@GlitchyDolphins this might sound harsh but she could be implying that she feels the relationship between you two is only one of convenience. You should probably call her!
Me and my boyfriend's song... We only keep together with holidays, because I moved a year ago. We still love eachother, despite distance... I love him, and John Mayer <3
@TheMoek1 You have to believe you wont be alone again and that you'll find someone. SOme times God leaves your hands empty but its only cause he plans to fill them up with something even better!
@purplepigeons Yes this is true, And it is also what i tell myself every year. As the years go on, it becomes harder and harder to do so. I honestly cant say that to myself anymore and set myself up for dissapointment. It SUCKS more every time.
the chord progression in this song is godlike.. it's beyond amazing! And the bassline is terrific! Well everything in it is awesome! :D It really catches that winter feeling :P
Everyone's saying this is a sweet, beautiful song. I don't disagree, it absolutely is beautiful, but does anyone know the meaning of the song? These two lovers are only staying together because holidays keep popping up and they don't want to separate. But ofcourse, song meanings are all about the listener's interpretation.
@MusicIsMyLife39 I actually disagree but respect your opinion...the interpretation part of this song, in my eyes, is about whether you think they are only staying together because of the holidays or if they are into one another but, knowing love fades over time for most, promise one another that they won't break up until at least mid-March..."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"
this was the first song i ever heard of john mayers when the album, room for squares, came out....:) it makes me remeber all the years ive loved him:) i was like 5 yrs old:)
this song is so dumb i think it sucks donkey kong balls i hate this song so much its so gay and i waNT TO destroy this song i hate the ppl that like this song
@cmjqdhcvs this is a pure, deep sweet song. if you dont understand it then you shouldnt listen to john mayer at all. this is where he started. this made him.
One of my favorite JM songs. Almost all the songs from "Room for Squares" are great especially "No such thing." I like to listen to it on St. Patricks Day. lol. I became a fan of JM in '08 and I hope I can go to a concert this summer if there is a summer tour.
Get the tabbed version by Catherine Gagne. She does an excellent job. It won't sound right until you get it down in it's entirety with timing. It took me an entire week and I've been playing guitar for over 45+ years and majored in Classical Guitar and Music Comp.
No crap, I'mtrying to learn this right now using tabs on A-Z chords. the chords on this song are all over the place especial the first part of the chorus but I really like the verses 1 and 2. Happy Holidays to all and I hope none of you are alone on Christmas time!
It took me an entire week to get it down with the timing. There is a correct tabbed version that is right on though it won't sound like it while you're learning it and yes, it can be done, thumb or no thumb ... plan on spending a good week of 2-3 hours a day.
Yeah, this song is perfect for a lonely gloomy winter scene in a romantic movie. The song is so true tho - no one wants to be alone for those months. Thing is, that's really sad that someone would stay with someone just because.
i write lyrics like JM and i sing music like his. He's been my inspiration all my life for music. my name is Katrina and please if you're really looking for someone message me back. I love this song, john mayer, guitar, piano, and good music.
genius. it's very genius. :) i love his VOICE!!!! seriously, man. it's so much like Norah Jones...smooth and milky. It's beautiful. :) this is such a romantic "slow dance" song, ya know? it would be so sweet in a movie...hmmm.
One was that it's about hope, saying that a new couple together know that they at least will be together until St. Patricks Day, when all the social outings are over and they are just left with each other..
And other (my view) is that it is bittersweet, talking about how people sometimes only stick together while it's convenient- ie. Who wants to be alone at Christmas?! Better to put breaking up off, until after new year, and valentines day.. :/
actually gota add more me my dad and my bro we all used to b close now we are really spread apart but we alwayz used to listen to this guy so everytime i listen to him once in a while now i just think of the good o timez wit dem and i was really young so i wasnt really listening to lyrics but now since im a lil older it actully means sumthing to me and itz pretty cool so yea THIS GUY HAS AMAZING LYRICS and i miss those times it actually makes me want to tear up sumtimes like a bitch lol jk
omg. i sing this song during christmas too! welll, it was once, & i will never forget
my brother was listening to it(oh i miss him so much), and i went to his room, layed down on his bed, & it was REALLY cold here in NY, it was like december 22nd...and i layed down and listened to this song, and i started to tear up. the room was quiet while both of us listened to this song. I WILL NEVER forget.
Does anyone know of any songs that share a similar sentiment?
