Somehow, JM can make an incredible satire of 80's music, while making legit 80's music as a dead-serious musician. Have to admire his ability to not take himself so seriously, but demand that his music be taken seriously. Love it.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Your comment explains his entire album perfectly. And I’m sure he loves that people are trying to decide whether it’s satire or not.
I agree completely, but I also don't think majority of people even know that was his intention. Only some of us real fans that appreciate the man that brought us the toffee "eat one and throw the rest away" song or the "CVS bag" songs really get his limitless talent to make something so absurdly funny...... so classic (and vice versa, like the New Light video)...

Can’t seem to listen like I want to So I can hear it in my ears Nobody’s gonna come and save me Ive pulled an all nighter waiting for this song to come out and I’m too tired to make these lyrics good 🥲
I can imagine them in the editing room watching the finished product and laughing their asses off at the absurdity and cliché. Nailed it. I appreciate when artists don’t take themselves too seriously.
The art direction is phenomenal but man the dancing is ridic (I know it’s supposed to be but fuck it’s blatant) and the girl just seems like she’s not in on the joke. Let the girl in on the joke John. Ffs.
The drop of water...the 80’s dance moves in the water, the clear telephone, and the dove. When I first stared to watch my heart sobbed a little. But then...if you are familiar with anything worthy that John does, you know he fully intended to have you chuckle at numerous shots in this video. Well done sir. Well done.

How the hell has he done this.. equal parts take the piss, sincerity, nostalgia, self deprecation, seriousness and genuineness. I think JM is possibly the only human with the tools to do this well. Bravo.
Every single detail is priceless: the song, the MTV presentation, the lights, contrast between colors, the glass, the cat, water, drops, rain, the phone (with neon), the slow mo, the lip sync, staring at each other, the stereo set, the dancing, the shadows. Just perfection between the jokes and exceptional talent.
thats pretty common these days. Vinyl and cassette sales have been going up for the last few years. A lot of new albums are on vinyl, less on cassettes but still somewhat.
@@Bluemgwes I don't understand why anyone would want a cassette aside from pure nostalgia, though? Vinyl is different as the sound has a particular feel, plus it's just generally fun to use
I may be wrong but i feel like it’s a subtle reference to the paper doll lyric ‘you’re like 22 girls in one’. As I say, I may be wrong but it feels reminiscent of that and he’s talking about the same person/ same situation.
That old style telephone and back before tik tok and cancel culture when people actually played outside and when u could say anything you wanted and people wouldn't get offended , VHS camcorders Walkmans etc nah dont miss it at all
I'm amazed by the accuracy of the 80's vibe. The tones, the style, but most importantly the cringy cheesiness of both lyrics, sounds and music videos. It feels incredible and refreshing after years of autotuned meaningless trap shit and general pop crap. Thank you John.
it's so great hahahahah. I saw some people saying he was doing this video like it serious, but I think it's a way to be funny like in the new light one. don't you think?
Just heard the album! Bloody hell John! The songwriting in this record! Love to see your growth as a man, thank you for being vulnerable and in doing so, thank you for making us feel like we're all in this together regardless of whichever phase we are in our lives. Love you big man, hope I can shake your hand someday and say Thank you for the countless amount of times you and your music have saved me. 🤍
This album is only 10 songs but I keep going back to it almost daily. It’s so unashamed and genuine. The music just melts in your head. Only way I can describe it 😂. We needed it.
Far too many people completely miss John's sense of humour in these videos and don't see that his dancing etc is done tongue in cheek. I've spent 20 years listening to him and he just gets better and better with age 👍
This new album sounds like a mix of Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel/Genesis, Don Henley, Steve Winwood, and Sting - and I love it. It's got the mid-to-late 80s / early 90s soft pop rock feel. By the way, Mayer is among the best living guitarists and if you don't believe me, see a live show. He has taken his guitar solo skills to another level and Clapton puts him among the best to ever play (saying a lot).

