Lyrics
Shoulda been open
Shoulda done more
Shoulda learned a lesson from the year before
Shoulda been honest
Shoulda just cried
Shoulda told me there was nothing left inside
Now the road keeps rollin on forever
And the years keep pulling us apart
We lost something, I still wonder what it was
It shouldn’t matter
Shouldn’t matter, but it does
You shoulda just broken
You shoulda come clean
You shoulda been sad instead of being so fuckin mean
It shouldn’t be easy
But it shouldn’t be hard
You shouldn’t be a stranger in your own backyard
Now the road keeps rollin on forever
And the years keep pulling us apart
I know it’s over, I’m just sayin this because
It shouldn’t matter
Shouldn’t matter, but it does
I shouldn’t be angry
I shouldn’t hold on
I shouldn’t leave you messages in every little song
It could have been always
It could have been me
We could have been busy naming baby number three
Now the road keeps rollin on forever
And the years keep pulling us apart
If it’s on someone then I blame the both of us
It shouldn’t matter
Shouldn’t matter, but it
Shouldn’t matter
Shouldn’t matter, but it
Shouldn’t matter
Shouldn’t matter, but it does
#JohnMayer #SobRock #ShouldntMatterButItDoes
Wish I had more friends that are JM fans. Dude is so undervalued these days
Ohmygod yes!
@@samriddhijaiswal8974 me too but I have all of you🥰
@@Ron-xs1uy he’s not
We are millions who love him and that’s the right era
He revived Dead & co made millions more fans so he doesn’t need an era
His genius is timeless
I say the same thing all the time,he's so good,I also do music with little subscribers,if you have some free time, check it out
I'm the only one of my friends as well. Oddly enough, my nephew (19) and my daughter's best friend (14) are huge JM fans... but I'm 41. 😂 That's okay. I'm going to the concert by myself so I can have the full experience uninterrupted.
I was waiting for him to shred a blistering guitar solo. He didn’t. It shouldn’t matter but it does.
Yes, but waiting for live show version...
Guitar riffs are amazing, just this his different for him. Love it ❤️
Ha! Great comment! What I like about this song is that even I can play it. A few songs like that and you stay as relevant as Dylan.
bro his guitar skill doesn't need to be shown by doing the astonishing solo 😭. The smooth strumming made me wanna cry
He couldn’t because it’s technically not a « live » version. He’s singing over the recording music.
No one, NO-ONE, communicates the simultaneous feelings of nostalgia, melancholy, guilt, regret, and a sliver of hopefulness like Mr. Mayer does. Once in a lifetime artist and poet.
Jackson browne
Ohh yess I agree with you hundred per cent !! His voice and his playing guitare are just insane ! All his songs are masterpieces...
@Zachary Cramer Dylan is great, but... no. Not like Mayer.
REALLY well put!!!
Once in a generation talent for sure. Saw him in Cleveland on his solo tour this past weekend. I swear he is the most talented human on earth. At points forgot he didnt have a band he has such a presence.
This is the kind of song you can only write after you've been through some things.
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
JM is the real deal. Been listening to him for almost two decades. His music is my companion when I'm hiking.
For sure.
Where do you hike? id love to stalk you 👀
Same here. I remember the first time I saw JM was on SNL. I ran out the next day and bought Room for Squares and have been hooked every since.
The perfect companion on any walk or hike
Thanks dear 😘😘😘❤️🤗
His Voice is literally smooth like I can't believe it's not butter.
🧈
I feel it improved a lot after his surgery
Its not!!?
I can tell the difference between his Voice and butter
@@agdolany1094 q+
The whole sob rock album hits different I found myself listening to it every late night.
No kidding. Every time I get in the car my phone connects to Bluetooth and automatically starts playing it
Dude me too hahah
Really like his new album. It’s got a much more mature feel to it!!
@@Pricegun Nice! 👌
Me too!!! Over and over again even when four songs had already been released.
"You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard" just broke into my heart!
Most of these lyrics are so sad. Many of us have felt like this in the past.
@@TicketyBooDuo the idea of this whole album is to make you feel the same even if you have or haven't. It's a sad, lovely truth.
@@akshatrupapara6580 yeah definitely! We’ve all mostly experienced some loss or hard break ups and you feel what he’s singing. To be able to do that to a person with your music is just amazing! 🙏🏻
He's so good ,my biggest inspiration,I also do music with little subscribers,if you have some free time, check it out
Can someone please explain this line? English is not my first language
He gives you deep feelings with simple words, that’s what makes John the greatest.
