- John Mayer performing "War of my Life" and "Heartbreak Warfare" at the Hotel Cafe. 6.14.09 Front Row Center. I think both these songs will be on his new album "Battle Studies."

He's my long-time favorite musician, but every few months I discover another new (old) favorite John Mayer song that strikes a chord with me. Today it's War of My Life. Brilliant artist.
i feel exactly the same. in love with heartbreak warfare nowadays
Yup! I know of this song for a long time but I never gave it a chance for some reason. Now I'm loving it
I love how he threw in a little 'Bittersweet' at the end of heartbreak warfare :D
So raw. Just him and a guitar. That was a beautiful rendition of heartbreak warfare!
Nobody can touch him. He is so incredibly talented. It's sick.
Tbh I went into 10th grade having it good but during october it came to a fall and then it came back to good at March. The words in the song describe what I felt. Such a criminally underatted song from an underrated album.
every time i listen to 'heartbreak warfare' i realize how this song is beautiful and awesome...
best versions of war of my life, heartbreak warfare and friends lovers or nothing.
This is comin from someone who got a lot of bootlegs of mayer
fuckin thank you for filming this
After two years I keep comin back to this.
it's amazing how much better that whole album is live than studio. I think the producers kind of blew it tbh because every song is beautiful
@@ohdannyboy6801 he and steve jordan were the producers, i love the LP's version too, but this one is so naked , just him and his guitar and it's so good
@@hiterss still coming after 5 years?
@@potatochicko I listened to this one like a month ago, so YES
His passion for music is impeccable.
he isn't trying any bluesy stuff on this album. he is going for a more pop genre. man is a genius either way.
WOW this version of Heartbreak Warfare is absolutely gorgeous.
OMG! His tone for Heartbreak Warfare in this video is absolutely fantastic.
I get tt. He's willing to confront the discomfort of any demons that come up rather than sittng in the complacent, half-dead kind of numbing pain that takes forever (if ever) to heal. He's talking about fighting for his LIFE and not allowing himself to slowly die. I'm probably head tripping here...but I am so intrigued by WOML. It takes courage to write such a very personal, yet universal, song. Reminds me of Kenny Loggins "This Is it" except a generation later.
WOW to Heartbreak Warfare. John is a master of starting low and then taking the song to a higher level near the finish.
@7:56 one of the most beautiful chord progressions I've ever heard
Steven R I thought I was the only one who found it profound. You know what cord shifts those are?
the chord for that bridge section is Fmaj7, Cmaj7, Gmaj7 (he only plays the 1,3,and 7 notes of the chords)
Saw John in Columbus...My 3rd time seeing him. He is like fine wine. He just keeps getting better and better...
i love the intimacy of this performance
love these versions of two of my favorite songs by him
The way he strikes his chords must please even God's ears
He’s got an unbelievable right handed touch. I’ve noticed he puts a lot of time in his rhythm techniques.
I was checking this out and digging the "Edge" kinda sound he's getting from that Dusenburg so I checked their site to look at gtrs & it has a link to this post.
i totally agree, i would want to get one as well!!!
inspired...gonna write because of this
This Heartbreak Warfare it so much more beautiful than the album version. I think THIS is how he wanted it to be perceived. Not as the poppy, radio ready song that it became.
Love these songs....Heartbreak Warfare makes me want to give him a hug. That is a really deep song.
i hope he still puts taking on water on the the album.
his voice is on point omg
War of my life
Heartbreak Warfare
Friends, Lovers, Or Nothing
Taking on Water
HIs biggest hits off the album
exquisite... so much emotion...
Heartbreak Warfare sounds so beautiful this way
Simply LOVE Heartbreak Warfare :D
Cannot wait for Battle Studies, it will come at a GREAT moment in my life, college \o/
Bittersweeeeet (L)
wow this is super cool to look back on now
brilliance knows no age i guess
Words don't describe how good this song is , the emotions do .
Coming through in 2022 to say how remarkably John’s ‘live’ work rivals the recorded!’ Both are beautiful, but my preference is always the live. He adds so much more that you won’t get in a recording. That’s what A Creative Genius, A Master, The Man and THE KING does for you ❣️💡🌟💎👑
BATTLE STUDIES just come out already!!!!
I think the album comes out in September, because he released all of his albums then. And to pick a date, I'd say September 9th.
JM at his best yet again...Can't wait for Battle Studies to come out!
