John Butler - What You Want (Acoustic Live)

[Googlyeye74]

if John Butler says this song is called Far Away, then it's fucking called Far Way

[JBTSkRiLlExSHM]

@DrdoubleDD he actually says em' short them John butler isn't gay he's married to the a singer named Mama Kin

[elliel0ve]

I'd tap that

[shetarynitup]

@elliel0ve haha fo real lady :P most girls dream of finding theyre rich "Prince Charming", i dream of finding my dirty broke "John Butler" :) lol much luch!

[GoldPondFrog]

Good music, good looking guy but the hair is kinda gross.

[DrdoubleDD]

and btw did he actually say: "missing HIM most of the year" ? xD

[DrdoubleDD]

wtf does anyone else think that his voice sounds like anthony kliedis, the singer of red hot chilli peppers xD

[SkunkFunk927]

He is truly a musical genius.

[mmmollie27]

i would like to love it. as i do. 

[1jadejag]

Haunting and beautiful, love this!

[amine0999]

It's far awayy

[dasantischaf]

the dislikes came from 74 of his former girlfriends :D

[MrRabin1956]

The MTV unplugged version of this would be a bald man hitting his fat belly and making funny noises. This is too raw for the untrained ear :)

[1234knightster]

" this next song is called far away"

but the vid says what you want......... im confuseddddd

[clemsonfan00000]

@1234knightster He renamed the song later on

[HeartBeatPDuctions]

if you dislike why the fuck did you even start listening to music in the first place

[crazymarko88]

@HeartBeatPDuctions 'Cause in order to like or dislike the song, you must hear it first, you dumbass... I'd hit dislike on this video, 'cause of the bad sound quality. Song I like... I didn't dislike it though.

[suckerdude07]

i honestly feel sad when he stops

[hecnj001]

@0Mordon09, no-one deserves a fist in the face, simply because they don't have your music appreciation.

[l1ttleguy1]

@hecnj001 you deserve a fist in the face

[VvGamingLoungevV]

I love him with a beard :D

[SilentBombr]

witness the world's best guitarist

[mipiul]

*-*



[0Mgordon09]

who disliked this? they need a fist in the face.

[FuryBrazil]

@0Mgordon09 no fist. arrow. to the knee. hehehe I kid. they should get a foot in the face

[0Mgordon09]

@FuryBrazil skyrim reference :)

[najbighouse]

@FuryBrazil they don't deserve nothing! not even an arrow to the knee. Foreveralone is what he deserves to be haha

[MasterofChuckNorris]

@0Mgordon09 Calling CHUCK NORRIS!

[NinjaAndTheBlonde]

@EuphoriasGotGame, @testarn2010 .... i just liked the song:L

[andre21371]

this is the john butler i absolutely love and admire as a fellow musician

[xJamanz]

the song is called far away? he says it is, the program says it is..?

[zabuza360]

jb is not god because got dose not exsist

[SkunkFunk927]

@zabuza360 Agreed.

[2chmia]

amazing...what else to say/write...

[3wrighty]

JB is not God cause God is intangible. Pretty sure i could give JB a high 5. and i would if i saw him.

[Bindlossclun]

@3wrighty i wouldn't. when i saw him i freaked out and ran away

[blameitonthefatkid99]

I love the tempo change and chord progression... o yea his voice is pretty good too i guess :)

[highschoolpoptart]

what about John Frusciante he looks like Jesus and sounds like God too

[ActionFreestyle]

@highschoolpoptart think you are watching the wrong video, dude...

[highschoolpoptart]

@ActionFreestyle Noooo, I think i'm watching the right one bro

[highschoolpoptart]

@ActionFreestyle Nope :3

[Dboggs55]

Listen. A musician of his calibre can have songs that are exactly alike. And JBT is NOT God. dont go there

[AndTheWestBegins]

this song reminds me a lot of "ocean".

[JakeyBoi1694]

@AndTheWestBegins its the same guitar tuning =)

[9862972]

In her skin :)

[redmatchbox]

@panoritsa1 that's an odd assessment. This man proves that it is humanly possible to be godly. Seems to me that would be a nice goal:P

[goodearth97]

@panoritsa1 Doesn't it make you want to keep playing forever?

