  • 2012 and this is one of my favourite songs

  • 3x5= 15 ! NO 3x5= John Mayer !!!!!

  • 2012 and this is STILL one of my favorite songs..

  • 4th best song in his repertoire, behind In repair, Gravity, and Slow dancing in a burning room. I love all his songs. Great lyricist :) Enjoy all of his songs. If I we're a girl, I'd marry you in a heartbeat. Keep it up.

  • oh john mayer... i'd marry you in a heartbeat baby <3

  • This is the first time I've ever heard the song, and I love John Mayer! I guess I must've discovered him after this album. But I truly can't stop listening to this song.

  • listening to this song is like having an auditory orgasm..

  • @PaintMeInSunshine My thoughts exactly.

  • Favorite song of all time

  • what a freaking genius song writer!

  • the room for squares album got me through a very rough depression two winter's back. thanks john mayer(:

  • favorite by far :))) good work mate!

  • It's like when you're in a beautiful place and all the turds around you are too busy taking pictures to realize the wonder of it all. Put the cameras down and let it flow through you! Strange that clouds that look like mountains in the sky are next to mountains anyway!! I also love the acoustic guitar tracks laying a solid groove. He didn't dilute that groove at the 20 second break starting @ 2:35 with any lead or melody. Nice touch :-)

  • This song let's people understand what nature on the in and out "side" is like and it has feeling, it has love, it has true heart. I mean isnt that what john was born for?Music!Ya know what I'm just trying to say, I'm trying to say this song was meant for understanding things, like seeing the world, not through some camera but through human eye's your eye's.

  • I FREAKIN LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVV­VVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE THIS SONG MAN IT MAKES ME CRY!!!

  • *DIES* I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • I LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEE­EE THIS SONG ITS MY FAV... if i ever met John I'd be so exsited i might faint or my heart would just pump faster then the speed of light man, seriously dude i would iam not freakin lying iam not the 1 u come 2 for a lie

  • whats the meaning in this song of 3x5s??

  • @mollet09 A 3x5 is a picture size. You know how when you get your pictures from a digital camera developed you have different options for the size? Well, 3x5 is the standard dimensions of most pictures. He's saying he wasn't so concerned with capturing a moment but he decided to EXPERIENCE the moment and whoever he's writing to will only be able to experience it with him when they go out instead of seeing photos of where he's been. Makes sense?

  • @ShadesAndBoots yes! i just figured it out after posting it, but thanks anyway!

  • My heart is on fire.

  • Orgasmic.

  • I never realized how stupid people were until I started to read the comments on youtube.. Just enjoy the song =)

  • @johnnylarkin OMG this^ I attached these lyrics to my english project because it was about our dream and i want to be a photographer and see the wonders of this world for myself. and he asked me what 3x5's were and thought they were rims -_-

  • To michael!

  • Wow umm yeah you are calling someone u dont know a hoe. Get off my ass.

  • i really love jm.

  • @nina1dee its john mayer, hoe

  • @crapolaist Um yeah? Ik it is? U are a fat nasty pervert. U dont even deserve to listen to JM! Gosh i hate u.

  • @nina1dee im not fat, nasty or a pervert... and you hate someone you dont know? wow you have a life

    you suck... go kill yourself lol

  • I miss the old John Mayer! He does not write music like this anymore. Please stop dating celebrities and write good music again.

  • I feel like John Mayer is beyond underrated and he's an amazing musician and artist. His lyrics paints so many pictures in my mind

  • @BrokeAndLazy He has that effect on women.

    

  • @johnnylarkin If by Postal Picures you're refering to Post Cards I don't think thats 100% correct. Actually 3x5 refers to the size of pictures you normally receive after having film developed at a place like Walgreens or CVS.

  • he's telling everyone to stop looking at pictures and videos like you are doing right now and gtfos

  • ,if im writting something wrong im sorry im from argentina and i wanted to ask something toyou people. i saw in the movie love happens that jennifer anniston kept all the little cards that people send with the flowers and she said :your life on a 3x5 or something like that and she was talking about the little cards, so john mayer is talking about a size of pictures or about that cards?

