"Sorry, i just dont feel the same, because i know what you're about. so, its just not gonna work out. i know you'll understand my ways one day, just please dont scream and shout."
Stumbled upon this song last year thanks to lastfm scrobbler. After skipping this song many times I decided to listen to the lyrics and wow! Perfect lyrics for an excuse.....just ain't gonna work out.
I love this but I cannnnnot find any other band/musician that sounds remotely like this, can someone help me here? I love the jazzy-funk sound this guy gives.
@naconazov1 How is that an epic fail? They look to be learning how to skate. Epic implies something epic happening.. like a dolphin doing double black flips in a pool filled with jello.
I listened to this song when it first came out, liked it a lot. Listened to green eyed love, hated it. So I never listened to another Mayer Hawthorne song. Then I recently heard "Shiny & New" and realized I was a dumb mother fucker.
I think the heart on the record player symbolizes an endless cycle of love. It's portrayed that way to show that love for him is not the same, and it keeps on going, love will never NOT be. I believe it also symbolizes that music is passion for him, and the endless cycle represent it won't stop being his passion 'till he stops the record player for good. Woah, this song is beyond amazing.
I hate to get into racial semantics,but it a shame that white singes like robin thicke, mayer hawthorne, and adele have a better grasp on making soul music than trey songz, chris brown, and beyonce.
well i've been dating someone I love for 4 years now.....except I think i might also be in love with Mayer Hawthorne.....I guess I'll use this song for the break up ;) sighs....
Am about to buy the vinyl heart for this special girl i love and i was thinking of giving her that has her birthday gift? (because is gonna work out) :) lol
For all the whack-ass people hatin' on him and this song. This is a throw back to the 70's era of soul music. Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Hall and Oates, do those guys ring a bell? It's clean love music that we should all appreciate and embrace. Music isn't like this nowadays. And all this is coming from an 18 year old. Kudos to Mayer for bringing this back and shining a light on interracial relationships. Love is colorblind. Oh, and that walk of his is swagged the fuck out.
@Elementer117 I agree . . Also, I think the interracial thing is the secondary thing. The main point of the video seems to emphasizes on how in a mans life he finds different sort of people to give his heart to . .Some he chooses to leave, while some just come to have fun for a while and then leave, and while some he goes after but never gets . . .