It's like I'm 13, came from school. My mom ask me to do the homework but I'm sitting in my room, watching my fav music videos on MTV 😍 Thank you, John ❤️
John: "if you thought you met you Casanova and he left you with a broken heart remember when it's done and over it was only just a shot in the dark" Operator: "Sir are you going to order anything????"
Exactly! I have to agree that, despite the seeming seriousness of much of his music (not a bad thing, of course), the man is also funny as hell, too! IMO, he could've easily carved out a career as a standup comic, had music not panned out for him like it did. As for the video, I too couldn't help but crack up at his hilarious take on all those cheesy dance moves and the "anguished" pounding on the wall in time to the music, which permeated many a video back in the 80's...In addition to being moved by such a bloody fantastic song as this!
Okay... I thought I’d be the only one who finds the video a little comical. Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate this video. And I like the song. I’ve been a huge JM fan since the start. It really is genius. I just wonder how many people will really see that.
@@ChronosSyros yep I picked up on that too. Everything from the hair to the sets to the exaggerated emotions…all intentionally corny. I’d love to see the behind the scenes. I bet there was so much laughing and bloopers on trying to act sooooo 80s.
This song is so dreamy. I like it a lot. I'm not really familiar with his works but Sob Rock has definitely turn me into his fan. Currently exploring more of his music.
People not loving this just don't get it! It's not only 80's sound but every visual you're seeing is 80's! This guy is freaking amazing! GOLDEN!!!!!!!!!
I never expected to laugh that hard. The dove flying out of his hand had me rolling. This is absolutely brilliant. I can’t wait for the rest of this album.
The songwriting in "Shot in the Dark" is so raw and vulnerable it's almost painful. I genuinely cannot believe the courage he has to put himself out there in such way. The whole record is the best thing that's happened since the pandemic and I hope he knows that. It made me scream "I LOVE MUSIC" by myself, in a silent house, past midnight, so I guess that aggressive marketing was right, after all. Hats off to JM's marketing team, by the way. You all deserve the world. And, Johnny - you made me feel like a 13-year-old staying up late for new music. I haven't had that level of excitement in almost ten years. "Sob Rock" is "make me feel happy to be alive" rock. Thank you.
It's like the (Storytellers) ✍ When the song writer puts his heart in his art and then the music follows along in his song to make the sound 👏 the ( Rhapsody) of Love is around 😍 That's when it makes it easier for the performer music entertainer to take his grounds👍❤👏👀
Fave line “I want you in the worst way is the gate code still your birthday “❤😂

I remember this song was playing during my high school prom. I can’t believe it has been almost 25 years since I last listened to this song! Such a classic.
Man's 45 years old looking like a 25 year old in 2021 but acting like it's 1985. I see what you doing John, genius move to unbound his music with time constraints.
John is so fucking with everyone. Is this the work of a genius or a madman? No matter... Release the dove. Answer the neon phone. Look over your leather clad shoulder. Bang on the wall in time. Dance like Billy Squire in a pink shirt...They'll love it. I vote Genius. The world needs more 80's.
I was born in 1989 and my parents raised me surrounded by 80's music (and previous decades too). Actually I owe them my broad taste in music. I am very open to this music era but... GEEZ... how I needed a whole new album to bring back 80s vibes these days. Thank you, John Mayer. The whole album makes complete sense. It's just pure gold. I'm from Argentina and I just finished listening to it through and through and it makes me want to hit the road, more specifically RN40 (National route 40), and play it forever on loop at sunset. Thank you for this amazing masterpiece❤.
@@rishadebrahim3272 Hey!! Thank you!! You just introduced me to a whole Stranger Things kinda music haha!! They're good. I've been listening to a bit of everything you suggested ;)
@@nahilsolange1015 haha! Theres a lot more but didn't want to overwhelm you with options.;) Synthwave/retrowave is a magical rabbit hole into nostalgia that you will soon discover.
Where is he filming all these videos? Does a parallel 1980's universe exist that he visits? It must be were he is writing and recording these songs. I'm going to buy this album on cassette tomorrow morning with my allowance.
I kicked a date out of my apartment tonight and was completely honest in saying “I need to listen to the new Mayer Album on Spotify.” She laughed so hard I almost got mad. Not even a joke. This album is incredible!
I play random lists from youtube when I am working and John Mayer often comes up because I listen to some of his songs, lately, I have been getting to know his other songs too and whenever I hear a nice song I look up the date and I often find that the song was published 5, 6, 7 years ago and I get a little sad that I missed it all that time, but this is a very new song and I am here to just hay I am happy that I am going to grow older with this song.
OMG... This made me realize how much I've missed these artsy music videos!! Way back in the 80s and 90s, we just took them for granted... Please carry on, Mr. Mayer!!

