  • The video is simple but awesome!

  • i bet the budget for this video is $0

  • well i think this video is about how women, ladies, girls should be treated. bcoz in this story, the guy is so inlove with this girl, but he never got the love he deserved. so he is sending out to all the dad's there that show the right amount of love to their daughters. BTW fav line "BOYS WILL BE GONE WITHOUT WARMTH FROM A WOMAN"S GOOD HEART"

  • Ok guys, I dont think he's saying daughters need special treatment more than sons...he's just saying that, yes, as a father, you do need to treat your daughter super special, in a way to show her how her future husband should be.

    nd he's not saying that sons dont need their father's love just as much. That's just not the topic of THIS song, THIS song happens to be about daughters. He couldve written about how sons need their dad, but that's not what was on his heart at the time.

  • LOVELY SONG... I still dont understand on "GEMMA WARD is the girl". Care to describe? :)

  • @SmokeyIvoryWay

    Gemma Ward, the girl in this video, is a well-known model and actress.

  • the song is so true , i'm listening to this right now crying , because im a 17 year old girl . my mother is a bad women , she betreyed us shes childish , my father is an older man who is wise . but very stern . and im forced between this battle they have . im the bullet to theirguns , and i cant take choosing between them . so parents BE GOOD to children ... because you don't want them to end up like me and start wanting to get away from you .. :'((

  • ma favorite of all times.. :D

  • This song is extremely sexist and if it were about boys, it wouldn't even make it to production without getting sued by hundreds of crazed house wives and homosexuals. That aside, it's a pretty damn good song.

  • the conclusion of this song: be good to girls.

  • <3

  • oh... no words can describe how true the song is...

  • just stumbled over this sympathetic young man here on YouTube at joshuakunzechannel.. i hope that my daughters will get someone romantic as him... sigh!!

  • luv this song :)

  • 267 people has no taste on music... wahahahah

  • I juz love reflecting into this song.. It made me feel more special as worthliving creature...

  • @MishaAtreides Sure thing that he's my enormous guitarist . Rolling stone magazine made a big mistake by leaving John Mayer out of the top 10 of the best guitar players . btw i didnt understand what u meant by "clinched the deal" ..

  • there's no reason to dislike it <3

    Idk why John Mayer isnt on the top 10 best guitarist of the world .

  • @ankennk Err. because he's not? He's still my hero though. I've lost count on the number of times his songs has helped me clinched the deal, if you know what I mean :)

  • this song reminds me of my bf.he sang to me.but on one condition,i cant look at his face while he sings it..awwwwwwww.. <3

  • Great song. My parents should listen to this.

  • one of my faves from John Mayer, must have heard it a thousand times already...

  • @falc0n3 You're doing it all wrong fella. John Mayer gives us the tools to hook them ladies with - but you ain't gonna get anything if you continue spending all your time listening to his songs!

  • Fathers, be good to your daughters

    Daughters will love like you do

    Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

    So mothers, be good to your daughters too

    SO TRUE!!!! cannot agree more.......

  • love this song so much............. oh inspiring

  • Sweetest song by far.

  • I just cant stop loving this song. Everything about it is perfectly made.

  • John Mayer FTW!

  • I heard this song in Gilmore Girls. Funny how I hate John Mayer but this song really won me over with its simplicity and honesty.

  • the girl is cute :)

  • i thought this was a amazingly a blast nut not!!!!!! tell me why

  • i love this song! its awesome!

  • Go Jennifer Aniston ! :)

  • well i always fall in love with mayer's eyes. i dont know why, i love his eyes. aaargh!

  • i love this song...

  • what a song

  • i never knew john mayer has full lips

  • Love the song but with such a beautiful girl as Gemma Ward they could have made a cooler video clip. I'm not sure that particular make up suits Gemma, She looks best with a natural look.

  • one of my fave songs, i just love it!!!

  • im listenin again

  • Nice song but gemma ward is useless here. She just stands there looking drunk/stoned and not doing a good job of it

  • Gemma Ward !

  • why the fuck would he put gemma ward in his video? so weird.

  • Why not?

  • what's wrong with that ?

  • One of the best songs ever written.

  • All parents should hear this song, b/c it is so true.

  • I am a mature woman and love John's music.

  • RIP dad 07'

  • Aww, sorry to hear that hun *hug*. Bless your heart.

  • This song is beautiful. There is just something about acoustic guitar.

  • noooo way is gemma ward the girl?? she's way to young for him.

  • thank you John

  • Am I only the only straight adult male who enjoys John Mayer? Seems like nothing but twelve year old girls, lol.

  • No, you are not.

  • @TheJayTrain I'm not adult, but I'm a 15 year old straight guy that likes John Mayer :)

  • well im 16 haha and i love playing his songs for the ladies lol

  • Lol im 16 too. I love his songs :)

  • One of my favorite songs, ever.