[zienzile]

@shoeygirl90 in her skin is the only reason i know anything about jbt...now i love them. I still havent made it through the movie, i keep starting it over because i love the dance scene.

[DaVballPlayer]

His music is so beautiful. <3

[deanopatty123]

Chords in standard tuning

C, A minor add G (A minor chord with little finger on 1st string 3rd fret), Eminor, B minor

Enjoy! :)

[edgarastihonovas]

amazing lyrics What you wanna say, Wait until you get home. I'm sick of communicating now over the telephone. Tell me how you feel, For I am lonely too Need you to know I'm just as cold and numb as you. But I could fly away, Or I could be no one. And you could be the Sunshine falling over the mountain You could come to stay Yes you could come right home I don't see why I have to Live this life all alone. I know there is a way to make up for mistakes I know what's happening is for a reason

[Ultramega0]

I think there are more dreadlocks on John's head than people disliked this



[sargentwrecker]

This song is really kick

[whtevdidiwnts]

This song makes me cry... but I listen to it everyday without fail. Soo beautiful!

[GagasLitteMonster]

Wow he's Irish...that just made him 100% more hotter

[MrChristoferoful]

@GagasLitteMonster He's not Irish lol.

[GagasLitteMonster]

@MrChristoferoful He's Australian which is even better LOL soz I didn't know before I posted that comment.

[1983idris]

@GagasLitteMonster hez actually aussie!! i went 2 school with him!!! i dont know where u got the irish from?!!

[GagasLitteMonster]

@1983idris I know I realised before, and tbh I don't know where I got Irish from either

[ManfromEarth2010]

Great Song to Jam to

[rutwicksees]

I stopped learning guitar cause I didn't have one and my parents weren't ready to buy me one (as I was a student and would waste time playing that thing).

But now I make my own bucks and I'm buying a guitar ! Yes indeed ! This guy is crazy !

[tetavancha]

I know there is a way to make up for old Mistakes

And I know what's happening is for a reason

I know...

[AcousticJW]

i guess he changed the name because he was on a 'program' called what you want..

look from 0:30 :)

[Shoeygirl90]

I love this song. Its from in her skin based on the true story of young rachel barber who was murdered by her jealous 19 year old neighbor caroline. I suggest watching the movie. the beginning is the best where rachel dances with her bf manny. i love it

[sargentwrecker]

@Shoeygirl90 I agree the movie is really good but the last part when this song is played at the church i got a cold feeling that went up my back and knowing its a true story just really creeped me out!

[heffo888]

Awesome Maton!!



[BradE17]

@joeylerouso I bet you gave this song 2 stars in your blog....

[pridekingx]

240p.... we meat again =.=

[mscramp]

John Butler.

HAVE MY BABIES SO THEY MAY PLAY AS AWESOME AS YOU! <3

[poopedmahpants]

@mscramp by what means do you plan on inseminating a man?

[mscramp]

@poopedmahpants you just made me LOL

id use seduction ;) lmfao.

[Pughteighttoe]

If John Butler calls this song "Far Away", then this song is called "Far Away"! End of story.

[TheRobbo1422]

the reason i have a twelve string on order is this man.

[euamofarofa]

Great, just great

[MrStasiko]

no words.. it's awesome !!!

.amazing

[tellmebaby820]

i wonder how chiefed he got b4 this

[pierceman1212]

I worship this guy, its only right considering hes god. But I idol this guy above all else

[Aaron637]

@pierceman1212  Thats sad. Its like choosing dirt over cake.

[pierceman1212]

@Aaron637 Fuck you Nimrod. Your probably like one of those faggot ass pricks that listens to that fake ass pop shit and what not. I do what this guy does as much as i can. We lay our lives and emotions into our guitars. He has reinspired what real music is. So have some respect asshole Ill kick your ass at music anytime you want me too. This guy is the fuckin meaning of talent

[Aaron637]

@pierceman1212 lol, Sorry man, I agree he's an amazing musician, one of my favourites. But He's no God. God is far greater than this guy. Thats what I was refering to. I dont like pop stuff....incubus is my favourite band, Butler is up there, Beirut, Foster. Ur right, this guy is the meaning of talent...but hes not the meaning of God. U misread my message...hes unmatched musically (bar incubus).