Yessssss!!!❤
Exactlyyyyyyy!
Love🚀
I thought it was combination of crazy guitar skills and solid compositions.
❤❤❤
"We could've been busy naming baby number three"
Oh Man 😭😭💓
Yeah man! That lyric really hits a nerve. Amazing musician!
Mere saath karlo
Bhai😄
I always wonder who the song is about or at least inspired by!
@@TheKmeins yeah it’s got to be someone hasn’t it. That doesn’t just come without going through the experience. Surely!
Man is writing this golden lines in his forties! Imagine whats waitin ahead!
It’s beyond any of our imaginations. He’s quite the come back kid.
Not a continuum album but whatever
@@martinrueda93 he put 3 of his former released song in this album lol
@@rebeccajacobs8199 he never went anywhere
@@spandansengupta1087 I must have been projecting 😉😇💟
The “oooooo…” at the ending is so beautiful. I could listen to a full song with just that.
It makes me feel some type of way. Can’t describe it
He does one like that in one of the live renditions of “I guess I just feel like” towards the end. Gorgeous.
you have: Dear Marie
His song, In Your Atmosphere, is probably the closest thing to that 🤭😅 he really goes off. (Where The Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles)
@@viniciusguedes6443 looking for this comment
If this song isn’t playing at my funeral, im not coming
Haha
Me too!
It shouldn't matter.
@@roberto3262 but it does...
@@IshanPandit obviously to Tyler it does. Lol
Most trending song in my cafe and my customer r enjoying a lot..
Really ?
And how’s the reaction of people out there in your cafe ?
what other songs are on there?
This is so cute! Wishing you the best business!
Can I go to your café
Que lástima vivo en Cancún sino iba a tomarme un café.. soy una adicta al café 🍰🍩 Perdón era café verdad? 😅☕
He's been singing about heartbreak since he was 23 😔
I know, it makes me sad. But he said in a recent interview it's about implanting false memories. He literally writes the same sad songs in a million different ways.
Not really.
@@katMFpugs If singing about a broken heart sell, why he shouldnt sing songs about a broken heart?
Everybody sings about heartbreak since always. It's one of the most common inspiration for writers, if not THE most. And John does it beautifully.
@@dannochoa2 who said anything about it not being good or worth writing about. John writes sad songs. It's a fact. And he does it beautifully.
John Mayer gets better and better as the years go by. I don’t think his music will ever get better than continuum. But everything else just keeps improving. His voice is better than ever, his hair has that continuum era look again and he seems genuinely happy with where his life is right now.
We love you John. Never leave us.
#gayerformayer
Same bro I wish he would do another continuum type album a this point of his career
So gayyyy
#gayerformayer
Gay af for Mayer
@@derricksondw actually bisexual. But yeah. Super gay.
Kinda interesting to me that despite how many girls John has dated, you can tell he's still longing for the love that'll tame his heart
I'm right here... he just hasn't met me yet 🤣😍
I love ‘Waitin’ on the Day’ for the same vibe.
Right? He looks like hes missing something or has regret of losing one.
@James B. McGill Sense a lot of jealousy in you.
@@Echolyris212 Katy
John’s music is gonna reunite this world.
How?
Yea because everyone’s gonna fall asleep to it
@@craigm2520 there's a reason it's called Sob Rock and not Yayy I'm so excited I wanna do Coke and dance all night rock
Hasn’t it already been doing so for almost a couple decades now?
Is he gonna make is talk to aliens? Cool!!!😁
Just purchased my FIRST ever front-row concert ticket, to see John in Tampa, FL in April!! Can’t wait to be at his feet singing these songs back to him 🥺 The line, “we coulda been busy naming baby number three” hits me every time. I truly hope one day he finds the right one. After writing so many kick-ass love songs for everyone else to fall in love to, he deserves his own.❤️
How much was your ticket if you don’t mind me asking I’m thinking of doing the same
Im also going to Tampa to watch him :-) looking forward to it
@@guitarware A front-row “Wild Blue Package” ticket was $1,000. But I’m afraid all front-row tickets sold out within minutes
:( There are still plenty of other seats available in the arena from $40-$400!
I think ur so excited that u announced this in every Mayers song releasd today😆😆
@@graciekinsey2735 thank you I’m looking at Dallas, glad you’re able to get in in Tampa!
My girlfriend broke up with me yesterday, it were wonderful 7 years, but I guess "there was nothing left inside"
I'm sorry for u, I hope you recover, because the pain is insane. I wish you the best vibes.
