John Mayer - War of My Life

[luchobj]

he kinda thinks he's jesus nowadays... the music still great though

[chandlerhi]

What's the song he sings in the beginning?

[therichardchannel]

@chandlerhi "You Don't Know How It Feels" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[pepsi89]

i listen to john mayer whenever i cant sleep, and this song put me to sleep so easily

[dbrownnnn]

thank you so much for recording this, I listen to this speech everyday <3 it helps me more than anything

[MagnaSymphoniae]

@MusicMeUpBaby I definately agree. He rocks the harmonica in this performance.

[louislouis77777]

"I'm not worried about it I'm djusst telling you my bums not into that"

[EddieVedder13]

Thank you so much for this, this will be another daily reminder for me fight on!

[GravityBlues92]

anyone have the chords?



[6194mckinley]

素晴らしい。

もう日本の音楽はダメだ。。。。



[MusicMeUpBaby]

the harmonica is such a great alternative to the electric guitar on this song, maybe even (dare I say it) better? the song has a beautiful idea in it that pretty much everyone can relate to in some way. btw FREAK OUT :O

[uweseeler1]

Fucking genius!

[TheWhitewhirlwind]

Good hell, if he starts playing harmonica he'll be passing legends in no time.

[blok31092]

and then he actually takes one out and shows the crowd! what a true artist, damn that is awesome!

[blok31092]

definitely the best performance of this song. fuckin love the line at 2:43 "if fear hasn't killed me yet, there's no chance the Xanax will." Such a true line!!

[xexexeism]

nobody like him..amazing...

[nicollas1011]

genious

[Csaenz17]

is the best recording I've seen, thanks for making me happy @elysiumabovo :)

[sunny4lady]

The best part of this video! : 6:13

[nelpimienta]

This is SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! <3 

[kwwatson14]

what key harmonica is he using anyone know?

[sjandie]

@kwwatson14, He uses a harmonica in the key of E.

[wavingmilo]

the sound quality is fantastic! Thanks for uploading! JM is one hell of an entertainer. I wonder whether I'll ever be able to attend his concert. Rock on, JM! You're the man!

[Bluemgwes]

This is the best video of a live performance of John Mayer. Mad props! What kind of camera did you use btw?

[mattbeermusic]

this performance made me love this song 100000 times more.

[brennaghbee]

I can't ever get over how incredible this whole performance is...

6:52

Fight on!

[flatbatri]

WTF!! he plays harmonica aswell! this guy is taking the piss out of talent!

[Daanlindeboom]

need that txt of his speech at 04:00!!!!!!!! does anybody knows where i can find that on the net? thkxxx

[debestciannel]

This song is so much better with the acoustic and the harp!

[Sinfire3XC]

Lol

[haz4510]

'My mom's not into that'

Makes you think...

[tjsfender]

This video changed my life.

[micllave]

this moves me..

[salmonbomb]

he should stick to comedic banter. his speeches always fall flat.

[h4rsh3ys]

@salmonbomb you always fall flat.

[guitarplayer407]

@salmonbomb

thats all a matter of perspective. to each his own, my friend.

[willraz]

chords anyone?

[allison2090]

1 person just wanted to hit the dislike for shits & giggs. Only because theres no way to truly dislike this video.

[KalehCarmonaBoeker]

Who needs therapy when you have John Mayer?

[diogojnogueira]

i made this song my alarm clock... just to motivate me for the rest of the day...

[bondman00794]

I'm Crying

[brennaghbee]

i'm crying.

and it feels good.

[juuaaaann]

sorry i want to ask if are steel strings or nylon?

[aerrhh]

@juuaaaann steel strings of course! xD

[MarcusTheMadLad]

@aerrhh

Bear in mind, those strings are a pretty high gauge, seeing as he needs to play songs like In Your Atmosphere, or other songs of his, that require a higher open tuning.

It's pretty easy to be mistaken, but yes, they are steel :)

[facabella]

cute headband baby :)

[xARMANAA]

What kind of camera are you recording with?

[jennifer14580]

God as my witness, this is going to get me through my divorce. Thanks, sweet Johnny ... Mwah! x

[uhhsuperduper]

just watched this twice in a row...beautiful.

side-note: thumbs up for the old bald guy with the gibson flying V and the freaky plaid pants...!

[facabella]

i really really want to be that harmonica

[facabella]

his muscles look very delicious here and yummy tattoo

[facabella]

i just fell in love with john mayer. for real.

[radkid06]

He's a little off beat, and a character, but John is definitely a very polished musician.

[ELKINGG]

Her Mom's not into that!

[jadillac1181]

what kinda video camera did you film this with?

[jaimico777]

I´m kinda shame asking this... but... I´m from colmbia and my english isn´t perfect and I really cant get what was in his pocket (or wherever he took it out)

Can somebody tell me please... thank you.

[Stavsuddas]

@jaimico777 google xanax

[obga18]

anyone else wanna know what the moms not into??

[sososoulful]

@obga18 That "Mom" comment stole all of my interest... I wanna know!

[rgl3ma57]

i cried!

