Waiting On The World To Change

[frozencokes]

hehe 1.58

[NagizOasis]

こっちのジョンもやっぱりいいね。

素晴らしい音楽は廃れないぜ！

[fallingwatersnz]

Youtube needs a loop button.... Copy and paste this to other video's and hopefully youtube will give the people what they want.

[tashianoka]

UVERのTAKUYA∞のブログ見て来ました

普段洋楽聞かないけど

この曲イィですね

心が落ち着く

[MrMischief101]

This song is great. Sings what going on in the WORLD!!!!!

[siLystanLy]

ill never get sick of this!!! priceless??...timeless!!!!

[alukoe]

want to see cover

[bigfatdick5000]

what happened to him.... like when this album came out.... he changed so much from before...like his voice and his style got more *mature* ?

maybe he 's faking his voice ...dunno...

[MindlessGeneration]

@bigfatdick5000

How do you exactly fake a voice?? But I completely agree that it's changed, he became alot more Blues/R'n'B oriented with Continuum.

[bluesy007]

@MindlessGeneration and i like the change :D

[eden5675]

i love john mayer

[VideoKiwi2008]

John Mayer = good talent

[r4co1]

Wow.. So uplifting...

[mthai66]

Would be a good song if it wasn't a complete rip off of "People Get Ready"

[randomquotage]

@mthai66 what's wrong with an homage? Look at The Offspring's "Why don't you get a job", it's an homage to the Bealtes "obla di obla da", but that makes it no less of a good song.

[Lolzrs789]

21st century hippies

[Lolzrs789]

good song but illegal stuff in video

[KGC04]

try reading the very end

[Brendan140193]

I didn't spot anything illegal. What did you find?

[ShahnamPersia]

Love the song, but world changes to what? To an ideal world? but my ideal world is diff than some1 else and so on! Every1 talks about change, but no one knows what change is! Lets say, no more Poverty, but is that really possible? NO. not everyone in this world can be rich and live in a mansion, and if we ALL did, then "rich" would be the new "poor" and new words would be created to describe those who are above rich

Poverty, War, Violence $ Hatred has always been with humanity and always will!

[KGC04]

man dont go ruining the feel good vibe

[ShahnamPersia]

I'm just being realistic...

[TeronRoland]

@ShahnamPersia everyone would have a home at least bro, definiton of a word doesn't matter, reality is what matters.

[randomquotage]

@ShahnamPersia everything you say is completely correct, however that doesn't mean we should be like "well fuck it, poverty's always gonna be there, let's leave it as is."

[TheJygen]

this song rocks and in tribute to it i went out about a year ago and hit up my town with the same hit ups they use in the video =)

[guitarsoulman]

this guy rocks...love this song

[rarwwentthemouse]

never gets old this song has so much soul to it i could listen to it 24/7 i think it may be my fav.

[ExclusivelyxD0pe]

ilovee this songg =D

[pinky2B4]

i think the song means once our generation comes into power, the world will change. is that the point of this song?? also the song points out that even though if we try to take action, people just treat as a bunch of idiots!! so we'll just wait...

[floopsie666]

Love the song but the world isn't going to change unless Humanity is wiped out.

[kickapoo42]

@floopsie666

the world changes every second of every day and every day of every year.

[secondplacefinish]

@floopsie666 And it will be our generation will wipe out humanity.

[3rkid2]

@secondplacefinish

Wishful thinking, but unfortunately the human race will continue to live for centuries to come.

[3Days2LiveX]

Please do keep your rude coments to yourself. There is no need for your negativity. If you dont like the song, no one is making you listen to it.

[TheDreamOfChrono]

so beautiful... didn't know he sang it. i love his other song: daughters.

amazing voice. really.

[BillieJean0001]

i luv him i think he's sexy

[SuperTara7]

@BillieJean0001 deffinitly is sexy ♥

[GOGETTERKAMIKAZ11111]

lol love this music

[MoneyMan8900]

(-Great-Song-)

[3rkid2]

You people really think John Mayer isn't a douche?

