- John Mayer teasing Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels" before launching into his own song "War of My Life" from his album Battle Studies at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ on Friday, July 30, 2010.
His music is like a drug. Once you get hooked, you can't get "Unhooked".
He's an amazing musician.
This is true. I’ve been an addict since 99.
@@Amy-uf4vq how long have you been a John Mayer addict though?
very true
"I'm not worried about it I'm just telling you my mom isn't into that" LMFAOOOO
I've watched this video many times over the past few years and every time I just wish i know what her mom wasn't in to
so true, the mystery adds to the video
Lmao
Hahaha
Lmao
Oh my fucking god 😂😂😂😂
John Mayer’s interpretation of the human experience is always just what I need. He is a true gift.
Never ever take down this video. It saved me multiple times as a teenager and will continue to help others struggling in life. Thank you again for posting it, I'm glad to see it still up after all these years.
light and rebellion just did right now
This video saved me last year at the start of the pandemic. I had never heard of this song before but discovered it. One of my best buds is a huge John Mayer fan. I only knew his “wonderland” song from high school days. John is amazing!
This particular version keeps saving me
Saving me rn!
i loveeee this song and battle studies is such an important album to and for me its gotten me through so much since my juinor and senior year of highschool till now into my twenties and trying to chase my dreams like john did! he is incredible
If fear hasn't killed me yet, then nothing will.
superb.
im in the war of my life and i dont think it’ll ever end. war is hell. even with yourself.
There was this time a couple years ago I was struggling and unsure about life and when it was at its worst, the next week it was suddenly at its best. Hang in there, you never know what tomorrow serves.
his speeches are life
Can you tell me what he says in his speech. I can't understand everything (I'm not English)
Sara Scola el habla acerca del derecho de poder quedar loco cuando quiera y saca un Xanax del pantalón.. y después juega fuera. Si quiere ponerse loco, pongase loco !
You know, somewhere along the way, somebody or some group of people instructed us that it is possible to feel okay all of the time. That the human body, or the human mind should normally behave appropriately at all times. And if there is even any part of your day, or week, or month that falls short of feeling 100%, that there is something wrong with you. “Does it burn when you swallow or do you got acid reflux? You can’t eat pasta sauce after 11.” Bullshit.
Let me tell you what happens to everybody but they won’t talk about it because they feel like its only them. But its everybody. Everybody freaks out. I wanna show you something. Thats a Xanax .5 milligrams. You know why I keep prescribing more, or asking for a prescription? You know why I keep going to my doctor to ask for more? Not because I take them. Because I run them through the laundry. These do not go in my blood stream, these go through my plumbing. But I’ve got my .5 in my pocket just incase I freak the fuck out infant of all of you! 17,000 people. Get a shot of this.
If you wanna freak out, freak out. If you feel like all of a sudden you’re 6 and you wanna cry and you don’t know why, just go do it. lets have everybody just accept everyone else is going to freak out. Yeah everyones going to freak out. You’re not going to be 100% all the time. Hey can somebody get me another Xanax please?
Yes, let me make it easy for you. You’re going to freak out. You’re going to have at least one moment per week where you don’t feel right. But maybe it doesn’t feel so wrong if you know that its kinda suppose to happen to you. It is the other side of being conscious and loving. That there are going to be times that you’re going to have to hit Control-Alt-Delete. Just gonna have to take a moment. You might be walking through an airport, you might be having the time of your life. In fact its more likely to happen during the time of your life. You might sit down in Cabo, put your feet in the sand, crack open a Corona, and go ughhh. Thats you not letting yourself have a good time. And I guarantee you there someone sitting out here at the show tonight going like “I need to use the bathroom and I wanna go home.” Me too! Nobody wants to use the bathroom and go home more than me, and I gotta play on stage every night. So what I’m trying to say to you is fight on!
John gets it. He has an old soul and has such a way with words. Doesn't his music have a healing affect?
Bummer! Glad Vinicius is helping out because it's such a good message.
I come back to this video everytime my depression makes me feel like shit even if everything is going great in my life and I hate myself for that, just to remind myself that it's okay to feel like this. It's okay.
Same, I hope you are ok…..you are ok x
I wrote a comment back in July 2018 about struggling and this song making sense to me. I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression. I have sense taking medicine for it and changed my life completely to make myself better physically and emotionally. If you're reading this, you can do it too. You're not alone, its not about the destination, its about the journey. One day you will tell someone what you went through and it'll help them. If you want to talk shoot me a message or reply here. We have to be there for each other.
i too know the pain and suffering of this....the words fight on while easy to say are hard to do, but you have to...talk to people, there are many more people that deal with this than anyone knows, its kept secret because its scary, but its not, everyone has something to fight on about.
im absolutely addicted to this specific performance
the intro, the harmonica, the speech, i listen to it everyday
That’s the power of music!
