John Butler - "Losing You"

[Emma01louise]

John Butler. You see the world in the exactly right way. And you show that through your amazing music! So much love... Wish there were more people like you, I wish i saw the world like you! <3

[kadirbasri]

even if justin bieber got shot from an arrow to the knee, he couldn't tap this beauty rhyme >.<

[TheUsaQuaddd]

fucking amazing siht 

[andrehenna]

WARNING: eargasm

[vwvan18]

this is real stuff. beiber is for mainstream peeps that need excitement. this song is healthy for your soul. we need more tunes like this.

[Palladin727]

what type of guitar is that?



[chiapet0711]

All I Mind

[UbErPuBeR007]

the best music ever made :)

[howtotuneaguitar]

Great song, very cool tuning. If any guitarists are wondering how he does this, I've made a tutorial explaining the tuning and an easy alternative to the right hand picking if you don't have the fingernails.

[goeiemorrege1]

love his beard, love his nails, LOVE HIS MUSIC!! (and yeah i miss his dreads too hhh)

[BirdOfJove]

Great song! I'm learning this on acoustic atm... But then I watch him live and he always pulls out these little improvised variations, & I'm like damn that was cool... love the way he feels his music. Simply put, , is an incredible truly talented musician, (only started guitar at age 16 btw) and creates art every time he picks up the guitar! Legend.

[schmmarc]

why the hell are you talking about his nails all the time. the music would be as great as it is even if they were 2 feet long

[fireseek7]

beautiful song.

[tinokapf]

the guy has some serious talent. probalby the only guy who can get away with wearing fake nails. he is a legend.

[InnuendoXP]

so what if the nails are fake?

It still looks a hell of a lot easier than using fingerpicks and it's not practical to have your natural nails grow that long all the time. It's like complaining he has a beard. He has his reasons, maybe it keeps his face warmer, but it's none of your business either way

[iGeeeked]

Are people really arguing over his nails. -.-

[jbprider]

why do i hear 6/8 african drums underneath this in my head?

[TristanCarrollMusic]

@jbprider it's in 4/4 though

[finnrockt]

@jbprider he hit with his food on a drum

[tallpaulphillips]

@jbprider strong African influence..check out TINARIWEN....

[xLesPaulx92]

Those long 'nails' are fake, he attaches them with glue, its easy for picking... Check out the interview with John Butler on youtube where he answers fan questions :)

[thebcwanted]

yeah fuck the nails

[AddictedToTheStones]

what i wouldn't give for guitar lessons from the most gorgeous amazing musician on this planet!

[SuperMrsledbetter]

his music plays to my soul, he brings me back down to where things are small again!!! music is Love!

[Gottslayer]

u all stupid?! rly? man does no one know these nails?! cmoon!!!

[Jack227]

He better be hiding those cheeky dreds in his hat!!



[mitchbarry94]

Loving the sneaky little blunt in his hat. Loving you John.

[bjboren]

haha they ARE acrylic nails. to each his own.



[8ctc1]

it may be a fairly simple finger picking pattern, but what stands people out above others is the natural talent they possess to be able to play the SIMPLE things well and soulful and to influence your emotions in the process... :)

[carlcurry100]

The one person who does not agree with the rest of us and dislikes this song... Do you have any major braindamage?

[natedogg0y]

beauty

[riot848]

Thanks to everyone who fed me. Successful troll is successful.

[1Poopshoot1]

@riot848 oh my gosh! jesse?? hahahah

[simplethunder]

This song really reminds me of jack johnson's music.

[lenacreator]

Wow, this song just proves that there still are great artists with talent, even though these days are filled with that fake music industry of us. I'm beggin' you world, turn your radio off, get off your lazy ass and buy a cd of John Butler. Believe me, you would all live in peace.

[TheWolfDogMoon]

Love this song.

