The Atlantic & Land Rover Present: John Mayer Goes Outside
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- It didn’t take much to convince John Mayer to take a little vacation earlier this year. Always touring and connected, the renowned musician was itching for a break from it all. So we sent him to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and put him in his favorite vehicle: the Land Rover Defender 110.
The world has changed a lot since those meandering days we spent in the northern California redwoods. But our deep appreciation and respect for the wilderness has only increased. And Mayer’s adventure underscores something that’s as true today as it’s always been: We all need to go outside.

only John Mayer can make me watch a 6 minute ad and enjoy it
Twice lol ❤️
The sceneries are so pleasing for my eyes
I can watch this over and over again, love John Mayer!! 💞
True I loved it , also anything with Ryan Reynolds in an ad makes me watch it
Kinda forgot it was an ad
The best advertising a company can get is John Mayer talking honestly about it.
If you've ever seen John Mayer talk about his PRS guitars or other products he endorses, you'll know that he isn't talking "honestly" about it. Not saying he's lying, but he's definitely very aware that he's marketing these things when he talks about them. Otherwise a very solid dude and obviously a killer songwriter and guitarist.
diesel828 man that John Mayer PRS Silver Sky is legit and most everybody who’s played it will attest to that.
@@barryc6100 I own one
diesel828 nice I’m a Les Paul guy myself but I do play my Strat on occasion.
@@barryc6100 I love PAF humbuckers, man. I just don't own any right now. Reverend makes some really nice guitars with PAFs in them that I might check out eventually once the quarantine and all is over.
I would like to thank The Atlantic, Jason, Eric, the Film Crew and John Mayer. Working on this commercial was a dream come true and the Film Crew was just classic! Just so everyone knows, very little if any was staged, the lines were completely improv and I found a profound chemistry with everyone that was there that day on the Smith River in Jedediah Smith State Park Redwoods, California. Because of John's fun loving jovial approach to life, everyone there was set at ease, it was just fun and most of the time we were laughing at some joke he made so it was funny too. John's talent goes way far beyond writing music, he is like one of the Beatles in an interview where the jokes just flow. Who would of thought in my lifetime I would be chosen for this small part as the fly fishing guide. I am honored but more so, I hope we inspire more of you to get out into nature and explore our great nation. "The only thing that's perfect is nature, everything else is naturally imperfect." Learn a hobby and get out there, the outdoors should define everyone these days.
Many rivers to you, Jack Trout
“Jenny, I’ll go anywhere you take me.” This was so charming
Definitely not the first time he's said that
Heartwarmingggg❤❤
Indeed. How politely and innocently Jenny made the request. John's response was a perfect one.
I came looking for this comment! Loved that
That's why people feel so connected to him, even though he's a songwriting, guitar playing god, he's the most down to Earth guy ever
This is an ad
Charlie Starenko ^
Do you love him?
Jessica Simpson... Is that you?
You got the wrong information there brother
John is a treasure to this world. That song at the end was the perfect ending.
To me sometimes I think he's too much in love with himself.. Sponsoring things, wanting to be popular, too much on social networks.. Play music, that's where I respect him
For anyone wondering... The song is called "A Simple Song" - he wrote it for himself for his birthday. He talked about the process of letting a song go once its finished. Simple song was suppose to just be for him.
@@gotzz84 “I don’t like the fact that he enjoys doing anything other than just playing music”
@@TheRealLange21 doing drugs is also enjoyable but not good for your brain :)
You're so damnnn right!!
Totally Mayer. Witty, honest, open. And a perfect song. (Which I hope he finishes and puts out. That first line, man...)
I don't want to get in fights on private flights to paradise no more
And I don't want to suffer fools or sycophants by swimming pools and dance floors
I want a high that won't end low
A hat to call my home
A bag that won't hold much
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone
That might go la-la-la...
he finished it years ago, but he will never release it! It's his song, nobody else's. The name is "A Simple Song."
Thanks for posting this!!
I was there, he is funnier than sh!t, the man is just special. No one ever handed us any sheets for our lines, everything you see is a day in the life with John Mayer. (He reminded me of the Beatles.) If I had one word to describe John Mayer - The Natural. Oh two words~ Sorry. Thanks for your post! :) Many rivers, JT
@@jacktrout Thanks for sharing! Any fun moments or stories that stick out that you can share with us? Us fans have always known he's the genuine article.
