John Mayer - Making of "New Light" for IGTV

[@Buildosaurus]

I wanna see the making of the music video XD

[@supraxtrem]

I honestly thought this was the behind the scenes on the videoclip haha

[@MrBabydove]

KZbin Hot Dad. Ctrl+C, Ctl+V.

[@jung_____1]

I'm pretty sure that is not that much different from original MV :)

[@suryakumars]

It's probably just one guy fiddling with Microsoft Paint.

[@RyankuNS]

yeah yeah me too!!

[@Emezie]

This is really interesting. Love hearing the creative process for artists' work.And, I love how Prince's guitar is described like a living, self aware, mythical creature. "It just...showed up."

[@amaihito]

It's amazing to see you here, i love your work

[@judgedredd1399]

It didn't just show up. John's people spoke to princes, about his new songs 80s vibe. Enter guitar.

[@lauens]

Emezie Okorafor lmao John Mayer talks in 3rd person

[@derlykari]

❤

[@ChrisPunsalanTV]

I would pay lots of money to see these kinds of videos weekly or monthly

[@sukienglish2037]

ChrisPunsalanTV I would to if I had the money, but unfortunately some of us folks don't

[@muhammadsatriabudiutama1483]

Just go to mixwiththemaster. >$400 for watching. But its worth

[@firstlast5289]

ChrisPunsalanTV Same! Love this! 😃

[@TartarianTopG]

ChrisPunsalanTV piptiglectictiplict

[@Geohworks]

Agreed. Kinda like how you do it.

[@Ahmedeooo]

We actually watched this video for FREE?!

[@beatsupremedjs1365]

right, this is gold. So thankful John put this out.

[@JL-ji8ez]

Great comment !!!

[@jeffo466]

Love artists who are also production nerds and super into the process like this.

[@aboyzeroeight]

You got my mind converts into words while watching his video. John Mayer is one hell of a real musician out there. Kudos!

[@cynthiatorres7520]

"princetastic" is by far the best word I have heard all day.

[@UzaPch]

He is 40 but he has such a great hair. I just really admire his hair. Oh, and I love this MV so much.

[@engel2827]

Usaza Boonyakanjanapon though the same

[@mainakdebmandal1960]

I admire the picks he uses while playing

[@thomas5]

6:25 Absolute genius from Mayer right there, that is why he's the GOAT.

[@GhostCorpsYT]

Wow, this really made me look at this song in a New Light

[@cgasieni]

You can tell he is so happy, passionate, and proud of this song. Very happy feeling to watch someone in bliss. Beautiful job all around :)

[@samizzy]

John is a great teacher so this is incredible for songwriters. I would do anything to see John breaking down and explain the process behind his other songs. Even other songs that he just enjoys. Just explaining the little things in the production and the writing of it. That would be so dope.

[@makeshift_battlefield_music]

Izzy totally agree

[@LucaAnamaria]

Omg yes yes yes! That would be awesome.

[@loldoctor]

Look up his instagram live videos, many of them are on KZbin. Sometimes he does talk about writing and how he wrote certain songs or parts

[@angelvillalta8561]

incredible for songwriters music producers and music lovers!!!!

[@samizzy]

Michael Ian Ross ya I’ve seen is insta lives their awesome but seeing him alone in the studio heavily involved like this is and breaking it down is amazing and I really wanna see it more.

[@kimberlykairo]

John Mayer is the most sharing and caring master artist, musician and man everr. I love it

[@lunarstella8486]

*PREMIUM CONTENT*

[@nk8881]

This explains why the song amazes me from the first second to the last every time I listen to it. New Light is one of my all time favorite songs, because it is so unique and yet simple, carefree. ❤️

[@mr.victor430]

Who else is excited John posted this today?

[@makeshift_battlefield_music]

It made my day!

[@愚かなろくでなし-x1c]

Meee my wife swipe it on my notification then I told her, it's John Mayer why did you do that hahaha

[@celineloveslight2085]

john's name should be : John Joy! he gives out so much Joy, for free!!!!

[@RashidaLeeLa]

Mr. Mayer... this is why... I love your musical soul.

[@Pinxezapinxada]

Being so humble makes him so loveable!!!. And of course, he is also a great musician

[@adanacman666]

Man can you imagine the stories that could be told for ALL those great songs of the last 60 years....It would be the only show I would watch forever.......

[@FAonYoutube]

The initial loop (0:48) is what I like the most in this song, I think it's amazing. Especially the more high-pitched notes in it, they punctuate the song so well.

[@907alphaprime7]

More artist need to start doing this feeling the story and telling what their meaning behind it is. So cool John Mayer thank you bro

[@TerryLynnMercer]

Thank god for original singer/songwriters. You feel the genuine creativity in the music 💆🏼‍♀️

[@leeluvsu]

This is song makes me so happy like- there’s just something about it that makes me smile

[@robbc1]

Please John Memer... Now we need the making of new light's VIDEO... 👏👏👏😂😂😂

[@johnweak628]

He is like the deadpool of music videos now :p

[@solarkitty8139]

I love this song its one of my favorite john mayer songs of all time :) Awesome to see him explain it like this

[@myyoutube4280]

Thankyou John. Loved seeing it earlier on Instagram. So interesting and LOVE that you got to use Prince’s guitar- what an honour 👏❤️

[@Joske369]

i could listen to the song all day and still not get tired of it

[@magdadebek7624]

By now this song is like my best friend , like my everyday dose of good feelings 👌

I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HOW HE BREAKS DOWN HIS SONS. I WANNA SEE MORE!

[@538-y6j]

John Mayer is so talented!

