the song just lost its feel....where's the freaking slap picking!!?

Wow, if one is for "who says", just keep your odometer under 100g in ohio and its like a cop ticketing you after rolling through a stop sign because you forgot the difference between stop and yield. Rolling actually creates a lot more problems on paper. Personally I think everyone must be diligent and stop to look both ways before deciding to when to go.

I think John Mayer is a geuniune songwriter, just listen to the song "Belief". Its quite a deep song if you analyze it. Same with "Waiting On The World to Change". Admitedly while listening to "Who Says" I felt their was some douchness in the lyrics but I feel that just isnt how John Mayer writes, so I will assume its a deep song im not getting =].

you should cover Jimmie Vaughan, you have his playing style

Good job playing... but the song isn't as good as it needs to be. Learn 'Burn one down' by Ben Harper (much better tokin song)
-
I think he's implying a feeling of nostalgia instead of conceited douchiness.

I like the music in this song. It's simple and catchy and nice(and you did a great cover by the way). The problem is with the content. Now, this doesn't mean I'm against the legalization of marijuana for economic or health reasons, but I don't know...the lyrics are just so flagrantly douchey. "Fake love for an hour or two...then again I don't remember you." I hope it's all a joke, otherwise...what an ass.

@chasingdogma54 - Thanks for the compliment. It's interesting that you ended with "otherwise..." I've been trying very hard to decide these past few years whether John Mayer is genuine songwriter or a conceited womanizer. I still lean towards the former, yet I've always been an optimist, so... About the lyrics -- I agree, and I almost didn't record this song for that reason. It's just so freakin' peaceful and catchy!

As I wrote in my Laptop Sessions post, I think he used the marijuana reference as a metaphor for choices that your friends/family wouldn't expect you to make. And I HOPE the "I don't remember you" is referring to meeting new people (in keeping with the theme) rather than the result of some drug-hazed memory loss.
