  • Freakin genius

  • He's brilliant. Enough said.

  • Ottima musica!

    

  • im a big fan of this song and video. he also kinda reminds me of a happy buddha singing. lol

  • Note to self - Never make this a 'relationships' song. It becomes mildly repulsive after.

  • This guy feels a lot his music: like he is thinking of his gilfriend or something else :) I fell it

  • Cant believe this STILL has'nt had 1 mill views... deserves so much more...

  • That Awesome Feeling in my Chest. :')

  • O.o *speachless*..... WE NEED TO BRING OUR MUSIC BACK!!!

  • Members of John Butler Trio: Left hand, right hand, and John Butler.

  • i really want to learn this

  • he's enjoying every note he plays, beautiful

  • 1:04 that's more than a nail.

  • beautiful

  • a wise wise man he is <3

  • I love this song. Hits hard but helped me get through a lot. Thanks JBT!

  • A friend referred him and I'm so glad. So poetic - perfectly stated.

  • shear beuty no words can describe this

  • This is music. Forget about the crap pop music going round. This man writes what needs to be heard. He adresses the real issues, This is what the music industry needs more of. His music has a way of moving the listener, Thank you John Butler

  • i like his guitar playing better than his singing.

  • those nails...

  • @msklurgh so,,,dont care if he was in a gorrilla suit....his music is what matters.

  • One of the most amazing musicians to see live!! (Britt Festivals - Jacksonville, OR.) Thank you for knowing your gift and experiencing it with all of us... I dont know what I would do without your music in my life... <3

  • I'm getting these lyrics tattooed sometime soon :)

  • @HeatherDoomis I already do :) ontop of a bar of music that makes out the guitar :)

  • <3

  • <3

  • love. perfect.

  • Which song is he talking about at the end?

  • @jaynerrrrrrrify Ocean

  • @jaynerrrrrrrify Ocean :)

    

  • How could you not like the John Butler Trio? They are going to the Bryron Blues Festival! I'm so excited!

  • nice

  • Damn.. *highfive to John Butler.

  • you people are ruining this song with all your stupid comments

  • If anyone is curious how he tunes his guitar for this song, I explain it on my channel.

  • I always though it was "Until then won't you share my bagles" Turns out it's "bed 'cos"

    Makes a lot more sense now. Although it'd be nice if it was bagles.

  • @17viris Better question, where did you learn to think?

  • simply amazing

  • Comment removed

  • he has only half of his guitar o.O

  • I love this man!

  • The words after the song are well chosen and completely right. We all are human, the same species. Of course we are all different in our individual personality but all in all we are the same. Indifferent which skin color, nationality or language and we really should act like that. Say NO to racism.

    And sorry if my English sucks badly. I just wanted to get this straight.

  • there are no words for how unbelievably much i love this guy and his incredible music.

  • this calms me down.....

  • ...Yeah, I'd turn gay for him.

  • @TheOnionVampire I Probably would if i considered myself worthy.

  • screw all 26 who disliked this....

  • The number of times I've listened to this song is ridiculous.

  • This is the best song ever to do the 'Robot dance ' to

  • Who is that guy with the guitar?

  • this song makes me think of the love of my life and thats all..music can mean anything to anyone weather its someone you love or hate or what you believe in..lets all just enjoy great music for what it is

  • My hubby picked this song as our wedding song! I love it...can't stop replying it! So Talented!

  • @all of you

    the song is about his wife. Is it not obviously a love song? His wife's name is Danielle, if you couldn't guess Daniella is also about her. And that person he re-recorded it with, is his wife. Just another context clue. Her stage name is Mama Kin if you care to look her up, her stuff is almost as good as his.

  • I am guilty of raping the replay button ;x

  • @ohhmydamnn Me too!! Can't stop!

  • For anyone who wants to skip to the best bit, it starts at 0:00 and then goes on for about five or so minutes

  • My God, this man is amazing!! What a song!!!

  • 25 people have lost their minds.

  • Romantic as tittys and jazz

  • Bloody beautiful. JBT makes me happy to be alive.

    Also, since moving back to England, haven't seen Fed Square in, like, 5 years or so. Perfect setting for the song.

