  • like if you listen to this in 2012!

  • It was recorded the first time he ever played it...he didn't say what the name was at the time, and I'm not sure he ever has since. But since this was the first video of this song put on the web, I just called it the Hotel Bathroom Song because that's where he said he wrote it.

  • This is called Everything you'll ever be

  • The Hurt

    Sucker

    Why did you mess with forever

    Hotel Bathroom song

    A break in the clouds

    I don't know if "I cant take that plane" was released, its a great song

    His version of California Dreamin is great too.. awesome musician

  • @Bluesisnotrock don't forget covered in rain

  • y is mayer's unreleased songs better than the released ones???

  • Liquid velvet voice and a warm, tender heart...and a genius for lyrical compositions. Love this man.

  • @MrAigiants I guess you were talking about yourself when you wrote that comment

  • God I love this man!

  • Absolute perfection.

  • he has a voice of an angel

  • flawless besides 1:59 but that's john mayers badass style.

  • Views are well into the 6 figures and it makes perfect sense. One of the best musicians/artists of all time, the first time performing a new song, and EXCELLENT camera and audio work. Thank you!

  • songs like this convince me that there is so much good in this man.

  • fucking spectacular. 

  • 1:59 doesnt sound good but the rest is great

  • @Danklin24 I read your commented and waited for it but I dont see how it was that bad. maybe SLIGHTLY flat but not enough to comment about it.

  • that must of been one long shit in that hotel bathroom!!!

  • my god.

  • Hope he is not saving the best for last. As far as I have gathered all of his unreleased songs are amazing.

  • Why hasn't this or "In Your Atmosphere" been released properly!?!?

  • @minerva6 "In Your Atmosphere" was released on John's live CD/DVD called "Where the LIght Is." Get the DVD if you haven't seen it. It's amazing.

  • @DonnaFirsty I absolutely love In Your Atmosphere - I could listen it all day - so touching.

  • @topshelflori I agree

  • He is just like Dave... so many unreleased jems

  • Sorry. To the melody of the verse: "when mayer starts to sing these songs, Clouds dont move no telephone calls, Cause time stands still and heaven fall(s), to the ground where mayer sings it all"

  • Wi the melody of the verse: "When Mayer starts to sing these songs,

  • this song is actually called, "Everything You'll Ever Be" its a great one though

  • ive never been able to pick my favourite john mayer song but now this is definately it. it deserves to be on his next record

  • his best ever.

  • This song kicks ass. Saw it live in Milwaukee. Would love to hear it again either on an album or next concert. Love JM.

  • I agree with a lot of the comments here.

    The song just wouldn't be the same in a studio environment.

  • @livXXXlove It seems that he's talking to someone else...considering he says "you were only 5 yrs old, playin princess in your mothers clothes" Then hes calling himself a female, unless its a metaphor for something else. It seems he's singing about how he already loves a person that does not love themself...like when he says "the mirror's are a losing game" thats the other person who won't accept themself, whereas mayer says he accepts them already...just my take

  • No slap-picking?! Haha, I'm so used to John using the slap technique. Without a doubt one of my favorite Mayer songs to date. Can't deny how powerful and poetic an artist he is.

  • There is no point in recording this!It is already perfect!It has to sound the way it sounds!This is pure art!From the heart!My favourite song!So relateble!Love you man!

  • @MArtsKasabov Exclamation mark.

  • Listening to this song i feel it's johns way of trying to express to us and in someways and more importantly himself how he really feels, his inner insecurities and his struggle within himself to never quite live up to an image he formed of how he thinks he should act and should be. The answer i think is that hes actually always been that person hes desired so much to be, just unable to see it until now. Always trying so hard to fit in and be liked by everyone instead of just being himself.

  • That's another Grammy

  • this is so beautiful, ill cry if it isnt on his next album!

  • when will he record this??

  • i love this!

  • Anyone know if John alternates picking here or is it all fingerpicked?

  • @JohnnyFive06 definitely only fingerpicking. mayers pretty big on that, especially with his acoustic

  • He write the best love songs ever....

  • I feel like I've watched this a thousand times, yet each time I listen to it I get even more out of it.

  • @johnielsen08 nah man i agree. I don't understand why awesome mellow shit like this doesnt make the record. At least a bonus track or something. Great lyrics.

  • I meant @willraz

  • @ willrazz the chords actually 300200 if it was tabbed

  • John Mayer, you've saved my life in countless ways

  • great!

  • This is what i live for

  • this is going to be my wedding song :)

  • Can someone help me out? I can't figure out the third chord, sounds like a G but he plays it differently, thank you!

  • @willraz at 0:05

  • @willraz 300030

    if it were a tab that would be it

  • Amazing!!

    

  • Is there anyone who can put this on my ipod?

  • <3 

  • F*ck me man this guy is just the greatest songwriter of all time. OF ALL TIME.

    - Kanye.

  • @epicalice lol, love both Kanye and John <3

  • I absolutely love this song!!!!

  • John Mayer should pull a fast one on us and release all the unreleased songs.

