John Butler Trio - Better Than (Official Video)

[@MeAndMyJays]

This song is on the playlist we have at work and most of the songs get old and repetitive quick, but for some reason this song never does.

[@ricksmith3571]

His music is so moving. Depression killer 4 sure!

[@Peacefulchaos2024]

What a great, positive, chill, honest heartfelt groove/vibe. Y'all are my musical inspirations and i hope you know that! Justin " notes " maki

[@tamyrapohle3888]

The song reminds me that it could always be worse. Whenever I hear it uplifts me

[@matthannah4621]

This song takes me back to simpler times... living in Dallas in 2011, running the katy trail every morning. This was a go to on the playlist.

[@hannahudson7570]

I was in Dallas in 2011 as well. I moved to Austin that year too. I feel like my life might be different if I found this band/him sooner than this morning, haha. BUT I found them, so I can't complain! Cheers & all the best to you where you are now.

[@pablourfer4627]

It's hard staying in a bad mood after listening to this song. Mein Opa hat mich mit diesem Lied zum Althar geführt!!!!!!!!!! Es bedeutet mir extrem viel :-)

[@michaelthorne4847]

How does this only have 3.5k views..... Such an amazing song

[@klkvm]

Dude I love this song its so true. Life is more than materialistic things its about the friendships and love that you share between your family and friends.

[@onepunchmantolkienfan5383]

This song is so good, criminally under views imo!

[@scottpadilla6631]

Butler!!!!!!!!!

[@roblesali]

Love the lyrics.

[@quirkyfire]

This was the daily morning song of a student ambassador trip I took to Australia six years ago, and this is the first time I've heard it again. It is brilliant, and I'm surprised as to how I so easily recognized the first few notes.

[@GreenGleem]

I know this is an ancient comment, but I also went on a PtoP trip to Australia. I bet we had the same tour guide!

[@mahadzaffar2906]

yo how's life after 9 years?

[@aimeewoodworks]

@@mahadzaffar2906 'better than' it was! XD

[@CrystalRose333]

​@GreenGleem ayyye I did a P2P trip too! Went to England, Ireland, Scotland, & Wales summer of 2002. Australia was the 2003 destination but unfortunately couldn't afford it at the time.

[@robinhalferty6837]

i love the meaning of better than and think that the banjo is great Love the lyrics.

[@dezaraehuynh845]

[@tvgubber]

[@idenkim777]

[@omidnajafi2584]

[@Melanie99999]

Lyrics: All you want is What you can't have And if you just look around man You see you got magic So just sit back relax Enjoy it while you still have it Don't look back on life man and only see tragic Because you could be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than You can be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better All the time while you're looking away There are things you can do man There's things you can say To the the ones you're with With whom you're spending the today Get your gaze off tomorrow And let come what it may Because you could be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than You can be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better All I know is sometimes things can be hard But you should know by now They come and they go So why, oh why Do I look to the other side 'Cause I know the grass is greener but Just as hard to mow Life's not about what's better than 'Cause all you want is What you can't have And if you just look around man You see you got magic So just sit back relax Enjoy it while you still have it Don't look back on life man and only see tragic Because You could be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than You can be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than You could be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than You can be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than.

[@Melanie99999]

Auf diesen Song bin ich besonders spezialisiert. Er ist mein einmaliger Favorit und spielte natürlich bei meiner Hochzeit! Ich liebe ihn und höre ihn am liebsten tag und Nacht

[@musiclover6686]

this song always makes me feel better too

[@aaronc.c.8023]

So I found a song list from like 2014 and all it said was "better than" with no other context. I know this was definitely not the song but I'm glad I came across it in my search :)

[@Aaron6791ae]

This song is like candy to my ears.

[@nayroK.O]

Découverte de St Nolff 2023 ❤

[@samz20001]

awesome song

[@hawkvandelay]

This needs to be on the top 10 most downloaded songs in the US. too bad most of society in the US likes music thats mostly computer generated. John Butler Trio has INCREDIBLE talent. Extremely catchy tunes. want more proof? see there song Zebra.

[@MissSuperEargasmic]

An absolutely beautiful song... i feel so lucky that it reminds of the best summer of my life x

[@benjaminscisly4560]

Geat song. JBT is amazing!

[@Pishcott85]

Still pissed I found this band month ago... man this is masterpiece...

[@tonycurtis4088]

[@LynnStrifeTsubame]

Great song!!! :D

[@Ollay245]

@dontwant2forget9 yeah I'd be in awe I think - it's absolutely beautiful

[@SoMusic15]

@UAflightcrew when you're as much of a boss as john butler, i'm pretty sure you can make any style, old or new, look fresh as hell. let's be serious.

[@amateurwave3593]

Classic MTv vibes

[@metlheaddrumr]

Some crazy guy showed me this band

[@lindagayparkis6621]

💕💕💕...