[TheTwister17]

@Aaron637 compared to this guy, God is SHIT

[TheTwister17]

@Aaron637 This might be a shock to you, but no, he didn't.

[tokotu123]

@Aaron637 If you're going to be religeous, God didn't make this guy, god only made Adam and Eve.

[testarn2010]

@Aaron637 God is sucking my fat dick right now. Hahahah how can u even believe in god? All religion is BS. Be independent of bs like religion. Whats the matter? U got no brain? You believe in god cause your parents raised u to do so. Think outside the box, stupid fuck.

How can it all even make sense for you? You believe in 2012 & illuminati aswell? Tard

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@testarn2010 You're ignorant as fuck, holy shit.

[testarn2010]

@EuphoriasGotGame What? Im ignorant cause I dont like god and think he is pure BS? Riiight... You are pretty stupid if u think there is somewhere up there that you can "pray to" and "he hears me, im sure" HAHAH.

You like fantasy movies n shit aswell? Come on. Why and how do u even believe in it? And why do you sacrifice YOURSELF to this.Never understood Chris-people, or any religion for that matter.What makes you so eager, naive & desperate to just believe in such thing?Story made x k years ago

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@testarn2010 I don't know where telling you to shut the fuck up. Turned into I believe in God and like fantasy movies. Never once did I say "pray to" or "he hears me, So, I don't know why you're quoting those words. Nor did I ever say I sacrifice myself for anything. Now, seeing as every argument you had there was based on an assumption. Let me give you some facts. I don't believe in a man on a cloud or any ridiculous notion like that. Now, on to what I do believe.

[testarn2010]

@EuphoriasGotGame Correct, that was my assumption. Though, every christian person I've met - that's how they believe in all this. Sure, that was a hasty generalization I guess.

[Aaron637]

@testarn Matter appeared out of nothing and arranged itself into orderly reproducing bodies. Use your brain...maybe if the universe consisted of just one element randomly scattered across the universe, where no higher consciousness existed, then it may be possible to say there is no god...but there would be no one to think or say that. Pretty arrogant statement to say there is no god with absolute certainty...i can respect agnostics but atheists are simply reactionary anti-theists.

[marvsiceslice]

@Aaron637 I didnt come to a JB video to debate theism but just a little something before you use the word arrogant. Learn what the words "atheist" and "agnostic" actually mean. Agnostic contrary to dumb Christian beliefs does not mean "im not sure" and Atheist does not mean "I believe there is no God". Atheists are not anti-theists and any atheist who believes in absolute certainty is as dumb as the Christians who state they know God exists 100%

[testarn2010]

@Aaron637 What? I am supposed to use my brain? Wake up man. Look at the world. Stick everyones religionshit up in your ass. Seriously. So naive. Nobody listen to you when you "pray".Its all in your fucking head. You are ill. You are trippin on shrooms.

How can you even let a BOOK (bible) control your life? Why dont u want to explore the beautiful world yourself. Be independent etc. Never understood this. Please hit me up. Im seriously interested in a good answer (doubt this will ever happen).

[testarn2010]

@Aaron637 Btw, about the "matter appeared out of nothing" blabla. You've even read the latest on that front? Vs the Big Bang theory etc etc.

ANYWAY, its all theories. If you want to sacrify your life to a book, theories & a fuzzy story. Sure. But then the world will be BS forever. Religions doesnt work together.

Think outside the box. A book made x k years ago is not the way to live your life. Well, for weak people I guess...

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@testarn2010 You are the weak person. You are the one going around on Youtube videos spending who knows how much time, just ragging and complaining about other people. If you're really 52, GROW THE FUCK UP. You're not ignorant for not believing in God. You're ignorant for the way you speak to people. I bet in the real world you're quiet as a mouse aren't you? As for your blatant assumptions towards me, that needs it's own post in itself.