@@katesmith-thompson5500 I have a lot of photos from the day, I wish I could share them somewhere. Just that when I went to take a selfy with him, he took the camera and said, "Let me do this my arms are long and perfect for selfies." lol The guy was genuine, everything just flowed and the camera crew were on minimum days at school. I kept asking myself, how is going to be a commercial ? There's no lines and we are always just talking about what we like to do in nature..... Little did we know, we'd be inspiring a whole new generation coming up. The outdoors is where it is at, of course a little JM to go along with our adventures. Be cool, Jack Trout
The sound guy on the floor in pure bliss was so relatable
That totally summed up the feel of the video!
Totally dude.
Do you guys know the name of that song he’s playing in that scene? You’re right it’s total bliss 💆♂️
@@brunomartins9888 A Simple Song
@@brunomartins9888 it's unofficial but a guy uploaded the part of the video when John sings as "simple song" here on youtube
When does the Netflix Series John Mayer Goes Outside premier? Because it needs to.
I will love to see a netflix show about john talking about nature and stuff, hes well spoken, his interview in hot wings and about his watch collection shows how much of his thoughts are about and it's great, the conversations this man can take you, damn!!!
I’m buying a Land Rover just because of John Mayer now.
😂😂😂 good thing Land Rovers are quality cars
@@byrong1490 are they though.....?
The Space Eel
Yes they are
Take it from an owner, it's the worst fucking car. It would litrally fall over all by itself.
I'm buying a john mayer just cos of land rover.
This is why John is the best.
James B. McGill it’s an expression
Exactly
I'm annoyed that this wasn't a trailer to his life documentary
Watch someday I'll fly by Eastwood allen
I'd pay good money to see that doco.
@@MitchPhillips it's free on youtube bro 😂
@@shreshthkumar3267 True, 'Someday I'll Fly' is a great fan-made doco.
Is this a sign Johns been working on a new album, because we could use it right now
Yeah back in March he said that he was working on his new album. But I don't think that we will get it this year
Mayer: " I dont understand why I'm so happy"
Landover: *hands him check*
Outside friend
😂😂😂
LOL 😂
Nice one :)
th-cam.com/video/jtGCKZwUdn8/w-d-xo.html Here is another video of Redwoods state park you might like it ☺️
John Mayer released three classic albums. Now he releases great "content" ...I still listen. He's a cool dude.
i think on insta hes kinda hinted that hes recording an album atm
Hmm which three? Room For Squares, Continuum, and Born and Raised?
Mark K yeah I think you nailed it there. I happened to like Battle Studies, Paradise Valley, and Heavier Things just as much but yeah those are THE three.
@@markk6151 for me Room For Squares, Heavier Things, Continuum ...I love Battle Studies as well, but I feel like it's been a slow downhill ride since Continuum. Paradise Valley & Born Raised have some great songs, but I feel like every album since Continuum has gotten less "exciting" ...He's a super exciting person, but I'm not surprised anymore like I was through those first three albums where it really felt like we are along for an artistic ride that was going to shake the earth in a totally beautiful way. It felt like he had something to prove in the first 3 or 4 albums. Now it feels like he's just "Chillin".
@@DavidDiMuzio Had a slow downhill ride this summer, the morning after camping in the mountains, and boy it was pleasant.
I need a studio version of that song
I wish he would. Unfortunately it will not happen. He wrote this song for himself on his birthday. Only for him.
Man talks and you hear poetry
Can Jenny and John be my therapists because even just watching this video I felt 10x better. Thank you for the words , song and video!
Can I take u there please?
Jenny I’ll go anywhere you take me.
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love , i am not complete without you as my fan . I have you to be most thankful for
This is basically “Talking Watches” but with a Land Rover.
Yo. I legit felt Jenny's vibe. I love her. Shes like the warden of that forest. John you can tell has fully awakened to this moment
Listen to John Mayer talking and singing gives us the feeling that somehow everything will be fine someday
Sure does
Can more commercials be like this!?
I even forgot that that's a commercial.
John is a magician❤️💯. He literally made me forget everything happening in/around my life.. effortlessly. Sad, that this video had to end
Love, love, love this! "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Hahahaha, classic JM!
Talk to you over here for a minute hahah
“Heyyy, can we talk for a minute, let’s get in it, ooooohhhh🎶”
@@hahnah1087 I miss Current Mood so much!
@@hahnah1087 He's definitely heard that before.
A Simple Song 🥰
It’s absolutely heartwarming to see how genuine John is, such a true character with so much knowledge to give to the world. Definitely has had an important impact on me and can confidently say for many others ❤️
It's a script
@@colaboytje if you knew how he actually speaks as a person you would know a lot of it wasn't.