I have this speech up in my office and any time I am having a hard time, I look at it, read every word, and tell myself to "fight on."
Take inspiration from wherever you can get it; life is rough sometimes; best wishes to you
“Fight on” is my go to all the time as well.
Probably the best monologue I've ever heard. He's my god. As a musician, as a person, as everything. Respect Sir John Mayer.
😂
he's so hot and not just coz he's good looking
I got teary-eyed watching this... He is like our own personal shrink.
I'll hand you a tissue; Keep enjoying the music; Music is Magic
3 years later and i still cant watch this without totally balling my eyes out. Ive suffered from a panic disorder for 14 years. And this speech is just pure comfort to me.
This video is first hand why John Mayer will always be my favorite artist of all time
Those words of wisdom he shared are really helping me navigate through some hard times. God Bless John Mayer
watching this again because it's one of my freak-out days. always great.
Freak away!
I'm having one now! Trying to figure out which walls to smash!
I broke my leg and broke up with my girlfriend last week. Cant tell you how much this video has changed me.
I use this video for the same reason, has really helped me get through things
Jesus I needed this today. Thank you, John Mayer. ❤🥲
It’s 2017, laying in bed, pondering life, accepting the fact the girl I love is with someone else, fighting whether to hold everything all in or let it all out. I will forever be greatful for john’s words. One day when I too am standing in front of 17,00 people playing my soul out, I’ll remember this speech, and give credit where it’s due. Everyone freaks out, it’s what we need to just do. It’s how we fight the war we’re in is what we remember..
AJ Harvey i believed in your words! Fight on
AJ Harvey “fighting whether to hold everything all in or let it all out” thats a damn good phrass
i've been coming back to this video for 7 years now. Found it when i started high school and im about to finish college now, the music and the message is simply timeless.
Gabriel Ortiz samse here
It's a great song! Good luck with college Gabriel Ortiz
This guys is so DAMN great. He might act douchy every now and then, but speeches like this, inspire me, and really makes me respect him. He's so great.
his energy is very contiguous ，that‘s why i love him
John is a living legend ❤
I was reading through the comments before the video was even halfway over, and I didn't understand why this affected everyone so much. Now I'm here, with tears running down my face and I get it.
I've struggled with depression intermittently for the past five or six years, and this really helped improve my mindset. Thanks so much for keeping this video up.
Bless you Nicole; want to wish you the best; Hope, Love and Peace
When he says "fight on" I get chills😭 this is soooo important and everyone should have the chance to see this
Have been listening to John for a few years now, but I only discovered this song last week. The melody, the harmonies, the mood, the simplicity and yhe beauty strikes me. Can't believe hoe many beautiful songs John has.
been listening John Mayer for last ~5 years and discovered this song last week! Vibe is sooo smooth! Love it!
22 about to be 23 and this is the man and his music that saved my life
Jesus Christ I needed this song. And this speech. I’ve been a fan of his for 12+ years now and have NEVER seen this video. Nothing happens by chance. Thank you for posting this. Truly.
Same here man, never seen this till now and it’s speaking volumes about the artist and person he is. Much love
Still the best
This video has made such a difference in my life. It has saved my life.
This gave me hysterical cry
It's 2019. Are you still watching this? If so, there's a reason. Maybe you're experiencing that moment where you're freaking the fuck out, and you're wondering if it's okay. Maybe you need a remind that it IS okay. Isn't it crazy how you're not the only one? Save this wisdom forever. TEACH this...to your children, your grandchildren, your friends, your foes...YOURSELF.
very relate-able to those of us that know the struggle.
Forever will go back to this
One of the greatest performances I've ever seen. I can't even describe it. Almost cried during his speech in the middle. Fight on everybody =)
Thank you whoever recorded this!
I found this song while I was in a manic episode. It hit me of course very very hard. I was running so hard. I started my weight loss journey in January 2020. With struggles, and finally getting diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder. I was able to get help. I’ve lost a great amount of weight. This song pushed me so hard. What John says in the middle of this song is absolutely beautiful!!! That brought me tears. “Fight On!” Keep on fightin’ y’all. We got this!!
"im not worried about it im just telling you, my mums not into that"
HAHAHHA!!