Was literally at the "war of my life" that time, my dad just passed a few months ago of this upload. Damn time flies.
i loved the sample at the end!
Awesome, i saw him 2 nights ago
thank you for posting these =)
love this song, his cd is really good.
Thanx JEN!!..without her emotional input/output John could not have come up with a definitive masterpiece, really I know my music, I know emotions and this video/song really entangles both into an extraordinary beatiful rendition. If leonardo da vinci were alive today he would be writing a different code!!
Awsome John
that song has actually already been on and off the radio...it was definitely released in the US.
UAU!... I love so much this version of "heartbreak warfare"! His feelings are so wide open: such intimacy, such truth, such heartbreak, such pain...How could a woman be able to hurt him so much?
i like these versions better than the album, so much more emotion
i ve got goosebumps... fantastic song (war of my life)
amazing....
my god man!! incredible.. reduced to tears once more John!
Fucking sweet song right there, want the album so bad now.
What a songwriter. I love where John is as an artist now, and I'm so happy to have been along for the eight year ride. He seems really comfortable with where he's at. Even though he says he has less confidence now, he exudes more than I've ever seen him exude. Or maybe I'm confusing confidence with sexy. LOL I
war of my life is going to be my favorite song on this record, If he does any song better than that, then I'll truely be shocked
Great music, great guitar sound
this is very nice...
the tone he's getting is intense..good settings
Inspirational
hell yeah id love to smoke a few bowls with john mayer
im going in may to wembley!!! gonna be awesome!
Heartbreak Warfare .. this feels heart braking
yea, I love that tone. Gives me goosebumps. Hit's the soul
Nothing out of the ordinary from the tone here. Typical John Mayer clean tone through his two rock. He's got the best tone right now no doubt. For all you guitar players like me, i'm sure you've spend ages trying to nail this tone!!
the girl talking has a sexy voice! yet another great song by john! nice work john...
Thank you.
If he had this same guitar sound, and the same drum beat as on the album version put togther, it would of been an AMAZING song
The single greatest moment in my life!
Awesome! I can't wait to see him too!!! Just two weeks to go =)
Thanks for this. amazing songs!!
Outstanding video, thanks for posting. Keep em' coming...
"red wine and ambien, you're talking shit again" that's sick...
I perfer this version of heartbreak warfare than on the album..
Amazing! I cannot wait to see him tomorrow :D
He used Fender for hotel cafe gigs! I think it was a Blues junior.
love his music very soulfull
both of these songs strike a chord with me that just make me feel like he knows me way too well lol
Genius.
perfect. 💠
Such magic. These people have no idea how lucky they are.
Wow, awesome.
i seriously think he should but the bittersweat part at the end of the song, it just fits really really good
No, not at all, because that's what makes John Mayer so great. Most of these songs that he plays before the album releases will sound different on the album and have different lyrics.
Duas lindissimas musicas.
Gosto do fato de John Mayer dizer as coisas para o publico
Qdo a gente gosta do artista qualquer coisa que ele diz , pra gente e maximo.
WAR OF MY LIFE - background Music for Life!!
this is such a great song and good job on the recording :)
you're so lucky to have been there
Best version ever!!
Yes
I hate that I love his music so much...I want to not care--futile.
Thanks for posting. sigh....
Who said he could be so DAMN good?.
breath-taking :))))))
Brother você toca com a alma..Sensacional!
Nando - Brasil
haha i was just sittin here thinking about where the F i heard that before: "i dont want you, but i need you"! Thanks.
this song is awesome..it's easy to play too :D
oh thank you, thats interresting! Never heard of it. but it seem to be the Duoble Cat model. Beautiful guitar!
I'm pretty sure that Snow Patrol is one of his heavy influence in this album.
Haven't heard a better version of Heartbreak Warfare yet. Feels like time stops at 8:22
amazing
Thanks for posting. sigh....
Who said he could be so DAMN good?
Battle Studies come out already;)
lightnin days ;)
+Jennifer Michelle Crawley turned into 'Shadow Days' !!!!
@karolinax2 YES!! have a look at any video from the Live in LA concert and that will make your mind up for u!
If it was like this on the album, it would have been so much better. Just him and guitar, that's signature Mayer.
The hurt for the new record!? news to me...
actually i just realized taking on water isnt on the album... darn... but i change my fourth hit to "perfectly Lonely" instead of taking on water... i truly think those will be his four big hits..
he played at the fucking hotel cafe in la!!!! shitttttt
Killer Tone.
