I remember in one interview he said his parents wanted to take him to a psychiatrist as a teen such was his obsession with playing guitar. It dominated his life above food & interaction and he literally never left his room. That's passion 👍
This song really touched me cause we come from that generation where are mothers and fathers we're really trying hard and doing the best they could...now it is our turn and we will do better...nice song, just love it.
They just didn’t know what they didn’t know i guess. So we pick up the pieces and pass on better to the next. To those unfortunate enough to know, this song is just beautiful
How much of my mother has my mother left in me? How much of my love will be insane to some degree? And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? How much of my father am I destined to become? Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone? Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be? Does a broken home become another broken family? Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted, could I rise above the flood? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood? I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood? Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
"Okay camera two, get a shot of the electric solo" "No not johns wooden one, the one next to him...camera three get on that!" "Cut to camera three during an appropriate beat..annd...NOW" "...damn...Just cut back to camera two to get all of them in the shot" "OH SHIT CAMERA 4 CAMERA 4 CAMERA 4 YOU IDIOTS CUT TO CAMERA 4" *gets the last 2 seconds of transitioning solo*
Not alone. It cuts. I grew up in a toxic household my mom was a religious nut but raised me well enough all things considered. My dad was abusive. They divorced. My brother i miss him but arent as close as we should be. So no it take me down a tough road but its cathartic.
i grew up with a mom who has MPD and a dad who was abusive and a brother who left his own son and this song hits home hard. cause i dont wanna be like my parents or my brother.
One of the most underappreciated songs of the last twenty years. In many ways, Mayer has encapsulated the question which post-modern Western (and adjacent) cultures are struggling, but has perceptively understood it to foremost be a personal problem.

Cant believe there are 51,000 views and only 390 likes - whats wrong with you folks huh ? Shew...... as for the tune - classic. excellent thank you for the upload Bruna
This song is an absolute masterpiece.
Real
JJ Keller I totally agree!
You should hear Home Free cover it
JJ Keller I agree so much!
you mean every mayer song
Probably the most meaningful lyrics he's ever written.
Not a chance!
I swear every time I hear Mayer play, it makes me wanna pick up the guitar.
Sarthaka do it!!
I remember in one interview he said his parents wanted to take him to a psychiatrist as a teen such was his obsession with playing guitar. It dominated his life above food & interaction and he literally never left his room. That's passion 👍
Mayer is the reason I started playing guitar he's a masterpiece #Mayerd.it
Everytime i tried to play like Mayer, i throw my guitar.
That's exactly it
I’m convinced this is one of the greatest songs of all time.
This dude is the most underrated song writer ever. He is a magician with lyrics.
Underrated for sure but I would give the title of most underrated singer to elliott smith. The lyrics are sth else.
And an amazing guitar player to !
The most profound lyrics of any John Mayer song and one of the reasons I consider TSFE his most underrated album. Absolute genius.
Took me so long to find the beauty in it but as of right now it’s my favorite album alongside Born and Raised.
Oh yes. Especially when you try to sing it yourself. Such a souljerker 😔
I dedicate this song to my son, who is in pariental alienation. I love him but I'm not allowed to love him by his mother
I hope his mother see this comment and change her mind
John Mayer is easily The Greatest Musician of our time! Hands down
I can’t disagree, but have you heard Alejandro Aranda?…
John Mayer asking the right questions in this song
This song really touched me cause we come from that generation where are mothers and fathers we're really trying hard and doing the best they could...now it is our turn and we will do better...nice song, just love it.
They just didn’t know what they didn’t know i guess. So we pick up the pieces and pass on better to the next. To those unfortunate enough to know, this song is just beautiful
This song makes me hate my life just a little bit less. Thanks John
Still one of the only ballads to tackle the nature vs nurture debate..
Probably my favorite John Mayer song.
First time I heard this song was live at Madison Square Garden. It knocked the wind out of me. This one cuts deep!
I'm literally a middle child of three male siblings and every word he is singing is what I have experienced/am experiencing. Dang!
These lyrics are beautiful.
How much of my mother has my mother left in me?
