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.
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.
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. 🔥
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. 👌
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
Best song of his best album. Luckily there’s a great tutorial of this song on UA-cam, or else I never learned to play this song. How he composed this... wow.
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 ❤️☘️
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?

@@12xenn45 The strumming part is easy, the hard thing is to build those chords and pluck them out correctly

@@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
i always forget that he used to sing like that.
It's 2019.. this is still great.
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.
woh i didn't know Jimmy Fallon plays bass
More like Chris Kattan imo
This man is unfathomably good at guitar.
Wow he’s voice is beautiful exactly like the studio version
This song is brilliant.
An underrated masterpiece.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to.
#Happy20thAnniversary
the bass makes this so much better not that it wouldn't be amazing already
5 people would prefer to be alone at Christmas-time.
Great stuff! Complete with vintage Mayer face at 2:58 ;)
tele100 I just can't get enough of mayer's faces XD

He reminds me of Brandon Lee. Such beautiful music always. I treat his CD like its totally gold.
Beautiful. I love how he actually says Feb-RU-ary - so unique :)

The John Mayer Trio was very successful, plus the cd rocked.
Not only a great song, but also one of the early UA-cam uploads!
keep coming back to this
love the sound of just acoustic and bass...nothing else!
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.
how does he always manage to sound just as good if not better in his live performances
It is 2021 ....and this this still fucking great
this song feels like home and love and nostalgia and my god its so fucking beautiful
The perfect song for "Cuffin' Season". One of my favorites!
what is cuffin season, care to explain?:(
Amazing chord arrangement.. Still feels like that first time i heard it years ago
I really hope JM plays with David L again some day....this dude is the greatest bass player and compliments John
Saw him in concert many many moons ago. How he's grown.
this song feels like a warm blanket on a snowy day
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
and come january we're frozen inside. making new resolutions a hundred times
Love that voice
This is amazing quality for 17 years ago!
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.
Best song of his best album. Luckily there’s a great tutorial of this song on UA-cam, or else I never learned to play this song. How he composed this... wow.
I love this song
Continuum didn’t exist when this video was uploaded...

John is mayer is freakin good, david labruyere too, both are incredible
its so freaken good...
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.
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
Beautiful x100,000 000,000
Hahah I love how they need a 8x10 bass cabinet to play a duo with an acoustic guitar...
A genius
i wish he was this age now...
Last safe day. 😬
Happy St. Pat's day, though.
Soon 20 years. 🥃
sometimes this just hits different.
Wish he’d do a sequel album Room for Squares^2
DELA ON BASS!
I love how Conan goes to stand rite infront of the bassist completley blocking out clay hahahaha
that's Dave lol
@@DeusEx328 The great Dela
Happy St. Patricks day John Mayer!!
de la!!!
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
What a chord 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
@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!
@rohan316 that bassist really knows how to play with john
chillin
2021 anyone?
❤

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.
Conan understands the talent up there
Trying to play this song, hurt my finger so bad … but it worth🥲🥲
Still here in 2022 ☘

이 노래가 벌써 16년 전이냐 와
hello i am from future. This still feeels great
The highest rated tab on UG says this has 35 chords?!?!?
man, my gf asked me to play this for her bc is your fav song.......
i almost break my fingers trying :)
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.
Damm.
@Boss44221 That's right- didn't he play the Dave Matthews model?
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
omjm i think. he's signature martin.
Whoa. DeLa with short hair.
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
Well, it's November... anyone looking for a serious relationship 'til say round about, March??
@Acomb420 He's just adding a tension on the top string that you aren't used to.
Couldn’t find the original comment. Do you remember? (I’m just curious lol)
So I just learnt to play the whole song. Problem is, my left hand got decapitated throughout the whole process.
LOL
어떻게 안넘어가😂 무조건 사귀자❤
sometimes i do miss the old rough/breathy voice (like this vid.) on battle studies its fading away (it does mean his voice improves)
One of his best and most underrated songs, this is also one of the oldest videos on UA-cam I think
2020?