  • Have you really listened and felt the loss of connectedness in the song's lyrics?? I think that is perfectly underscored by the whimsical nature of the driving melody. This sound speaks of long distance relationships spent with one partner stationary and the other trippin around from place to place and sharing they on the road experience through 3x5 pictures. Polaroids. Remember those? Just a great song.

  • this is definitely one of my favorite songs-- the lyrics the music. it's just so...i can't even describe it with words. just wonderful.

  • thumbs up if think the dislike button means hateing button lmfao !

  • 2011 and this is still one of my favorite songs

  • @cmccusker10 john mayer's my favourite song.

  • @cmccusker10 your just so out there !! mad cunt..

  • Anyone ever heard this when he does t with Wale? I was pretty skeptical at first,but it wasn't half bad

  • i listened to this song during my entire trip in california these past few weeks. ahh memories <3

  • JOHN MAYER VC É O CARA !

  • only song missing in "into the wild"

  • @pedrosv your so right man lol i give you a thumbs up for that

  • This John Mayers favourite song hes ever written, lyrically its so profound, my dick gets so hard it bleeds for hours. . .

  • @solidheir

    haha. my dick has never bled, but it is my fav John Mayer song.

  • Lyrics look great! This is one of those rare "lyrics" videos that is actually pleasant to watch. Excellent job!

  • listening thin brought me back to life

  • i really love this song <3 its really calming and i love the lyrics :)

  • If David Grohl was God, John Mayer would be his Son.

  • 46 people still send 3x5's

  • @smile2081 i hate those dumb comments. no. 46 people dont still send 3x5's, 46 people just dont like the song. get over it.

  • @xxdadyzgrl96xx its a joke. so you can get over that.

  • @xxdadyzgrl96xx 7 people like this comment

  • @xxdadyzgrl96xx I guess we know SOMEONE that still sends 3x5s.

  • i love nick jonas C: solo me gusta esta cnacion por nick C:

  • Every time I hear this song I feel like I'm sitting in my car in between classes during college with my ipod. Well that actually did happen. I didn't really become a John Mayer fan until summer/fall 2008 when I randomly decided to listen to some of his albums and I loved them. And so that fall when school started, I would go out in my car in between classes and listen to them on my ipod. This song was one of my favorites.

  • all time best singer no if, ands, or buts

  • This song "brought me back." Spent my life receiving 3x5's. It's true. The music, his words, it's amazing.

  • This was the very first song i ever listened to by John Mayer. Then i fell in love with his music and he's been my favorite. No one'll ever be as good. (:

  • If u like the Mayer song 'Quiet', u should check my cover of the song :-)

    thanks!

  • lol i like john mayer but this....song....is...terrible.­...i...think....his....other..­..ones....are....better....tha­n.....this. lol if u disagree with that statement u are retarded. 'slow dancing in a burning room' and 'tracing' are 2 of my favorites. amazing.

  • @keadie even though john mayer says himself he thinks its one of his best songs. so your fuckin retarded

  • @keadie

    Well i don't know what's up with the constant "..." that is plane weird. If you were to have said "if you disagree with that statement, that's your opinion" but you didn't you said "you are retarded"... now listen here kiddo, loving a song is all about opinion, and nobody can force you to like something you don't, but from a technical point of view this song is great! Great instrumentals and great lyrics - specially the theme of the song is wonderfully originial!

  • my parents found a john mayer room for squares album in a rental car when i was little and played it alll the time. this song takes me back so much..its literally like hearing my childhood. and i still love john mayer.. in fact i will always love him! his music is so beautiful<3

  • looooove him

  • My cousin directed me to this and said "Listen to the reason of my existence" and you know what? After all, she wasn't wrong at all. JohnMayerForever<3 <- That should be my name.

  • My college choir just sang this for the concert... love this song, and Mayer!