Everything will be okay. Find yourself. Again and again. I hope you find love in you and in life again
@@katy55225 the pain is insane love stab you in the heart better off without it so you wouldn't be crushed
Were they wonderful for her too?
@@lynn1464 I fully agree, life can be sweet with love, but without love, it can be a more rational way to live life without weaknesses.
This reminds me of good old days that never gonna come back. Just cherish every moment in the past & live with memories in future. Never turn back.
So true, couldn't have said it better,he's so inspiring,I also do music with little subscribers,if you have some free time, check it out
This is my favorite so far. No doubt that will change tomorrow though.
Like your honesty !
Same but today it is why you no love me. 😉
I'm loving wild blue
@@daniellemederos4115 Wild blue is my current favorite too.
so many great sounding tracks on Sob Rock
John your voice is so calming. Sob Rock hits deep within. What a masterpiece
Agree😊
I hope he'll come to India bro
@@sakshi1657 he should. everyone would go bonkers
Man I just wish I could hug john for an hour and sob and weep about how he's the only one who has seen me in the true colours of all my emotions, he's the one who was there with me at my lowest, and he's the one who's been with me at my best. Imo John mayer is a beautiful gift to me and all the other people who were really happy and content with their life once, but some nasty things have made them the socially awkward introverts that don't have any friends/ supportive family.
He won't be able to feel how a lot of us have healed by just his music and his personality to have that drive even after 20 years into his career. I don't think we even deserve him, but he surely deserves all these long paragraphs by millions of fans who have been lucky enough to have a stranger's music as their only light to move forward. This is for you john, a heartfelt message by a teenager that's crying into their pillow with this song playing in their headphones ❤️🌊
You just spoke for me buddy
This is beautiful ❤️ Good work 🙏
I think he feels very deeply and that’s why he devotes his life to making music for us
Mayer is a good guitar player w/o a doubt but what I've heard of Sad Sack Rock it's mediocre chick music. AM radio shit. Next! Somebody tell the emperor he has no clothes.
@@soda1yes uh huh
We luv him solo or dead and co
He s the man
John has mellowed so much that he uses bar chords instead of his giant thumb
uhh he was clearly using his thumb lol
@@davevebber9082 But he never used a bar chord before
@@user-dx7do4vg1k yes he has. there are some chords like paper doll he uses his thumb for a string. but look at clarity. he’s playing barre chords. granted there minor 7 chords but he plays barre chords i don’t think he’s ever played a d minor at 5th string with his thimb
specifically the full E shape barre chord yeah. Rarely, if ever, seen him do that
"I shouldn't leave you messages in every little song" 💔😭 John is each and every one of us
I deeply appreciate you for you for being a fan. It gives me so much joy that I am able to put smiles on the faces and heart of many.🥰🌹
Does anybody else feel nostalgia, thoughts of a past love and a sense of heartache when you hear this song? Nearly everyone can be transported back to that time in their mind thanks to this song and that right there ladies and gentlemen is the power of music. It’s a musical tapestry that creates timestamps of our lives whether it be happy or sad. That is one of the main reasons we play and LOVE music. Peace and prosperity to you all ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely yes.
"We could have been busy naming baby number three", ouch.
I know, right? Probably the most heartbreaking line in the entire album. So absolutely brilliant.
best lyric on the album
Yeah I instantly got that lump in my throat.
😭💔
Pure cheese!
John just (strumming) with his guitar boosts my confidence a lil 😂
when it happens he almost seems human
If after listening to SOB Rock you know who JM is. John, I wanted till 39 till the right one came along. I couldn't compromise with my soul. 32 years this week. It'll come so unexpectedly. I promise.
Here was me hoping 'Drone shot of my yacht' was gonna be on the album :c
Same with ravioli shoes 😔
😂😂😂
Best one..
😂😂😂😂😂
Me too! That one or CVS bag. Bit disappointed though 😜🤣
This song was a bit too sad for me at first, but like all Mayer's music, after a few listens it has really gotten through my exterior and is now a part of my subconscious. His music is so deep it trips me out
oh man, I'm with u!!
Yes - it got so 'subconscious' for me that I started singing "could've been busy making baby number three"
(oop a Freudian slip)
I don't understand how he makes such simple lyrics CUT SO DEEP. He's proof that you don't need excess if the talent speaks for itself.
Sob Rock ladies and gents. All bangers? Yes please
This song just breaks my heart. It's so full of sadness and regret over losing the love of his life. I sincerely hope they somehow find each other again someday or at the very least, that John finds the one woman who is his true love.
