I know I’m doing the right thing because my spirit sings when I play music. And nothing in life makes sense, except for when I’m sharing that music with other people
I feel this. My spirit does sing, but sharing it has always felt like I'm compromising my purity to the weight of other peoples opinions. Always been an obstacle to share myself.
@@hannahkar I feel that. I'm at a point where I'm trying not to hold back anything because what other people might think, because I realized that authenticity and originality will always beat trends. And who has the right to say your music sucks if it's from your heart? Nobody, and if they think they do they have a lot to learn. Of course I'm not talking about technicalities and constructive criticism.
Exactly! The only way I can say how I feel and actually really emotionally feel is when I'm performing and writing and playing and singing. It pools up overtime. But then... when I put my feelings from pen to paper a waterfall of emotions comes out and will make me cry because FINALLY... FINALLY I can feel. FINALLY I can get the emotion out instead of holding it in because I haven't had my outlet. It's an incredible feeling to know you're not alone. Good luck on your endeavors. I wish you nothing but happiness.
Wow I did not expect so many people to relate.. it has been an incredibly difficult year. Living above other tenants in a house, I feel bad playing music and don’t play as much as I’d like to just out of consideration. Lost my jobs revolving around music due to COVID. I didn’t realize how much it’s affected me. But even when I can’t play music I’ll grab my sketch book and try to learn more about music, dissect songs, try to understand more about theory so I can make something so beautiful that it could heal the world. Something so beautiful that it could end war. Something so beautiful that it could give others the strength to keep living, just like music gave me the strength to pull myself out of this pit. Just like John Mayer’s songs saved me heartbreak after heartbreak, when I was so broken and didn’t think I could recover. Thanks for inspiring us, John. One day when I’m good enough, I’ll give that gift back to the world too. Keep writing, all of you. Let music guide you towards your happiness. Universe means one song, after all.
I agree somebody about music is just so electric too me, I need it, if I didn’t have it i would probably have given up now, I love the individual unique of songwriting and how different and personal it is, i just feel this is what is meant for me and I feel it’s what I truly wanna spend my life doing. ❤️
@@phoebe4567 It always trips me out SO much, my mom knew him and talks about him some, and in a way he's super famous, but he's also not at all, it's the weirdest thing ever. I NEVER expected to hear John Mayer playing one of his songs in a video, he's literally one of my idols, and then BOOM, lol, it's a small world
John is one of the great storytellers of this century, both through his songs and the way he communicates in general, and this is one of a myriad of examples of that. He continues to offer us another way to appreciate the world. Thank you John for sharing your many gifts.
I remember at 7 years old, I was at Disney with my parents and in the middle of “it’s a small world” ride, when I thought to myself “this is it, in a couple seconds I could close my eyes and I will never have a childhood again, ever, my parents will be gone and I’ll be old. In a couple seconds, I’ll be in my death bed.” Truly a terrifying feeling but, it made me appreciate the little moments that much more,
Listen to the emotion you hear in his voice when hes talking about this, you can tell this is what hes here for, that passion is what made this guy a star, he loves what he does there no doubt in my mind. I don't know if you'll see this man but I'm a songwriter too and I've been trying to write a "slow dancing in a burning room" for years now what I realized to be a great writer you have to live that truth. I had a charting song and all of that, the accolades are good, but if you love what you do and you enjoy doing it, that is what matters the most. Great wisdom
John Prine did not write Clay Pigeons-A huge part of johns influence was a man named "blaze Foley"-who wrote it. he was a troubled drunk and it kept him right where he seemingly wanted to be, in the underground. Merl Haggart also covers it live and gives no mention that Blaze foley wrote it. Its good to fact check when 100 thousand people are listening.
@@spencerapple4300 John mayer is a very intelligent and talented guy, there's no question, but he's also an excellent bullshitter too. Like used car salesman level.
That’s crazy. You never know who will enjoy the ride with you out of the billions of people that are aware of it. If you write something that gives you that feeling, it’s something special.
the irony of this video is that he's talking about underappreciated/unrecognized artists but it seems like he doesn't know who Blaze Foley is and he's right under his nose
@@L0gan313 Idk man. He's mainly talking about song writers. I genuinely think that John feels that Prine wrote it. Regardless though I wouldn't call this a fail though because that message was extremely profound. He honestly could have put any song writer in this message and it would have still been great. Thats my opinion though.
@@maelgwni How is it a fail? Literally nothing he said is any less true or meaningful because he happened to be listening to John Prine covering another artist while saying it.
So beautiful 😍 making eye contact with the operator... this reminds me of the purity and messages of clarity that Jim Carey delivers 💕💕💕 thank you for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗🤗
Touching tribute, and I loved John Prine too, but he did not write Clay Pigeons. He was covering Blaze Foley's song. Damn shame neither one of them are with us anymore...