  • 15

  • John Mayer= Amazing Lyrics!!

  • If only Mr. Mayer had an I phone back then :)

  • ***

  • hey, listen to this song whlie looking at this video:

    /watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI

    this song is made for that video lol

  • This is such a beautiful song!

  • the audio is visually strong...like a hallucinogen...just listening to the song can give me the experience of a walk on the beach, a sunrise, rains..........

  • If you love Mayer like I do.. Check out Don Klein's "See You Go"... He's pretty amazing

  • this song is utterly beautiful. ♥

  • Deceptive Cadence. I would think so

  • I don't even like John Mayer that much, but this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

  • Comment removed

  • I get a weird feeling of similarity between this and Split Screen Sadness.

  • Goose-fucking-bumps, man!!!! Am I gay for getting so emotional when I listen to this song?!?

  • @dgmoura2302  yea......

  • @dgmoura2302 nope you let music touch you thats not gay

  • @johnnylarkin but what does it refer to?

  • @smlshaker what this entire song means, is that he doesn't want to tell you about it, he wants to bring someone he loves with him because its too beautiful write it down or tell them what it was like.. thats what john mayer said himself...

  • he is probly the best guitarist/musician/songwriter or this century.

  • I BRING A CEASE TO THE FIGHTING BETWEEN JOHN MAYER AND THE JONAS BROTHERS......................­..........what do you mean its friggen stopped? I want war D:

  • I don't get the title

  • I'm in love with this!!!

  • the chorus is just amazing his voice is beautiful no matter whos listening

  • this song was lightyears ahead of the rest of the songs on first cd

  • the part where he sings; didn't have a camera by my side this time, hoping i would see the world with both my eyes. That part is just so good. I've known this song since the release of Room for Squares, and still i keep loving it. It's his best album in my opinion.

  • 45 people need to some 3x5s

  • Ths is the greatest song I've ever heard written about a piece of 3x5 wood.

    Or have I misinterpreted the title? :P

  • @llewdebkram bro... wait till you hear kie$has cover of "2 x 4"

  • Give me more three by fives, if that makes me able to listen to this amazing song all day!!

  • I THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SOMETIMES SAYING AYOOO...

    Shut the fuck up and listen to John Mayer.

  • @P0YSiN dude, you rock.

  • @P0YSiN I don't like that song at all..But yes John Mayer is great. lol.

  • @P0YSiN thank you! if someone tells me that Taio Cruz song is good music I will smack the shit out of them.

  • the difference between john mayer and jonas brothers is that john's music can be apreciated both by people who just enjoy mellow music and people who actually know about writing lyrics and music... this last thing doesn't happend with fuckin' jonas brothers.

  • who cares! If the fans of the jonas brothers like john mayer?! people can like any kind of music and who are u guys to tell them not to like it? i like the jonas brothers in your face just shut up and listen to the amazing man singing 3x5 k?!

  • so peopl are mad becuse jonas has good taste lol

  • Hey everybody please check out the new song i wrote and my band recorded...it is called "You're My Air" and its up on our channel!

  • fuck kevin jonas. john mayer is awesome

  • who's kevin jonas?

  • @jonatan9505 thats what i named my penis 

  • Comment removed

  • haha amazin how some people get annoyed by jo bros fans just listenin to john mayer, i mean, if you don`t like somebody else listenin to your favorite music, then you`re just nuts (: haha and by the way i love both jo bros and mayer but i didn`t started listenin mayer because of the Jonas :P so get out of your mind that all the teen fans that mayer has, are because of JB (:

  • @liivetOparty why would all his fans because of the Jonas Brother's? John Mayer has been around for 10 years and has 7 Grammy's Im pretty sure people just listen to him because he makes amazing music!!! and btw the jonas brothers dont have any where near the musical talent John does when comes to guitar playing singing or songwritting, the jonas bro's are famous because disney channel found something that they could market to young girls and make money off of.

  • this is my favorite song.

    its true somethings you just cant capture in a picture,

    you have to see them for yourslef.

