John Mayer - Something's Missing

[TheLovelyl0la]

"How come everything I think I need

Always comes with batteries

What do you think it means? "

true story :))

[CaritaDae]

@TheLovelyl0la Probably the way new gadgets come out and people get hung up on having the latest everything. The new Iphone, ipad, droid....whatever.

[ariitacb1]

Something's missing

And I don't know how to fix it

[ohlookabeer]

...check. :)

[babamarktesoro]

John Mayer... Check... Orgasm...Check... this song rocks...Check...

[sundayblonde]

i seriously doubt this has anything to do with religion more likely to do with existentialist philosophy or soul mates. i think its clear from john mayers other songs* that he is not a christian but that doesnt mean he is not a good person,

*comfortable "she says the bible is all she reads and prefers i don't use profanities"

[Cbluesrocker]

John... I've felt like something has been missing for quite some time. Through extensive research, i would find your statement in the Bold as Love live in LA video true. Love is the answer. But love from our Creator is the only completely filling love. I pray you find it coz i'm just re-experiencing it myself. :)

[rgl3ma57]

this song is the song for the feeling where something just isnt right. you have your friends, you have your hobbies, you have your lover but something just doesn't feel right. its such a weird feeling and this song fits it perfectly, god i love john mayer!

[dzeniixo]

listening to this, makes me feel, not alone

[obunkystaind]

@dzeniixo hmm.

[xXximamusicloverxXx]

idgaf if john mayer is christian and idgaf if you're a christian and it shouldn't matter if i'm a christain. JUST LISTEN TO THE SONGGGGGG.

[RorytheRoman14]

allow the religion debate. shut the fuck up and listen to mayer.

[WestFOLax23]

its ok, god isnt real.

[halofan38]

@WestFOLax23 for you

[JJBGLK]

We're never gonna beat this if belief is what we're fighting for.

[11snuggle]

Fuck god. I pray to john mayer!

[MarquiseOfHearts]

So...I can assume that all you that are saying that what's missing is Jesus are happy healthy people that never feel empty inside or down?

[Cbluesrocker]

I won't force my beliefs upon anybody because it is your choice as to what you believe. I believe in love though. I believe that Jesus Christ showed the ultimate source of love by dying on the cross. I'm not saying anybody needs to go be a Christian to be happy but all i know is. 20 minutes ago i was sad, depressed, and something was missing. I experienced God in the last 20 minutes and i've never felt so alive. I pray that you will find that John. If not, that is your choice. I choose to love.

[ruairidh122993]

yes something is missing john. A FREAKING FILTER TO KEEP PEOPLE LOOKING TO ARGUE ABOUT RELIGION AWAY FROM YOUTUBE.

[str8balllin69]

theres a john song for every mood im in..love it

[Melissajoe816]

gotta love that mixed chord that dangles at the end of the phrase... groovy.

[Sabberlyn12345]

All true song writers write from their heart, even though it is to sometimes help fans through their troubles. That being said, John Mayer and all celebs could have just about anything they want in this world, but nothing in this world is gonna last forever. Our soul tells us that "Something's Missing" but our flesh tells us we just need to fill the voids in our life with worldly trash. When you have all you want in the world, you then realize that "Something's Missing" and it is Jesus :)

[906tech]

If you dont side with a religious person, you are wrong. apparently

[lucasjones19]

Absolutely great song.. Have a listen to our wonderfuls melodies and notes: Lucid 'Behind the Clouds' & 'The Second Hand'?

[crapolaist]

BEST SONG EVER!!!!! amazing

[charismatist]

Friends -check, money -check, a well slept -check, opposite sex -check, guitar -check, microphone -check, messages waiting for me when I come home -check.

[beartrax85]

Can't wait till his next album comes out!

[Ih8theus]

To those who wonder what is missing: its the awareness of the self, not the false image of self created by the mind, but that which is aware of all things and is infinite and without form.

[justwannabecloser]

man oh man. haven't heard this song in ages! still phenomenal! :)

[eiwill1988]

everthing i think i need always comes with batteries...... thats what she said lol

john mayer is a beast!!!

[XIXTHRAHSER69]

Another great music masterpiece.

[pwnernoob9]

i did a cover of this on drums, great song

[crapolaist]

WHO OR WHAT IS MISSING?

[MrBoogaloo23]

@crapolaist LOVE my friend . . .

[xoe1988]

@crapolaist his Phone

[jokacho21]

@crapolaist believe it or not, he may think his life is boring =(

[razvanvz]

the intro sounds like Andy Timmons

[michaelgabel96]

jack johnson + john mayor = to much musical talent to handle

[eiwill1988]

@michaelgabel96 ill have to listen to this jack johnson he better be good if u are comparing him to john mayer

[eiwill1988]

@eiwill1988 never mind the 1s i just listened to werent very good what are some song by him that are good?

