  • I really like this but, why would he take the exact same idea from temptations and then take the same fuckin title of the song... It's like a tribute to the original.

  • what a pleasant song

  • this is the type of songs i would like to be played in my car. ^^

  • This song is so relaxing and meditating, it's like I can feel nature when I hear those raindrops beating down. Pathetic fallacy is one cure for a broken heart.

  • i was just watching i need a doller and this popped up on the suggestion list and i couldnt beleive i found someone with the same second name! Finaly! hope hes a distant relation so i can get loadsa money !

  • @hawthorne1888 He uses Mayer Hawthorne as an alias... not his real name

  • If only Dilla was here to flip this...

  • @wekwafe that's why it's up to our generation to flip this joint right? :D

  • @pong224 Right on.

  • @wekwafe check out Dela (french producer) guess where he gets his inspiration, his Atmosphere Airlines Vol. 2 Album is on youtube, I could see him spin this track

  • Its so wild that this guy use to be DJ Haircut from AML and then started doing this as a joke and got signed to Stones Throw.

  • @asd2wvacbuw lol Robin should do this song, it sounds like something he would sing about

  • @Mr2manydecisions Yeah it does doesnt it lol. But Mayer did a really really good job.. But Robin would do EVEN better. I hope sometime in the future Robin will redo the song hopefully :P

  • i love dis song

  • Wow this is so amazing. I feel like im being taken back to the 1920's.

  • Man this song is smooth... Really reminds me of Motown.

  • Love this song so much.! <3 :)

  • I really hope this catches on.

  • @SyllDeville me too

  • I'm 11 and he got me singing this.

  • man nigga raw word

  • correction: 17 people suck and have no soul.

  • this white boy has soul.. wow i thought i was listening to old mo town for a second. plus its dope cuz he like black girls haha

  • LOVE IT, can't wait to see him in person soon, im so there. Fresno,cali

  • stones throw bringing back the soul

  • doesnt this sound like it should be sampled

  • @SOu1VIBE This is already a cover of a great. Temptations baby.

  • this guy belongs in the 60s-70s

    but why do people call this guy amazing when the same thing was done years ago?

    i mean not hating this music is dope but its been done before so it's not really amazing

    =\

  • @percymiracles23 it dosent have to be unique to be great :)

  • @percymiracles23 dumbest comment i've ever read. do you hear any other artists with a 60's vibe in the 2000's? i bet your favourite band is in the FM top 20, faggot

  • @grelssrz1 there are tons u little fuck, you clearly heard about this guy from an article on pitchfork or stereogum or some shit and decided he was the best shit since sliced bread because he was a white guy with a soulful voice, NEWSFLASH, there have been tons of them in history, elton john, just to give u a name u might have heard of ...

    and the fact that you still ask people what their fucking favorite band is tells me all i need to know about you, you can't be older than 18 grow up

  • @grelssrz1 i forgot to give u the 60s revivalist bands, but im sure you wouldn't even be able to appreciate that quality of music so i won't even bother mentioning them cos u would probably go and create a playlist and play some black angel lounge after a fuckin pearl jam live recording or some shit

  • @percymiracles23 firstly, i came across his music while searching for madlib beats. secondly, he's got his own style is what i'm saying. thirdly, what i've typed already seems to have been enough of a waste of my time... how'd you feel after writing those paragraphs, faggot? <3

  • @grelssrz1 he does not have his own style, u dumb fuck. if u knew anything about music and its history you would NOT be impressed by this guy, but alas, u are still very young and have a lot to learn, btw namedropping madlib doesn't mean sht to me, son keep trying

  • @percymiracles23 No need to be condescending, dudeman. Just be happy that someone at least appreciates this style and it isn't done cheaply. Yeah, dude is young and has a lot to learn, but have you considered that this may be the START of the learning process for them?

