I struggle with putting on a face for everyone to try and show them that I’m “mature for my age” when in reality I’m not and it has cost me enjoyment to just live in the moment. I’m happy that I’m realizing it now. What is pretentious to act like you’re “all that” to impress people and have them think highly of you, you’re lying to yourself and those around you, and you make yourself seem less approachable. ( I’m not talking about u when I say “you”, just talking in general)

      @@pnut3844able ... I don't think you know what pretentious means. It's actually much closer to the opposite of that. A pretentious statement would be that people didn't care at first until I change their mind. Not really in the same realm that his comment was... he was just saying that he invested a lot of time and energy into setting things up/creating things for certain people who didn't care. Wasted energy doing things for people who don't appreciate it in the least. That's not pretentious... its closer to self-deprecating in that he's saying he was very naive and got taken advantage of essentially which caused him no shortage of misery just worded in a different way.

      Yes, just imagine him making a cover song more popular than the original. Because that’s what you’d have to do. His somewhat effeminate, nasal moaning version somehow managed to reach #51 on Billboards chart (have to admit, I’d never even heard it before and he did his cover almost 13 years ago.). So, yeah, super popular. Mr. Pettys version, which just about anybody with the slimmest of links to music and pop culture is more than likely familiar with, on the other hand, made it to #1 in 1989, So, I really have no idea what you’re talking about. Perhaps that was just your considered opinion it was better. That I’ll grant you.

    It's December 15, 2021, Kolkata, India, 5:48 a.m.
    It's been almost 6 years since this song introduced me to John Mayer's music and my whole career on guitar studies changed once and for all. Tired after doing my engineering assignments for the entire night I decided to take a break and suddenly this song popped up in my head and as I came to check it out for almost the 1000th time, the nostalgia hit me like a running truck. The tears I shed through this man's music, the healing this man caused me incomparable to nothing. I hope every single person who's watching this video may find mental satisfaction and peace in their life. Hang in there.

      That's not necessarily true, Bob Dylan's 1967 album contained a song titled, "All Along The Watchtower." Six months later Jimi Hendrix covered "All Along The Watch Tower" in his album "Electric Ladyland," where Hendrix’s version became a Top 20 single in 1968 and was ranked 47th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This may debunk your statement about comparisons. There are many more which can be cited, but let's let this one be a "classic" example"

      He has this relatable, down to earth quality to him. He is a world renowned superstar, and yet, every time I listen to him, be it his songs, his interviews, whatever, I feel like this guy is just a more successful version of me. He could have been this friend we all have from high school, talented but too shy to make it. He could have been this brother who guides you through life with words of widsom and neverending support.
      Very few artists are able to navigate and stay themselves without being eaten alive. Mark Knopfler comes into mind as a bit of the same type for me.
      I flew all the way from France just to see Mayer live last year, and will also see him in Paris in march. He's become, through his songs, a dear friend to me rather than an artist.

    What's up with all the 'Tom Petty's version is better!' comments? Music is no competition. I bet John didn't came up stage and thought to himself "This one's going to be better thant Petty's one." From a musical point of view John's done a really great job at putting his own thing in this song. And that's what a cover is all about: Doing your own thing. (And showing respect to the owner of course ^^)

    He's been playing this live on his ongoing acoustic tour. Absolutely magical. Get tickets if you can!

    If this is actually his natural voice with no effects I think this is the best male vocal performance I’ve ever heard

    His voice is so... crisp. I’ve been looking for that word my whole life.

    My people that keep coming back to this song each year understand how important it is. It isn't just a cover. It is arguably one of Mayers greatest performances of all time.

    The smoothness of its delivery sounds like it's a studio version not live. Best live performances john has IMO

      I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace out.

    Outstanding! Shows how a great song can be the same song, but so different without detracting from the original while making it special again.

    never get there. THIS WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME PERFORMANCE.Still my theme song sung by my favorite artist

    I was lucky enough to see both the original artist play this live and then Mayer years later.