[eady08]

@eiwill1988 how dont you know who jack johnson is?!? Hes easily as famous as mayer.

[eiwill1988]

@eady08 i wish i would have hes great!!!!

[johanmandal]

@eiwill1988 hes good, soft, mellow, inspiring :)

[Stefandurrr]

@michaelgabel96 John's on a while other level. He's a superior songwriter and musician.

[ViVaLaMoyo]

@michaelgabel96 i always bring them up together, jack johnson - never know and john mayer - gravity; that makes for a the ultimate setlist

[smile2081]

compared to john mayer, every other artist sucks

[utubebighead]

anybody remember another song called SOMETHINGS MISSING .......it has lyrics like........i don`t feel at home, so i`ve got to roam, to find an answer in my life....somethings missing, girl.

[TheAngelJC]

@stillanego You quoted Adi Da so i could say the same to you that you said to @Nites21 about who people claimed him to be.

[kileykileymileyrocks]

is not about religion or who knows the most, is about getting to know the one and only God!! enjoy the music, and if you feel like something is missing just talk to God about it and I am sure that He will answer you when the time is right.

[Nites21]

@death1cab141cutie We are not marketing our beliefs. We are sharing about a person. We have experienced a very personal, very loving, and very FULFILLING Jesus Christ, and we don't want JM or anyone else to miss out. JM couldn't be more clear that he's not satisfied with all the money, sex, fame, etc. he's ever wanted. I've tried the things the world has to offer, and I agree with JM: something's missing without a relationship with Christ. Heard of Johnny Lang? Check out his song "Only a Man"

[stillanego]

@Nites21 Would you be happy if you found out he became a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist? Probably not. Most christians I know, their minds are so small and unevolved they think that God has a chosen few or a special secret way to know Him. When will you all cut out that shit and realise that this universe is ONE. God is Love, therefore Love is God. Not a certain person with a beard. As the great teacher Adi Da once said 'LOVE is all the God damn God there is'. :)

[Nites21]

@stillanego God is love. Totally agree: "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). He sent Jesus to be a demonstration of His love and not in any "secret special way." He very publicly died. He very publicly came back to life. And he very publicly claimed He was and is the Son of God. You've got three options here: You decide if Jesus is a liar, a maniac, or exactly who He says He is.

[stillanego]

@Nites21 Don't you mean, who the writers of the bible claim him to be? If I quoted some other book to you now, would it bring us any closer to the historical Truth? I get 'feeling the Divine' and I respect that. I just cannot grasp why people have to then presume that what they felt must prove that the book they were taught about when they were little kids in school is literally true. Lapsed Muslims who have spiritual experiences become devout Muslims, not Christians. Ever wondered why?

[Nites21]

@stillanego Familiar with the Iliad? Out of all ancient books, it has the second most manuscript copies: 643. And the first? The New Testament with 24,000 manuscript copies. The external and internal consistency, the archaeological, historical, and prophetical evidence, and the exactness on human nature of the Bible are all absolutely astonishing. I challenge you to look into the evidences for the HISTORICAL writings of the Bible if even for 5 minutes. You might find it's not just "some book."

[Nites21]

@Nites21 By the way, I did not grow up Christian. Jesus wrecked my life in the most beautiful way about two years ago. I don't deserve it, but He pours out His love anyway.

[carterswi]

@Nites21 I know Jesus!!! he sells weed at UCR the guy has got the best hook up ever! /end silly religious conversation.

[Nites21]

@carterswi Sorry man, I care about your soul, about your life too much to not talk about it.

[Alcarpediem]

What's missing?? GOD! Why can't he see that he is missing Jesus Christ in his life?! Praying for JM....

[jamielowndes]

LMAO at people saying he needs Jesus. Come on guys.

[AuroraClaire94]

@jamielowndes There is no reason to laugh at people who say that, but okay. This is a beautiful song and his lyrics are honest- we will always feel like something's missing unless we have Him in our lives. But whatever. Continue mocking if that's really what makes you happy.

[jamielowndes]

@AuroraClaire94 It is a beautiful song. But it sounds unbelievably pretentious (not to mention offensive to every other religion) to say that you need to become Christian to be happy.

[AuroraClaire94]

@jamielowndes I didn't say that. I said the true source of happiness is from our Creator. I'm not trying to be pretentious I'm just sharing what I believe in my heart to be true.