[thatoldmat91]

I must say, this is good. But, I wonder if he's ever tried a thumb pick? It will really bring out the bass notes and you don't have to grow a nasty ass thumb nail! Good song though

[heinodippenaar]

This guy is the closest you'll ever get to Gandhi. He teaches that everyone on earth is part of one unity. We should all love and respect each other, and help each other like you would help your neighbor. Doesn't matter weather its in your neighborhood or on the other side of the planet.

If we could be all be more like him and it will make a difference.

Big up John Butler. : )

[TheLuciano009]

1 dislike!?!? I'm going to find that person and punch them in the neck! Who's with me??

[riot848]

Id like to see this guy turn it into a rock song. Like... Take skillet to do a cover of this song so I can feel the lyrics. All I hear right now is Bieber voice... lol

[fajisticxs]

@riot848 shutup

[riot848]

@fajisticxs But y u mad tho bro?

[supamario1321]

@riot848 i actually wanna cry when people know so little about good music that they compare john butler to justin beiber, what kind of world do we live in?

[MasterGuitarist1990]

@supamario1321 The one of "mainstream" bs. Where people get famous cause of Daddy and Mommie's money (Justin Beiber and Miley Crus) and not because they're just good. Not because they did one restaurant/ night club gig after another until a scout saw and said "Hey, they're pretty good."

[Limjucas8396]

@MasterGuitarist1990 justin beiber's parents are poor as shit. idiot.

[Bueaify]

@supamario1321 i don't care who knows good music and who don't , i am meeting good people all the time that i share good music with. Don't worry about some internet comunity ^^ mostly young kids listen to pop music you call shit , you know some day they have to grow up :)

[missferral75]

@riot848 You wanker...how can you even put John Butler & Beiber in the same sentence. Fuck off back to a Beiber song. Your ears are not worthy of all that is JB.

[riot848]

@missferral75 Right. Thats cute. Are you done trying to prove nothing?

[GibbyMan21]

@riot848 don't talk shit about JBT and how could this as a rock song sound better? what makes this song so awesome is how chill and calm it is, turning it into a rock song would just ruin it.

[kobebryant24i]

@riot848 mate no disrespect or anything but the whole beauty of this song is the fact its an acoustic version and no offense to beiber but he couldnt pull off a song like this or ever write one that has its beauty...and if you think beiber is better check out ocean....ocean would shit on him all day but im not gonna rant its my opinion

[flaamekillah]

stuff of legends here

[GibbyMan21]

1 person probably got their brother mad, resulting in him going on his/her account and pressing the dislike button..

[jmh5683]

i wish this song NEVER ended- i love that his voice is hoarse....

[jmh5683]

i wish this song NEVER ended

[bgrich2003]

I guess some people don't need bands lol. Wow only one dislike that's really good I guess even the a holes respect this guy's playing

[maguewlito]

epic faces

[DGKylee]

What a beautiful song<3

[acgunderson92]

There's something about this song that just like touches your soul, I don't really know another way of describing it

[agmiller15]

love this tune a lot.  Reminds you of what we take for granted and how simplicity is always the meaning of life. He's telling us that nothing is worth losing his love over and that you love that person for who they are and not because there growing old or not as handsome as they once were. Great lyrical phrasing and the open G tuning

CGDGBD

[Musicchick1986]

this guy is fucking amazing..

[TheRorasauras]

@kiimsify check out Andy Mckee beautiful guitarist. Also Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn are two great "Nu Folk" musicians that are worth a look out!!

[rk4life13]

i have my head.. firmly up my ass somewhere... lol

[skidmarkymark]

The American charts don't mean sht. Great music is great music. Great musicians tour and sell out venues. That's what JBT does. I'd rather him keep doing what he does and not sell his soul for a number one record.

[XXDrknssoXX]

Wow honesty to god, allah, jesus, buddha, mother friggin earth, music!!!! i love it!

[BritoSir]

Putz, excelente músico!

