said to her that I love her. Yesterday on the car ride to Texas A&M I listened to this song the whole time, and realized, I need to say what I need to say before it's to late. I said it with a lot of difficulty, and It was one of the most refreshening feelings that I've ever had. If you need to say something to someone, just say what you need to say.
whatsupwithgaming hows life treating you has it gotten better after 6 years?
I remember when he came to Australia like 20 years ago,he is a great singer and song writer
John I watched your interview on 20/20 about Prince and you were great! You're one of the best guitarist ever and thank you for giving the world great music!
A couple of years ago, I was going through I could say the worst time of my life. I was depressed and broken. Listening to this song kinda help me open up about my issues to my parents and just in general. Also, it just helped get me through most of the crap I was dealing with.
Tracey Banda "fantastic keep moving all the Way Up, we only have 1 x 2 do it good this thing called Life . I Love U " Smile
Tracey Banda me know what works you up on
this was my jam when i was 10 yrs old, i still love it :)
Is there anyone as an "Artist" still alive, other than John Mayer ?? . . He's lyrics, his music, his guitar . . its real art. Every word of the lyrics are so inspiring and something to relate to . . you take Slow Dancing in burning room, Waiting on the world to change, Clarity, Belief, 83, Born and Raised, Half of my heart . .well this list will not end till he is writing. . He is serving music and we should judge him only by his music . .which is fucking fantastic and nobody else can even think of touching him in that. Nobody!!
First heard this on Karate Kid (2010)
love john mayer's unique voice and love this the bucket list song
Damn I love this song!!
My favorite ! Can keep all your problems bottled up.People should speak them out !
am i the only one that thinks about life when i hear this song ?
You are great! :)
Chris nik no you're not the only one
Chris nik nope you’re not alone on that one
No
that was the intention of the song!!
The Bucket List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes :-)
Double Yes! : )
The bucket list. You got to watch the movie its about a very close person to my Heart that die of colen cancer and we watch this movie together. .and we both said Say what you need to Say .And everytime I hear this song I think of him .before he died he asked me Say what you need to Say💔it brakes my Heart may you R.I.P

Sorry for your loss, going to watch it, a friend of mine just beat the same disease and went through a very extensive surgery to survive it.
+Janet W happy for you mam
+Joshua Shepard Thanks son. - Mam
Great song reminds me of my Father.
This is a great theme for standing up for yourself. In life speaking up for myself isn't easy but we must to not let people run over us.
This song used to annoy me with the repetitious "Say what you need to say" over and over... That was until I listened to the rest of the song - actually listened to it. I am literally blown away! What a powerful message! I can tell it has brought strength and hope to many, many lost souls. Thank you JM for giving the world such an inspirational song. Huh - never judge a book by its cover; never judge a song by its chorus... Another life lesson learned...
this makes me chill as fuck
Chris nik your chill as a cucumber bro
this song reminds me all the reasons i loved john mayer for...huge crush!
This song really has helped make me think about what I do, how I treat people, what I say. Who I am. And I want to thank John Mayer for this song. Thank you for helping me be a better person. Thank you.
november 2016 and I still like this song
Iisa Chacha Nov 2017
when i'm on going on a trip while listening this , i can't describe the feeling but just that it's awesome that's all i can say ..
it's even better when you're looking at a view far away ! :)
I know the feeling. I used to listen to this song every time I was travelling :)
hahah this is the first song I always play every time I'm on a trip lol :D
Qwerty
And pretending your in a music video.... Fuck Yea Ik the feeling
I'm a guitar teacher, and my student (who is 14) wanted to learn this song because of much it affected him on Glee.
Stop hating on the show guys, it's giving kids a chance to hear new & old music & seek out new artists for them to listen to & inspire them.
Love the Glee version! Love the original!
Taken me a long time to learn this truth. This last year speaking my truth has blessed and strengthened me immensely.
I hope people take this to heart and realize how important it is to speak the truth.
But to do it in a kind and empathetic manner as much as possible.
Please don’t let anyone push you around and silence you...
Silence kills....
this man every time he sings he makes wanna get kissed all my body, he so good.
The bucket list!
I liked the movie it's been years that I can't recall detail things but I remember feeling comfortable watching this film.
Thats why I love this song, too.
Boem NamGung
This song was a pleasant surprise at the end of the movie :-)
+hello jane why you guys saying bucket list? is this for karate kid? lol ive been to china
"Say speaks 2 ❤ wide open, it's a profound message 4 every 1 who loves life, ones self and somebody. realizing u only have so much time 2 Say Something."

John Mayer is the most genius musical artist ever. He interpets life beautifully and translates it to musical artful masterpieces like this one that we can all relate to. I love it. Love him

I love almost every genre of music. The overall concept has gotten me out of some dark places. While many things change in the world of music, one thing remains the same: John Mayer ALWAYS has a song to cheer me up.
I love this song! :3 John Mayer has an awesome voice!
I just love him. Love this song its so true.

san amilasan Felt the need to look into his music after hearing Battle Studies, and heard this song, one of my favourites!
This song put me and tears for some reason but I love it Say ...
I SAY that music speaks the writer's heart. ❤️
This is the song my grandma and grandpa had.... when they were sitting together... but they passed away😭
one day my mom will say Leo john mayer is AWESOME
His voice is so BEAUTIFUL! It doesn't matter what song he is singing, he always sounds amazing. His voice has so much emotion in it and it really is breathtaking. I could listen to his voice 24/7....
Words to live by from the one and only John Mayer. One of his best songs ever!