You people are blind.

[jhawkdude]

Well see that's your problem, you're just looking at him, I thought the same thing when he first started getting big. Then I really LISTENED to him create music. Then I really respected him.

[rockpaperscissorhand]

if you think so, why are you watching him?

[3rkid2]

@rockpaperscissorhand

I'm not watching, I'm listening.

[rockpaperscissorhand]

@3rkid2

why are you listening if you dont like him?

[geico1212]

hes saying what he wants to say, saying what he needs to sayy

[rockpaperscissorhand]

okay then

[3rkid2]

@rockpaperscissorhand

I meant not watching as not looking at his douchey music video, but listening to this great song.

[rockpaperscissorhand]

@ 3rkid2

the way you wrote it sounded different

[paden]

K people if you don't like john Mayer don't watch it ANYWAY I LOVE JOHN MAYER. <3

[missykeeys]

i like this song! evry1 should hear it it. cause evry song has a meaning and more ... even though hes a bit weird his songs teach us somthing. :) OMG i sound like my grandpa ... lol

[chaosbringer127]

Amazing song.

[Leftypowerhouse09]

John Mayer is just a straight up beast.

[bboyxchristian]

one of the best songs ever written.

[COMICID]

sog is good but vid is stupid about dudes graffiting

[3rkid2]

God what a douche. But his music is too damn good to not listen.

[hookerwithapenispump]

Ha! My sentiments exactly!

[thepunjabiplfycrew]

message needs more clarity we shouldnt be waiting..but amazing song no doubt!

[getthepoooffmybum]

One of the only good mainstream artists these days. amazing song

[hgates101]

I'm waiting too.....

[BIPOLAR90210]

my aunt died and she loved john mayer and now i love it to love u aunt karen R.I.P

[c0Ld]

your aunt karen is burning in hell right now. LOL LOSER

[PaleWhiteBoy]

Damn you have issues.

[thundercats217]

graff.

[samkev84]

jeff beck and sting did a song that sounds just like this youtube it and it kind of reminds me of SRV tick tock people

[biteme159]

i agree with krishnm, but fo real dude. you need to listen to the lyrics

[thumpernkirby]

seriously no one should be so negative krishnm u need to relax and enjoy life : )

[probot65]

FlairPhoenix

Google Lee Matasi

He was a King from Vancouver

[FlairPhoenix]

Great song. Great video. Does anyone know where I could find more of the style of art featured?

[MustBeFiend]

@FlairPhoenix its Graffiti

[roxymania08]

nice. put down the song, and then quote from a novel so that no one can call you stupid. well, guess what. you're stupid. you say to do something about it ... when was the last time you did something to change the world? never? i thought so. this message is great, so shut your gob.

[guthax20]

The world is practically a living thing; its constantly changing, regardless of our behavior. "changing the world" is a shallow narcissistic concept. I believe in mans power to change himself, but other than that your powerless to change anything...drifting slowly but surely to an end that brings all living things together...namely death. But thats just the existentialist point of view...just be happy and the rest will follow :D

[krishnm]

catchy....but completely unoriginal song. Among other things, the chord progression is obviously taken from "Sexual Healing."

[keanureeveswhoa]

just listen to it for what it is :)

[MsSoozy]

I would love to see John and Johnny Lang together, voices and guitar playing to die for. ooooohh ya!:)

[TheTruthTC]

The song is okay and all, but the message pisses me off. "Waiting for the world to change,"? Really? Do something about it. Reminds me of a quote from Albert Camus's novel La Peste, "To leave justice to God is to sanctify injustice"

[TheJNNProduction]

Wow man. I never realized that before. Of course we hear to try to make the world better, but in reality, we all just sit here and wait for it!

[getthepoooffmybum]

That's the point of the song. Mayer is talking about how people want to world to change but they don't do shit about it. They just wait.