[Kiimsify]

hello fellow souls with awesome taste in music. would anyone care to help a girl out? any suggestions as far as similar (or just amazing) musicians go? I just saw JBT put on a brilliant show two weeks ago :) and am now craving some new tunes. Many Thanks from North Carolina.

[Artyfartyify]

@Kiimsify heya

hes kinda along the same accoustic vibe

for summet a bit more depressing theirs a chap called "damien rice"

if you havent already try "mumford and sons" they are epic :D :D :D!!!

[Kiimsify]

@Artyfartyify Thanks so much for the reply. I will check them all out for sure. :) Best wishes from North Carolina, USA

[ashalilove]

He blows my mind!

[BreakToDaBeat]

who cares about how long his nails are the man is pure genius strait up sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads

[Shanker420]

John Butler is an incredible artist. His music is so full of emotion and feeling.

[hp348]

his nails make me feel sick

[jamess1282]

@hp348 It's fake..

[noschoolnoworkalwhiz]

@hp348 you make me feel sick :)

[NikkoMoss]

Beautiful.

[1234manu123]

are his fingernails real???

[TLMC1989]

@1234manu123 no theyre not :P they are stuck on ;)

[jamess1282]

@1234manu123 no...

[jammin1acoustic]

this song gives me goose bumps....its just sooo good

[Icyrails12]

love this song, but i still don't know the words he's saying. "All our minds, losing you"??  Or, "Are our minds, losing you"? lol i just can't quite pick it up. Could someone please tell me? thanks =)

[CSIxec]

@Icyrails12

He sings: All I mind's losing you :)

[marius357]

@Icyrails12

All I minds losing you

[Icyrails12]

@marius357 and CSlxec.....Thanks for the reply =) Now i know

[musicandtalking]

@Icyrails12 "all I mind is losing you"

[musicandtalking]

@Icyrails12 "all I mind, is losing you"

[jackerious47]

haha tbf no one would be able to play the guitar with real nails like that, they just aren't strong enough. john butler is an amazing guitar player, and thats all that matters.

[biggreenex]

This is AMAzING

[phareswheel04]

AHH john butler.. i miss ur dreds!! :(

[tottivictorsk8]

@phareswheel04 dreads maybe ?

[drumminmeatball]

I'm trying to catch him live. Anybody know any info? I haven't googled it yet.. haha

[GuelahPapyrus84]

Green Jacket, gold Jacket... Who gives a shit? The guy is amazing!

[MrPocketGroover]

does anybody now what pickup he is using??? it looks like a fishman but im not sure??

[EarthboundSon]

He is using a S.Duncan Mag/mac pick-up...i use them in all my guitars for the sound hole..amazing

[bausy88]

Why does it matter if they're real or fake? Do people complain about guitarists who use picks? No, its irrelevant, just enjoy the song for what it is.

[farras08]

completely agree. fake nails dont matter at all. How does that affect his skill as a guitar player? Hes a masterful fingerpicker and this song is amazing

[Like99Ninjas1]

@bausy88 2shay brother

[redeyedrednek]

Agreed good sir

[jamess1282]

@bausy88 picks are for people who have shitty right hands. Including electric players..

[mitchbarry94]

@bausy88 toally true brother, ive been using fake nails for 2 years now& ill never look back, & for the record.... the nails get all the ladies :) haha. ive no problems with folks who use picks or any of that.

Onelove.

[alxlief]

@bausy88 fake? lol

that's a very simple finger picking pattern.. it only sounds complex. you just alternate between your thumb and middle finger.. or pointer finger.. what ever.

[ybernier]

@bausy88 Amen :)

[sarahelizabethasher]

@bausy88 I've yet to see a fake nail that would hold up to this. But you're right. IF he glues his picks to his fingers and makes them look like nails so what?? He's a brilliant guitarist - nothing else matters.