  • @ReaperX3ro yeah, but when you have multiple people saying that he's the only one with a 60s style out right now and that "he's not emulating anybody", it reeks of ignorance

    I mean on this guy's same fucking label you have Aloe Blacc who does the same thing, but better imo. You have Cee Lo, Janelle Monae, Amy Winehouse. There are many, many artists out right now that do what this guy does and better , but because he's a nerdy looking white guy singing soul music it's "amazing"

  • @percymiracles23 im gonna jump in here and say that although your point is really valid, you're getting pissed off at an incredibly small crowd. the four "better" artists you named are each more famous than Mayer, so clearly most people are exposed to more developed "revivalist soul." and anyhow, you shouldn't invalidate the dudes music just because of the 'ignorance' some of his listeners

    so chill!

  • @percymiracles23 Let's all just agree to disagree on these matters. A Mayer Hawthorne song shouldn't have to deal with these kinda negative comments. 'Nuff said.

  • @percymiracles23 faggot pussy cunt

  • @percymiracles23 compare this to todays music. I'd call it amazing, desptie the fact its been done before. This has soul, its reason enough for me.

  • @percymiracles23 because no one is making music this pure and honest anymore. r&b is garbage now. it's amazing because he's not just emulating the sound from years past. that's who he is. some white kid from the midwest. AMAZING.

  • @percymiracles23 just because it's been done before doesn't make it amazing. and i think he belongs right here, right now making music for people like you and i who appreciate it.

  • dis my shit

  • Feeling the Mayer hawthorne tracks fo sho and have for a minute. Keep it up Mayer. Peace!

  • 16 people suck and have no soul.

  • @clifftorres 17 and they do have souls

  • @clifftorres They must be gingers

  • @clifftorres you mean 23:)

  • stonesthrow, the 805, untouchable.

  • There is no words for this qaulity of music Mayer has soo amazingly duplicated!! BRAVO!

  • I cried...

  • Bliss

  • Is he on the same label as J Dilla was? RIP the man

  • @OplzITSCreez yes he is.and he is one of stones throw finest.

  • good shit it reminds me of the old school motown..

  • Haha fuck, I already know I'm gonna fall to sleep a few times with this superduper mellow song :):)

  • i love this sooo much <3

  • I was singing away and watching that bloody thing spinning for like a minute before I realised this wasn't the 'official' video..

  • This Boy Is smooth WOW! This make me believe music still has hope!

  • Makes me want to romance my hubby! I have fallen inlove with Mayer's singing!

  • Love his voice! Smooth & Soulful! 

  • So, according to this interview: sxsw.com/node/3505 Mayer not only sang the back-up vocal but also played every single instrument in this single. That's some serious talent, not to mention dedication, if true. I don't know how legit that site is though.

  • And lo and behold, it's raining outside now

  • great voice. Having or singing with soul isnt limited to my people, and its refreshing to have his voice enlighten new perspectives of misconceptions.

  • This man go so hard

  • its been awhile since i heard new... or newer music and just generally wanted 2 listen to it again...damn good

  • killer!

  • Comment removed

  • Mayer is fabulous!

  • I am loving this. Makes me think of Blue Magic/The Main Ingredient. That old school soul.

  • Mad love to Mayer Hawthorne. I know this is his page on youtube, but show some love to all the other cats on Stones Throw. You want something to light up to and reach mars with, listen to some Madlib. But again, keep on rockin it Haircut. One of the dopest shows I've been too 2 months back!

  • THIS SHIT IZ DOPE... GOOD MUSIC LIKE 75, 76, 77. WHITE BOY IS NICE,LOL

  • I like this song

  • this songs makes me want it to rain out now..

  • The rain outside the vinyl really makes this sound awesome.

  • i like this song a lot(: i wish it would raiin too ha;D

  • incredible voice,incredible song.

  • yo ,you know what, i started watching this jam an no lie its been raining AND i,m high lmao!!!!!

  • This is one soulful white guy

  • great idea

  • Love his musical feel on this track and the whole album!!!.....Bring back good music should be a movement with all this dumb-ass music being made.
