Lyrics:
Did you know that you could be wrong
And swear you're right
Some people been known to do it
All their lives
But you find yourself alone
Just like you found yourself before
Like I found myself in pieces
On the hotel floor
Hard times, help me see
I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I'm right here, and I'm right now
And I'm open, knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now
Well I ain't no trouble maker
And I never meant her harm
But it doesn't mean I didn't make it
Hard to carry on
Well it sucks to be honest (honest)
And it hurts to be real
But it's nice to make some love
That I can finally feel
Hard times, let me be
I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I'm right here, and I'm right now
And I'm open, knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now
[x2] - Hudba
I love John Mayer songs comment sections. People seem to genuinely care about him, but not in an angry way like with some fandoms. There is a genuine camaraderie here. People open up and relate to one another. I know this happens elsewhere in youtube comments but there is something about John Mayer songs and john mayer fans. It is really fun to be apart of this gently aging fandom of people who love music and who love john. So thank you.
Truly true!
That is actually true; I never realized that.
Yeah it's so cool every comment section is like a debate about his life😂
So true!!
Yeah the man's got a (relatively) small yet loyal fan base who like to read lyrics word by word, and consume song as a whole since it always hit them in some ways.
John Mayer is like wine, the older he/it gets, better he/it becomes.
Richard f but looks just the same
So he's purple, prone to shattering, and smells like alcohol 24/7?
@@aakashsunuwar4433 so does Morgan Freeman
Word up brother
Very true, except The Search for Everything.
Everytime I hear this song, I get this feeling inside of me that tells me "Don't worry, everything is going to be alright" so peaceful.
Clash of Clans HND Same
+Daniel Samperi I agree. Because the song is basically saying "I made a lot of mistakes and said some fucked up stuff and for that I apologize. But now, I am letting it go and moving on with my life." The song makes me feel like you can always change who you are, improve yourself, let go of the past, and start a new life. :)
You absolutely right!
I feel the same kk
Same here, man. Best definition to this great song!
This song is so underrated, this is some deep shit.
agreed
+Qritical_91 sucks to be honest, and it hurts to be real.
This song has so many lyrical gems
he may not be the most known artist to most people, but all good artists know who he is :)
🌊🏊N💩😹
Yes it is. "The Power of Now" (Eckart Tolle), the shadow self and a Mindfulness approach to life. Deep indeed :)
It's amazing to listen to this song while you're going through the same path and moving on from the past and forgiving yourself. John never disappoints. His songs will be always my all time songs.
John hace muy poqjito que te conosco y escucho tus canciones ,un genio desde Argentina!!❤
This is still the John Mayer I identify with most.
Same. I'm glad that this side of John Mayer hasn't totally subsided post B&R and Paradise Valley. B&R I feel is his real masterpiece since it's the most musically inclined and honest piece of artistry he's ever completed. Yes, I am well aware of Continuum, but I still think B&R is superior.
I need more songs like "I guess a just feel like"
Same
A lesson that is so hard to learn...Forgive yourself and move forward
Yup. Hardest lesson ever.
👌
Love the way you said it, I really needed the encouragement at this moment! Thanks!
“I’m a good man, with a good heart, had a tough time, got a rough start …”
I doubt anyone will read this but as of recently Iv been struggling with sobriety and this song here has helped me so much more then I could believe
I love being able to come back and watch this video. My grandma passed a few years ago but it makes my soul happy to see her with my grandpa in this video. Love you grandma❤ 2:50
" MY SHADOW DAYS ARE OVER" ... SALUTE 👍🏾💯🌄💪🏾❤️🙏🏾⌚📖🗝️👣
This song represents a challenge that is so hard to complete, and that’s forgiving yourself. This song has been a rock for me through some of my lowest points and will forever be my favorite John Mayer song. Big ups my guy, and Godspeed!
Same here man.
No matter how many relationships you go through John, you're still an inspiration to us all.
JM is one of the few artists that gets better and better as he gets older. It's pretty much the opposite in most musicians.
Very True.
Not even. People grow and change. We're human after all.
One of if not the greatest artists of our time. Hands down. So underrated it's unreal. I'll always hold his songs near my heart. Got me through the worst times of my life. Honestly my own shadow days are over now.
"DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD BE WRONG AND SWEAR YOU'RE RIGHT"....the theme and story of my life... sigh
Don't worry about it too much
Remember
You're not done changing
You and me both 😄
Born and Raised was that unassuming album which ended up as a behemoth with old man strength, really an accomplishment lyrically and musically.
This song was my mantra as I was coming out the other side
of some of the worst times in my life. It's like a rebirth, and it feels that
way every time I hear it. It's that glimmer of hope that you gain after you
take those first few steps toward redemption with your heart still in your
stomach. Thoroughly grateful for this song.
this song has gotten me through some shit.
same dude... this and dreaming with a broken heatt
heart *
It's crazy how these songs don't get the attention they need but mumble rap gets more attention because there talking about drugs and sex constantly
Me Too Jerry. Cheers!
The album Born and Raised just grows up on you, I didn't like Born and Raised when I first heard it TBH but now after listening to the album 2-3 times, I can't get enough of it! Honestly a very underrated album.
Same!!!
Ditto🙌💛
Totally! Being a Heavier Things girl, it took me a while to understand Born and Raised, and now I can’t get enough of it, it’s my peaceful place 🥹❤️
You are a good man. And a good heart. It’s been awhile. Keep playing.
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
wow if you been through depression this is a really good song
you're absoluterly right. i've been through that, i wish you the best!
the media and the press always find ways to bash his image. he is just like any creative, honest and blunt opinionated person. only difference was that he was in the camera all the time and never had privacy. everything he said was magnified and exaggerated. yes he was an ego addict, but that is all common when you are have someone who is extremely talented and attractive in the eyes of the public. it was only a matter of time before the media took advantage of that and made the people believe ridiculous things, which took a toll on his mental health as he let it get to him. just like any person john has experienced a shit load of pain and unnecessary comments , but he is just as human as the guy you called an asshole because he was proud of how he could play the piano. we have to stop thinking that when a person knows what they are skilled in, that does not make them a bad person.
I think that they do that because he doesn't play to their games. He seems to really just be his own person good or bad.
I genuinely love this comment, thank you. I love the true John Mayer fan family
Amenb Amen
Yeah he has been bashed for things that ppl should let go of. I'm so glad he didn't do a Brittany and a Justine spas out! I admire Justine , love his music too. I'm happy John has an outlet for all his naysayers.
Yes. He so brilliant talented and unique. 💗
2012/13.... This song reminds me of a time when I lived with my late sister... she helped me in the process of ending my love relationship... there were a few nights crying and she came out of her room to welcome me... It helped me a lot!
Today I'm with my wife, but now I miss my sister who helped me so much... I sometimes cry for her... I lost her to cancer... I hope spiritually to find her again! I love her so much and I only ask God to see her again one day. Gratitude.
imagine hiking in the desert and you see John Mayer and a film crew...
"I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
And I finally learned to let it go
Now I'm right here, and I'm right now
And I'm open, knowing somehow
That my shadows days are over
My shadow days are over now"
10 years today 🎉♥️♥️
The Born & Raised album is so inspiring, this song in particular.
It´s hard to let things go and move on. But one day you have to believe again and take a first step and hope that beginning will lead to resolving. It´s better than doing nothing. Losing yourself is not worth it .
This song helped me realize so much in life, it got me trough the darkest of times, thank you so much John. Keep on rocking.
Aged like a fine wine
Song changed my life. I’m listening again after so many years all I can do is cry. I use to live with my mom n she will get me mad I’ll be in the room listening to this song on repeat n wishing I can just run away from Africa to America live my life in a country town. But now years later my mom is dead ive grown into a man living alone in my apartment remembering those times I use to live with mom. I miss you mother. Rest in peace.