it's very hard to make money off music in this day in age of streaming i just do it because i love it and that's what matters the most. i havent really made anyhing i just love making music.
Always well spoken John. You got me a little emotional, thinking about him and you, and me, and God, and eternity... life being a beginning, middle, and end... I thought about Damon Wayne’s sketch about the ride of success. Then, somewhere in between that, I thought what if at the end of life, my 1 of 3 favorite celebrities/ forget celebrity! just favorite people, John freakin Mayer went to hell, because he never accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of his life...😭😭😭😭😭 that’s all I’m going to say John, just think about it, let me know if you want to come to a zoom church service with me sometime. 🤙🏾🎸
Some people are really moved from his analogy. I have no idea what he means. I understand that life is a ride. Is the operator supposed to be God? Or Fate? Eye contact is communicating with destiny or the supernatural? Kindly explain to me, in depth, what he is saying cause I’m missing something, thank you 😊❤️
I'm still having some trouble reconciling how this is the same guy who wrote "your body is a wonderland". He's a master guitar player. I wish I could still hate him, but no
There are two groups that go to a John Mayer concert....The women that fall in low with his imagine and soothing songs. And then the blues fans that love him for his guitar playing god like ability. I always wonder what that group of women think when John brings out someone like BB king on stage and they jam out ahahah. Are they completely lost at that point hahah.
Okay, that's an interesting, sort of flowery statement, not sure John would've loved it, but who knows. One thing it most assuredly was NOT, was "advice to songwriters". It was more like "here's what I think John Prine's world view was, be like John Prine". Dude, I've tried to be like John Prine my entire life. The one thing I've really learned from him is to avoid big mythical theories, and to have a laugh once in a while.
I would venture to guess that John Mayer not only knows who James Foley is but that he in fact wrote the song John Prine is singing ... To point out and complain about something so seemingly and eye watering glaringly innocuous as though you've enlightened NOT only John Mayer but his many fans as though you are the Second Coming and it is your divine duty to make yourself seem holier than thou at the expense of others... It's amusing because I for one think it shines a bright spotlight on your failure to appreciate the wisdom being spoken about songwriters in general. It's perfectly acceptable to enjoy someone else's rendition of a song while still appreciating the craftsmanship of said song. I would assume John Mayer like Mr. Prine's version and it may hold some sort of sentimental value to him... The point of this light hearted but deathly sincere tirade is to let you know that not only have you wasted your inevitably dour of dwindling days on this floating rock regurgitating what countless others have already commented on verbatim but the more morose of a fact is that you've entirely missed truly valuable lessons by (1) focusing on the wrong aspect that I would only be failing you if I were to enlighten you to what it is, (2), thinking you know more about music than John Mayer and (3)...the most egregious of all the petty social grandstanding unavoidable commentators who revel in showing your lack of originality and the sheer inability to think before making yet another pointlessly asinine comment in order to make yourself appear to be the prized victor in some keyboard warrior tournament of swine to prove the innate inability to say anything remotely positive or profoundly thought provoking that may actually add a bit of humanity and some much needed civility back into this society of growing cretins shielded by the anonymity of their screens. But, hey if it makes you happy well then keep on keeping on and let that ever present desire to be a mindless cog in the machine who's only happy when they're wrong. If you've made it this far, you'd be pleasantly surprised that I'm a super fucking easy going, laid back professional musician who just so happens to get slightly(but in a good natured way) cantankerous when it comes to outright online vitriolic stupidity... It's a plague and the only cure is more cowbell. You take it easy out there dude or dudette. Remember, life's a garden, so dig it. Cheers. Xoxo