    It'd be a fuckin success

  • @almostlover72 he and many bands should,,,, some bands would be more popular and surface better if they came out with albums like that... or even taking special live feeds from random people that came out stellar and made an entire album of those songs.. ive said it for years but record labels that chase money.. for some reason arent picking up on the idea.... theres an artist out there... wont name names but he is great on his live youtube feeds.. his album not so much.. make a youtube album!

  • he needs to record this...i am pretty sure this would be my favorite song...anyone agree?

  • @jmac25928 Agreed!!!!

  • @jmac25928 you got your wish lol

  • John Mayer What an Incredible Musician !!!

  • Dear John Mayer, I love you. That is all.

  • Next song was going to be Comfortable!!!!

  • @england716 comfortbale or Free falling.

  • @corman1111 Right!!! Both awesome!

  • @england716 True story

  • @england716 He actually went into 'I'm On Fire' then '3x5' good guess with capo three though!

  • he writes the most beautiful songs, ever.

  • People love to hate on JM because if you were to take any single one of his aspects (singing, songwriting, musicianship) and look at them individually, he would still be better than 95% of artists today, yesterday and long, long ago. So when you put those 3 together, you get somebody that is so freakin' talented, it just isn't fair. People that are hired to "write good songs" for other artists can't even write as good as JM does.

  • @timijai22 in this world we live, people tend to always go for the easier. that's why they prefer to listen to "When I see your face

    There's not a thing that I would change

    'Cause you're amazing

    Just the way you are"

    straight words. easy to "understand".

    when they have this, they won't even try to understand the magic behind "And you were only five years old

    Playing princess in your mother's clothes".

    sad.

  • @alxlief And yet Mayer still sells more records and tickets than Bruno. That's the great thing about really good music. Once it breaks through - it really breaks through. When it comes to your assertion that that pop culture consistently embraces the lowest common denominator... I couldn't agree more.

  • @timijai22 he isn't the best singer though, I disagree with you there. But I share the other

  • :') John you are something !!

  • I think this is my favorite song he has ever written. Beautiful.

  • Should be on a album.

  • i will NEVER get sick of this song

  • Incredible video and amazing song. I know a guy named Ricky vasquez who is almost as amazing no lie

  • @ExHe18

    lol your so funny

  • @TheJenniReid why do you have to come to youtube to put down other artists? your listening to a rare but amazing recording and you find the need to dis bruno mars? really? people are so retarded now a days.

  • @joiner1983 It actually seems that people these days are just over sensitive, cause not once did I say Burno Mars sucks. I like Mars, and I love Mayer. Mars is very popular for his love songs, and as a Mayer fan I was just stating that John is back & he is the one who owns the love song of today's artist.

  • @TheJenniReid well if youre a big mayer fan as you claim then you know that this song is actually a year old and hes already said his next album will not be the sappy love songs. and im a huge Mayer fan (i have 2 tattoos of the guy) and even i would say he does not own the love song of todays artist

  • @joiner1983 Actually, this song isn't even a year old. It was played earlier this year on his Battle Studies Winter Tour. Also, I don't know where you got your source of him not putting out any more "sappy love songs"... he recently performed three new songs at the Village Underground in NY and one of three is what I suppose you'd call a "sappy love song".

  • @browneee07 my source is from his mouth. he said it at both concerts i went to this summer

  • I don't care who this song is about, I don't care that he's lacking a awesome guitar rift.. I just care about the happiness I feel right now thanks to him. This song is beautiful.. This is my John Mayer. It's good to have him back. <3

  • who would dislike this ?

  • Comment removed

  • amazing.. im looking foward to new music from this guy.. He needs to go back to songs like this.. beautiful .

  • I wonder who this song is about?

  • Comment removed

  • It is most likely about JS. She sometimes tweeted lyrics from this song. She would say, a good friend or someone once told me, and then she would quote the line about not worrying so much about her looks and the mirror is only backwards anyway and other lines from the song. He has said he loved the women he dated longterm. I think he truly loved her but his life was crazy busy and for many reasons, he wasn't ready to settle down.

  • @mlina21 another reason I think it might be about JS is he wrote it just after the whole firestorm started about the two articles where he went overboard and he was probably in agony about his big mouth. She said in interviews she was refusing his attempts to apologize. Also, she was at that time trying to start the show about being physically self conscious. The lyrics are as if he's telling her he loves and appreciates her. "will you hear me singing out tonight?"

  • does anyone know what guitar is that? I would love to get on like that, but I just can't see the brand....

  • @Janitoduartesilva dude its a martin, u can tell be the headstock and i can kinda make out the logo

  • @Janitoduartesilva Its a martin om 28 john mayer signature model. Gonna cost you a helll of alot too man haha

  • Somehow he finds the lyrics that I have some where in me.... Everything I want to say to all the important people in my life he's already said. It sucks haha.

  • awesome song!

  • I love John because every emotion a human goes through he has written or writing a song about it. All his songs are like the soundtrack to life. He is so complicated and a person can barely understand him but when he sings he brings us right where he wants and we understand everyword. We get caught in the feeling and moment of every song to where the only to feel that again is the listen to the song again..

  • @aothing you are so right, sometimes i wonder if he knows my life lol x

  • its incredible to me how he can pull at all of your emotions so hard with only his voice and his acoustic guitar

  • just a deeply moving song. shivers!