  • i love this song ! and so dose the girl i like hope she will end up likeing me !

  • you fucking fail at life.

  • i absolutly LOVE john mayer!!! my #1 fave song by him!:)

  • Yeah, i'm fo sho getting the album today :) so excited!!!

  • truly an inspiring song for everyone out there. young and old. wise and, not wise. it shows a ton of beautiful messages, all u gotta do is read between the lines.

  • So simple, so great! Please Check out Lindsey Smith from The Regulars Band if you have a second. She covers Johns new song Who Says so well : )

  • (wow)

  • This song has some very disturbing lyrics (all things considered) with a very somber undertone...listen to the first (only verse) and first bridge...

    basically about a girl who he (Mayer) loves but cant figure out...tries everything he can to understand why she is the way she is and realizes that it has "nothing to do with him (me)" and puts her (problems) on her parents (particularly the father)...

  • love the song

  • Gemma Ward is beautiful in this video...the #1 Austrlian Supermodel...sorry I know this is irrelevant...

  • i always loved this song, but right now it hits me harder than ever. there's a guy at my youth group who has a lot of issues in his life, parental, mental, you name it. When he gets solitary and elusive, I try and talk to him, and he completely ignores me. I used to think it was something i did, but im getting to know him better, and "I'm starting to see maybe it's got nothing to do with me."

    this kid needs prayer. i really hope he gets better as time goes on.

  • LUFF this song. Good message, good voice.

  • Wow

  • okay..so whats the story behind this song? duz anyone know?

  • He is saying to the parents to treat their kids, especially daughters right and love them dearly, because whichever way the daughters see the fathers treat the mothers, thats likely how they will be in a relationship. Basically sometimes when a girl break his heart or what not, the problem isnt with him or what he can do, its the fact that the girl wasnt really experience to love in her home, she saw his father left etc.. lol just saying hun, if that makes sense."children live what they learn"

  • or "Children learn what they live" either one works =D

  • true, thanks

  • good song.

  • great guitar player

  • Favorite. :]

  • yes

  • LOL there's been a lot of comments that Gemma looks like Kate when she has bangs. Also comparisons to her looking like Amanda Seyfried

  • LOVE Gemma!

  • my dad luvs this song...

    figures

  • An amazing song. =)

  • Comment removed

  • i will always love this song. it's so emotional and lovely. john mayer is a wonderful man.

  • i love this song, it makes me cry though. it makesme feel badabout the things i say tomy mommy anddaddy sometimes...

  • message in a bottle for cheesemarket two

  • John Mayer:

    great singer: check

    cute: check

    sweet: check

    plain out awsome: double check

    lovable: check

    How can you not love him?

  • 101multimia, i got one you left out. . . He's an asshole in real life. . . (that gets rid of your sweet and lovable check)

  • lol big difference between asshole and straight forward.

  • I dunno, i guess you could say that.  i mean hes crazy good at guitar, but hes just so full of himself.

  • do you know him personally?

  • this song just makes me think of all the stuff that i did to my parents and never said sorry to them

  • ZIRA AND ERIKA  DADDY LOVES U !!!!!!!!!

  • such an amazing talent/writer.

  • i fucking loooove john mayer, hes a guilty pleasure of mine.

  • no, cuz he has a deep voice

  • it's really a nice song, with his wonderfull voice:k

  • Thats true, If you wanna hear John Mayer's New Song released Yesterday Featuring taylor Swift, Go to my ParkourAmour Page and you'll find it!:) its a great song

  • wtf hes not gay.

  • wow its funny how ppl have arguments about ppl they dont even know haha but i really love this song john mayer is amazing=]

  • its funny because he has dated some of the hottest girls in the world. And all they talk about is how good at sex he is. So looks like your the gay one, faggot.

  • I would if he gave me a little bit of the like 100 million he made last year. He must be doing something right

  • Haha k im gay, and your cute. I wanna suck your peepee instead ;)

  • what makes him so gay,,, saying somethign like that makes you sound liek a bitch as far as youtube comments go.... which isnt far..... homosexual wise i dont see how that is relevent,,, but gay as in being in touch with his feminine, side i guess that is reasonable,,,,,

  • Thanks for the definition jamielovesX :)

  • Search "Deep Guitar Improv", first video.

  • i want this played at my wedding!!!!

  • THIS THT SHIT THO..=] <3

  • actually, the song is bout how he meets a girl who is quite broken over a past relationship and he thinks that her parents played a roll in how she took it. so basically, hes saying maybe if parents love their daughters the best they can, they will be strong. its quite deep.

    i love john mayer :)

  • IM 19 with a 8 monath old daughter and im going to show my kid how to being a good person will pay off, how much love there is in this world. I may not be able to change the way she thinks but ill be able to show her how to love.