@@CaptainPlow69 I have been following John for more than a decade now. This is a commercial. It's not a documentary. Ofcourse it has a script. Do you really think Landrover will give carte blanche to John to say whatever he wants? Ofcourse not. Advertising companies have to present the commercial before it is even made.
@@colaboytje I never said it wasn't scripted but it's very obvious that a fair amount of it was John just being John as well. It's perfectly normal for advertising companies to allow intelligent people such as him to put their own spin onto things.
@@CaptainPlow69 Oh, then I misunderstood what you meant. My bad.
that's what every John Mayer and Land Rover fun ever needed to see.. i can sleep calm now.
Everything in this video is just right. And gosh that man is one hell of a songwriter!
« Can I talk to you over here for a minute » shoutout to everyone that noticed the reference to the current mood
The sound guy is having the time of his life, best job ever for sure
We all just spent 6 minutes watching a commercial.
Worth it.
That song at the end was so simple but so good
I saw what you did there ;)
Wasn’t expecting a song at the end. Man that was great!
If my girlfriend cheated on me with John Mayer, I’d understand.
Or DUN DUN DUN I'll cheat on her with John Mayer 😂
DEVORE We know you'd HAVE to understand. So many of us have tried for years to make people understand for so many reasons----not just cheating on your boyfriend. Laugh out loud!!!
If I cheated on my wife with John Mayer she’d understand
dude I would be proud of her
@@datvu7833 🤣🤣🤣yeah like "whaaa babe? You did John? Uhh can i meet em, get some lessons?" Doing my wifes gotta be worth some lessons right?
Whenever I feel like stopping I always come back to this. Makes me feel safe and hopeful.
Every now and then, I come back to watch this masterpiece. Such calm. Such love.
“Bye, Paul Bunyan”
I’ve never smashed a like button so quick
This needs to be made into a full length documentary with John Mayer scoring the whole thing.
This is officially my favorite video on the internet
Hands down the most genuine ad I’ve ever seen
Nothing was staged, I was there and there was no script, every line was improve. John Mayer is the "Real-Deal."
What exactly is "Genuine" about getting paid to do an ad for Land Rover? Had he done it for free, then THAT would be genuine. Had he just taken a camera into the woods alone and shot this video, then THAT would be genuine. Does nobody else grasp this concept?
@@acm1350 I don't think they were implying it was 100% genuine, just that it was very genuine relative to most ads out there. Things don't have to be extremes...
Petition for John Mayer to feature in an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls!
John Mayer should play as Anthony Bourdain in a biopic.
I was thinking of Bourdain while listening to this ad.. John’s voice reminds me of him and how much I miss those great travel shows and his savage humor..🙏
They have always reminded me of eachother!
This is literary my home, and I'm fishing all the time at the river spots in the video. Funny to see pro footage of it. I live minutes from the park.
John Mayer’s child will be the luckiest child in the world because your papa will always serenade you beautiful song every night
John must think about this experience with gratitude he was able to see this untarnished beauty before the fires destroyed so much.
John, Nature, A Simple Song
the sad thing is massive polluting vehicles like landrovers have contributed to the changing climate that has made these fires worse. he's helping sell the problem, and pretending he cares about the environment.
Luv'n more John... not sure I need a Landover to do that, but in the outdoors I'm all in! Play'n guitar too... hell yasssss!!!
I would buy a pack of rusty old nails if John Mayer endorsed it, and sang about them. Truly special talent.
is there anything truly more soothing and cathartic than John Mayer just talking about things?
Whoever pitched this idea needs a raise. This is how you do a sponsored ad
I can truly feel the forest breeze by only looking at this video.
Well, this video surely gave me a big smile and I hope this means that we will get a studio version of "A Simple Song" someday!
The name of the song is A Simple Song. John Mayer wrote it for himself in 2014 as a self birthday gift. Unfortunately, he never released the song and said this is one song he will keep it to himself.
What a beautiful beautiful song. ❤️
This is the best thing I've seen this year.
That lady described the red woods perfectly. I don't know what it is, like an ancient connection, but its amazing. Everything kind of slows down and it's quiet and cool and unbelievably peaceful.
thank you thank you thank you
“I want a high that don’t end low”
I love that man! ♥️
Amazing! I hope you enjoyed our beautiful Redwoods John!
This will always be my comfort video
Thanks for vacationing in our 'hood, John Mayer!
Having Jenny lead him through the woods feels like someone showing me their favorite part in a song. 💗
This is such a special video. This is my favorite thing John has done. Loved this so much.
