This song literally puts me on a specific patch of grass, next to specific person, on 8/18/2003. I can smell it. And every time I hear John rake his pick across the opening chord, I’m right back on the patch of grass.
This song reminds me of sitting in the backseat of the car with my family looking out the window. That was back in 2002 when I was around 11. Now we're all spread out over the U.S. grown and dealing with the reality of being adults. Forever though, that is the "something" that I'm missing. Family before the divorce.
I hope you folks reading this comment know that this is a musical expression of depression something that a lot of us have experience in John Mayer is a genius at putting it into words in a beautiful song let it be a healing tone for your soul
John used his calling so good here! We've all had this experience of feeling something's missing, but can't quite put our finger on what it is. John managed to codify it with lyrics and sing about it as a technique that works almost like an exorcism to help us eradicate this toxic feeling. I love it! Love this Creative Genius, A Master, The Man and THE KING ❣💡🌟💎👑🎄

I Love how he expresses himself in this video you can see the way he moves his face and his head and plays the guitar with so much passion and John is a Great Musician an awsome songwriter this is so beautiful love his passion what a great guy he is hope he never stops making music

I actually think the production on heavier things is really good. If it focused too much on being acoustic it would have been too similar to Room for Squares. I think the biggest mistake was playing Neon on an electric when he recorded it - that’s one that definitely should have been more acoustic
Funny thing. These chords sound complex, but they aren’t that hard. For example, his hit Neon is much more complex to play. This one is pretty easy to learn and play.
Yeah, its in open E, why he plays it with In your atmosphere sometimes....so the chords are pretty easy but sound nice and full and complex. Tricks of the trade haha. although the "somethings missing" part does take some skill and right and left-hand cooperation.

You are lucky
Yeah man
Bittersweet memories, my friend
That’s me walking to class in college when it was below freezing. The grass was frozen over and I had my cowboy boots. The nostalgia is palpable.
What a memory 😭
how does this still hit me 20 years later?
Great tracks will do that mate 🤙
John is, hands down, one of THE MOST underrated and unappreciated artists of the 21st century. Your music is great John. Keep up the great work!
Aggressive yet soft chaotic yet controlled this is prime John Mayer
He’s only gotten better:)
Johns always in his prime bro
You can tell he's "hungry"... He's so tight and so ON. This is when he felt he had something to prove
I saw him last week in Pittsburgh. He honestly just keeps getting better.
@@Atmosrainmusic i was at that show. he played st patricks day first time since 2016 or 2017 or something. it was awesome
This song hits different when you're really going through it
Literally the best song to listen to when you’re going thru it
Was 15 watching him in his 20s, now I'm in my 30s still watching 20s John in awe
By far his best song from that era, and he wins a Grammy for Daughters??
Musical genius.

Yeah I listened to JM with my kids through the Continuum Album. I’m sure if they hear John Mayer songs they think of special times in the car.
I hope you folks reading this comment know that this is a musical expression of depression something that a lot of us have experience in John Mayer is a genius at putting it into words in a beautiful song let it be a healing tone for your soul
This artist, this album, this track, pure genius
Ok, years down the line but Hummingbird is one of my favorite JM songs.
Beast mode performance
Car bobblehead performance
Extraordinary musician, I admire him a lot
This reminds me the beautiful college times, good friends and life lessons.
Oh man, the early 00s. I saw John Mayer for the first time in fall 2002 at UMASS Amherst
This is my favorite John Mayer era. Sooooooo much passion.
The musical genius & complexity of john mayer
I love everything about this song

I'm not alone
I wish I was
'Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now
I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
At all
When autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around
Your summer heart
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
At all
I can't be sure that this state of mind
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness
For loneliness like this
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

This song reminds me of those gone. An my dog who passed two years ago. Its bitter sweet this is a master piece.
"This one is called "Something's missing" because.....sometimes it just is."

The man is a lyrical genius!
And guitar playing genius
Just the way his Martin sings at 3:39 hits so hard
it's been 18years
In a class of his own from the start.
So so so so gooooooood❤❤❤❤❤
the way he moves his head is funny
I Love how he expresses himself in this video you can see the way he moves his face and his head and plays the guitar with so much passion and John is a Great Musician an awsome songwriter this is so beautiful love his passion what a great guy he is hope he never stops making music
Most underrated mayer song ever. Thanks for uploading this. Its lit
Thanks for the upload 👍 I've never seen this before
2003...the quality is good
Aweee, he’s so young…he just keeps getting better, but this kind of took my breath away.
Thank you for uploading this in better video/sound quality than the other older one! Greatly appreciated.
What a lyrical Genius.
4:15 : Mickeal's phone, check.😁
I love how shiny and new this Martin looks in this video. I love even more how not shiny and not new it is today.

This version is crazy!!!!
this is so amazing!!!!
The guitar playing on this is honestly insane
love you John. Thank you for this awesome song and performance. The only thing missing is ME to clap and hug you.
The master of our time. The one. Every male dream lived in one life for all to see and envy.
O cara é foda, patroa!
A genius. Thank god for John.
I actually prefer this video to the studio recording. John's acoustic skills are on full display here. ❤❤❤
Living legend!
❤❤❤ SO beautiful ❤❤❤.
This helped me 4 mos into a breakup. John Mayer since 2005
Prime time
It's easy to hear how proud
he is !
when he wrote this there was nothing missing ❤
Art
absolutely brilliant
Really nice song.
Divine
QUE AULA
Incredible. Thank you so much. A real gem of a video.
Soooo good.
so wow
Only Jesus can fill the voids in our hearts ❤
Great video quality
This needs a mic cam so we could see his mouth changes.
Back when john could sing
Great Acoustic version, my favourite is from Any Given Thursday tho
Go go gadget thumb!
Esa guitarra es antes de su Signature? Que modelo de Martin es, por favor?
John’s really good guitarplayer! 😂
👍

Anyone know what tuning is at work here?
multiple lessons on youtube thatll tell you
I believe it us (E B E F# B e). Same as for In your atmosphere
Thats Esus2 tuning same tuning as in your atmosphere.
Thats Esus2 tuning same tuning as in your atmosphere.
This is a noob question but how do I strum but pick a individual string. Like he’s doing in the intro
Heavier Things production was so misguided not to leverage the acoustic.
I actually think the production on heavier things is really good. If it focused too much on being acoustic it would have been too similar to Room for Squares. I think the biggest mistake was playing Neon on an electric when he recorded it - that’s one that definitely should have been more acoustic

please john, can you make more complex chords, to easy. :)))
Funny thing. These chords sound complex, but they aren’t that hard. For example, his hit Neon is much more complex to play. This one is pretty easy to learn and play.
