  • i am in love with this solo... such amazing talent !!!!!

  • AMAZING 10/10 Now this is what i consider real music . He is such a talented musician but what makes me enjoy him even more is how real he is.. He really feels it an believes it and it shows through his guitar. I respect him, such a shame that there is so much shit "music" out there now getting bigger than people like this! He deserves alot more views and appreciation! Though i bet he couldn't care less!

  • John Butler is amazing...i love this guy!

  • 91 people got fucked in the ass a child

  • 91 people decided for whatever reason that this video did not please them, perhaps they prefer other things instead or were not in the mood for music like this. That is up to them, I do not judge. I enjoy this music, that's more important to me.

    this threw me on a very happy trip, since im high. you can feel the amount of passion he put into this beautiful piece.

  • im pretty damn high right now, and while listening to this beautiful piece of music with my eyes closed, i imagined a story of my man finally getting the girl. but idk. thats just what i tripped on.

  • Saw this video in like 03 or 04 at on demand. Was not only amazed but brought to tears. I am 30 now and life has twisted and changed much like the way Oceans does... thank you neighbor girl who let me steal your cable and discover john butler trio:)

  • how is actually possible for 89 people to dislike this?!

  • @harrirogers i agree, it is madness that sum1 wouldnt like this.

    prob lady goo goo fans i bet

  • This right here is GOD having an ORGASM!

  • /watch?v=qy3mdyGB_bc

  • John Butler is the perfect blend between old school and new school interlocking into one school

  • It's been a while since I watched and listened to this, yet it never gets old. What a tremendous performance. How beautiful can a guitar sound?

  • i seriously just do not get how you could dislike anything about this video

  • EARGASM MUCH ?!

  • pure music

  • Hey I did a cover of Ocean, please help me out. Thanks, and keep the great inspiration coming. watch?v=Hu0RLY5xRo0

  • \(^_^)/

  • how can anyone dislike this song?

  • @trossy111 because of the music taste,for example,the ones whose brains got sick of all that POP Stars and fashion bullshit . What they dont realize is that a song like this just does not need an sex icon as artist or the right style. They just dont feel the fascination or the unbelievable love to music that are hidden in this song.

  • @trossy111 Because they're useless retards?

  • Can this song be played easily without growing your finger nails out like a troll?

  • wow, i didnt know jack sparrow played guitar...

  • it is as unpredictable as the ocean itself

  • I want to make a meaningful comment, but I'm speechless. I usually play with a plectrum, even on acoustic, but that was just inspiring; I will learn to play like that. That was simply amazing.

  • magique !!

  • This really is the most amazin peice of music I have ever heard in my entire life and I'm a fan rap!

  • CAN EVERYONE PLEASE RECOGNISE THIS MAX SESSION AS BEING THE DEFINITIVE VERSION OF JOHN BUTLER'S OCEAN SO WE CAN THEN HAVE IT PUT ONTO ITUNES AND I CAN PUT IT ON MY IPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • John Butler kicks ass... hardcore, hes gotta be the best guitarest alive !!!

    Any comments or subscriptions would be awesome !! hope to hear what everyone thinks

  • Just frickin" amazing!

    And everytime he plays it, its different.

    Lovely!

  • just saw john butler trio and BDO melbourne... they were amazing... and they all played the drums it was insanely brilliant!!! thumbs up for sure!!!

  • That guy must be one heck of a milk drinker to have nails that can endure that kind of fingerwork. Love how you can notice how into the music he is just by his expressions.

  • I love you DANIELA I want to be CLOSE TO YOU and WHAT YOU WANT? SEEING ANGELS? I want to see the OCEAN with you I want you to PEACHES AND CREAM with me! A REVOLUTION of KEEPERS is BETTER THAN LOSING YOU. Forget this stupid text all I want is to be a BETTERMAN! :D

  • Pure Love and Light Energy coming from John Butler, through his guitar, to every spirit that takes the time to let it into their Soul. Thank You for this blessing. I also believe the Live Ocean at Paleo Festival is an amazing version to experience!

  • man you are awesome!! honestly i cannot find the words to describe how this song makes me feel but if u think of the the thing that makes you the happiest in the world then thats how this song makes me feel!!! i can play guitar but nowhere near as good as this....good on u kind sir!!!

  • A combo of perfection and awesomeness. O, i forgot something. Holyness and Godness. :D (and yes i can't speak english)

  • 88 people must have accidently pressed dislike

  • superb

  • really really good man

  • the 88 people that dislike this are crazy

  • I'm glad this video has inspired so many people. I just checked out it 4 years after uploading it and was astounded at the number of views.

    That said, the version of this video uploaded by N3man is much better in terms of both video and sound quality, so please watch that one (you even get to hear his foot tapping -- an integral part of the performance).

    Finally, in the description for this video, I put an up-to-date link to the album on Amazon that includes a DVD of this performance.

    Enjoy!