  • <3 <3 <3

  • How is this only one man playing guitar?!? One of the most beautiful songs ever made. Always makes me smile

  • John is my happy place

  • How can you argue about ANYTHING with this song being played in the background of all your impulsive, rude comments? I see it very impossible. :)

  • 25 people don't understand how the "like" and "dislike" buttons work.

  • John Butler is the greatest folk guitarist EVER!

  • 25 mother fuckers. that is all.

  • @ohhmydamnn Aww

    i want to know what they dont like about it? i guarentee they will struggle to find a reason, it would just be to be different.

  • Oh, heaven.

    

  • i'm gonna make love to his voice.

  • does anyone knows the guitar?

  • Comment removed

  • If you love acoustic music, add me in your friends list!  Cheers!!

  • woah he's playing a six string

  • does any one know where to get lyrics

  • @pattythedinosaur16 try google.

  • yip friend reccommended ocean, now i think The best guitarist ive ever heard. I spent months afterwards listening to clips here but i did reward him by buying several albums. youtube is a great place to hear full length songs and realise which are growers but its only fair we give something for the music we love.

  • bellissimo!!

  • bellismo!!

  • is it me or does he kinda of have a bob marely feel to him besides the fact that he once had dredlocks

  • ....che uomo.. Love You, John!!

  • I'm just gonna go back to bed, and keep on dreaming of me playing a guitar like this :), bb every1, and btw Butler, you've got yourself another fan :)<3

  • lol fuck hes got freaky nails - aussie pride!

  • he is so inspirational

  • so touching>>>wonderful

  • I feel so much love in this song, even just listening to the intro!

  • he looks like a hippy-like version of David Beckham !

  • @Jesse1Ramon holy shit its true

  • fuck katy perry. john butler trio <3

  • ♫ ♫♪ Oh.... ye♥h ♫♪ ♫ you are sooooo wonderful.....

  • lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelo­velove

    

  • thank you stumble video

  • yeah, i would never charge 150,000 a gig.

  • Jest 23 kretynów na tym świecie :)

  • 23 people have no sense of music anyone agree?

  • I love that he shows enjoyment in what he's doing, you can tell he's having a good time playing. a genuine artist, i love John Butler

  • its funny how his name is the john butler trio, but there is only one person. but he plays so good that it sounds like a trio :]

  • @SirNinjaCrab Drums and Bass are the other two

  • @SirNinjaCrab wow.. that comment was... just.. stupid. this one too i know but man.. xD

  • Impressive stuff! He kinda reminds me of a more relaxed version of Joe Bonnamassa. I'd love to see them both just jamming together, that would be a Godsend.

  • Love this!

  • thank you for stumbleupon.cm for making me stumble across great stuff like this.

  • thamnk god for stumbleupon.cm

    

  • nice song.. like it so much.

  • Wow, das ist der Wahnsinn, ich liebe es!!!

  • my heart just melted a little

  • 0:21 now THAT'S a finger pick lol

  • All I minded was losing her...!

  • I've always love songs like, Losing You, Fire in The Sky, Better Than.. and so on. In general everything from the Grand National. But Ocean... And then i found the Live edition of Ocean from 2009 in Rothbury. Prepare for another earorgasm people!

  • id love to see john butler and eddie vedder do some songs together..could be epic

  • Why does he speak like he is from Nebraska???

  • @bacharrison he was born in the usa but raised in australia might have something to do with it

  • If only Justin Bieber could sing like that!!!

  • Wow that drumming-thing on the guitar between the songs is WOW :O

  • Incredible how few dislikes this vid has!

  • This song is so beautiful. You can just see it on the expressions John gets out of it. The smiles, the rocking back and forth..

    I realize the song is in some B tuning, but seeming as I'm a big fan of open C (because my voice is too light to grasp that low on the tones), I've taught myself how to play a version of this in open C, and I occasionally play it when busking late in the evenings on the streets of Copenhagen.

    Much love, friends!

  • @GoGoMetalMusic I just learnt the song on guitar from a tab, the version I learnt is open G with the low E tuned down to C. I think on the studio version and this version, he uses the same tuning but another half step down...I don't know if that's open B or anything, I don't really play guitar, hahah. Just FYI :)

  • Anyone know what song he is talking about at the end of this one? (what he played next)

  • Wanna bet that he also minds losing his nails?