Dude, I know it is a small detail, but I LOVE the MTV credit style lettering in the intro. Instant nostalgia.
Thought I was the only one who noticed
That immediately made me smile. Then a few seconds in the slinky cat and I knew this was going to be a great ride.
Right! It's the first thing I noticed and thought "man I miss the days when music videos had those"!

Anemoia, totally agree
Damn I'm old lol
‘89 here , was a baby but guess it kinda counts lol 😂
Lolololol! I agree!
“I want you in the worst way, is the gate code still your birthday” might be one of my favorite John Mayer lines of all time.
It's definitely up there for me!
Its such a great line! It reminded me of the line in Sledgehammer, where Peter Gabriel sings, "All you do is call me, I'll be anything you need."
He’s a musical genius! Of course the guitar, but also his voice and the lyrics…sometimes straight forward and other times complex. 🙌🏻❤️
Same
Also I’ve loved 7 other women and they all were you
When the world needed him the most, he answered.
Like a superhero
So true!!! Love this
Just like Norah Jones in the 90's, the world does need a soothing voice, and John is bringing that.

Yezzzz
This is kinda true, he has always referenced/been defined by the 80s

The album is second best to "Continuum" but honestly only few albums aren't.. Sob Rock is an incredible record

@@hollowfrost I appreciate your love and support Trisha, where do you live and how long have you been following me as a fan?
This is fucking genius, a joke that is so good that it isn’t a joke anymore…
So good on so many levels
Okay... I thought I’d be the only one who finds the video a little comical.
Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate this video. And I like the song. I’ve been a huge JM fan since the start.
It really is genius.
I just wonder how many people will really see that.
I thought he might be kinda serious until 2:30 when he releases the white dove like he’s in a freakin John Woo movie.
He made the best 80’s Soundtrack complete with the cheezy cliche video,.. done with perfection so it actualy works awesome
@@ChronosSyros yep I picked up on that too. Everything from the hair to the sets to the exaggerated emotions…all intentionally corny.
I’d love to see the behind the scenes. I bet there was so much laughing and bloopers on trying to act sooooo 80s.
@@angelahorn7013 He did mention that the record is kind of his idea of a shitpost, so this checks out haha
This song is so dreamy. I like it a lot. I'm not really familiar with his works but Sob Rock has definitely turn me into his fan. Currently exploring more of his music.
Please do explore. You'll love it all.
Sit back and enjoy. All of his facets are a delight.
He always releases an album when the world needs him the most.
‘I’ve loved 7 other women and they all were you’
My goodness. So freakin good.
His voice is angelic
Not the best epithet in my opinion if you remember someone like Jeff Buckley existed!
th-cam.com/video/HSG7ew3ASXg/w-d-xo.html
Again.
I never really used to have any opinion about many of his songs but I bought this album, I love it, no haters..............
Oh shit you're that guy who does all those piano covers! Used to watch your videos like crazy when I was 12.
People not loving this just don't get it! It's not only 80's sound but every visual you're seeing is 80's! This guy is freaking amazing! GOLDEN!!!!!!!!!
Ya! Anyone from 70’s 80’s would be blown away with how much he captured!
The song goes into the early 1990's.
@@cabalenproductions6480Yes!
This is the best version of 'Time After Time' I've ever heard ! 🤪
I never expected to laugh that hard. The dove flying out of his hand had me rolling. This is absolutely brilliant. I can’t wait for the rest of this album.
Agreed, the 80's drama is so extreme it's hilarious but also the music is so good. Stoked for the album
The dove was ridiculous
I lost my shit at the dove part too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My thoughts it's that he exaggerated on purpose. Almost like a love letter to the cheesy MTV era aesthetics, but the music is so good that it works!
Seriously. So hysterical and a perfect take on videos back in the day.
“Is the gate code still your birthday?” Love that specificity.
I'm glad you posted this comment because I was trying to figure out that lyric!
It sounds like something Jen Aniston would do. To be honest.
KATY perry
❤❤❤...ich liebe deine Stimme und die Art wie du spielst und bist.
Wünsche dir alles Gute..❤❤❤
I could not stop laughing. This is SO 80's. Absolutely died at the dove. Bravo John
Or Johnny Bravo?
Same!