[samuigohan]

@AuroraClaire94 you mean 'Creators', mommy and daddy?

[AuroraClaire94]

@samuigohan No.

[Coldmouth2121]

@AuroraClaire94 The true source of happiness is from chemical reactions within our brains.. There is no "creator" to thank for it..

[ThomasintheMind]

@jamielowndes You need Jesus.



[jamielowndes]

@ThomasintheMind I don't need Jesus. Nobody needs Jesus. If you are a person of Christian faith and you are happy with your life, then that is good for you. There are many roads to happiness. Everyone has their own.

[ThomasintheMind]

@jamielowndes Sure

[LeonsFury]

@jamielowndes dude those are fake roads, i think you are atheist, i used to be and found a way better road in the path of catholicism/christianism. you should try.

[jamielowndes]

@LeonsFury Is Catholicism the one with all the paedophile priests? I'll carry on without it. And its pretty amusing that a member of one religion claims all other religions are false.

[rayraymoo8]

@jamielowndes Im replying to say we all need jesus no matter what anybody say. He is our only need. How about looking at what Jesus has done for everyone. The thing that John is missing is God. We all some where, no matter how we try to keep it out of our head, we are missing something and that thing is called God.

[jamielowndes]

@rayraymoo8 Spare me your cult worship crap.

[rayraymoo8]

@jamielowndes If you know anything about True Christians, which it seems you don't, I and any other Christians that read the bible can not do that cause this is what I'm suppose to do. If you take a chance to get to know God, you may change that decision. Yes you would be an out cast and may get picked on, but I love it cause I know I'm doing the right thing for my loving savior that is always their. We love because he loved us first. So no I will not spare you. This is my job as a desciple.

[planetdancerkh]

@rayraymoo8 shut the F up and listen to the music! sheeze!!!

[rayraymoo8]

@planetdancerkh You just don't understand!! What so ever!! All you ever do is listen, but just listen!!

[Stefandurrr]

@rayraymoo8 Fellow Christian here. I think it's nice that you're reaching out, but this isn't the way to evangelize. You are creeping out more people than you're helping.

[rayraymoo8]

@Stefandurrr I know, I know. Its just that I've been having a hard time with all the fake christian's. I'm realizing this in my school and its hard being the only believer in my class and nearly the only in the school. That's all

[kileykileymileyrocks]

its Jesus:) once you meet Him you have everything!

[ominous450]

@kileykileymileyrocks I agree! :)

[stillanego]

@kileykileymileyrocks What did he look like when you met him?

[kileykileymileyrocks]

@stillanego He is so incredible and beautiful and powerful and amazing that you dont need to see Him, just feel Him:) He loves you sooo much, try to talk to Him:)

[Nites21]

It's Christ and the fullness of life that comes from Him.

[ashleyljackson3]

only music y'all..

[carterswi]

@ashleyljackson3 music for a large majority of the world is the most powerful thing on Earth, cultures use it to tell stories, teach and pass down tradition, some people use it as an escape and an emotional outlet/inlet and some people even use it as a soundtrack to their life. To most people music is life.

[distortedentropy]

@carterswi I agree with most of this, but I think the vast majority of people don't think music is life. It is for me though :)

[NoamRealMadrid]

john mayer is too good for me

[KimandMatt1]

I love this song

[teatimecreams]

Somethings Missssingggggggggggggggggggggg ......and thats Boo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Aquashkhar]

I think I don't really like John Mayer, but then again I don't really know him. So I started listening to his music, DAMN.

[raspberry3224]

I don't know how anyone could not like John Mayer., because personally I LOVE John Mayer

[jpottty364]

the fender strat was made for him



[lenaa09]

you know, i used to love john mayer, but now im OBSESSED with him, love him it's not enough, i ADORE him. he's the best musician i have ever listen to.

[SupernalOne]

@lenaa09

Yes, Mayer is mostly particularly lyrical, sweet, dreamy, insightful - all good, I never tire of listening to his music

[MsRoro27]

Song is awesome can jus listen to it over m over.. Very much like..

[kisulik777]

i love how the promoted video on the right says "freds moms missing" haha

[romy0821]

never get tired oh this song!!

 Just Awasome...

[nesselegant08]

this is made by a genius...

[I66Mhz]

8 people are missing

[frankie19506]

i agree with the missing thing being God but john mayer probably found God along the way while making more of his music i think he's one of the most talented artists but since ignorant music is taking over now he is being down graded to ignorance it just goes to show how we human beings are dentined to fail with out Gods intervention.

[jlha85]

@frankie19506 I think faith in humanity is what it's about more...and at this point in his career, I think it's more about growing up and finding your way.