He's so underrated
Your underrated
He is not underrated by any means, but he is just not popular as many other "hit-makers" simply because his music and lyrics are complex. In my opinion, he is an incredibly clever lyricist and an amazing songwriter. People may or may not like him but they definitely can not (and most of them will not) deny his incredible talent.
@@danarnold4210 I agree. Not everyone can like his music. But there are so. many. people. who do.
@@Mark-jk9gv yup, he is not underrated. He is just not as popular as the mainstream mega stars thats all.
Underrated?! Perhaps you've just been born to not know about John Mayer
After 29 years of searching. I finally found my purpose in life, my shadow days are over.
god blees
i still remember time this song dropped ooh those were the times
John Mayer's older music never struck me but this one!! It's really super super good. It's right up there with Dylan and Neil Young. Heartfelt, simple...beautiful - go John you've re-invented yourself and it's a gift, go with it Bro. The world is getting ill from digital fatigue and organic acoustic music is a wonderful cure.
Since you have opened yourself to the idea that he is talented and not the brat the media tried to paint him to be; I think you should go back and register to his old music. I think you will be more open to how skillfully John Mayer pens his lyrics.
"I'm a good man with a good heart. Had a rough time... got a rough start."
This was my brothers favorite song and he died back when i was 13 i am now 16 and miss him more than ever but gosd has a plan for everyone i guess but its hard to understand and this is my favorite song along with gravity and free fallin.
💓💓
2:40 - 3:05 is the best shit i have ever heard in my life
Agree ! I think Im only heard that . Haha
2:26 I get so much beatles from this part. pure as gold
So george harrison kinda solo
Yes. It’s perfectly Beatles-esque 🖤
EXACTLY!!!
Thanks John for saying these things in you music/songs that I didn’t know how to say all this time. I’m just a nobody 45 year old husband and father who is trying to keep it all together all the time for those who I love. I won’t ever stop being a better me but it’s really exhausting sometimes. I’m not complaining just being honest. To be able to sit for a minute and hear a song(s) that describes how you are feeling and get that much needed release for the small moment in time that someone else knows how it feels is truly a great gift. Thank you sincerely John.
Have a good life old man
@@santlalyadav5729 thank you and I wish the same for you 😀.
Country artist Chase McDaniel mentioned that this song helped him so much with depression. This song is so beautiful and healing. Thank you for helping me come out of my depression with your song of encouragement. Healing through music is such a beautiful thing. God bless you!
Hello Joyce how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I like the long hair and SRV hat style he's got goin on
2020, bad year, but listening to this music helps me relaxing. John Mayer the best
It really is a bad year but thank god for jm
Yes i agree he just makes the crappy covid19 go away
Esa vos y esa guitarrax Dios es un fenomeno,john desde Argentina❤.!!!!
“Well I ain’t no trouble maker
And I never meant her harm
But it doesn’t mean I didn’t make it
Hard to carry on”
I felt that
Can't believe it's already been 4 years.. Listened to this song in senior year in high school, now I'm graduating from university soon.
+Yohan Park congratulation
I can't believe it's been 4 years since you commented it's been 4 years.
Psalm 54:4
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.........
And I am hoping Lord my shadow days are over now
Randy Campbell amen brother me too
Jesus heals!👐🏾
“Hard times let me be” I felt that one
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Thanks, John. Thank you very much. Everything is so clear to me now. Thank you.
been your fan for 16 years. man does time fly by and you still amaze me every time.
That's awesome.
Alyssa Rendon thanks
Thank you
i watch this music video whenever i am feeling down and it has not once failed to put a smile on my face
Came here from KathleenLights! What a song. 💕
me too!!
Hi THERE JOHN MEYER SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL "MY SHADOW EQUALS TO A GRATE SONG!!!!😊😊😊😊
I don't know what it is about this album, but I got it in the Winter. And for some reason, I can only listen to it in the Winter - and it feels so magical, especially when I get up early and driving down the motorway as the sun is still rising. It feels so special and I get that warm feeling even though it's so cold.
Every winter I get my john mayer kick. Christmas time is always john. I grew up living this music. Everyday. But winter is the time to vibe. Clarity. John is incredible. His music is perfect.
Lyrics👇
Did you know that you could be wrong