[neilss1]

Love this song

[cocobe10]

he wears acrylics but in no way does it take away from his talent

[bRiD0T07]

guys... its something you stick on your finger nails for the guitar... haha

[JudahLionOfZion]

Nope, it's a classical guitar practice to grow your nails naturally long on your right hand.

[glowstix813]

<3 love this

[Pemmee]

I love you

[JameusForest]

aww i love you too :P

[andynicho1]

this is a bose moment

[brutaldrumms]

who cares about the nails... It´s all about the music, if you mind about that... just close your eyes and listen... fake nails or not his music is awesome \\m//

[ceepatton]

his ratclaws are hilarious

[ronkorz]

Im missin Shannon and Michael, Cant believe they broke up!! JBT will never be the same, Still makes great music... but not the same....

~Peace~

[ibo2330]

Real nails or not...

He makes wonderfull music with it :).

[JohnnyLerma]

clearly fake! google it

[HaydenCole1991]

Thats mad cool! I I heard they were acrylics one time and was sorely dissapointed.

[yoerivcz]

those are fake nails.

he tried at his beginning to play with his rail nails but ended up with bloody finger tips(check new video on his channel, he answers taht question)

[googleby]

@rachyrilez no they're not, i also met him and asked him and he said they were fake and it also says on heaps of his vids :P

[17Luckynumber17]

he is amazing

[borkles]

psate needs to hire an art director, this is absolutely woeful, John on the other hand, is as always quite spectacular.

[iDecorateToast]

He sounds better in this version than another live version I heard on here.

[binzing]

Because this was miked in a studio.

[leviticus053]

this is open C just tuned down half step right?

[Jonnyioyou100]

they are actually his nails. its a style of plucking that require you to grow nails. think if they were fake they would break instantly

[pluskat]

nah they are fake.

[musiclover1342]

yeah he wears acyrllic nails

[mickeymanouche]

@Jonnyioyou100

Sorry man, but they're fake, just watch his Q&A video on the website. I use nails like that, and believe me, real nails break more easily.

[harryscherger]

lol they are acrylic nails man

[420librarylady]

It is amazing how low profile JBT has stayed. With shit like this going on it's only a matter of time!

[musiclover1342]

he's huge in australia.

[SynysterJoeyA7X]

Those arent Johns real nails lol. But fuck man, I love this song. ^^ I wanna learn it and play and sing it to my best mate, 'cause its just.. the perfect way to describe how I feel.

[2322008]

Robbie Krieger, the guitar player for The Doors, also kept his nails long to make guitar playing easier

[prjctcivilian]

almost every classical player that doesnt use a pick does

[elydiabeth]

lets just be glad he isn't.... otherwise their music would be completely mainstream-ized. I love it this way. The music still has meaning

[WolfofNerezza]

Those are finger picks right?

i know he started on the streets but did he use to have finger nails like that o,O?

John Butler's my hero lol

[txhunter89]

I heard they are fake nails

[lukedee12]

yeah i have used acrylics before. they are much better than finger picks.. love this song though lol

[heathernightingale]

AMAZING

[KaleiMarston]

beautiful song =p

[Sormsen]

great song :)!!!

[mcchick49]

i love this song :D

i really dont know how he isnt tearing up the US charts

[WolfofNerezza]

because most Americans don't look at new artists, they look at the same old crap again and again, it takes a stroke of luck to get into the US charts.

[Brzrkr667]

@WolfofNerezza I've heard different stories about the Jazz scene in New York =O

But I guess that's not all of America, right..

[tycer18]

@WolfofNerezza It isn't americans who don't look for new artists. It's the fact that the record labels churn out musicians like they're new cars. They play the music industry like stock. They're in it for a short, very large return. ie( lady gaga, jonas brothers, hannah montana, etc.) To find good music in America, you typically have to look to independent artists.

[jlkdotcom]

@WolfofNerezza about US charts. We have fucked up new world order-illuminati and JBT rocks and they can just suck his guitar