[Smileangel02]

If youre gonna freak out... FREAK OUT!♥

I love him SO much! I have spend the whole day listening to him...

[MsSoccerpunk]

i love this song coz its just a mix up song

[zenyricardo]

For whatever reason, I can't stop watching 2:24 - 2:25.... His face looks kinda kinky

[zenyricardo]

His music is like a drug. Once you get hooked, you can't get "Unhooked".

He's an amazing musician.

[andibaby98]

@zenyricardo that is exactly wat happened to me, especially once I started watching his live perfomances.... he's unbelievable....I'm hoping the next time he tours, I'll be able to see him live....hope you do too if you haven't already:)

[nesselegant08]

@zenyricardo so right!!john mayer's songs are so addictive

[inezinezia]

I love this man..

[luizhenrique54321]

I had help. Tanks, ljm78 ..

[luizhenrique54321]

I wish to understand what he said "/

Any really good people can tell me what he said in the speech?

I understood only some little parts.. :/

Someday I'll understand English just listening... I hope so!

=)

[jairzinho110]

If you wanna freak out, freak out!!

[idreamofer47]

Ok John come on, trying not to cry here.. you're too perfect :) I miss his concerts so much! The summer tour was AMAZING.

[Mr7nationarmy]

every time i dont feel 100% OK i watch this video and i feel better

[itsjustme314]

one of my favorite songs last summer tour!! LOVE! therapy...definately!  I have acid reflux and rarely behave appropriately and have xanax on hand lol I think we have something in common!

[itsjustme314]

one of my favorite songs last summer tour!! LOVE!

[EllensCrossroads]

The message of this guy, it's so inspiring, uplifting and honest. Also this is what the song War of My Life is truly about. Tnx for uploading this!

[repsacharas]

my favorite speech of his ever. im literally in tears everytime i watch this.

[Stavsuddas]

Can anyone tell me who make those cargo pants he is wearing? please!!!

[ellenelizabethh]

Pretty sure 23,000 of these views are from me...

[Mor0zov]

[Clarissamayer]

Love you always JM!

[MisterTouch]

thx for posting...i like this version of war in my life very much!

may i ask what camera you used to film this?

not only the image is good, the sound is also great. 

[mcgeoughm3]

Anyone get the chord progression??

[adoody512]

@mcgeoughm3

E major

A sus

C minor

F # minor

[64ccd]

I saw this video 6 months ago. I still watch it from time to time. I wish I could show it to everyone, because everyone needs to hear this. I just wish someone could be there for him. He more than deserves it.

[whoamavi]

Does anyone here have the exact words he says on his speech?

[almostlover72]

I missed this concert by one fuckin day. My flight to Paris was a day before the concert.

[glic6616]

you know, there is really something beautiful about people singing along, slightly out of tune, to songs they love so much by an artist they love so much at a concert.

[ulys8ana]

when you see a men like him..on top of his game,so powerful, so desired .a king  and still in doubt ,dissapointed ,lost you start to question everything..what the fuck is reality?what matters anymore...is it worth it...i guess everything must get even.

[BrandonColon]

It's insane how much I relate to this. From the moment I wake up until an hour after I lay down to bed my thoughts are racing. 

[chilipepperfan318]

where is this anyone?

[surfer1211]

@chilipepperfan318

Not to sound rude but check the info box; most videos especially of concerts will have the venue, city, and date along with song title, tour, and the obvious name of the artist haha. It's pretty common; and if it's not there sometimes you'll get lucky and it'll be listed under the tags.

But to save you the trip to the info box:

"at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ on Friday, July 30, 2010."

[phastibhisa]

I bought a harmonica just to play this song

[BrandonColon]

What isnt your mom into?

[surfer1211]

@BrandonColon

I was gonna post this but good call; you're getting a green thumb from me now haha.

[beachycat]

Thanks for posting this video!

[blink182281knilb]

dear john,

thank you for the musical and verbal therapy. i feel better. you are the greatest. 

[xxmspattinsonxx]

i love that no one dis likes this cause you can't resist john mayer. :)

[fahmiothman]

i watch this everyday!

[tamiyem]

song of the week for me

[playlistadam]

Does anyone know what is the tuning of his harmonica? is it in A?

[fenway568]

This may the single most influential performance by John Mayer ever.

[simons56201]

How do I get this onto my i pod, so when I am driving around having a bad day - I can listen to this?

[ibanez6789345]

@simons56201 zamzar.com.....really easy just cut and paste this link and itll send you the file to your email address ;)

[simons56201]

I LOVE HIM! Best Musician EVER! 

[itsjustme314]

blows me away every time i hear it....LOVE him SO much!

[samanthalishere]

the woman complaining at the start of the video is ironic, haha.

[JenHix77]

wow, That makes me feel so much better thanks you john

[BrandonColon]

Haha after he crushed that pill he shoulda said "now I can snort it!" . I crack myself up...

[BrandonColon]

I gotta be honest. This is my favorite song at this point in my life. It has about 100 more plays than my second most played song on itunes. Of course the second most played is also John Mayer. But really, I'm in the war of my life. I freak out. I gotta prescription too, but the drugs never last. If there is one thing I've learned so far in my life is that when I start thinking, I'm as good as dead. So I'm just gonna do what I do best...and play my guitar and sing about it. Fight on...