  • Hes great and all that but them nails freak me out :\

  • I don't think it's even possible for music to get any better than this.

  • i don't think its possible to get music any better than this.

  • fuck everyone who doesnt like this.

  • Jesus is a mushroom. This is a human. John Butler is pretty damn good at being a human.

  • Comment removed

  • john butler is jerry garcia reincarnated!!!!!

  • What was the song he was about to sing at the end?

  • @brokenhalo2001 Ocean.

  • @brokenhalo2001 He was about to play Ocean (: <3

  • I heard of John for the first time yesterday. The first song i listened to was ocean. I now believe he is the greatest guitarist I've ever seen and heard in my life.

  • @liljayjay456 first jb song i ever heard was ocean. still my favourite song to date. :)

  • @liljayjay456 same!!! hahha yeah ocean is a converty song :)

  • @liljayjay456 Oh hands down

  • @liljayjay456

    i heard ocean first too, now im a devotee!

  • @liljayjay456 you havent seen enough guitarists. Yea he is very very good but not the best

  • @bacharrison Don't you think, though, that "The Best" is really up to a persons opinion? I mean, when you consider all the different gnere's and sub genres there are in music.

  • @liljayjay456 I was about to say the same exact thing. can't agree more. <3

  • @liljayjay456 Insane what he feels. He's amazing!

    

  • who else agrees that just like everything else religion has nothing to do with this?

  • @arlendixon He said himself in concert in Atlanta on Friday 7/22/11 that it was about love being what's really important in life, and alluded to his significant other. So yeah, agreed, it's not about religion.

  • @arlendixon wtf religion ? im like 99.9% positive its about a girl

  • @adamgore1 Correction. It's about The Kimberlies in australia.

  • @Lithiumized he re-recorded it with somebody for a fundraiser to save the kimerlies

  • @adamgore1 ....smd

  • @arlendixon religion has nothing to do with anything?

  • @arlendixon music is a religion...amen

  • @arlendixon religion has everything to do with anything for lots of people. I don't think it's bad for them to hear their god in music, do you?

    I'm not religious at all, but I won't deny it's intertwined with pretty much everything

  • @arlendixon besides the prayer part?

    I think you could argue the opposite that in some way, religion has something to do with everything.

    Why do you say that religion has nothing to do with anything?

    Just out of curiosity of course. No hostility or offense meant in any way.

  • @bananymous1 if u didnt mean to offend, then dont ask a stupid offincive question.9think before u talk?)

  • @17viris where did you learn to type

  • @17viris woah woah woah, if you want to be like that then so be it. I was trying to be kind and simply inquisitive, but if you're going to be like that...

    First off, if the man is fricking sending it as a prayer, it clearly has something to do with religion, seeing as prayer is only found within religion....

  • @17viris Secondly, it's clearly not an offensive question unless the part that offends you is that it shows that you're clearly wrong and you're embarrassed by your stupidity as I'm sure you just made that clearly stupid claim out of impulse from your atheistic passions.

    Thirdly, it's definitely not a stupid question. It's the appropriate evaluation of YOUR stupid statement.

    I did think before I spoke*. I thought about how obviously wrong your statement was and how anyone could be that obtuse.

  • @17viris I'm sorry that your ignorance and hatred of God spills over into your ability to hear someone clearly state "I send this up as a prayer..." It's a shame that people can be so blind as to quite literally cut themselves off from reality. If you don't want logically thinking people to politely correct your obviously wrong and simply stupid assertions, don't post them on youtube.

    "I send this up as a prayer..." that you, 17viris, might regain the ability to hear and use your human reason.

  • @17viris and it's virus* not viris.

  • @liljayjay456 without fail

  • @liljayjay456 hmm take a look on the internet and search for Steve Vai or Van Halen and then think again :)

  • @Florin199221 Admitedly though they are completely different types of guitarists, Hendrix aswell and they are all the best in their own style. I Agree that Butler in this category is one of the best guitarists ever, just look at Ocean.