God Bless All The Detroit Teams In The Whole Wide World Of Sports In🇨🇦🇺🇸The🇨🇦🇺🇸United🇨🇦🇺🇸States🇨🇦🇺🇸Of🇨🇦🇺🇸America🇨🇦🇺🇸.
from this song we can see that John's heartache must be very painful
These songs aren’t about himself
@@noahmcdaniel4920 that's why I said "this song"
@@itsmeacorn6645 Still doesn't make sense. xD
@@noahmcdaniel4920 i really doubt that. John's been pretty open about his desire to find love in the past.
@@NicStride that guy said these songs means that all of the new album, which I was saying is that this song not the entire album, you get it now?
While the rest of us are sitting on our asses through covid, this guy comes out with an entire record......and every song on it, is pure gold.
I deeply appreciate you for you for being a fan. It gives me so much joy that I am able to put smiles on the faces and heart of many.🤗💝
I'm used to be a fan, but after listen to this masterpiece I'm a whole air conditioner
3:29 Rare footage of John Mayer struggling with a chord 😮
Refreshing though. Would be fine with more human mistakes. Connects you to the artist more.
That’s nothing…… I can do the whole song like that.
we see him struggling but we don't hear it. It seems to me like he is playbacking the guitar part. The very first chord he is seen playing can never sound like that.
think the vid might be playback
Nahhh, just hit the wrong fret ;) And yes, he's prerecorded - his solos and fills don't quiiiite match in Train and Light . TO BE CLEAR: so what. John Mayer is like so many greats in that he's somecrazyfuckinghow UNDERrated. I got zero qualms with prerecorded. I mean, it ain't like dude didn't do it on the album.
Not only is Sob Rock the greatest name for an album, but this body of work is amazing. John's music grows as he does and I for one am so grateful to be alive to be following his journey in real time.
I think, Mr Mayer, you may have just created a new musical genre, Sob Rock.
Some people can't stand the album or the title. I think he's a genius. Even if you took him off the album and solely looked at the session musicians and musicians he took on tour with him, it's obvious how musically intelligent he is. Otherwise none of those legends would have agreed to be a part of it all.
The equalization of this live version is awesome. Congratulations to the sound engineer
Yahhhh
A man who is born to make great music.
My idol . John Mayer
Greetings from Poland, Europe. Love your music.
Love the studio version of this song but there's really something special when everytime he plays this live. That melody on the ending always gets me. damn John so smooth!
"We could have been busy naming baby number three" this was SO heartbreaking... love it
I had 2 holes in my heart when I was born and the doctor told my parents that they couldn't take me anywhere or I would get sick but they didn't listen to him and still took me to church safely and I was healed with no surgery or anything needed now I'm 14 years old and worship and praise God every day❤
I feel like John has been stalking me in the last 7 years of my life and then wrote a song about it. Bravo.
@Crystal Larson Hello thanks for your comment and support much love
Some parts also sounds like All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye....and I love it
John’s songs always remind me of endlessly driving through a country side especially his acoustic songs 🖤
I didn’t start off liking John Mayer but his sheer talent has won me over. He now is one of my favorite artists of all time. When he and another friend drove Bob Saget’s car home from Florida I knew that this guy was a genuine article. Who cares what ex-girlfriends say about him, this man is the real deal but above all else he is true talent and I praise him for both his talent and his attributes. Rock on John!
A whole life loving and being saved by this man... 💛
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
John Mayer is a legend ❤️
Classic John Song💖
John, your songs give me an incredible peaceful vibe. Whenever I listen to you it's as if I go to another dimension, far from problems and reality. Thank you for this and for your impeccable work.❤❤❤
'Perfection' is the perfect word for your perfection
John Mayer's music has helped me through my dark days for years. Sob Rock is my fave thus far! thanks for the music, John!:)
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
My goodness. This song just came out, but it perfectly embodies how I've felt in my marriage for years. Perhaps how centrally this song hits the bullseye is a product of shared human experience. Or perhaps he can read thoughts.
Now the road keeps rolling on forever and the years keeps pulling us apart 😢.
If it shouldn't be best, it's always been repeating.
Orlando Bloom could never write a song as beautiful as this.
because he's an actor not songwriter duh
This made me giggle.
Perhaps, but you can’t say the same thing about Will Ferrell.