[KevinTheKraut]

Excellent as always John!

[FlutterVision]

One of the BEST.

[sbhuiyan]

This is proof John Mayer is just as good or in my case better in real life than his CD recordings. I love this guy he is a true musician.

[marthafrancisco]

he is the best... all I can say... love ya!

[alxpk3]

so good, the guy knows what hes talking about.

[BlackMambaPANIC]

the harmonica.. oh my gosh. I teared up within the first minute.

[tricee468]

Amazing !!!!!!!!!! would be lost without his music !

[Swinger2000]

great song great sound great band but loose that harmonica..

[DlMan92]

A motivational speaker too!?...what else can this man do!?!?!?

[blink182281knilb]

i think this is the most beautiful video ever. not just the song but that is such a good speech. his advice is so inspiring. anyone who says they dont like jm should watch this video and then be asked if they still dislike him

[Hughzaaa]

I Love this video. I can relate so much to it. Suffering from anxiety myself, although I'm managing it quite well at the moment. There are times when we don't feel 100%. Sometimes we just have to let it roll, keep going and not let those "What if?" questions ruin our every day enjoyment.

[p8ntbala14]

@Hughzaaa You couldn't have said my feelings any better.

[hersheykissie12]

oh my gosh. absolutely WONDERFUL. and your camera is fantastic btw.

and his laugh- so adorable

and he looked RIGHT at your camera!!!!!!!

[Dedeurklink]

i cried

[ntahoun1]

I freaked the fuck out at the airport today. I miss home and my family. When I got a hold of a computer I searched for this video immediately. It's comforting to know that we're all in the same boat. To everyone that's making their own path in life and feels a tad bit lonely sometimes... Fight On!

[suggthesenutz]

give it up mayer!

[cmg815]

this is like modern day therapy

[JenHix77]

@cmg815 you have no idea, he takes the words right out of my mouth. so agree

[geezloueeze]

This man is extremely theatrical. What he is saying is a no brainer.  Love the song, though. Appreciate the encouragement too. He means well.

[Ceeby]

@geezloueeze Yes I agree he talks to his audience a lot, but that is what his fans love as much as his music and I think probably more than his music. John Mayer has an incredible communication ability which is a talent in itself. You call him theatrical. Is being theatrical as negative as you think? As long as the message he gives is honest, how can you be critical?

[geezloueeze]

Perspective is an interesting thing. This man is extremely theatrical

[XDAnnaCathrine]

My favorite video with Mayer

[geezloueeze]

A lot of showmanship, but good point.

[tommy2008]

seriously,hes so good

[lakergurl3425]

wow....hes so amazing. i love the message. and you did a great job recording!

[ras410]

What an amazing concert!! He's so great live, even all the way from the lawn!! Lucky you were sooo close!!!

[readyfuels]

I always love how candid and honest he is. He gives some really amazing advice, on top of that being an amazing performance.

[MayerFanOne]

I love JM's honesty! He has a good heart!

[gaiettapooh89]

Can somenone give me the transcript of the speech please?I'm Italian and i can't understand all the words...Thanks!!!:)

[pesahson]

@gaiettapooh89

conceptofcontradictions.tumblr­.com/post/890132897/you-know-s­omewhere-along-the-way-somebod­y-or here is a version of it. He usually says the same thing.

[SweeetTx3]

This video is perfection!! :D

[9conte]

what did you record this with?

[sofreshsoclean75]

What kind of video camera did you use to take this? The quality is amazing!

[FromThisPlaceOn]

I love his way of thinking, his moral advices and his point of view on many things - it gives me chills. There is more to this guy than a beautiful voice, a great talent for making music and his nice ass. All of there pseudo-artists who need to perform like they're in a pornmovie on stage, got nothing on him. Fight on!

[bntice]

i think i was about 20 feet to your right... amazing show!! any chance you got good love is on the way?

[hanfenton]

what kind of camera is this? such great quality.

i love john mayer and would have died for these seats.

[xstarlitex234]

This is amazing. What camera did you use?

[MandisDrakis]

My life has changed from watching this video...

[jacquesays]

Brilliant. Thank you very much.

[auroraa606]

I got teary-eyed watching this... He is like our own personal shrink. <3 Beautiful.

[64ccd]

I really wish I could've been there.

[jkodee]

choice to the extreme!

[seananigans1]

Amen.

[rhixchelsx]

he gives such motivating advice, i was here and this just blew me away, espicially how he would start talking about a speech that lead into what he had to say in his song. and this is such good quality and close up, you must have had good seats lucky one

[nickyfi3]

i was at this concert. this song and speech was so amazing. and the concert was phenomenal. i can't wait until he comes back into town

[Kristen628]

Fucking beautiful. Thank you for this, John Mayer. And thanks to elysiumabovo for taking such a high quality video of it!

[meeshellrene]

Wow... I cried ..

[Ilse30983]

You post good quality, I like it a lot!! What camera did you use?

[HunMett]

5:00 AMAZING  love him