This is a beautiful video. My wife and I took a trip to Eureka and spent a week in the sequoias and redwoods (just before the birth of our first son) in 2019. This experience takes me back to those peaceful, quiet times. A much-needed pick-me-up, as this year, the State is on fire and blue skies are nowhere to be found. Thanks JM, Atlantic & Land Rover for sharing this beautiful, intimate, scenery with the rest of us. One Love. Stay safe everyone.
Can't believe they didn't fit in the introduction of a new John Mayer signature redwood guitar.
I’ve missed John Mayer so much!!!! This totally made my year😂
“Jenny, I’ll go anywhere you take me.” That’s it. I’m changing my name to Jenny now! 🥺 But seriously, Jenny should be a therapist bcs listening to her talking is calming!
I love how much less of an Ego he carries around now. He seems to be a lot more wholesome and welcoming.
I absolutely love the combo of these three things! I own a Land Rover LR4. Being a Colorado native, it is the absolute perfect, most comfortable and capable vehicle I've ever owned. l love nature, the outdoors and exploring them in my Land Rover is one of my favorite realities to transcend to... Couple those two things with my absolute favorite human being and musician, John Mayer?! I am in heaven! Thank you for bringing this union to the world❤
about 335 miles from the legendary Goonies scenario´s spot...Hugs from Brazil \m/
Love to the california redwoods. May those that burned this year rest in peace
No. They did not. I was there last week. But, if we keep putting out all the small fires and allowing the fuel to build up, eventually it could.
I made this journey, leaving my VW bus parked at home, and hitchhiked by myself, met a traveler along the way to hitch with, stayed on a farm in Miranda, then continued on to Oregon... hitched back to the farm, say the guy, and after two days headed back home...was back at work at the Radio Station by Midnight Saturday/Sun 2ks later!
Great adventure for me @ 16yrs old!
I really enjoyed watching this. Love John 💕
i will say. this is miles better than the volkswagen commercial. god john mayer is a legend and the exact reason i picked up a guitar. i’m 16. and he is my idol for this reason.
That laaa la la at the end are we getting a full version? Absolutely charming. Made my day.
I have been saying the same thing. This is a great song he shouldn’t dismiss lol
@@bryaneich5297 John wrote this song for himself on his birthday and I think there's something so beautiful about that.
@@geekychick131 In that case I'm sure there was an extra magic in his head. Either way it's one of the best I've heard from him, no joke.
This man makes my heart smile.
He's the most amazing being on planet earth.
This is the most John Mayer thing John Mayer can do!
I love him so much 🥺♥️♥️♥️
John is a real deal in current music industry..... he's just the best imo !
Why is the audio so damn CRISPY in this vid 🔥
i love watching john mayer explore my state
This is the sweetest beautiful peaceful video ..It's nice to feel or see the relaxation in it!Enjoyed the new song too.So glad to have been able to view this capturing of natures captivating peace.Thank you very much for uploading.God bless ya'll.Thank you John Mayer.
imagine sitting there enjoying the peace and some idiot drives by in a massive car.
paul paine That wouldn't be cool.
Beautiful John Mayer ❤️
Man, he’s so cool!
smart move, Dear Land Rover. You got right person to resemblance new value and with John Mayer, you never go wrong.
Dang this is awesome! I live on Howland Hill Road! Please come back sometime and jam with me!
Loved this video. The amazing Land Rover presents the a-a-mazing John Mayer. Perfect together. Love it. Love him.
THIS MUST MEAN THERE IS A SIMPLE SONG STUDIO VERSION COMIN SOON!!!! JOHN CLAYTON MAYER READ MY WORDS AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
As much as we’d all like that, it’s not happening, he played this song at a hotel cafe show and said for his birthday he gave himself a gift and wrote himself a song that he told himself he would never sell or release and it’s this song...
That. song. though. It’s like Jack Johnson’s soul landed in John’s body and their shared experiences amalgamated into the most effortlessly chill song ever. Just me?
I lost my shit when he started A Simple Song
id watch a whole series of john mayer goes outside
LOVE. PERFECT.
John Mayer + Defender = YES!!! Great film.
Is there like a 1 hour version of this? :D
I want a whole Netflix series based on this.
john mayer just make everything wonderful.
A SIMPLE SONG!!
Knowing from how John is a guitar and watch geek, you can trust that he could be into cars as well, and seeing from how he pours his heart to the things he loves, you can trust that he means everything he said about d car.
We all know that bag that “won’t hold much” is CVS bag.
This is the best advertisement Land rover could ever do and they did it. JM is the perfect at anything and everything..😎😎
Seems like he's just acting naturally. That makes Mayer real.
