    I'm confident John Mayer's aware that, if fathers love their daughters as they should, they won't run into the arms of a loser, or look for the love, that they should've gotten from their fathers, from a boyfriend who can't give them that. Fathers, love your daughters right and they will have healthy relationships.

    My mom kept me from my dad from age 3 until I was 26. He is a wonderful man and I am so thankful for him. Why she did this I will never understand. He is now 76 and I am 53. Married 34 years now to my high school sweetheart. My kids were grown and never had to feel the pain of a missing parent. Cycle broken.

My first language isn’t English, so I didn’t know what the song meant at the time, but now I do and it makes me appreciate my dad even more. I’ll turn 15 in a few weeks and after 9 years of hearing this song, it still means the world to me. I hope this song will mean the same to you and your daughter even when you both grow older

    To all the people saying that John Mayer is saying that parents should be nice to their daughters so he can bang them have no idea how it's like to have an abusive/absent parents in their lives, he literally is saying to be kind to your children so they can healthy relationships. Not just romantic ones but as well as maternal/paternal ones with their own children.

    My mother abused me my whole life. My father wasn't around. I was constantly told I looked like him. I met him at fifteen after getting away from my mother. He was just as bad as her. Sadly people do not care about their children. I have always loved this song, since I was little, but now I understand it. I have had trouble in relationships my entire life. This is my song.

      Hi, just wanted to say me relationship with my dad was awful in my teens, picked up for a couple of years then we basically didn't see each other at all for 12 years til late last year. Now we have a lovely relationship, he's coming today actually. We both said and did a lot of horrible things and the onus was on him when I was just a kid. From 12 to 16 he was physically abusive and verbally and emotionally. I blamed him for the way my life turned out, still kinda do but I also understand he was going through heartbreak after my mam leaving and had no idea how to look after a kid. I love my dad and I'm gutted I've missed so many years, he tried to kill himself in September and its brought us all back together. I hope one day you can make it up with your dad. I had to be the one to make the first move, then he did what he did and we've been close ever since. I doubt he'd have come looking for me though

When we forgive, we can finally experience true love. If he is still alive I recommend you go to him and let him know that you still love him even after all his mistakes. And if he doesn’t want to accept it then so be it, but I promise it will go a long way towards you finding your own inner peace 😉🙏🏼

      @@robgoose I think there are much, much worse songs out there but it isn't great. I've read that John Mayer has said at his concerts that song lyrics from some of his older songs like Daughters and Your Body is a Wonderland make him cringe these days and I believe that.

      Me too. I'm with St. Vincent in that I hate the song's lyrics. But I disagree about why. St. Vincent says it's sexist, but I don't get that at all. It does "pedestalize" women, and I suppose that makes the speaker seem like a sexist to St. Vincent, but to me it just makes the speaker seem like a cringeworthy simpering worm. But, this is just a criticism of the lyrics. Musically the song is quite interesting. It does have an interesting melody, and John does a great job with the harmonizations and chord changes. It's very beautifully done, except for the lyrical content, which is very cringe.

    The comments I've seen on the last few John Mayer videos Ive seen have all been "Oh, why do people like him, hes boring and bland" and it's so sad they can't see that he's the opposite. Firstly, Johns music has so much meaning in the words like this one, "Waiting on the World to Change" and "Say". Secondly, it's completely refreshing to see a relevant artist stick to his own style and play music the way he loves it and does best, INSTEAD of selling out to be the big-shot in the pop eye, like the rest of these other thirsty fame whores.
    Ill forever love John Mayer and his meaningful, "BORING" songs.

    Powerful statement, so true. "Since the day she saw him walkin' away, now she's left cleaning up the mess he made." "Daughters will love like you do." "Mothers be good to your daughters too." He is saying a lot here. Hard to find a song with more of a message over the last 20 years. A song of substance. John probably went through something with some hurt woman who wounded him as well, he tried through this song, to share something with the world about the wisdom he gained.

    I am sixteen year old girl and i never had a good relationship with my dad, and today i can't say that i love him; i just wish that he would be more caring, i can't see my father like a superhero and my heart breaks every time i think about it. I nerves post youtube comment but they kinda give a break to feeling. In the future I want a husband that loves our daughter/s (if we have) more than anything in the world. PD: Sorry for my english its my second language.

I hugged her every chance I would get after returning home from work & I would tell her how she meant the world to me...I write her almost every day now. I miss her. I am proud of her.

Oldest has gone to college now, rarely hear from her, it's heartbreaking, don't understand it. If I say something I'm told by wife that I'm being hard on her and that she doesn't want to hear it, I'm " pushing her away, being too needy." Needy because I want to hear from her, God forbid shown affection

I’m in tears writing this as I know going forward with my new career this is going to be the norm (not being around nearly as much as I have been her whole 4 years of existence). In the end I know I’m doing it for her. Just always remember moms and dads out there, every little moment counts. Have patience through the tough moments, it pays off

    John Mayer is one of the most talented musicians of our time. In this day and age, who actually learned the art of music and can play a real instrument? The relationship between a musician and their instrument is one of the most beautiful and sacred there is.. And not to mention the fact John is a beyond exceptional songwriter and composer. He does it all. How many musical acts on the top 100 can say that? Write, sing and play their song exclusively on their own???? Not many. This sort of talent comes once in a blue moon... He'll be a legend someday, just watch.

    • @3Roel3
      @3Roel3 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +quincywho You talk about him like he's some guitar virtuoso... He plays basic chords in a very slow tempo, it's not that difficult haha.

      +Roel Hovius he doesn't just play slow tempo ballads. I just saw him on tour with the grateful dead and I was blown away by his guitar skills and even his singing voice. He even says that he wants to stray away from this mainstream pop music because it's so easy for him to write/play these songs. there are definitely guitar legends that he will never rank among, but for his generation he is definitely one of the best.

They do that first because they ultimately don't want to lose there kids all about control there on after. Sad that women will not stop an think using the children as a weapon cuts them so deep that messes them up for life. And I sent my ex letters tons of them and she turned into someone I didn't recognize her anger made the kids angry. The divorce was my fault for sure I was selfish prick that needed to stop spending money and drinking the way I was. And they al wanted that and took me to leaving and staying gone NOT MY CHOICE they didn't want me back after I went treatment and well she made me out the villian then demon them someone so foul I almost convinced myself I was crazy and it's true. All they said however god definitely showed up 3 times I shouldn't be here I tell u that. But here I am 6 years have been drunk since.

I have to be conscious even more now than ever to show her what it means to be a genuinely good person. This doesn’t just apply to daughters, we need to be good to our sons as well. They become fathers one day, and us as fathers owe it to them to be good foundations of how they should treat others.

Just as the line "Now she's left, cleaning up the mess he made" breaks your heart, the one line in this song that makes me cry and need a big hug is "Boys would be gone without warmth of a woman's good heart." The reason for that is while this song focuses primarily on a woman's severe need to be loved, that one line clearly proves that men need to be loved as much as women, no matter how much strength they've got.
