If he would just do stripped down versions of his music that would be awesome. For example when he released born and raised, it was ok but over produced and not something I can personally listen to. He releases those vevo videos of him doing the same songs on the acoustic and its unbelievable, like some of the greatest stuff ever imo. I have always wondered how he feels about it. Does that overproduced sound really help with sales? I was lucky enough to see him on the room for squares tour and when he toured with the trio following heavier things. Those shows were great! He is still the best songwriter who ever lived, please give the people what they want John lol.

Because 'No Such Thing' also starts with a major7 chord played in the same shape. This one starts on an F as opposed to an E, only a half step apart. In less musical jargon- by removing this from his catalog, it makes/made 'No Such Thing' stand out more by not using elements present in other songs in the catalog. The slappy thumb lines are also reserved for the live versions of Neon.
@gearsofwar21127 жыл бұрын
Matt Orlando he also utilizes the Emaj7 in St Patrick's Day. There are many ways to play the chord around the fretboard. I think he just likes the chord. It could just be that he didn't like the song enough or didn't think it would sell. May not have anything to do with the similar sounds. Who Says and Stop This Train sound similar and he released both. Just a thought

The 2003 follow-up album was strong, but ever since then, John has only done a great song here and there amid the gobs of stunningly bland stuff that he apparently records to satisfy his fat contract... i just hope the dude is happy, because he's earned the right to it.

Well in a sense he has continually toned down his own personality in his lyrics to make them more accessible and ultimately sell-able. The lyrics on this song are extremely personal and it's unlikely that the listener would see themselves in the lyrics the first time round the song plays. What works for room for squares is that the lyrics are simple enough (even if they're well woven) that the listener can connect with them and have the illusion that John is literally speaking to them. And over the years he has toned his lyrical "quirks" even more... to the point that songs like "new light" and "carry me away" are literally mirroring the lyrical elementary-ness of other contemporary pop acts. He is tryna fit in, but it just hides how good a songwriter he is (or atleast was at some point)