  • holy baby jesus im so glad i ran into this video!!!

  • Wooow !! Sooo beautiful !

  • Everything John Mayer writes is beautiful, but this song is really beautiful. Not many songs or movies can make me cry, but this one can... If i ever write a song half this beautiful, i will not need to do more with my life.

  • In your atmosphere, Hotel Bathroom Song, Stop this Train, Wheel.

    He is a genius.

  • @nutmegg503 Is in your atmosphere in one of his Albums? i went HMV but couldnt find it.

  • @WahTakVong It is on Where the Light Is his live concert in LA. But other than that it is unreleased.  It is incredible though, enjoy.

  • @WahTakVong No, just in Where The Light Is. Other than that it hasn't been on one of his studio recorded albums.

  • and this is called hotel bathroom song?? and he probably didn't record it because he thinks the lyrics are funky :/ but its really good

    

  • and this is called hotel bathroom song?? and he probably didn't record it because he thinks the lyrics are funky :/

  • Why can't he record these brilliant unknown songs?? Saw at this concert and it was awesome live.

  • This is so much better than 'Who Says'. I miss songs like this!

  • It's been a long night in Milwaukee...

  • How could 8 people possibly dislike this? the only reason someone could have to dislike this is if they were deaf and therefore unable to listen.

    Beautiful <3

  • my vote is that he writes songs like this and In Your Atmosphere more often...

  • i hear a lot of dave matthews in this song, i think it's some of the melody. not that it's taken from a dave matthews song but it sounds like something he would write.

    ps i really like this song

  • @rbutt88 i thought the exact same thing when i heard this.....kinda like "christmas song" by dave matthews.

  • LET'S ALL GET MARRIED WITH HIM.

  • this song is freaken good! his song writing ability is insane!

  • i would love to see this released as a really simple acoustic single without much added to it. or if he did some sort of live intimate recording session. what a fantastic song, hopefully he'll record it and release it at some point

  • @acousticheadphones that's the way I'd like to hear pretty much every single one of his songs

  • OMFG!!!!! HEARD THIS IN THE BEGINNING stages at his soundcheck in Huntsville Alabama on Feb 5 2007. The line about her being a princess stuck in my friggin head for days. Now to hear it again...Must have a moment.

  • what a beautiful... beautiful song.

  • stunning. stunning. stunning.

    beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1:12 ... if my dear.... (what does he say at this point?)

    ive heard so many versions...

    if my dear im lancelot...

    if my dear im wrong somehow

    if my dear im lonesome now

    what is it?

  • @ClaireyTeri its "if my dear I am wrong somehow"

    he played it on a Ustream chat a couple months back and you could hear it clearly.

  • @may4834 THANK YOU ! :D

  • @ClaireyTeri It sounds to me like 'wrong somehow' but not sure!

  • beyond beautiful- but could you expect anything less from JM? sitting here trying to learn it... got the chords but does anyone have the picking pattern?

  • absolutely beautiful.

  • one of mayers best songs so far in my opinion

  • found this last night and i've listened 233 times.. made me cry

    this is beautifullllllll!!!!!!!

  • That is the translation of goosebumps, good fellings and sweet loving to lyrics. That's very John Mayer and I love it.

  • JM is so complex, which makes him so misunderstood. Alot of what he says is taken out of context. He has become the Guy that people love to hate.

  • @HaleyTylertoo I agree 100%. I hate the way the media rags on him. There's so much more to John Mayer than anyone knows.

  • @HaleyTylertoo

    That is so true. People just gotta shut up!! I think John rocks...

  • @HaleyTylertoo yeah, hes sooo crazy smart and he sees things and sees the world in a way which people dont, but if u take 5 min to think and asses the situation its like, huh u know for a "dbag" he has a point...i dont think hes a dbag, just saying

  • i loooove this song!!!

  • aw this such a cute song!!!

  • I think I'm in love....

  • i just squermed

  • @orangejuice511 Yeurk... oups me too.

  • i really love the lyrics!

  • what is it called though?

  • Simple yet powerful. Similar to Stop This Train. Who Says was similar in the styling of guitar however the lyrics weren't that powerful. They were catchy, but the question "who says I can't get stoned?" really doesn't speak to many. This song is just both lyrically and musically beautiful. Can not wait for John's next album :)

  • I love this song. It gives me chills.

  • I like this, very much like a Bruce Springsteen song but with the touch of Mayer that makes it his own in anyway! Nice! :D

  • i can't stop listening to this song.

  • This song is incredible... This is exactly what he needs to do. Keep it simple and make music that speaks to people without thinking too hard about it.

  • now THIS is the mayer i've missed!

  • @Ela1337 i deffentaly agree i like this mayer alot better

  • @Ela1337 agreed

  • anybody else noticed how strange it is that he keeps on changing from a 3/4 beat to a 4/4 one? i don't know if you get what i mean...

  • @salvamg89 yeah, the intro sections and the bridge are in 4/4 and the verse and chorus are in 3/4. gives it kind of a cool feel i think.

  • one of the deepest songs he has ever written

    <
