John Mayer is so in touch with reality in all his songs. Thanks John....you put the words to our lives. The Ages | Reviewer: Jake | 12/24/08 You know as i saw down there.... at Kelesy's review... she said there are people from 13 - 60 on this page alone.... all different ages, different backgrounds and it brings people together, and thats great... But i must say... music is the on thing that brings everything into place, its realitive, same as this song, for one it means the work day, and for another it means a life time.... what ever it is, please dont "disclaimer" youself, by saying "well im only 13," or "yeah i know im only 20 but.." No guys, this song is about life, and if your 5, 10, 13, 20, youve had life.... i dont care how "bad" it is, cause bad is a realitive term.... we have bad days.... and for every bad day, theres a song like this... So enjoy one of the great minds of music, and never count your self out of a great tune, due to your age. Pass this on, cause I think everyone should hear this... no matter if its music, or something else... Have a great time Humbling experience | Reviewer: DJ Aphlatoon | 12/18/08 It's a great pleasure to know that in current times when people are obsessed with sex and all the songs are about how to get the number of the next girl in the club, there is someone out there who took time to write this song and put perfect music and melody to go with it. Beutiful | Reviewer: Jordan | 11/27/08 I thought this song was beutiful and I felt so stupid but i started bawling my eyes out and I'm only thirteen but I totaly understand.It makes me think of my grandma and home videos and I want to cry for the whole night but i know I shouldnt and it makes me feel lik everything is going to go so quickly and I too think sometimes lik watever its not going to make a difference if i did something different but this song really makes me sad and yet happy but the part about his dad is what makes me sob <3 | Reviewer: Kelsey | 11/22/08 I love how this song can reach across generation lines. There are comments from people aged 13-60 on this page alone. I can't believe how something so simple as a song can bring so many very different people together. This is what music is all about, isn't it? Rampant musicality | Reviewer: bo rainier | 11/14/08 What caught my ear are the amazing and unusual chord progressions - intricate, original and completely logical, and expertly played. It is, in my humble opinion, a masterpiece of grand scale melody and harmony combined with deeply felt and beautifully constructed lyrics. Thank you, John, it's a dazzling achievement. un describable | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/13/08 this song honestly helps me get through everything. im only 13, but somehow i feel as i understand how each person in this feels. i usually say it doesnt matter what i do now because im still a kid. but honestly life goes by so fast and every moment you have can be the best moment of your life. i cant even describe how i feel right now. this song just makes me want to be a better person. john mayor is the best artist in my book Turning the tables | Reviewer: Camille | 8/27/08 I too tear up every time I hear this song. "Wanna get off and go home again.." I feel that every time I'm insecure about how to be a grown up (I'm 42); insecure about how to be the parent my children need. Then to hear your father's reflection about how he struggles too, gives me comfort. It's so weird how in the midst of struggling with being a grown up, I am profoundly aware that what i worry the most about is providing the "home" my children will want to run back to when they grow up and feel the speed of the train. Strange to me the comfort I get when I am reminded that this is a universal experience. Thank you so much for reminding me... only 26 | Reviewer: laura | 8/8/08 but i know it's not going to be "only" soon. I had this cd but never really heard this song until i caught myself listening to the lyrics just now from a streaming radio station. I lost my dad last year and even though it looks very positive my mom has cancer again and this song really is perfect and beautiful. it speaks to the sadness and fear that seems inevitable and more and more so as the years go by. i used to be really invested in the excuse that "i am so young and my whole life is ahead of me" but now the time limit on this particular excuse is running out and its time to make something of life before it's too late---it is good to know that i'm not alone in feeling like this. Thanks John | Reviewer: Kyle | 5/23/08 It's crazy...I've listen to this song a thousand times, and have sung along with the lyrics each time. I've always understood and appreciated the concept of the song...but for some reason today...something compelled me to look up the lyrics. After reading the lyrics while listening to the song...I began to tear up and felt a little overwhelmed. I'm only 20...but it frightens me how I remember 10 years ago this time as if it were yesterday. And I know that I'm going to wake up one day and I will be 10 years from this very age looking back on today saying the same thing. This song for me really puts in perspective the paradox that time can move ridiculously slow...but life passes by unbelievably fast. My favorite line in the song is "So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun." I often tell myself that "I have my whole life ahead of me"...what a foolish thought. I realize now that one day I will "turn sixty-eight..." and "...renigotiate." I've certainly learned a valuable lesson from this song. Thanks John Mayer. Once again...you've proved yourself as one of the premier songwriters of our time. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8
