    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.

    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.

      After commenting on this , I thought it read kinda harsh.....and that was not my intention, and just wanted to say that I'll ALSO think of you as well. Peace

    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.

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

    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.

      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

    This song is so haunting with its lyrics... I'm not a dad, don't have any kids, but don't think I need one to know how special women are and how crucial they are to the survival of ALL mankind. We all came from mothers, who gave birth to us - even if they sacrificed nothing else - still gave us life, and that in itself is a blessing to be valued & cherished forever.
    So on behalf of all the good guys out there - lets tip the scales back in our favor! We are not Gods of their world, rather they are Goddesses of ours...

    A couple years ago I suffered from a severe illness that put me in a coma. The doctors told my parents I would not make it. I was out for over 12 hours. I am a huge John fan so my family was just playing his songs for me. My heart was only 15. It started to pick up when Daughters was on so they kept replaying. I eventually woke up and here I am today

    This song finally made sense yesterday. My daughter and I are the same. We love with passion, and are cold and callous when we don’t have to be. I just realized she’s learning that from me. 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.

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.

    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.

    My dad used to sing this song to me all of the time. Eventually as I got older, he stopped, the song fading from my memory. I stumbled across this song in my recommendations and all the memories of him singing in our small white house flooded back. John Mayer might be a fool, but this song is a treasure a d I will always thank him a little for it. For making my early years void of silence and filled this prospects of becoming a good mother that my father will be proud of.

    im 14 my dad used to play this song in the car all the time a month ago he had a heart attack and a stroke and was put in a coma for 3 long weeks. on july 3rd he passed away. its so hard knowing ill never sing this song with him again we didnt get along perfectly because he was the total opposite of me but he was still my dad and i miss him like hell i with i got to tell him how much i love him but im not affectionate and never told him so everyday i think about him and all the fun memories we’ve shared. the first time i visited him i sat and cried and held his hand i couldnt speak even though i knew he could hear me. i feel so guilty about that. after about 15 minutes of sitting in the hospital room with him he started opening his eyes and i saw tears shed. the next time i had vistited him because the doctors gave him a week to a month left to live. i could barely even look at him it looked nothing like him. that was last time i got to see him breathing. I miss you so much dad. ❤️❤️

I know she will grow and learn the hush realities of life when she grows up and what love is all about but for her to know i tried all i could to see her become the best she could be will be the greatest thing i as a father would have given her, love, protection and a best friend she never had. A legacy of love. Thank you Mr Mayer, i always get teary when i listen to this song when looking at my bundle of joy. Will play this for her when she grows up.

    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.

      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.