Hahaha sweet voice
Up to this point I consider it part of the song. I don't know if I'm comfortable about it.
i really want to know what they were talking about ,, my ocd really wants to know
Everyones thinking it. Im just gonna say it. Sounds like the husband wants a little mother/daughter action.
Don't worry, I was just leaving.
This is my fav John Mayer's song, no doubt about it and this performance, holy smokes this performance...
A meaningful song+meaningful improv speech(at least I think so)+guitar+great harmonica-zynex pill=This is John fking Mayer everyone!
thank you john and thank you whoever uploaded this. this has been a some kind of cure for my anxiety attacks when he goes on from “its gonna happen when youre having the time of your life” and etc it felt real. music will always be the best medicine
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
This is definitely the song that most describe my life. And i cry every time i listen, a cry begging to things get better :(
4 years later, how are things?
I have been coming back to this video ever since it first came out. I’m having my freak out day today... and I’m doing my best to tell myself I will be okay because it’s alright to have this freak out day right now.
and this too shall pass. It just reminds you of how far you've come.
I gotta be honest. This is my favorite song at this point in my life. It has about 100 more plays than my second most played song on itunes. Of course the second most played is also John Mayer. But really, I'm in the war of my life. I freak out. I gotta prescription too, but the drugs never last. If there is one thing I've learned so far in my life is that when I start thinking, I'm as good as dead. So I'm just gonna do what I do best...and play my guitar and sing about it. Fight on...
I saw this video 6 months ago. I still watch it from time to time. I wish I could show it to everyone, because everyone needs to hear this. I just wish someone could be there for him. He more than deserves it.
really wish i was around to see it! he was the perfect combination of old john and new one in ths concert
fuck, this is now my favorite video ever…
Love this video so much. This doesn’t go through my blood stream- it goes through my plumbing. I love him!
Being at this concert must have felt like a spiritual experience, I really hope one day I get to experience this.
This song means so much to me. I listened to it and played it back in October. In the wake of losing my house in Breezy Point to Hurricane Sandy and just when I thought it was over, my grandmother who was 98 had a stroke and was put into ICU. I had so much on my mind, what would happen after this? I listened to this and it made me want to 'fight on.' A week after her stroke, she passed and my family and I had to rebuild our house. Now here I am, and everything's alright. So fight on.
Went to work this morning and had one of these "freak out" moments. Came home for lunch, watched this and the day seems a little more bearable. Thanks John.
this made my day
John never fails.Just a perfect lyrics, perfect song.
Many months have passed that I feel like shit and I always return to see this video of John, the lyrics are my whole life
His smile after the Xanax joke... =)
eu tava tentando entender e uma br vai lá e faz o único comentário desvendando! aulas
@@caiothreefold 😁
Todays Therapy ❤
this performance made me love this song 100000 times more.
I always love how candid and honest he is. He gives some really amazing advice, on top of that being an amazing performance.
Every time I watch this video I understand the meaning and depth of each sentence he says a bit more than the last. This video is helping me get through so much since 2021 when I first came across it.
John loves to give out some of the greatest speech ever, always help me to keep doing what I do. He should sum all of his ideas of thinking and make a book.
I see a lot of people sharing their lives and their struggles around here and I would like to leave my coment too. I am going trough a very difficult time. I was a completely jerk and I lost the love of my life. Now, I am completely lost and I just don't know what to do, what to think, where to run, to go. Spent almost a day without food, because all I could do was cry. Sometimes it seems that there is nothing left to do, but I'll fight on. This is the war of my life and I'm gonna fight on until is done. I am gonna get her back. We belong togheter and will fight on. I am freaking out at this moment, but I'll fight on. This song means a lot for me and it was able to set my mind free for a while. I am very thankful fot it. Hope it will pass. I am gonna get her back. This is a promess.
Wish you the best! Hang in there, success is often just over the hump in the road
Mano, eu já tinha lido seu comentário há uns meses, senão mais de ano. Mas hoje eu tô passando pelo que você passou (só que eu não fiz besteira), e tô perdendo a mulher que eu amo tanto e tanto me ama por diferenças irreparáveis. Não é erro de nenhum dos dois, simplesmente diferenças. Tô perdidaço. Tá difícil suportar e eu ando chorando o tempo todo. Ainda bem que esse vídeo existe.
Deu tudo certo pra você? Espero que sim.
O que nos resta é "fight on".
Abraço, meu parceiro.

