John Mayer - St. Patricks Day (Demo)

[@sanchari.c]

Can't stop listening to this song ever since I found it. John Mayer and his guitar, quietly singing away is a different level of magic. The sound quality is amazing!

[@bahaanaldo]

This song deserves mad respect. Its got more chords than all his other songs combined. How did he play this? Amazing.

[@asior34]

this song - 30 chords

[@shaqy6467]

It’s actually 41 no joke

[@Giulianac_]

Damn.

[@vecter]

Not difficult chords. Many variations

[@jonah.leonard]

[@zodixh3543]

@@vecter still 41 chords

[@pievancl5457]

Still amazed at his song writing skills.. the chord progression in this song is incredible, and super complex. This was one of the first songs that I truly challenged myself with learning on guitar.. had to learn all about stretch chords.

[@summerfinn2300]

listening this in Oct 2020. This is the best song to listen to in winter. Hope everyone is well!

[@DonnaFirsty]

P.S. this is THE BEST Christmas song EVER!

[@atapaulun7516]

3 months 28 days to Christmas 2018. still my favorite song.

Its amazing how relational memory works. I used to play this version of St Patricks day on repeat for a few months back in 2021, when I was talking to a girl that i was very misguidedly infatuated with. Just hearing this takes me back to the feelings of frustration, confusion, and sadness that I was awash with, during those months. This song's theme of time passing by without progress, closure and helplessness, spoke to me so much.

[@ilovejesus1014]

😂😂crazy bro I’m in the exact same boat. When you said “misguided feeling” I felt the accuracy. I fell in love with who I THOUGHT she was. I don’t want to be with her, but man thinking about the situation pisses me off.

[@mragunathan1627]

@@ilovejesus1014 enough time has passed by that I am now actually relieved that I dodged a bullet with that girl lol. Exactly like you, I built up an image of what i wanted her to be, she was anything but. But hey, live and learn!

This song is beautiful. I don't know which version I like more. I simply adore the intimacy of this one but I also admire the album version's arrangement. Oh well, both are on my phone anyway.

Still listening to this in 2023...always around fall and winter. Timeless song.

[@bahaanaldo]

Yeah, he seems to have deviated from his personal complex music theory style to appeal more to the public. It's something he's learned after being in the music business for so long. He has it figured out right but the older fans like us miss this stuff. I know I do.

[@omarabz4129]

Now a days he is doing the music that he wants, because he is in a position we’re he can do whatever he wants

[@cmt8485]

@@omarabz4129 doubt it, the bigger you get the more people fight for you, John would know this.

[@tylerm5774]

These songs also require you to be in an insanely focused headspace. Its almost like once you grow out of it its tough to get back. But at the same time Sob Rock is his best album since room for squares or heavier things.

[@torduc22]

@@cmt8485 he literally left Columbia records to do his own thing - pretty sure he's big enough where he doesn't have to answer calls to so-called stakeholders anymore. Not saying what you are saying isn't true in general - I'm sure it happens to artists who get super big with a specific circumstances - JM just doesn't fit that bill imo.

[@kevincasey821]

This is just an excellent demo. Imagine you're a record exec hearing this for the first time. Wow.

[@suzannahur4977]

My first most favorite song from Mr.John Mayer ,driving home late at night from clinic these words kept my heart alive&hopeful..thank you always..zana

[@kimberygraf5404]

Listening again St. Patrick's Day weekend, 2024 and hoping to sing this for karaoke. Superb song.

[@AsyaTopsakal]

this just appeared on my suggested vids and im so glad it did! it's one of my favourites of his and this is so good!!!

[@EricPerkinsMusic]

Seriously. Got a little teary eyed. Holy Moly.

[@My_Testament]

Here comes the cold Break out the winter clothes And find a love to call your own You, enter you Your cheeks a shade of pink And the rest of you in powder blue Who knows what will be But I'll make you this guarantee No way November will see our goodbye When it comes to December it's obvious why No one wants to be alone at Christmas time In the dark, on the phone You tell me the names of your brothers And your favorite colors I'm learning you And when it snows again We'll take a walk outside And search the sky Like children do No way November will see our goodbye When it comes to December it's obvious why No one wants to be alone at Christmas time And come January, we're frozen inside Making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrrick's Day We should take a ride tonight around the town And look around at all the beautiful houses Something in the way that blue lights on a black night Can make you feel more Everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be Just like you and me No one wants to be alone at Christmas time Come January, we're frozen inside Making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And if our always is all that we gave And we someday take that away I'll be alright, if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day

[@4TheMus1c]

john mayer at his best, i loved the circa 2002-3 time. he is still so awesome and different now

[@PeterZeeke]

I've never liked playing this song live, but this is a great way of doing it... cant believe I never thought of it!

[@LeanBravo]

I wonder how he managed to compose this song.. man.

[@giothemath]

Heartbreak or Drugs I’m guessing

[@bahaanaldo]

I was simply using poetic license. I do know what a chord is, and I have learned how to play the song. I was just saying its one of the more difficult songs. Thanks for being so well mannered.

[@phillipvocuong8831]

[@brazierf]

I really like this version but the long note at the start of the last chorus in the album version is just the ultimate orgasmic climax to the song and this one doesn't have that, sorry guys :P

[@bahaanaldo]

@JunBlues77 True. I've since learned how to play it, hah. But it took a while. Even though it's so many chords, the way they meld into one another makes it a seamless song to play. This guy not only wrote good music, but his chords were amazing.

I appreciate the way he sang here. Wish they just retook the same thing for Room for Squares or just give us an alternate version for the newer albums. Maybe the only thing worse in this version are the final few lines which really made an impact in the RFS version.

You have a point actually. Many of these chords are similar to the progression/chords of No Such Thing but I wrote that years ago, when I was just learning guitar. Needless to say, I was very impressed ha.

[@buddhapeach]

Just brilliant ✨✨✨✨✨ 5:15

[@oliverandm]

Man the guy has matured a lot - hate it hahaha. No but i always consider Room For Squares, and even this early stuff, to be his greatest! It has like 36 chords or something, but it's put together so well, absolutely love it

[@Polo2210]

Way better than the other version.

[@jeep1070]

What a miracle

[@pascalvictor1441]

I respect this version a bit more. Hum picking the notes instead of strumming allows more sentiment to be released from the guitar to accompany his voice in the song

[@Juan-zl3fy]

I dont think so. Except for a few songs, I enjoy mayer's strumming a lot in room for squares, they fit their chords perfectly. Picking it's cool and all, but the "pacing" (i dont really know if that's the right word here) the studio version has sounds a lot better for me, like the lyrics belong to it.

There's a whole story there brother. Hold on to whatever you believe in.

[@SASJKL]

man, enough with the "music these days are pathetic" statements. sure, i don't enjoy most of the pop/radio songs of today, but i've heard the pop/radio music in previous era and frankly they weren't that good neither. but there are plenty of notable great music in the past, just like john mayer. let's say 80's, in my opinion, dan fogelberg is john mayer whilst mc hammer is lil wayne. i can go on but it'd just take up my letters. stop being those pretentious jackasses who complains about pop msic