  • I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE JO BRO FANS FOR LIKING HIM!!! ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!­!!!! dont you have a jonas brother to go stalk or something?

  • @PeaceLoveTreesMusic hahaha I agree, the jo bro's are terrible, I cant see how they sell cd's, I read that they had to cancel over half of there summer tour because of lack of interest, they canceled all the shows near where I lived, they even marked down tickets to $5 and people still didnt buy them, they are a fad thats becoming not as cool as it was for kids 2 years ago.

  • @PeaceLoveTreesMusic I'm a Jonas Brothers Fan. But i liked John Mayer before i liked the Jo Bros. if you like john mayer. it shouldnt matter if people like jonas bros and John Mayer. sooo why even bother?

    it just shows how immature people are. not all the jo bro fans like john mayer it just depends on your style of music. im so sick of hearing about how much people hate the jonas brothers because they like john mayer. WHO CARES?!

  • This is a fantastically-written song. John Mayer said something along the lines of, "This is a better song that I can write. Anyone could have written it, but I'm glad it ended up being me." Interesting...

  • I DIDNT HAVE A CAMERAAAAAAAAAAAA BY MY SIDE THIS TIME <3 HOPING I WOULD SEE THE WORLD WITH BOTH MY EYESSSSSSS MAYBE I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT WHEN IM IN THE MOOD TO LOSE MY WAY BUT LET ME SAY YOU SHOULDDDDDDDDD HAVEEEEEE SEEEEEEN THAT SUNRISEEEEEE WITH YOUR OWNNNNNN EYESSSSS IT BROUGHTTTTT ME BACK TO LIFEEE <3 soundtrack to my lifeeeeeeee

  • I'm here because of john mayer's feature on wale's song "letter"

    john mayer has an awesome voice. he really added a good point to wale's song :)

  • There is nothing wrong with people who listen to 'the jonas brothers' or whoever covered this sob, listening to John. There just has to be some respect for his other music...john mayer doesn't just sing one song. do all of us a favor and listen to all his songs from the 'room for squares' album. then maybe you'll know what kevin jonas looks like compared to john mayer, in our eyes :)

  • jonas brothers dick ride john fuk them

  • John mayer is a musical genious he has so much soul in his voice and he is a very funny guy. i wanna meet him so much <3

  • Why does it matter if people like the Jonas Brothers and John Mayer? just get over it, and enjoy the music. Jeez.

  • I just got this album today, it is so awesome!

  • this is definitely one of john's more underrated songs. actually one of my favorites

  • you should have seen that sunrise

    idkay why but that line is so simply great

  • @XxjuicebagxX it sounds good

  • the point is kevin is making him look bad.

    and kevin IS gay ...he's one of the biggest fags in the world.

    i fuckin hate when terrible musicians cover songs from good artists.

    kevin isnt even a musician he's just a fucking fag.

    thats not ignorance its just the truth.

    the jonas bro's suck eachothers dicks.

    none of them are musicians .. ther fans are all 12 yearold girls that dont know anything about music

  • @25Ragz Kevin did nothing to him. He said the first song he ever learned to play was 3 x 5 on a guitar- that's all.

    He's not gay? He's married.. He's been married for over half a year.

    It's not like they sang this song.

    He's defined as a musician- He plays guitar and piano.

    Maybe thats your opinion, whatever.

    Not really. I know many fans who are within the age of 16-20 as well as a 30 year old fan also.

  • Comment removed

  • @25Ragz Actually, Some young girls can have quite good taste in music, not all of them like justin beiber or the jonas brothers, Also, dont use the word fag as an insult as theres nothing wrong with being gay Oh and hasnt Kevin been married to a WOMAN for like a year now?

  • @Sara7991 Im not going to put any musicians down because I respect all musicians even if I dont care for their music, like the Jonas Brother's I cant stand their music, and I think they kinda do act a little prancy but thats not for me to say, but I think the jonas brother are more based for young kids and tweens that watch disney channel, where as John Mayer made strictly off his musical abilty and lyric's, John Mayer is a different caliber of musician than anybody off the disney channel.