[bedeesey]

@frankie19506 speaking about this god thing like you know something actually makes you look ignorant, to say the least.

[FreaquedeMusique]

That Hammond solo is just bone chilling. It fits the song perfectly!

I love Hammond organs!



[bigfatcahoonas]

@FreaquedeMusique if you want to hear a seriously cool Hammond solo listen to Voice of Rose by The Scott Brunger Band

[1156511]

John, what you're missing is God...

[kingofqwerty]

@1156511 how do you know he's not missing herp derp?

[SethAY68]

is the intro played with a strat?

[o2903]

@SethAY68

It's a...."halfstrat"?

Telecaster body, with strat setup.. I smell some piezo too

[thejussme]

Something's missing in my life & it's me not waking up to John Mayer playing his guitar naked in my bed..

[rockstarr143able]

eww

[JacobAK1]

@thejussme lol

[dphn90210]

@thejussme uhhhhh dot dot dot

[oyametalicusII]

@thejussme play the guitar naked beside me, then :D

[kashmir053]

@thejussme uh...

as much as i love this comment, it kinda creeps me out. o-o;

[MacDaddyTheo]

@bowiehs I think that every time I hear this, well put bro

[842AM]

Watch the live-versions, not as lame as this shit.

[18sux29rox]

@842AM this isnt shit, shit is what you see when you look in the mirror.

[842AM]

@18sux29rox Well, that and nascar.

[18sux29rox]

@842AM you really see shit in the mirror? I was just joking. and nascar is something that youll never really know it  until to go to a race.

[842AM]

@18sux29rox I was joking, as well. Idiot. What, what have I missed? Going to a racetrack and watch people drive? I do that every day, when I go to school. RetaRdDdD

[18sux29rox]

@842AM You drive 200 mph with 750 horsepower with a 3400 pound car?

[bowiehs]

John is my favorite musical artist, what he is missing is Jesus. Not a religious statement, its the truth.

[breachmania]

@bowiehs What?

[Flash447]

@bowiehs true:)

[bboooobbyy]

@bowiehs That is a religious statement and its a matter of opinion, not truth

[bowiehs]

@bboooobbyy No it is not a religious statement, Jesus taught against religion. It is a true statement, nothing can fill you but Jesus. Try him.

[bboooobbyy]

@bowiehs Sounds kinda fruity, I'll pass

[ledbeatle96]

what a damn good bridge! god it gives me the chillzzzzzz

[MattyFingersify]

anybody know the effects he uses on his guitar for this song?

[nmat3]

@MattyFingersify probably reverb and delay

[dashfront21]

@MattyFingersify dont know for sure, but i think it's just his fender on a bright channel, or the tone knob to a bright position, plus some delay and lots of reverb

[TheJimboRules]

Just realized, there ain't a damn thing 'missing' from this song....Thanks JohnBoy

[ohjohnushouldnthave]

i love that in every song he puts himself within the masses. he never tries to break away from humanity. he's always so human. (if that makes any sense)

[elabella9559]

John, you are a musical genius. You deserve all good things that come your way. <33

[StarLight16]

This song breaks my heart. I love it. <3

[MissPaulaaaaa]

John, I love you

[Changoleon1100]

I feel like Jesus is the only one who can take away his loneliness and fill that emptiness in his heart..

[cristiano4music]

This music is so good!

[Cbluesrocker]

"how come everything i think i need always comes with batteries?" That is beautiful!

[ledbeatle96]

its songs like this that show his true genius, too bad they aren't as famous and then he goes and plays taylor swift songs at the end of concerts instead of ones like this :(

[karininrepair]

i actually think that im missing everything not something :(

[LoveIsMyWeapon91]

You know your amazing when your songs are 5min..

[unwrittengurl1]

mmmm, this song is incredible live. once he gets to the "friends, money," part tears came to my eyes.

[SCARENCRO]

@tahbonius I'm 15 and I just learned it yesterday I'm thinkin about puttin a cover on so check my channel every once and a while

[SCARENCRO]

@joe0629 go fuck urself

[margo667]

He looks cool. Nice album cover. 

[IdRatherBinADream92]

I think he's missing love. That's always just what people need^_^.To be in love.

[someDRUNKayy]

I'm about to kill 6 motherfuckers.

[maryam7894]

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries

What do you think it means...

[surphingR4me]

@maryam7894

i don't it's anything sexual.

it just means that everything that is good in his life doesn't last, and he always has to find something new.

[felipeskau]

PERFECT ! I LOVE THIS SONG , AND ALL SONGS JOHN MAYER .