How much of my love will be insane to some degree?
And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
How much of my father am I destined to become?
Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone?
Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be?
Does a broken home become another broken family?
Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, could I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
An absolute masterpiece. His greatest work in my humble opinion.
So depressingly lovely lol.
This song is phenomenal.....hits me to the core!
The lyrics in this track absolutely shit on my face. Love it so much.
Carlos Ricketts singing those angelic vocals at the end. Just beautiful.
By far one of my favorite songs
And artists
This song is so good. This song has staying power and a timeless sensibility.
1:17 she looks so in love with him
I understand her cause wtf he is 40??? He looks like he's in his late 20s
"Okay camera two, get a shot of the electric solo"
"No not johns wooden one, the one next to him...camera three get on that!"
"Cut to camera three during an appropriate beat..annd...NOW"
"...damn...Just cut back to camera two to get all of them in the shot"
"OH SHIT CAMERA 4 CAMERA 4 CAMERA 4 YOU IDIOTS CUT TO CAMERA 4"
*gets the last 2 seconds of transitioning solo*
Sonamor minute please
@@chomby3 3:16 - 3:40
If any performance is Repeat-Worthy, this one is!
Why can't I help it but cry every time I listen to this song. Am I alone? Fuck.
Not alone. It cuts. I grew up in a toxic household my mom was a religious nut but raised me well enough all things considered. My dad was abusive. They divorced. My brother i miss him but arent as close as we should be. So no it take me down a tough road but its cathartic.
Same..😭
i grew up with a mom who has MPD and a dad who was abusive and a brother who left his own son and this song hits home hard. cause i dont wanna be like my parents or my brother.
hope you do your best buddy
The man is an unlikely musical genius! I absolutely LOVE this man's music!
This song has me blubbering every time
I use to think John Mayer was talented but shallow!!! He can sure write some GREAT SONGS, FOR SURE. MY FAVORITE!!!!!❤️💛♥️💜💙🧡💚❤️
Listen to slow dancing in a burning room next!
Best lyrics ever
Son, you had me at how much your love will be insane to some degree.
Im so in love with his voice, it takes me deep in my soul, make me feel like I’ve somehow experience heaven, I swear❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He is a very nice man.
these Lyrics ....story of my life !
DNA, THAT'S WAS THIS SONGS ABOUT. WHAT IS BORN YOU FROM YOUR FATHER & MOTHER. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A SONG ABOUT EVERYONE'S D N A. THANKS JOHN BH
One of the most underappreciated songs of the last twenty years. In many ways, Mayer has encapsulated the question which post-modern Western (and adjacent) cultures are struggling, but has perceptively understood it to foremost be a personal problem.
Those good old times before Corona happened.
Masterpiece
THANK YOU JOHN MAYER!! FROM YOUR AWESOME FAN AMY FOSS.
John meyers
How much of my mother has my mother left in me?
How much of my love will be insane to some degree?
And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
How much of my father am I destined to become?
Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone?
Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be?
Does a broken home become another broken family?
Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, could I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?
Might be his best song this the more I think about it
This song breaks me. I love it.
Love this song! Think it reflects thought I unconsciously have had..
It's more tough to sing for 50 than to 5 thousand.
Shout-out to D.R.H. for jamming a Squier Jazzmaster onstage with Mayer!
One of my favorite songs by him

Nice song
Hi guys!, can anyone tell me where and when was this show?, thanks. Hi from Buenos Aires*
So relatable to me
Universal
Wauw❤
Yo who was doing the falsetto's on the hook? They sound even better here than on the album.
Sounds to me like it was just Mayer tracking the bgvs on this tune for the album.
Credits say Sheryl Crow
Are u from Portugal? (I love all John Mayer Songs this one is one of my favourites)
No, I'm from Brazil.
this is song is so beautiful - i ranked it 18th for the year but it could as easily be first :) twitter
The song is wonderful. The performance is awful...find the Home Free version and you'll agree.
My great mother are die on this song
내가 살아가는 많은 이유들 중에 한 가지는 존 메이어 노래를 듣기 위해서임
Great song.....dead and company influence??
