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.

Easily his most underrated songs and one of the best, just the whole theme and feel is original.'

2020 and it still my favorite john mayer song.........

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.

Uploaded in 2005. The good old wispery John. Top comments 5-6 years old. This particular video is like an antique sculpture, and I love 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.

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..

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.

It's 2019.. this is still great.

i always forget that he used to sing like that.

This man is unfathomably good at guitar.

woh i didn't know Jimmy Fallon plays bass

This song is brilliant. An underrated masterpiece. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to. #Happy20thAnniversary

Amazing chord arrangement.. Still feels like that first time i heard it years ago

the bass makes this so much better not that it wouldn't be amazing already

Wow he’s voice is beautiful exactly like the studio version

Beautiful. I love how he actually says Feb-RU-ary - so unique :)

5 people would prefer to be alone at Christmas-time.

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. 👌

this song feels like a warm blanket on a snowy day

how does he always manage to sound just as good if not better in his live performances

He reminds me of Brandon Lee. Such beautiful music always. I treat his CD like its totally gold.

Great stuff! Complete with vintage Mayer face at 2:58 ;)

Not only a great song, but also one of the early KZfaq uploads!

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of the 15 year old video(as far as upload time)

The perfect song for "Cuffin' Season". One of my favorites!

The John Mayer Trio was very successful, plus the cd rocked.

this song feels like home and love and nostalgia and my god its so fucking beautiful

love the sound of just acoustic and bass...nothing else!

and come january we're frozen inside. making new resolutions a hundred times

Saw him in concert many many moons ago. How he's grown.

I really hope JM plays with David L again some day....this dude is the greatest bass player and compliments John

This is amazing quality for 17 years ago!

It is 2021 ....and this this still fucking great

Continuum didn’t exist when this video was uploaded...

keep coming back to this

2017 boys...

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

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 ❤️☘️

Uploaded over 10 years ago.. Wow

What a genius. Handsome too!

Best song of his best album. Luckily there’s a great tutorial of this song on KZfaq, or else I never learned to play this song. How he composed this... wow.

Conan is tall as hell..

Hahah I love how they need a 8x10 bass cabinet to play a duo with an acoustic guitar...

I love how Conan goes to stand rite infront of the bassist completley blocking out clay hahahaha

2021, still here..

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

Conan just dwarfed him when he waled up to him LOL! I love both of those guys immensely!

2:32 DeLa killed it😔👍

John is mayer is freakin good, david labruyere too, both are incredible

what a great quality for a 2005 video man

i wish he was this age now...

sometimes this just hits different.

Wish he’d do a sequel album Room for Squares^2

A genius

DELA ON BASS!

Soon 20 years. 🥃

Song sounds like fall in New England. Still in heavy rotation

I love this song

Last safe day. 😬 Happy St. Pat's day, though.

Been playing guitar for 9 years. Still can't get this song down. How is his thumb so long damn it. Haha

Love that voice

What a chord 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

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.

The highest rated tab on UG says this has 35 chords?!?!?

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.

Absolutely no one in the crowd knew how dirty those chords were.

Aug 2024

Trying to play this song, hurt my finger so bad … but it worth🥲🥲

awesome bass

So I just learnt to play the whole song. Problem is, my left hand got decapitated throughout the whole process.

2021 anyone?

Well, it's November... anyone looking for a serious relationship 'til say round about, March??

man, my gf asked me to play this for her bc is your fav song....... i almost break my fingers trying :)

Great song. Poignant lyrics.

its so freaken good...

Beautiful x100,000 000,000

Happy St. Patricks day John Mayer!!

We need context here! What's going on in this time period exactly for John to hit it off so hard with this? hahaha

Still here in 2022 ☘

Conan understands the talent up there

One of his best and most underrated songs, this is also one of the oldest videos on KZfaq I think

Whoa. DeLa with short hair.

@rohan316 that bassist really knows how to play with john

de la!!!

hello i am from future. This still feeels great

@Acomb420 I highly doubt it was a flop. It's more of a variation of the C#m chord. John does it a lot. :)

2019

Conan's height is no joke.

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.

one of the only times Conan has meant his compliments

He didn't have a signature martin yet at this time.

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

chillin

2020?

omjm i think. he's signature martin.

이 노래가 벌써 16년 전이냐 와

sometimes i do miss the old rough/breathy voice (like this vid.) on battle studies its fading away (it does mean his voice improves)