"It shouldn't matter.....but it does"🔥🔥🔥
Thanks John you made me cry. Love you anyway ❤️
Thank you so much for making me happy, it's a pleasure to meet you, you can send me a message on my private email.💕💞

Hello beautiful 🌹, thanks for your support,I would love to have a good and decent conservation with you, so I ask for a meeting point via hangout email or cell phone number on WhatsApp for constant communication okay
l agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of
beautiful days. d gives you lot of beautiful days.
"We should have been busy naming baby number 3"...tears in my eyes. Wow.
So much in love with this song🥺💜☄️

Johnmayor252530@gmail.com
Just went through a breakup and this song is exactly what I'm feeling right now
Yeah me too.. I'm empty and numb most of the time but this song really helps me feel all of it.
@@menamgamg @jayson6freak hang in there, it'll get better over time. John's got your back
@@gregorslavin Thank you :) It does get better with time.. It has been like 1,5 year almost at this point tho and it's still a struggle. But we were together for 12 years and pretty much grew up together and were unseparable so i guess i just need a lot of time.
So good John! Pls come to Atlanta
He’s coming to Atlanta May 28th this summer!
He has dreamy eyes that I can get lost in for days... and that voice
This guy with a guitar.. best sight ever!
The old school artists are hard to find these days...the feelings he puts in his songs is something beyond explanation.
And his voice gets through your soul.❤
This is one of the more beautiful
John Mayer songs. Outstanding 🙌🏼
I can listen to for hundred times whenever John plays G#m chord. It is soothing.
That's where this song turns into genius
god i wish i could see you perform live
I like this song. Something new for John
Really? I feel like he's done similar things before, but he did them better than on this track
@@whyisntitpossible404 Idk this just gives me kinda different vibes. In my opinion its not the same vibe as slow dacing or gravity.
Shouldn't matter...but it does...and it always will...❤❤❤❤❤
His voice sounds like the studio version here, so controlled
I do miss the continuum era but I vibe with this so much too, I doubt he’ll ever make a song like Gravity again but hey, life keeps going on forever
1:52 The backup singers are amazing here. Love the harmonies.
I listened to John Mayer so much that I literally dream that were friends. Thanks John for helping me be a better friend and learning to not make mistakes. My stupid mouth is like the story of my life of course leading to Battle Studies. Huge respect. Stay alive please and live long. If you pass I'd have another 20 years of listening to your albums almost everyday. Like Alexa!!! Play JOHN MAYER RIGHT NOW. She's like... Again!?
Damm, that acoustic guitar sounds so warm.
Absolutely. That Martin guitar is awesome.
@@LostPlectrum would like to try one someday
@@albinhelen514 I am sure John's ones are kinda special though!
@@LostPlectrum yeah, probably!
Best song on the album
‘We could have been busy making baby number three,’ - heartbreaking!
He's pretty much the quintessential song writer of the modern day, plus he rips the shit out of the guitar, acoustic or electric....🖖🤙
I deeply appreciate you for you for being a fan. It gives me so much joy that I am able to put smiles on the faces and heart of many.💖💐
This and “dreaming with a broken heart” are just exquisite vibes like wow
Cada música mais linda que a outra, vem pro Brasil logo! 🇧🇷
Siiiim!!!
Ele está pra vim gente? Pensei isso ontem!🤩
Love the song from the first time. 🥰
I love u John Mayer
John Mayer the BEST ( Salerno - Italy)
Makes me cry everytime.... ❤️ this lyrical genius

I love him and his voice and his songs.
Mayer and Stapleton hands down are the best of our generation. They don't write albums, they write soundtracks for our life
#The guy Simply has a Great Voice....
Totally soothing , sits perfectly on top of his rhythm guitar, and the bands keyboards.
Not to mention his World Leading - Lead Guitar Technique 🎸
The Ladies love him also! 😁 🤳 👍
Might be my favourite song from the Album. He is a master musician/songwriter. Vintage JM 🙏
He can’t be that good. Imposible not to travel with this melody and lyrics. You r the best John
The. Lyrics. In. His. Songs. Can. Reach. Out. To. You
So. Emotional. And. Have. Such. True. Meaning. A. Gifted. Artist. Will always. Listen. To. His. Music.
Hello Susan..
This song and ‘I guess I just feel like’ are the best ones on this album. I feel like this is John’s best album
This is my favorite from his new album 100%. So freaking good....
Nice
I am never disappointed..with every song I sing of his..just touches my soul!!!
@John Mayer ...Well now..this is a pleasant surprise and totally unexpected...I believe the right responds would be a truly appreciative thank u😊.
