I did a cover of this song and would love some criticism and people to just take a listen. It's produced decently I promise :) THANKS! Please vote up this comment if you like it.
i don't get how some people can hate a musician so much that they have to constantly bash them. Taylor Swift is talented and just because you don't like her, doesn't mean you have to hate her.
Can we please stop with the Taylor Swift stuff. Just because he was nice and txt'd her back a few times doesnt mean they dated or were ever in a commited relationship like the rag mags claimed. I dont know JM but I believe he would never write an "answer" song to get back at someone.
Some people say that john mayer is going down on quality with the Born and Raised album, but I think that this song could have been in any other of his albums and I'm sure it would have been one or the best song in it :) John Mayer=Genius
This is def. one of my fav. of all the new unreleased JM songs - I get this feeling that he wrote this song for someone he cared about. You really feel the emotion when he sings this...its like he singing this for someone specific. Love it!
@giannibb313 I wasn't there but it was on his website. You had to write a paper either about PTSD or you/a family members struggle with PTSD and if yours qualified you were allowed to purchase up to two tickets, between $250-500 each (I think.) Since I couldn't produce any story in relation to PTSD or get that kind of money, I bought Tiger Jam tickets! Awesome show from JM and Keith Urban.
@giannibb313 I personally haven't read that its true other than what I've read from people posting on YouTube. But there is a video on his (JMs) Youtube page where his with his new drummer (Aaron Sterling) at Electric LadyLand Studios. AS is doing a live delay drum video, very awesome! But the fact that they're in the studio tells me something has to be coming soon! I'm hoping at least haha
@MrCliffsboy Completely different songs in every way. I personally prefer the upbeat sound of Love is a Verb. Shine is a beautiful song but it's a whole other feeling all the way through.
@mrsweetear yeah i agree really ,its just i had not heard this song coz iv not listened to john mayer recently and i had been playing david gray and straight away i could hear shine when love is verb came on but i suppose u can say that about alot of songs, both brilliant singer/songwriters two of my fav artists both pure class ,uv got good taste cheers.
not trying to come across as a better songwriter at all because this guy is amazing and i love the song none the less but, "love ain't a phrase, love is verb" would sound nicer possibly?
JM certainly can come up with songs that get right down to the heart of the matter. ("No Such Thing", "Gravity", "Clarity", and that "Anything less than 'I love you' is lying" song, are other examples of this, IMO.)
"Love ain't a THING. Love is a verb". As a teacher, and former nanny, I can't tell you the number of times I've seen parents do this backwards. They mean well, but parenting is rarely, if ever, convenient. It takes commitment and self-sacrfice. An investment of one's self. Children need love, structure and guidance more than they need the newest toy or pair of tennis shoes.
funny how half the crowd who "loves" john mayer finally shuts up when he says "Love...it's not something you scream."

I'll eat my hat if there isn't a harmony over the 'show show show me' part of the song in the final recording.
Everytime I listen to this I just can't help but harmonize that part.