  • @amferraro I actually enjoy this video more than the one your talking about, you can hear all the notes. The other vid has so much bass to it, sometimes it drowns out all of what hes doing.

  • @amferraro Thank you.

  • perfect!!!!

  • Awe, is such an appropiate word...

  • This song is soooooooooooo much fun to play. I go through phases where this is LITERALLY the only song I play and improvise with, and I just play it for weeks. And then I can't stop watching the videos. (Rothbury has the best audio quality, and is probably the best version all around. It has the most intense build up of all the versions)

  • @TheReighnart Pure Love and Light Energy coming from John Butler, through his guitar, to every spirit that takes the time to let it into their Soul. Thank You for this blessing. I also believe the Live Ocean at Paleo Festival is an amazing version to experience!

  • honestly who the fuck cant appreciate 4:58 seconds of pure genius. Might wanna go see a doctor retards

  • get in my bed. now.

  • I listen to this song whenever I'm stressed out.

    I just close my eyes and It calms me instantly.

    Amazing. :)

  • wicked tune love it :)

  • yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah­

  • Its not the performance that blows my mind, its the composition. True brilliance.

  • from 3:30 onwards gave me chills instantly and brought a tear to my eye.. thats when you know its good music..

  • @chrisroome I know what you mean! :)

  • My friend played this song at our talent show and totally made his hands bleed ahaha. It was really good.

  • This is fuucking tremendous i dont usually like fag music but that was amazing

  • why is there 86 dislikes???? 8 l

  • @3iuda3 Justin Bieber fans... Butler is my GOD!

  • whoa.

  • magic fingers...

  • i could listen to him play guitar all bloody day<3

  • I went to see Dave Matthews Band on 11/13 and they were the opening act. This song was AMAZING. It's rose and crashed all over everyone. Magic

  • Need to get this...the like doesn't work anymore...anyone know where I can buy this? Thanks.

  • 86 ppl are straight on their way to hell and have no time for good music...

  • I don't usually say this, but to dislike this song has no foundation whatsoever.....its pure genius and delightful....its just amazing

  • he makes me feel like i know nothing about guitar :L

  • This is awesome. I don't mean "awesome" like "oh yeah, that's pretty cool". I mean truely awesome. The emotion and the pure energy that he put into this song is so great. I wish I could talk to him one on one. I don't play guitar or any instrument, but dang I sure can really appreciate things like this. Even listening to this just makes me happy and I feel less stressed. One last word... wow.

  • everything about him is artistic , even his tatoo :)

    how can someone be this good ... amazing

  • @chemouna

    I would hardly call three lines "artistic", but, agreed.

  • The guys who clicked dislike got tired of clicking like, lmao.

  • When he makes his facial expressions is my favorite because he puts his heart and soul into his music, Thumbs up if you agree!

  • He really lives his music saw him live a month back and his stage presence and impact are just amazing and he played ocean for like 10 minutes was a truelly awesome experience.

  • god i just love him

  • According to orwullie we're not allowed to have different tastes in music.

  • Holy Shit.

  • @YohItsMe93

    It's almost like he lets the song play him, more than the other way around.

  • Took 2 long and hard weeks but i finally finished this song!

  • justin bieber?????????? syet........

  • well, this piece is covered with deep feeling and emotion... great song

  • I dont care how many people dislike this, coz while there missing out and listening to their justin bieber and jasonn derulo, we can listen to the real kickass shit that is john butler

  • sexy

  • they dont teach this on expert village

  • THE BEAST HAS CLAWS!

  • intense. love it.

  • rah!

  • why does everyone have to be the same.

  • How can you not like this ? I listen to it every day, cause it's the most Emotional song I've ever heard.

  • 'like' doesn't quite convey the sense of wonder i feel when i watch john butler performing his art.

  • This song, because of it's pure awesomeness, altered their perception of reality... so they thought up was down, in was out and black was white... so they hit the wrong thumb.

  • @herbienelly53 Impressively creative haha

  • @Quibbleify AND! it somehow got me 36 thumbs up? :P

    Didn't see that coming. lol

  • @herbienelly53 Probs cause it was refreshingly creative. Youtube needs less trolls and more creative peeps like you haha

  • @Quibbleify Haha, Well, I'll accept this compliment and grin like a champ.

    However.. John's the man!

    He's more impressively creative then the stars themselves. This song is both a lullaby AND a Work out song. I play it while I'm in the workshop, I play while I'm chilling in my room.

    Long live John Butler!

  • Et episk instrumentalt nummer skrevet og spillet af John Buttler..

    Dette nummer bliver i øvrigt spillet live og varieret hver gang han optræder med den. =)

  • Stop yelling at the 82 people that clicked dislike, they were obviously too in awe of the beauty of this song and missed the like button

  • Comment removed

  • I could listen to this everyday of my life. Pure music and soul in this piece.

  • poor guitar getting raped but still loves the way getting raped

  • bombed..