[@FabianSchleiden]

"Hungry for Change" DID bring me here :D

[@FabianSchleiden]

Yes, i am super fat

[@rebeccalockharth1842]

Goosebumps...I've got so many goosebumps 😍 I will use it on my channel playlist!

[@aoifefinlay1018]

poorly less people know jonh =( if i look at the commends people post once a month. Wtf ? He deserves much more fame ...

[@Shiven23]

niceee!

[@Ollay245]

@dontwant2forget9 I haven't seem them live but I didn't know he would play his old solo stuff? That's so great to hear :D

[@videosbeleza6391]

Like, if you're watching this in 2011

[@claudiamyx4806]

Que gran cancion esto me anima el dia!

[@Kokusaijin101]

reminds me of my Oz Adventure!

[@U0AO]

AR. Yep

[@U0AO]

It's not about what's better than but don't let it get the {better} of you.

[@robyn1509]

john butler, along with the changing members of the trio, actually toured the world independently, and put out albums independently, what do you mean sold out?

[@tirkentube]

i wouldn't call atlantic records "independently" and his newer music sounds like a carbon copy of imagine dragons. who also "sold out" doesn't change the fact that this is a fantastic song, and album, but was way back when.

[@Gez-C]

my fav part of the song is 0.00-3.44

[@romo2517]

2020!

[@laurenjepson1997]

poorly less people know jonh =( if i look at the commends people post once a month. Great song!!! :D my fav part of the song is 0.00-3.44

[@TheR31silo]

Its funny how musicians dont rly get fameous unless they sell out and jbt r so talented

[@MusicMade4Anime]

43 people let it get the better of them

[@wlee6685]

Heard this quirky song on the elevator but liked it anyway. Simple but cute.

[@nwparker94]

agreed great song but don't know if I'd call it quirky

[@peteralbert1485]

Sampled from “So Much Better”?

[@ryanctho87]

defiantly in a different key but i dig it :)

[@eduardomagana3858]

You notice too?

[@CainGordon]

Awesome song. I haven't seen the video for it before so I enjoyed this. Let me know if my video on my page is anywhere close! Take care Cain G

[@juanprados4164]

Don't let them get the better of you. Think about it real hard. Basicly it claims that if you do let things get under your skin and act upon it that you have shown your better... Some expressions are not as positive as meant

[@Blueshirt38]

It's funny that most modern drummers have 20 piece sets and play the same boring shit, but this guy has- what, a 7 piece kit, and he plays 10x better than most people.

[@amanderruth]

i miss his dreads, even though he still looks great!

[@ayushsoni8401]

10 years is a LONG timeXD

[@nathanhall2720]

Does anybody else think that this music video version of the song sound different than how it sounds on Apple Musc/Spotify?

[@joelgardnermusic]

Yeah! It's DEFO slower / pitched down

[@Aardvarked88]

The version on the John Butler Trio's youtube is the correct one

[@beetlejuice9100]

better then and more then a CAT-butler

[@turna23]

hello?!..... (hello hello hello hello hello) echo! (echo echo echo echo echo!)

[@marybarkanic1988]

i lost my husband at 52 best moments of my life.

[@pascalvitali7646]

Get up

[@Ollay245]

@UAflightcrew Ha what is your problem? it's all about being an individual, dreads ARE awesome. Also there is nothing wrong with my spelling OR punctuality. Sleep tight sheep boy x

[@JorisBlanken]

poorly less people know jonh =( if i look at the commends people post once a month.

[@Ollay245]

@UAflightcrew Dreads are awesome - besides who actually follows fasion? it's for sheep, are you a sheep? baaa?

[@codythompson23]

@UAflightcrew he has cut them off, just saying.

[@bobbyfuerto]

This band is amazing, I really like them. But... For some reason, I ONLY appreciate Coheed & Cambria right now, I can barely listen to other music (if its rock, I can still listen to rap because.. Well there's not a LOT of talent to appreciate) so guys help me out, coheeds my favorite band (7 Co&Ca tattoos) but I gotta listen to other music. Anyone ever been thru this? Help me out.

[@5h4ggyDr34d]

@dontwant2forget9 I like him with his dreads. I think he is growing em back though. I saw a recent photo and his hair is getting long

[@DjDeem0n]

@ArFeeDee F# .... possibly ....

[@charlotterees1814]

[@RosannaHolbrook]

Im very respectful of your country songs coming from your heart broken by your wife Mama jin

[@sethman75]

How the hell isn't this kind of music promoted while trash like Meghan Trainor is imposed on us day in and day out. Who would have though real people like real music and artists that can actually play real instruments.

[@JDaSonOfVoorhees]

All though i have no idea who "Meghan Trainor" is i do agree with you about promoting this kind of music instead of the garbage that is out now!!

[@DavinMac]

@UAflightcrew fail

[@runningtimelabs]

wack
