His amazing blabber

John Mayer is by far my favourite still, why?

It's not just about his insane ability to syncopate and play notes and add beats into bars just when you think it's humanly impossible to do so,

it's not just his dreamy, slightly perpetually stoned look as he plays(as much as that's the lady-killing look);

it's not just his quirky shoulder shrugs and spasms as he plays his guitar passionately (sometimes making seem as if he has tourette's);

it's not just his mad talent that allows him to sing and play the most complicated riffs concurrently with as much ease as  using a fork and spoon to eat,

and it's also not just because he can mash any 2 songs and make them sound SO legit (google his cover of NSync's Dirty Pop and No Such Thing)

it's also how he captures his audience with his insane blabber at times. How he goes on and on about an experience or a thought process with such vividness and truth, the things he says which make you go 'ahhh... yess..' (like how you sometimes do when you come across some of the things on 9gag).

It's how when he speaks his mind, you get that glimpse of that mad genius inside of him, that chaotic thought process that translates into his chaotic, yet somehow organised riffs and solos.

Here's what he was blabbering at the start of this video:

It's a sunday night, a night never to be trusted for emotions. So, a lot of you guys are gonna head home and either receive texts in the dead of night or actually compose them that are not going to be fully representative of how you feel for the rest of the day, for the rest of your week. Then you'll be reaching out, and if you're not reaching out you'll have someone else reaching out to you. And your friends, and your brain, and your morals, and your conscience have all trained you not to respond. But I'm gonna go against the grain and I'm going to suggest that the next time you get a message from the one you love, the only person in the world you love and can't talk to, that you respond. And you just write back when they ask you if you're up, and you're up, just write back, "Yup, come on over." Cause life is just too short to keep playing the game. Cause if you really want somebody, you'll figure it out later. Otherwise, you'll be laying in bed with a Blackberry on your chest staring at it, doing nothing for the rest of the night, hoping that it goes, "PRRR, PRRR, PRRR." If you love someone, if you love someone. If you love someone, if you love somebody. If you love someone. Don't say a word, say, "don't say a word, just come over. Just come over, just come over, don't say a word, just come over. Let me cry all over you, let me wish that you were someone different." If you love someone....