[1LG1116]

@getthepoooffmybum I agree!! I don't think it's a case of people not caring, but them waiting for others to do it for them. Many people want to change the world, yet how many people take the first step of changing themselves in the first place?

[OmgWtfxful]

you know what i found funny

i mean i love the message and everything but

while saying waiting on the world to change and stuff

they're polluting the air with chemicals while graffitying

[MustBeFiend]

@OmgWtfxful yet their making beautiful art, double-edged sword

[OmgWtfxful]

true!!

[heshteen93]

I used to thik this guy was black before I saw a photo of him lol

[UDAproductions]

@heshteen93 understandable. lol.

[Getindachopa]

Anyone know if there is a proper name for the Toboggan the guy with glasses is wearing? Is pretty dope.

[GermanWaveRecords]

I like that song :]

[devonfarrar]

cool circles way coller than mine :) great message to

[XILuvJacobBlackx]

i like this song

[YekUnit]

greatest song from John Mayers! and why is everyone keeping saying that he died

[IJAMBand]

I LUV THIS SONG!!!!!!! I fall asleep to this song sometimes!! lol his voice can put me to sleep fast!!! lol

[73194682kcy1]

john meyer looks better with his longer hair:) my oppinion

[IJAMBand]

Ya i think he looks cool with long hair or short hair lol i just luv John Mayer!!!!!! lol

[VanillaSky32]

Instead of waiting for things to change why don't you get off your ass and do something.

[Tazy50]

this is a song, pretty boy.

[ThePandafran]

whats amatter can't accept the truth little johnny needs help like the posted comments, huh?

[supersmash666]

this is a very good song and its true im 1 of the people waiting on the world to change

[dardull]

The guy who sings this song looks like a douche bag

[3rkid2]

@dardull

Yeah, John Mayer is a bit of a douchebag, but he makes some pretty good music.

[ThePandafran]

think van morrison "crazy love",

good riff but a rip johnny

frankdemo51

[codgodcnl]

great song.

[caitlinandleticia]

wow good quality

[muffinlovesmuffins]

this video has scary good quality

[UmairZ7]

everybody is waiting on the world to change

[TheOpinion198]

the worlds not going to change unless we stand up and do something about it....

[Jammed9000]

No.

[yuth695hg]

hahahah xD

[stxyjr]

not really

[dardull]

I love you too

[mastercrackz]

cool

[juealzbandana]

futura :), did you see his new tat?

[ISAWPAC]

this song reminds me od curtis mayfeild & the impressions - we're a winner.

this songs dope.

[KMELIZ21]

still waiting!

[893160007]

"they say we stand for nothing, but there's no way we every could"

[EmoOrc4]

"When You Own The Information You Can Bend It All You Want" -John Mayer

One of the greatest lines in this song

[christentze]

"When you trust your television

what you get is what you got

cuz when they own the information

oooh, they can bend it all they want."

i love that part, too. it's like he's singing a chain of adages. this is a great song.

[1IxLoVexOrAnGe3]

Amazing song :]

[JRaab311]

not a big mayer fan but this song presents a great message. Too many people are passive and expect others to do what needs done. If we all did the little things do better out world, we and our neighbors could live in harmony.

[fendermusicLOL]

this song is for intellegent people.people who want to make the most out of life and not live in fear.may peace and love be in ur hearts.

[silverdust95]

Man people need to stop fighting on every good song..

[MegaEddiemac]

man the jonas brothers tryed to cover like three of johns song and thay suck ass

[goingtohell333]

for a good cover check out "Ryan McDermott covers John Mayer - Waiting on the World to Change"

[bonitachika792]

I like how people would post racist and stupid shit on this video which clearly doesn't represent the meaning of this video.

[liveandletdie86]

he just sings two lines

then he says waiting on the world to change x5

WTF

[16735625474]

he said nigga woopdy fuckin doo evryone says that not a big deal

[BeesXButterflies]

haha well obviously not EVERYONE

[bonitachika792]

It is a big deal because it is derogatory and causes hate.

