A small girl in red dress, red hairband touches the big bubble and jumps, so cute.

I love john mayer's music.

[beena7]

[CatchHellsBlues]

I don't want to be rude and all but new york looks ugly...

[TheShower82]

i lived in new york for 3months in 2004.its a great city,unfortunately i was living with a dickhead of a woman.... id rather have lived with john mayer

[GoddardOllie]

I went to New York for the first time this summer, I LOVED it so much, got stuck in Hurricane Irene and spent a week extra in New York, best time ever! Got a New York calendar and just got 2 posters of New York and this video and John Mayer are amazing! :)

[Beachloverathome]

this video brought tears of joy into my eyes.. :) it was beyond beautiful there is no place id rather be then in New York! :) AWESOME.. i can't even explain

[polplaysrock]

[lisola]

Do you shoot in 24 or 30 frames per second?

[funkywrestlaa]

YES! I am in this video haha! I am the guy behind the old lady walking into my sister's apt! haha

[agent784]

@funkywrestlaa Awesome! Small world. ;) Are you the one with the dog? This makes 2 people now!

[funkywrestlaa]

@agent784 definitely! no but I am right in front of him holding the coffee with my beanie and hoodie on. It's an honor to be in ur video. haha

[DreamlessNights91]

Awesome video. It makes me just want to go to NYC. *sighs* One day... I really love this video. Would you mind if I put it on my ipod? I would totally give credit to you seeing as I could most likely never do a video as well as this.

[cutis1000]

Visiting New York is quite a different experience from living there. Always remember that.

[beesweety33]

Oh my goood I miss New York. Someday I'll be back...college just has to be so damn expensive or else I'd move there right this second. <3

[shaqnave]

every single time i'm feeling bad..i turn to your video..one of the best in youtube..makes me miss new york so bad..

[agent784]

@shaqnave I'm glad it makes you happy. ;) That weekend brings a whole lot of great memories for me as well.

[zgbp874]

I am in love with this video. I was recently in NY for a couple of days. I fell completely in love with that city. I am from Honduras, a country from Central America, but I know that someday I'll live in NYC. You captured the essence of the City, and it goes absolutely perfect with the song. It is complete perfection.

[agent784]

@zgbp874 Thank you!

[RicardoEstevesTV]

Dude, you are incredible. I'm a musician and I'd love to have a music video shot and directed by you, one day. I'd know I could trust and count on you to do an excelent job. Well done!

[alesalinas1990]

oh boy..i miss NYC!

[sonka1z]

this is SO loveable!! (greetings from the heart of Europe!) :)

[FmTrash]

what camera was this filmed on???

[bornthiswaybabyyy]

This is so amazing, ti could be a real music video ^^ <3

[zizzytuts]

Wow. This made me miss New York AND John Mayer so much.

Time to put John Mayer on Shuffle and repeat. The only thing missing is New York in all its Yellow, Orange and Red Autumn-ness. I hear it's turning white this early in the year..

[mreae]

I love this. Canon 5d Mark II? What lens (or lenses)? I made a similar video (but not NEARLY as good) of downtown Portland. You did so much better with the music, with shorter scenes . . . I LOVE the way you get the music right in sync with what's happening in the video. Awesome, awesome work. I LOVE it. Search for "downtown Portland Oregon - a typical saturday" if you want to see my similar effort.

[diana94881]

What camera did you use?

[MarycarmenTV]

You inspired me and I made one of LA... with my iPhone hahaha! :) 

[MrGuiga34]

The best part: 0:00 - 3:22

[agent784]

@MrGuiga34 Thanks. ;)

[maurynyc]

I had shivers several times...and I'm watching this video over and over again. I miss New York so much...

[spacitydrummer4JC]

At 1:23 I was waiting for the train to slam on it's brakes.

[sarahccc1]

@agent784 what camera did you use for this?

[writesmiles]

i was in nyc from 2-5th, this is exactly what i was seeing, love it

[diana94881]

I've never loved a video so much. John Mayer and New York in one. Amazing, makes me even more excited for NYC next week.

[americangypsyinc]

damn you, john mayer, for making me like you!! this video is absolutely beautiful and i hate you for it!

[daniellexpowell]

This video is so powerful-- you did an absolutely amazing job with it. NY can seem like a cold place with unfriendly people, but you pinpointed all the subtle yet important moments of love that can be found if you look hard. I love this.

[Ben80997]

This is such an amazing video!

Haha I hope you know john mayer put this on his blog a while ago and complimented you on the video

[apoptosaurus]

It can be really exhausting living in Manhattan, and recently I've been questioning why I don't get out of here. Things like your video remind me why :)

[henk060]

I really thought this was an official video because i saw it for the first time on his website. Great vid man so much diversity, awesome!

[iRun4fun321]

[naivexmelody]

@agent784 I'm from 1:08 to 1:12!

[dreamquarter]

@naivexmelody so you are the really cute girl? :)

[magikmike22]

John could easily use this as an official video for the song..i know i would:P

[batibam10]

Speechless! I love this video ;D, cant wait to get back New york! John mayer you are so damn good.

Israel fan(:

[AubNoelle]

[yerrickc]

Great video! What software program did you import & finish this in? Thanks!!

[charitorae]

amazing job at capturing the essence of NYC.

[mocmylov]

Do I recognize those black Jack Purcell's at 2:29 from a certain wedding? ;)

[agent784]

@mocmylov Ha ha!

[scsstefi]

I love this video. It has concreted my trip to New York. Thank you for sharing.

[henriquefs]

Omg! This video brought back all the memories of when I went there. Very nice job, "The Heart of Life" fitted perfectly. This also make me feel like there is much more to know about this amazing city and to learn with it.

[daveswife]

Great camera work! Good job. JM songs make any video even more interesting to watch!

[Jaylasplenty]

One of my YouTube friends made something similar to this.She used a different song though. I love seeing New York with "Heart if Life", it fits in amazingly well. I miss my city! I'm sharing this with my friend. My favorite part is the guy dancing at 2:35 he looks like Joy. I love this! :)

[junothewonderdog]

Beautiful video! You really captured the "good" of every big city and answered, "Why would anyone live in a city?"

[agent784]

@junothewonderdog Thanks! My wife and I had the same conversation in Central Park that day. Over the past 13 years we had traveled to many places in the world, and what we learned was, as John Mayer put it, "The Heart of Life is good."

[agent784]

@junothewonderdog Thanks Juno! I really want to move there one of these days! My wife lives out in Philly and I only get a taste of it when I visit her every few months.

[eprinco]

Fantastic!!!!

[luvhsmgh07]

Oh my. thank you so much for this video. I recently visited the city for the first time, and this video brought back all the wonderful memories and things I experienced. Beautiful footage :)

[agent784]

@luvhsmgh07 Thanks for watching! I love NYC. So many people with very interesting moments in their daily lives.

[anacnuneshw]

[meandnotyou29]

[BennyLava87]