  • Thats all we can do, and eventually little by little we can change the world for the better.

    Good Luck I hope things go well.

  • Thanks. It means a lot. :)

  • john mayer is cool

  • Isnt' this song a commentary on a mother's love, put simply? I think he's saying that if a woman is given unconditional love from her mother (in particular) she will in turn love the man in her life in that same way. Our learned behaviour comes principally from our parents and with girls, from their mothers so I think its a great song lyric in that respect.

  • The lyrics are about mothers and fathers in the first place... The relation with her father and the image a woman have of him will shape the way she sees her man... He says: fathers... your "daughters will love like you do" and mothers "be good to your daughters too". A great song indeed.

  • Wisdom in these lyrics. Love this song.

  • Dear Jesus, I love him :)

  • lmfao thats the chick from the strangers!! the blonde one!! lol aside from that this song is amazingg.

  • love it <3

  • this song is brilliant...i don't think any song even comes close to this one....its just perfect...

  • nice song

  • he has huge lips!! yum!

  • 3 :34 min

    ORGASM

  • Amen brother

  • this is a note to all of you ladies out there, when youve been with a man for a long period of time, and your relationship has been the best thing that has ever happened to him, dont go out and just stop talking to him, or being agitated everytime he calls wanting to know whats going on. this happened to me, she is the love of my life, and on a complete whim she has just stopped contacting me. she held my heart in her hand and tore it to pieces, for every guy out there just tell him its over

  • this happened to me wit a guy

  • you right man

  • i love this white boy he is sooo cute and he sound sooo good and mellow

  • omg i just love this song i never get tired of it

    :) <3

  • one of my favourite songs of all time!

    if you like john mayer - check out Sullivan Street - Away From Me, you might like them.

  • Is Gemma Ward one of the killers in "the strangers"?... She looks better without the mask... LOL. Nice and meaningful song though... ^____^

  • hes ugly but a good singer. lol my opinion

  • *gasp* i think he's gorgeous, except he looks funny when he sings sometimes. but when he's not singing he's GORGEOUS! lol

  • well knowing john mayer's reputation he was probably dating that girl at the time and decided to throw her in there or something

  • the girl is a metaphor for what happens if a girl doesn't get love as a child, she loses the feeling to belong, & so she feels the need to reach out to get the attention she wasn't given, even if she doesn't realize that the attention she's getting is negative. (she's a stripper)

  • beautiful song :)

  • this song is amazing. my friend not that long ago passed away and they played this song at her funeral. i have grown to love john mayer because of this amazing song.

    rip girl</3 miss you

  • Amazing insight from one so young...

  • this vid is kind of pointless - good song but the vid doesn't go with it.

    And y is there a random girl mouthing the words - she looks creepy...

    I love this song though!! love love it!! my theme song :D

    I just think he should come up witha diff music vid :S

  • she's not a random girl, she's the australian model gemma ward..

  • ya but why is she in the video being all creepy-like XD

    don't get me wrong I love the song - but the video just doesn't make sense

  • Your name doesn't make sence?

  • it does to my family and my friends

    besides, yours doesn't make sense either

  • he's playing guitar and singing, how is that pointless?

  • how the girl (who apparently is GEMMA WARD) is just sitting there and mouthing the words - like (besides the fact that she's a girl) what does she have to do with the song - or her just sitting there - the song doesn't talk about a pretty girl sitting

  • erm...the song starts "I know a girl, she puts the colour inside of my world" and he sings about mothers and daughters....need any more clues?

  • Well. He clearly has problems getting to a girl because she seems to be a 'moving maze' and that probably has something to do with her father, not treating his family and her right.

    at least. that's what i hear. and its also very personal in my case.

  • Yeah that's the idea lol..I don't believe I mentioned any issues in misunderstanding the plot?

  • ok, what i'm getting from it is that it is simply an introduction to the story he is telling. it is introducing the characters.

  • love his voice

  • love this song.

  • you ignorant piece of shit

  • i would still prefer 2Pac

  • haha where did 2pac come into this?

  • people like you are ruining the word mont140 put it simple and beutiful

  • i heard this song on the radio and it was driving me crazy because of how much i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how did you know it's gemma??

  • gemma ward kinda looks liek hilary duff in some parts of this lol

  • really? I thought she looked like Kate Hudson

  • yeh heaps like kate hudson!

  • John is a very sweet guy and he does care about women. You can't believe everything you read in a tabloid. It's not a ridiculous song. He is saying that the way a person is treated growing up effects the kind of person they will become and so you should do the best you can to make sure they are loved and taken care of.