John Mayer’s advice: John Prine was great, here’s a song he didn’t write. Now I’m gonna misremember a Bill Hicks bit, and talk about the man driving the train . . . who is under the train? When you’re handsome people just let you keep talking.
I agreed with you until you....misquoted Mayer too. He said ¨ride¨, like roller coaster. That is why there is a ride operator ¨under the tracks¨ which would not be the case if it were a train. So many levels of confusion starting with the fact that apparently not even Blaze Foley wrote ¨Clay Pigeons¨. Gotta luv the comments section amirite?
Yes, there is a really BIG ADVICE. Maybe you are like the first kind of people, but thinking you are living like the second ones. There is advice everywhere, wrong or right... just read between the lines.
Dude I forgot John Prine died, Clay pigeons is really good, a mix of Dylan and Johnny Cash's hurt era- Blaze Foley is a good writer but Prine's rendition much like Hendrix's to all along the watch tower has overthrown
Seems odd to praise John Prine as a songwriter while playing a Blaze Foley song, Clay Pigeons. It appears that John Mayer thinks that John Prine wrote the song, when he didn’t.
This is the ride analogy that he may have been inspired by, but this one is much more interesting and funny:: th-cam.com/video/KgzQuE1pR1w/w-d-xo.html&loop=0
@@thesanchez-family9810 ¨God¨ in this situation would be taking the metaphor too literally, which some say is what literally all of the Abrahamic religions have done.
John Mayer is a fantastically talented human being, no question, but he is teaching false religion by claiming that if you give your life to writing authentic music regardless of accolades, you have lived a kingly saintly life. Please don't mistake this as a means to eternal redemption and salvation. Jesus Christ is king, we are sinners whether you write great authentic songs or not (as John Mayer clearly has, man what a talent he is, love him) Jesus Christ lived the life we should live and died the death that we should die so that all who believe in Him will have eternal life. There are no "good people" (by earthly standards ...sure) but against the backdrop of a holy and righteous God, our best days of righteousness are like filthy rags. Stare into the beautiful face of Christ and the things of earth will grow strangely dim. Repent and come to Christ, recognize your sin and accept the free and unmerited gift of Grace and eternal life. By Grace through faith in Christ alone.

He’s literally talking about blaze foley. Writes music for music and not popularity. Even now he’s talking about blaze but thinking it’s someone else.

There's no advice to songwriters in this video. Just general advice to anyone living their life to enjoy the ride.
Yes, there is a really BIG ADVICE. Maybe you are like the first kind of people, but thinking you are living like the second ones. There is advice everywhere, wrong or right... just read between the lines.
@Romeo ThePLUG are you a songwriter?
Watched Bill Hicks once... Now you're Bill Hicks
didn’t blaze foley write clay pidgins???
That's a blaze foley song
how warm is this guy.and yet funny
Yeah, I guess
Dude I forgot John Prine died, Clay pigeons is really good, a mix of Dylan and Johnny Cash's hurt era- Blaze Foley is a good writer but Prine's rendition much like Hendrix's to all along the watch tower has overthrown
Blaze version is much better
John Prine was a fucking amazing song writer..what he said is true...why did you play one of the few he didn’t write
Gotta sell albums though. Everyone writes songs to be heard. Including Your Body is a Wonderland
this is some shroom talk right here lol
Was thinking the same thing lol
Forsure
lmao I'm just like.. the fuck you talkin' bout, bruh!
@@ItsFinigan he's actually making sense, but definitly psychedelic- acquired knowledge
@@seegui1971 i wouldn’t even say that. It just sounded like babbling to me. Fake deep.

Seems odd to praise John Prine as a songwriter while playing a Blaze Foley song, Clay Pigeons. It appears that John Mayer thinks that John Prine wrote the song, when he didn’t.
troll
@@TheZimmy84 How is he a troll?
@@TheZimmy84 Sounds like truth to me that John Mayer devotees struggle to acknowledge.
This is the ride analogy that he may have been inspired by, but this one is much more interesting and funny::

Bill Hicks ^^
Fucking Beautiful
oooooooofff
wtf are you talking about?!
So he says someone saw god?
yes many people see Jesus but you have to want to get closer to him
@Xavi Campoverde thats what im thinkin
@@thesanchez-family9810 ¨God¨ in this situation would be taking the metaphor too literally, which some say is what literally all of the Abrahamic religions have done.
He does a lot of shrooms
That entire "life is a ride" is a Bill Hicks line
Good advice. Only. That’s a blaze foley song John. Just saying.
There is no guy operating the ride.
it is a metaphor.
John Mayer is a fantastically talented human being, no question, but he is teaching false religion by claiming that if you give your life to writing authentic music regardless of accolades, you have lived a kingly saintly life. Please don't mistake this as a means to eternal redemption and salvation. Jesus Christ is king, we are sinners whether you write great authentic songs or not (as John Mayer clearly has, man what a talent he is, love him) Jesus Christ lived the life we should live and died the death that we should die so that all who believe in Him will have eternal life. There are no "good people" (by earthly standards ...sure) but against the backdrop of a holy and righteous God, our best days of righteousness are like filthy rags. Stare into the beautiful face of Christ and the things of earth will grow strangely dim. Repent and come to Christ, recognize your sin and accept the free and unmerited gift of Grace and eternal life. By Grace through faith in Christ alone.