Geeez its the best feeling going to sleep knowing the album is gonna be live in the morning
It’s even a better feeling going to sleep after listening to the album ‘cause I live in India😁
Ahhh
Have fun:)
He just went full commercial , not the john mayer i used to listen back in 2010.
@@jager5796 ... My guy, you ever heard of this little song called Your Body is a Wonderland?
Good Lord. This is more 80s then the 80s ever were.
🤣
I lover her
He brought me back to my childhood... Oh, the 80’s, so many great memories...! Thank you, John! 🥰✨
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
John: releases the dove.
2:29
Lolol
I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD. So 80's. So cheesy. But also SO GOOD.
Too classic! 🤣🤣🤣
He really went there 😂
The songwriting in "Shot in the Dark" is so raw and vulnerable it's almost painful. I genuinely cannot believe the courage he has to put himself out there in such way. The whole record is the best thing that's happened since the pandemic and I hope he knows that. It made me scream "I LOVE MUSIC" by myself, in a silent house, past midnight, so I guess that aggressive marketing was right, after all. Hats off to JM's marketing team, by the way. You all deserve the world. And, Johnny - you made me feel like a 13-year-old staying up late for new music. I haven't had that level of excitement in almost ten years. "Sob Rock" is "make me feel happy to be alive" rock. Thank you.
Perfectly put!
🤨
It's like the (Storytellers) ✍ When the song writer puts his heart in his art and then the music follows along in his song to make the sound 👏 the ( Rhapsody) of Love is around 😍 That's when it makes it easier for the performer music entertainer to take his grounds👍❤👏👀
What does he mean by 'shot in the dark'?
Is it another song about sex?
@@markopetrov511 😃😆🤣 lmao..You think ?
Absolute filthy dance moves Bro! Love it!
Yes and yes! Finally!
Haha! I found some of his moves good others not so much, but not filthy. Hilarious comment anyway.
Haha.. just John being John!!
@@engineerMusician227 lol hes twisted in a good way
His dance moves looked like Arthur Fleck from the Jocker!
Fave line “I want you in the worst way is the gate code still your birthday “❤😂
I remember this song was playing during my high school prom. I can’t believe it has been almost 25 years since I last listened to this song! Such a classic.
Ummm you know this is a new song right?
@@carlomoran6320 he’s kidding man 😅
@Jo Navz Shit my bad
@@carlomoran6320 Glad you got it, my man!
John really just released a full album of "This is only our second date but I've got a really good feeling about this" vibe songs
Hahaha underrated comment 😂
This is a funny comment, however, I think it’s a full album of songs about regret, as it relates to past loves.
"I've loved 7 other women and they all were you"
That's deep af
Sounds like repeating cycles to me...
what did yall interpret it as?
@@akshayarun1351 I see it as he never got over one specific person so he dated other individuals that reminded him of that person.
Maybe he lived 7 lifetimes before and it was her in every lifetime ..like his song (Lifeline) 🕊👀
Well...
One of my favorite John Mayer songs now. And my list was already so long
I physically can’t stop listening to this song.
I deeply appreciate you for you for being a fan. It gives me so much joy that I am able to put smiles on the faces and heart of many.🤗
john looks like that 80s rock artist that everyone wanted to be
Actually, more like 80s pop-artist.
What definitely doesn't make it worse
Yeah, 80s pop music was the best
Rando: “John, I bet you won’t make a goofy 80’s themed song”
John: “say no more fam”
…one album later…
Bless John Mayer for showing how great real music sounds.
I have a feeling John did the choreography for Joaquin on ‘Joker’.
Bro I just spit my drink out reading this comment.
th-cam.com/video/Cmp1R7frXWw/w-d-xo.html
Which was both done by John mellancamp
Joaquin Phoenix's Joker laugh sounds like John Mayer's laugh.
I've never seen him dance at all, but I wouldn't put that past him 😆
Man's 45 years old looking like a 25 year old in 2021 but acting like it's 1985. I see what you doing John, genius move to unbound his music with time constraints.
John’s 43
For me, this is his best song in the album.
Agreed! Close second is all i want is to be with you
I don't think so....
completely agree
agree
When JOHN MAYER starts dancing at the end..I felt them positive vibes....my dude knows he is all that and some...love the vibes bro
"i've loved seven other women and they all were you" ahhh so you met her variants, John?
wait so this song is about miss corona 😭