Das coisas da vida que não têm explicação... Após esse texto, eu consegui ela de volta. Ficamos juntos mais um tempo considerável, até que terminamos. 8 meses se passaram do término e voltamos. Depois dessa ultima volta, terminamos outra vez, e dessa vez, até o momento, a última. Sem esperanças de que haja mais.
Hoje fazem 6 meses que terminamos pela ultima vez e eu já tentei tampar esse buraco com mulher, com droga, festa e bedida, tudo em vão. Ainda prossigo (ou pelo menos tento prosseguir) no “fight on”...
Sem desistir, amigo. Boa sorte pra nós.
@@HenriqueGS8 Any updates? Greetings from Germany! :)
I will always return to this video during one of my “freak out” days. Thank you John
I can't ever get over how incredible this whole performance is...
6:52
Fight on!
I needed this more than ever. Thanks John
I love him so much. Such a goddamn genius. Can’t stand it.
dear john,
thank you for the musical and verbal therapy. i feel better. you are the greatest.
i think this is the most beautiful video ever. not just the song but that is such a good speech. his advice is so inspiring. anyone who says they dont like jm should watch this video and then be asked if they still dislike him
this is the song of my life
Love that you love music that much Camila; I love music sooooooooooooooooooo MUCH! If we should never meet, I hope you have a great time in Life! :) Best Wishes!
I needed this so much. Thank you John.
Fight on brother! Much support from Greece!
This speech is helping me a lot atm.
One year later. I need your help again.
It is a great speech; he really is reaching out to people. Best Wishes Andrej Cvetkovski!
It's insane how much I relate to this. From the moment I wake up until an hour after I lay down to bed my thoughts are racing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ What a powerful message delivered beautifully through music!
most important JM video on yt?
I wished he played this song at his concerts nowadays. It's possible he forgot how to play the song since he rarely plays it today.
This man is so beautiful!!! I'm glad I NEVER gave up on him, thru thick & fkn thin, his whole career was always about the INTEGRITY OF ART AND LOVE.
This guy is a music warrior!
If im not mistaken this is during his tour supporting heartbreak warfare. During this tour, he started reallyyy liking the sounds that you now here on born and raised. He actually started to write some of the songs you hear on B+R on the HW tour (conceptual ideas of songs). He was entering a fertile song-writing moment prematurely and wanted nothing more than to follow that inspiration, but he really couldn't do it while on tour. So yes he most certainly wanted to go home. Badly
you know, there is really something beautiful about people singing along, slightly out of tune, to songs they love so much by an artist they love so much at a concert.
blows me away every time i hear it....LOVE him SO much!
This is the best thing ive ever come across. Thank you john mayer
1:11-1:15 That lick he plays on the harmonica when he goes down to the F#m chord is so tasty.
This song helped me go through so much. It's why Battle Studies is my ultimate album by John. And please never take down this video. It gives me so much hope.
My faviorite artist of all time..
Love this guy so much, his look on things and life is just so eye-opening, comforting, true and such a releaf to hear him say these things. He's my rock. ♡♡♡
His empathy is huge and his compassion is deep. Love that harmonica! (almost as good as my brother) HeeHee
This is the second time Mayer makes me cry in front of the TV. Last time was his speech for Edge of Desire. I just feeling very vulnerable at this moment of my life. Yes I am freaking out
a heart that is bleeding loves you even more john. this gives me hope. thank you!!!!
i just fell in love with john mayer. for real.
so sharp so unreal.
it's smth..to be sharp today,like no one else.
This performance has so much soul in it, it has really helped me to get through though times. It was that little voice that said "you gotta get up and fight back"
and then he actually takes one out and shows the crowd! what a true artist, damn that is awesome!
To the love of my life,
Things can get rough, and life isn’t always as amazing as we hoped it would be. I hope this finds you in a time when you need it most. All I want you to know is that I love you, and even though I may not be the most perfect man, I try hard every day to be that for you. I may be inconsiderate at times, and may take you for granted, please know that you mean the world to me. You’re my light in the dead of the night, and just as you helped me fight through my struggles, I want to be that for you. I love you
god john seriously
love love love this song
the harmonica.. oh my gosh. I teared up within the first minute.
Thank you John
Still listening,forever,legendary song
That's why i do love him, he's kind of my inspiration ! You're just perfect as a muscian & a person too ! Iloveyou JohnMayer.
Gosh, he's just...that sleeve..his voice...the harmonica. I just wanna see him again!
This man is extremely theatrical. What he is saying is a no brainer. Love the song, though. Appreciate the encouragement too. He means well.