If you don't care about it your part of that percentage that keeps this cycle of violence continuing in the world, you bystander.

[MissBrightSide137]

EagleEyecold: Thats not a cool word man, thats fucked up...

[skate33333]

oraaaaaa lets get mota vated blaze it

[chisom4lyf]

you are very mature...NOT

[ufcbsb]

hilary sucks his black dick now.

[LGKorora]

dont wait on the world to change.

Go change it.

I dare you.

[smallmaniac]

ha, i was just thinking the same thing.

[bluegama500]

lol you got that right

[Tazy50]

this song brings back a WHOLE HUMUNGOUS AMOUNT OF BIG, BIG, BEAUTIFUL GOOD OLD MOMENTS from the 7th. Good times, good times. I'll always miss 'em. heh we used to form a little band in music class, playin this song (me usually on the guitar, or piano. mostly piano)

[finalmatrix]

One of the song with best melody and lyrics.

[101mulitmia]

John Mayer:

great singer: check

cute: check

sweet: check

plain out awsome: double check

lovable: check

How can you not love him?

[yoyo003]

LEGALIZE THE HERB please its freedom....

[sifs4]

you already use the "herb" what's the difference for you??

[yoyo003]

Cause i cant any more cause of drug test an stuff but if it was legal i could...

[zlamone]

chino and futura2000?? :D

[AirForcedude5]

good song, a liberal free hate free war free is what anyone wants.

[999663isback]

Yes, espeacialy the liberal free part

[893160007]

apparently you dont want the hate free part and btw this song doesnt really have any political view except todays politics suck

[dardull]

You suck

[H3LIO69]

you suck

[GraffLife25]

nicce...i like that he incorporated some dope graffiti too...

[tru3damage07]

I think this is personally his BEST SONG!!!

[tmcgordon]

This song is not only AWESOME but timeless! I never tire of hearing it! A BEST single of all time fer sure!! : )

[Littlestarr28]

i so love this song..its the best..

[tallwater06]

Freaking awesome verse...."When you trust your television, what you get is what you got, cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want."

[panana10000]

why does people keep going on about god, like honestly we are finally free from its chains coz honestly there is no such thing. like the middle ages if u said something about god u'd get ur head cut of like honestly wth...

[patty8809]

john mayer is the best white gangsta rapper listen to 50 cent john mayer made him or his first album which is what made him

[deeanna50]

You can just keep on waiting. Good Luck!!!

[Vickyefisher]

in the middle of this philosophical debate... *looks at john mayer* I'd tap that. Just saying.

[kramer1346]

I mean, I hate to sound pessimistic. But this song is similar to the religious concepts of Messiah. Christians are waiting for Jesus to make his comeback. Jews are waiting for their Messiah. It's psychologically comforting to keep that hope alive of some miracle happening which will clear away our individual troubles.

[jebe121618]

yeah

[kramer1346]

Those who say the past was better are just suffering from nostalgia. Humans, in all generations, on an individual level, were always plagued by insecurities - will it rain this year? will it be a good harvest? will that girl I fancy like me too....? At least today, in the Western World, we're not starving to death.

Secondly, this song isn't about the past. It's about the future. People look to the future and hope that things will get better in a general sense. Frankly, it's a pretty naive hope

[tgdrake10]

god ur depressing.... : ) just messin with u.... the entire world is deprerssing. I just come to utube to try and block that fact out....... *half smile half sad*

[jebe121618]

smart and every thign but who says fancy like tht anymore

[kahrk9]

I am guessing John received some inspiration from "Tic Toc" from the Vaughan Brothers "Family Style"

great song

[lemoney13]

theres no winning this war against nature now weve provoked the damnation of humanity it might not be for centuries or milenioms but we have started what cant be stoped and back to the point back then these wernt the worries of the world it was a nicer yet worse place at the same time

[paigerocks884]

on a brighter note,have a nice day!

[tekon1994]

is it true the past is much better than today?