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@EuphoriasGotGame For why I -CHOOSE- to believe that there is a being, essence, whatever it may be. Is simple. I want to improve myself, I want to become a better, more productive human being. In my social life as well as my personal. It is a tool, you choose not to use. 'God' may not answer my prayers, but I don't need him to. Who better to look up to than (perfection) Which is what I view "God" as. It needs no religion, man created religion. Therefore it is tainted.

[testarn2010]

@EuphoriasGotGame How do you think christianity can help you with all this you mean? How can you believe in such things so easily? Im guessing you was born into it. Can't you live without all the religionshit?

What's your reason for prayin, the times you've prayed? Do you really think someone is listening to you? Come on..

[testarn2010]

@testarn2010 By the way. In some way you do sacrifice yourself. You are simple living by a book, more or less. You can choose not to. But you do. Isn't that weak in a way? You believe that you need this to survive - assumption again. But isnt that correct? I think thats wrong. Very (obvious since I dont believe in it).

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@testarn2010 You haven't even read my damn comments have you? I'M NOT RELIGIOUS, I'M NOT CHRISTIAN, I DON'T READ THE BIBLE. Never once did I say any of those things. You don't even know what you are fighting against anymore do you? I give up. You really are clueless. You haven't understood a word i've said. You may be one of the dumbest, most retarded most fucking generic useless shit stain of a person I have ever met. I don't know what you have against Christians. I'm not one.HELLO

[testarn2010]

@EuphoriasGotGame Hahahah umad? Bet I hit ze spot. XOXO religious babe. TROLOLO

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@testarn2010 Good luck in life.

[testarn2010]

@EuphoriasGotGame What? "You are the one going around on blabla" Your comment was here before mine? It makes us two then. Don't see anything wrong with answering someones YouTube comment, but OK. Double standard up in this.

No, I am not 21. Im 20.

What was the ignorance part in the text I wrote to you? Stop cryin and overreacting. Being a religious christian dramaqueen now. Uncool.

No, in the real world. Im pretty much the same. Since

[EuphoriasGotGame]

@testarn2010 You need some serious help. I replied to your comment telling you that you're an ignorant fool. If I replied to one of your comments, yours was there first. Now that's out of the way. ALL the text you ever write is flooded with ignorance. Look at your last post, I don't think you even know what ignorance means. You didn't even know that ignorant was the right use of the word in your last post. Go back to school, learn some shit. Then come say you're sorry. Infant.

[testarn2010]

@EuphoriasGotGame Haha OK, I need some serious help. Look at you, fool. Overreacting cause you know Im right.

Thought you there the other guy that I replied to. Really wanna win this hahah damn. Do you getting a grade by jesus for doing this shit? Repping christianity on Ytube? Loser

[mosierj3]

@pierceman1212 Diverse choice of adjectives. F your mom, and shit!

[pierceman1212]

@mosierj3 ?what



[milooffspring]

I wish he didn't speed this up

[gustavocutia]

vida longa a este mestre!

[madEternity]

inspiering

[ocarina2boy]

Magic.

[Raena33]

he has a talent for making me feel... in this over priced, over sold, frosting covered trash heap - there is yet a bit of gold!

[LiberTBo]

Actually, I think Butler sucks. He was born in the USA and moved to AUS at 11, and claims AUS as home, but lives in California too when he needs so bucks. Now that he's a 2nd tier sort of guy, he's touring bars & cafes and small music festivals in the States...........

[tjp87]

@LiberTBo Not sure how you can watch him play Ocean and say he sucks

[J0ELSTJ0HN]

If you love acoustic music, add me in your friends list! Cheers!!

[Ineees1]

Love it !

[hecnj001]

This guy is proof that there is just sometimes, something totally wonderful that just can't be explained. A treasure of Australia!!

[vcyo09]

AMAZING!

[TheKerrymahan]

i hate it when people compare JBT with god, i mean he's good , but he's not JBT!!!

[regroupstrategize]

john butler is the man. end of story.