I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start

Now I'm right here, and I'm right now
And I'm open, knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now
Well I ain't no trouble maker

Now I'm right here, and I'm right now
And I'm open, knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now
so true
How good and sincere are these lyrics.
I have no idea if John Mayer is an addict, but I'm one, and listening to this song, I can relate so much to it. Wrecking things, ending up "In pieces on a hotel floor.." It's about forgiving yourself and moving on, to me at least. Been sober for a year now, and I've let my past go and am living for today. Great song, great message.o it
john mayer is amazing my favourit of all the singers
Still listening still here.. still going strong.. to everyone out there, please enjoy your life at the most! 🔥
I'm glad I haven't heard this song until I needed it.
my shadow days Are-Rover, My Shadow days Land-Rover now... Love this song.
hahaha I loved it
nice pun
Lol! The Best comment!!
It took for me to go to a psych hospital for almost taking my precious life away to come across this song. 💕 I absolutely am in love with this song it's renewing, refreshing, and it helped in the process of healing my mind body and soul.
Aged like fine wine
Você é e será o melhor sempre John 💜
Raiara oliveira With sure :)
John Mayer's music is the best i have ever discovered in my lifetime
John, you picked a great road trip for this video. I've been to many of those places multiple times.
The amazing John Mayer!
Always make a good job!!
This song/album came out at a really hard time in my life where I had to make some tough choices. Fast forward 8 years and my life is better than I could have ever hoped for. This song genuinely helped me. Ever time I thought of giving up I would put this on and push forward. Thank you John for using your extraordinary talent and making a change in my life.
Brilliant ballad with awesome lyrics!
Long hair John Mayer is awesome 😎 I love his look especially in this music video 🤙🏻 love the song too 😊
Beautiful man. Beautiful song and wow the scenery

Gusta ♡

Gusta melhor pessoa ❤
Vim ver a musica por causa do Gusta :3
I think born and raised is one of the bests records ever made. If you want to contest and say it cannot be compared with some legendary tunes, you are right, shadow days or if I ever ger around to living are not Bohemian Rhapsody or Let it be, and they will never be. But just think about how much this music makes you feel good, and makes you enjoy life. Music is not always about being amazed by some skills or extroardinary originality. Somemetimes great music is just about making hearts smile being as simple and as true as you can, and that’s why John is a real genius ❤️
SOOO PERFECT!
Hard times help me see '
Hard times let me be ...
Never really appreciated this song until recently. In and out of a bunch of short, turbulent relationships. I was definitely the bad guy, or at least I let myself act like him for a while. Need a break, a reset
Johnny Shallow
Hey at least bad times makes us appreciate good things we didnt even noticed before.
This song makes me so relaxed, love it.
john you're amazing
This is the song I want at my funeral
I'm right here and I'm right now, and I'm open, knowing somehow, that my shadow days are over now 🥲❤️
He could be johnny Deeps brother
+Wolf Muse (Wolfshadowz) Thats deep man :D
+Wolf Muse (Wolfshadowz) AND YOU COULD BE WRONG AND SWEAR YOU ARE RIGHT. ¿did you know?

This has helped me through very hard stuff, you're a legend, Mr. Mayer