[@terrismith6332]

He has to be one of the most self actualized pepple on the planet. It is awesome to see. Mayertastic.

[@tobyryberg]

I want more like this! You killed it, John!

[@calebovich]

Toby Ryberg Dude, you look like Tai Lopez!

[@kennbeb]

after a few years, this is still one of my top favorite songs

[@meshanne]

open prince clap at how princetastic this song is 👏👏👏👏 💜💜💜💜💜

[@Marrie418]

I seriously can't stop hearing this song. Is something fresh to hear. My freakin summer jam.

[@williamalford4248]

It's awesome that we still have people like JCM with the musical genius necessary to make others appreciate the nuances and complexity involved in writing and recording real music. John is truly right up there with Dylan, Springsteen and Clapton.

[@Sirshort123]

This is fantastic. John is still the man. So good. True artist.

[@coldtink93]

This was great. Now a behind the scenes of that wonky music video 😂

[@charliemen9512]

YES I’M STILL WAITING ON IT 💀

[@losangelesdecharlie8443]

Crei que eso iban a mostrar y no esto, que decepcion

[@adamleesonmusic2938]

If I hear this song .. I can’t get it out of my head for days 😂 just makes me want to boogie 🧡

[@brandoncole5469]

I absolutely love when we can see behind the curtain on different projects like this. The conception of “In Repair” and even the artwork for the cover of Born and Raised make you appreciation all aspects that brings good music to life.

[@amaurygorlier6461]

New light seems so simple but everything in it is perfect, a true masterpiece.

[@FrizzyFritzi]

That portrait mode is making me anxious. I hate it. On another note this is so interesting to watch

[@Cxdydyer]

FrizzyFritzi its portait mode bc he made it for igtv, and reposted it here

[@FrizzyFritzi]

cody dyer Yeah I know. Doesn't change the fact that it sucks though :D

[@ndhyn14]

It’s very satisfying on mobile though 😭

[@junaidkhanation]

This song made me love with John Mayer

[@Cclearly9]

The way JM describes the making of this song is like he’s intricately describing how he baked a decadent piece of moist chocolate cake. My goodness, 😍

[@gusbusterblue]

4 years later and I'm just discovering this wonderful song! Thanks so much for the behind the song experience! Love it!

[@mcmire]

I LOVE the turnaround. It's SO simple, all you're really doing is using one more chord in there, the bass is walking up essentially.... but it's so different that it catches you and pulls you into the song. It's definitely my favorite moment.

[@kheillustrations4354]

I LOVE YOU JOHN!!!!!!!

[@RajeshYadav-in1do]

He gave us the chill track of the decade! Legend.

[@AlexGordillo101]

For sure one of my favorite songs

[@sparkofedge]

what a creative genius. my mind is blown. wish one day I could chat with him and discuss his creativity. honestly.

[@leachristine5264]

New Light has been my fave song for years now :D its so cool to see how it was made!

[@Shendowa]

Prince's guitar is in this song... I knew all the purple signified something glorious.

[@shalondahaynes7891]

You are an artist, poet and a teacher, John. I love how you're always sharing your musical knowledge with your fans.

[@Pippi-rippi]

I love when he explains and goes through creations. I really like hearing what goes through his head and how everything works for him. Absolute inspiration.

[@TheMisteryvampire]

This song is a BLESSING

[@katvassos]

I love this video and song, I heard this song one day and I fell in love with it instantly. I listen to it when I’m not having a good day and even when I just want to listen to it for no exact reason (which is almost everyday). The song just blends together so peacefully (especially the “ah,ah,ah,ah,ahhh” part! I usually NEVER sing out loud but when I hear this song, I have no choice but to sing my heart out. Long story short, what I’m trying to explain is that I’m obsessed with this song and it’s for sure one of your best ones yet! THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS MASTERPIECE JOHN 🙏

[@InesLudovico]

I long to find something in my life that makes me feel as excited as John does when talking about making music ❤

[@Violetcas97]

This is so interesting! John Mayer proves once again that he is the man

[@BrandonPetrucci]

I LOves You John Mayer!!! I'm an old deadhead who loved you even before you found Jerry, all the way back to 'Heavier Things"...Love love love you Bro...

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

Love to see the nuts and bolts of the way you create your wonderful music. Even though I’m only a hobbyist when it comes to my music, this helps me to expand. Thank you, John Mayer.

[@andrewhopliterowe3409]

I loooove this song from the first time I heard it

[@yeoma7642]

I am still so in love with this song. Thank you for making such a vibe 🥰🥰

[@heidiangel5904]

John Mayer ist ein großartiger Künstler, ich liebe seine ganze Art wie er sich gibt... Er ist ein Megastar, aber er kommt rüber wie einer von uns, er ist kein bißchen arrogant... Ein wunderbarer Mann.. I Love you John.. 💞💞💞

[@Mimimph]

John, I love "New Light" too, so it's really fun having you take us through each aspect of creating the finished song. It's fascinating; some of it above my head; always interesting to hear you talk about your creative process while you demonstrate. I also love that you mixed the new with the familiar, so to speak, co-producing a song with No I.D. for the first time and bringing in Aaron Sterling on drums and Pino Palladino on bass. Congrats, Johnny! It's the perfect Summer Sizzler! 💜 💫 ✨ 💗

[@Muki992]

Cutie pie loved the vibes of the song and of course the vibes of the creation of it!!!!

[@joey.h14]

It’s so weird to me that princes guitar just appeared, but at the same time, I believe it. I believe it a lot.

[@ProcureJustice]

Beautiful....now I understand all the purple this song is one of my favorites

[@NickGulan]

You have a way of making everything look simple and that's what makes it so inspiring! Love your work thanks for all you do