[Kyte456]

lol I bet it sucks trying to re-string that beast

[Artyfartyify]

@Kyte456 probably just buy's another ;)

hes the highest grossing artist from australia

[ActionFreestyle]

he was the reason i've started playing guitar.. He's the reason i keep playing ;)

[actiontj2098]

so original and such a talent! always a pleasure to watch and listen too

[fazzarules]

does anyone know the heavy fast song he does i think it was on the tree album?



[DaVballPlayer]

This song is so full of emotion, it gives me the chills. <3

[Seapath1]

At one point he looks like a white version of David James.

[SayeeitaintSo]

dope

[freebeerforthumbsup]

life changing song!



[mrtaupotexas]

JBT's former percussionist Michael Barker has a new duo called Swamp Thing. Search Michael Barker Swamp Thing on You Tube and check them out. Great delta blues/roots music.

[goodearth97]

Rad.



[weemanling]

"This songs called Far Away"

// looks at title of the video.... What sorcery is this.

[Gunnakill94]

@weemanling You should sometimes read the discription...

[weemanling]

@Gunnakill94 You should get a sense of humor...... description by the way.

[ERoBB1]

@weemanling Haha. The songs title changed after the video. This was a pre-album version.

[weareJFA]

@weemanling It used to be called far away, But he changed the name

[itsfantastick]

@weemanling he renamed the song, what you want is the song's official name

[EndOfReflection]

@weemanling If you had bought the album you would know why the title says that its called what you want.

[weemanling]

@EndOfReflection Ok ?

[Orrin29]

@weemanling Read description :)

[xzvzcxvxzvxz]

@weemanling read the description, you ass.

[weemanling]

@xzvzcxvxzvxz Hahahahahahahahahaha

[simKearney]

@weemanling On his album Sunrise over sea this song is called What you want.

[babykitten77]

@weemanling its the same song though lol

[wogga1221]

the only bad thins about john butler is all his songs are in different tuning, so you have to change your guitar tuning everytime you play one of his songs :|

[imt08]

@LittleBuddha44 why did you call me babe?

[Snakepit4321]

Why does the title say what you want when the song is called far away?

[TheLaurenceYork]

@Snakepit4321 It was called Far Away before the album was released, but it was obviously decided What You Want would be a better name. Therefore, those who know the actual recorded version of the song from the album or the live album know it as What You Want. If the video had been called Far Away then nobody would realise that this was the video they were looking for, or would click on it expecting a new JBT song.

[treeva39]

can somebody make a tutorial for this song?

[Laurenmariephillips]

@treeva39 .. Watch his hands?



[FreshPS3Gaming]

lol the song is called far away so why does the title not match?

[Freeful33]

@FreshPS3Gaming because you don't read two messages down :|

[kimcade]

John Butler makes me less sad...

[myurain]

so beautiful...

[joshcaple]

@Auroraa94 go buy the songs off iTunes! it costs hardly anything & the quality of the files will be better

[imt08]

i met this guy on match.com and he told me about this song and fell in love with it. to bad he lost me by going back to his ex but wont change me on the music. thanks neil

[LittleBuddha44]

@imt08 no problem babe

[ctamos24]

oops! my bad. i just assumed haha

[ctamos24]

Love the 12-string. The sound is amazing.

[Matze170508]

@ctamos24 It's 11-string to be correctly...

[gmdinformation]

Boy, talk about over-rated....

[llFeathersll]

@gmdinformation I'm assuming for your sake that your being sarcastic

[sthugh]

@llFeathersll Always assume the truth. This was just bad.

[shadum]

@gmdinformation boy talk about retarded

[gmdinformation]

@shadum He is, ain't he.

[Krolchilla]

That's like a dream.

I search for music like this, and I found it.

:')

[Brandflugan]

The song is called Far away as they mention in the video, yet it says "What you Want" in the title. WTF?

[bass5445]

@Brandflugan its called what you want on the album. he must have changed the name of the song when released

[Kargaroc]

@Brandflugan The song was originally called Far Away but they changed the title when they released it on an album.

[lovesauce13]

this is one of my favorite songs ever... and those people need to clap louder!!!