  • Comment removed

  • @musicdude195 Yea I know what you mean, I dont like any of those kinds of music. It was the way he made the comment that made it seem like the only types of music that younger girls listen to is like disney channel music which is untrue

  • kevin jonas is a faggot.

  • @25Ragz uhhh no kevin jonas is not a faggot whoo do u think u aree?!! lmaoo

  • @25Ragz You are a faggot for insulting someone over the internet, bad enough not knowing the person, and showing absolutely no respect towards that person when they have done nothing to you. If you like John doesn't mean you should hate Kevin, it doesn't make you a better fan, it just makes you look ignorant. Second, don't use the word 'faggot' as an insult, because being Gay isn't wrong and it makes you look like a bastard.

  • @thtzttlykewl no, everything he said is pretty much true.

  • this song is AMAZING when u listen to it first thing in the morning :)

  • You people all need to grow up!! who cares if more people listen to it cuz it's Kevin's favorite song?!?! John Mayer is getting more fans because of it so just be glad for that! You all came here to listen to John Mayer so listen to John Mayer!! Personally, I came here to see WHY it's Kevin's favorite song and I fell in love with it...And John Mayer! I didn't come here to see fights about the JoBros!! Just drop it kay

  • this song makes me feel mellow as a marshmellow to bad i dont smoke weed haha

  • @gdawgc311 shame on you:P God didnt make such a wonderful plant for us just to waste:) hehe

  • john mayer is incredible.

    he explained my feelings about cameras and nature and packed into one awesome song.

    what a legend.

  • people need to stop judging other how would u feel if ever little thing u did wrong was blown up and broadcast for the world to see an judge u on it how long would u last living like that

  • THIS SONG GIVES ME ORGASMS.

  • People...it's just his clever way of not wanting to use the cliche word of "picture", and instead uses the size of it (3x5), and wants you guys...his fans...to understand how original he is.

  • He's talking about a postcard, not a picture.

  • @calliefornia91 Same thing...he's doesn't say picture or postcard in the song. So either way my comment is right. Thanks for clarifying though.

  • Comment removed

  • 3X5 is the size of a postcard! If yall listen to the song you can tell that is what he is talking about!

  • Oh John Mayer how amazing are you!!!!

    This is most certainly my new favourite song of yours.. sooooooo amazing it gives me butterflies

  • Looove this song!!! Looking forward to see him live! :)

    But I've never understood, what 3x5 means?

  • @amandavinther93 I think it means the size of a postcard.

  • @amandavinther93 its the size of a picture.

    hence the references about "trying to fit the world inside a picture frame", "didn't have a camera by my side" etc :)

  • @amandavinther93 Hey.. I've always thought of it as like A picture frame... you know 3in. by 5in. Just me... :)

  • Ever feel like u have to explain the same thing to each of your gf/bf's even though their different people but the same concept? Its like sometimes u feel as if nobody understands u, but u make perfect sense? too long to explain sorry. This song relaxes me..

  • haha whoa.. read some comments... people need to CHILL! haha Listen to the song... kinda missing the point of the song aren't you?? haha :D

  • this isn't just "kevin jonas's favorite song" it's also "john mayer's favorite of his songs". he sings it at every concert. <3

  • no he doesnt...im 16 and a true john mayer fanatic. ive gone to 5 of his concerts. and he hasnt played it in any of them and the last one i went to in minneappolis, i brought a sign that said play 3x5 and he was like wow, i havent played that in forever and he still didnt play it.

  • @Kellyboohiglet he played it at the three i went to... he usually plays it in a medley.

  • i'm really in love with john mayer lol he's so amazing

  • i like john mayer. probably the only black kid in my school who knows him. but its w.e love music and he is fucking good

  • one of my favorites. <3

  • this is nice and John Mayer mayer is a good artist but I like the cover by the Infamous Stringdusters better.