or a Loki reference.
Alligator Taylor swift
I understood that reference.
@@elainegrace5525 who’s miss corona
John is so fucking with everyone. Is this the work of a genius or a madman? No matter... Release the dove. Answer the neon phone. Look over your leather clad shoulder. Bang on the wall in time. Dance like Billy Squire in a pink shirt...They'll love it.
I vote Genius. The world needs more 80's.
Release the dove 🤣
Love the ‘release that dove’… 🤟🏼😂
Its like in 1990 we took a long detour through grunge, nu metal, post-punk etc only to arrive back with music we actually really want to hear again.
This whole look/vibe is giving sooo much Continuum. The long hair really does it. Like this man does not age! A literal genius.
80s music at its finest ♥️
I was born in 1989 and my parents raised me surrounded by 80's music (and previous decades too). Actually I owe them my broad taste in music. I am very open to this music era but... GEEZ... how I needed a whole new album to bring back 80s vibes these days. Thank you, John Mayer. The whole album makes complete sense. It's just pure gold. I'm from Argentina and I just finished listening to it through and through and it makes me want to hit the road, more specifically RN40 (National route 40), and play it forever on loop at sunset. Thank you for this amazing masterpiece❤.
If you still want that 80s vibe, check out the midnight, timecop1983, fm84, Ollie wride. :)
@@rishadebrahim3272 Hey!! Thank you!! You just introduced me to a whole Stranger Things kinda music haha!! They're good. I've been listening to a bit of everything you suggested ;)
@@nahilsolange1015 haha! Theres a lot more but didn't want to overwhelm you with options.;) Synthwave/retrowave is a magical rabbit hole into nostalgia that you will soon discover.
@@rishadebrahim3272 😁👏🏻👏🏻
I am dying over this and the whole 80's branding it's hilarious.
What a time to be alive! Haha
It looks so normal to me...but then again I'm 49.
Thank you so much, message me directly on hangouts johnmayer2518@gmail.com
Didn't see this coming. Sob Rock is full of surprises
The dancing was on point with the 80’s. I love the self deprecating humor
Where is he filming all these videos? Does a parallel 1980's universe exist that he visits? It must be were he is writing and recording these songs. I'm going to buy this album on cassette tomorrow morning with my allowance.
You mean this song was not recorded in the 80's?
Lol if you make a new comment that is just that last line of this post it'll get a thousand likes.
I kicked a date out of my apartment tonight and was completely honest in saying “I need to listen to the new Mayer Album on Spotify.” She laughed so hard I almost got mad. Not even a joke. This album is incredible!
My respect for you went ^^^^^^
good boy you are hahaha
Based
The hell with her, I bet she likes Taylor Swift. 😆
This is the most generic boring sounding trash he’s ever released. The whole nostalgia 80s thing is cool and all but this album ain’t it.
The ultimate John Mayer performance: music and comedy at its best
I play random lists from youtube when I am working and John Mayer often comes up because I listen to some of his songs, lately, I have been getting to know his other songs too and whenever I hear a nice song I look up the date and I often find that the song was published 5, 6, 7 years ago and I get a little sad that I missed it all that time, but this is a very new song and I am here to just hay I am happy that I am going to grow older with this song.
John Mayer is the best male singer alive today
tomorrow and forever
The video is better than I could've ever imagined.
❤❤❤
Only JM has the audacity to release this video. Damn, what moves, what nostalgic MTV credit, what 80s cheesy shots. I believe in JM supremacy.
I remember my parents playing this 35 years back damn times sure passes fast good old memories ❤️
Favorite on the album right now
Bro I love your music also. Your a legend lol
Cant believe I just stumbled across your comment. I was listening to Fresh and Sunny this morning on my commute. Keep it up🙌🏻

C'mon, New Light is god tier
Linda demais 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"Experience the 80s in HD like never before."
Great song, great aesthetic.
It's like a travel to the past.
John Mayer is and will be the best.
OMG... This made me realize how much I've missed these artsy music videos!!
Way back in the 80s and 90s, we just took them for granted...
Please carry on, Mr. Mayer!!
Yes what a cool way for John Mayer to mark his 20 years in music. I remember this type of stuff in soft rock in the early 1990's. 1990-1993.
