    "She'll fight for you like hell, then force herself to like some other man." What a fuck me up line man. John always knows how to hit you right in the feels. I can relate so much.

      @@olivierlanglet1932 after a really heartbroken break up, some girls force herself to be with someone new. (Like my ex-gf)
      I think this line is something John used to tell himself. It hurts seeing our lover with someone new so fast.
      He used this line as a calmer for him. She's with someone new, but she still loves you

      Too relatable from the female side too. Sometimes we’re treated so badly or pushed away, it’s the only way out for us. Moving away and cutting our hair is the same thing too. Just trying to survive…

      Every line in this song is a killer. This album came out a few months after I got out of a 5 year relationship, this fucked me up... Big time. I can only listen to it now, powerful song.

  • @leonheartilly92
    @leonheartilly92 6 років тому +103

    It's crazy how this song perfectly describes the agony of someone who actually did the leaving. My ex left me, and I know he was hurting as well. My ex listens to John Mayer, and this album used to be what linked us together.
    To someone from the past, it's never the day you leave that you realize what you have lost. It's the day when you realize, I'm no longer real but just a ghost in your memory. I hope you feel this way about me when you listen to this song. 😊

  • @jessicawong6871
    @jessicawong6871 7 років тому +55

    I recently experienced my very first true heartbreak. I can't even believe I thought I knew what love was before that. Heartbreak is absolutely awful, and you're always looking for something, anything that can help to heal or help you forget it, even for just a little while. Listening to this song, I can't describe how well it speaks to my heart. It brings up every longing, sadness, and happiness in my memories with this relationship. It heals me to know that I am not the only one who is sad, that he also hurts too, and I'm not truly alone in the sadness and pain.

  • @Truong613
    @Truong613 7 років тому +74

    I immediately fell in love within the first seconds. It's so sad that media always tries to focus on Mayer's "playboish" side when he's obviously such a talented writer and guitarist! This is one of my favourite songs of the Search for Everything and those "waves" hit me so hard, so close to home. I grew up with you John and I will aways stay a fan of yours! xxx

    • @theosteven3362

    No it's never on the day you leave
    That you wonder what you still believe in
    And you can't remember why you said goodbye
    You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around
    But never, never on the day you leave
    Love grows in the time it's been
    Since you last heard her sing
    She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
    She don't owe you anything
    No it's never on the day you leave
    You can tell how it's gonna be
    To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
    You wish you'd given her one more kiss
    To put away for a night like this
    But never, never on the day you leave
    Love grows in the time it's been
    Since you last held her hand
    She'll fight for you like hell
    Then force herself to like some other man
    No it's never on the day you leave
    That you remember Christmas Eve
    And all the things you miss about her crazy family
    You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree
    But never, never on the day you leave
    No never, never on the day you leave
    So maybe it'd be better off to write her
    And leave a little note right there beside her
    That says maybe we're not perfect
    But I'll be damned if I ever leave
    Damned if I ever leave
    Damned if I ever leave

    I'm old, but I'm not much of a 60s music fan. At a friend's jam session last night, I played this song and it got such a strong reaction from some of the audience that I was asked to play it twice.

  • @unknowndeoxys00
    @unknowndeoxys00 7 років тому +9

    The feeling I'm getting from this is wistful, bittersweet, acceptance of saying goodbye. The easy, acoustic, Paradise Valley arrangement is like a smooth but giant pill going down. Tearful and hard at first, but a comforting hug kind of follows, and the sun will shine over the horizon and shit.
    I can tell, if this was on Continuum, was a lot more distraught in tone, and supercharged with bluesy guitar solos, someone would be listening to this while breaking shit and drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

I wrote him a song about 8 years ago, and songs just ripen, like wine in a wine cellar. I hope someday my songs fly too. Everything he writes is such a gift for generations. That is living life fully, for a larger purpose, and I am thankful for his example.

    I made my ex listen to this song, cause he knew I how much I love John. Who would have thought he would be dedicating this song to me now.

    I love this song so much!! It speaks so much truth to those feelings you're feeling right after a breakup. I can listen to him 24/7 and still want more. Musical genius quality for sure.

    Never on the Day You Leave
    John Mayer
    No, it's never on the day you leave
    That you wonder what you still believe in
    And you can't remember why you said goodbye
    You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around
    But never, never on the day you leave
    Love grows in the time it's been
    Since you last heard her sing
    She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
    She don't owe you anything
    No, it's never on the day you leave
    You can tell how it's gonna be
    To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
    You wish you'd given her one more kiss
    To put away for a night like this
    But never, never on the day you leave
    Love grows in the time it's been
    Since you last held her hand
    She'll fight for you like hell
    Then force herself to like some other man
    No, it's never on the day you leave
    That you remember Christmas Eve
    And all the things you miss about her crazy family
    You'll know how lonely it is to see
    A little drug store Christmas tree
    But never, never on the day you leave
    No never, never on the day you leave
    So maybe it'd be better off to write her
    And leave a little note right there beside her
    That says maybe we're not perfect
    But I'll be damned if I ever leave
    Damned if I ever leave
    Damned if I ever leave
