OTS: "In Your Atmosphere" - A JM Cover

"I'd die if I saw you... I'd die if I didn't see you."
This is, in my opinion, John Mayer's best work. Music and lyrics. Concept and execution. Brilliant.
Apologies for the slip-ups, this take is far from perfect, but I CERTAINLY felt the weight of what this song was written about... I almost didn't almost-cry.
Almost.
Powerful stuff.
Hope you enjoy!
Peace, love and lol. Love y'all.

[@gabebondoc]

I'm gonna redo this. But this time, with a haircut.

[@Anzyanz]

Between you redoing this and Neon, my 2021 will be made.

[@melgonzales4004]

Totally by chance that I rediscovered this cover again, and I am absolutely psyched lol

[@jimjams8066]

Yes!!

[@moralesena]

YES PLEASE 💖💖💖

[@jeremykennedy8402]

Can't wait!

[@jackanoryboy93]

"One... Two... Seven... Uh..."

[@le-math9247]

Jack Dunne lol

[@drfdwf392]

When you trynna be cool you forgot how to count. Hahaha great cover though.

[@asmit_plays]

It's from Mayer's as/is Neon performance

[@HannaG123]

It's so difficult to cover John Mayer; his sultry vocals and impeccable playing are nearly impossible to replicate. You, sir, did a fantastic job making one of my absolute favorite Mayer songs into your own gorgeous work. I can't even count how many times I've listened! The fact that you're completely adorable helps a little too. :)

[@joseduenas4946]

Hanna Lynn Gentile now kiss

[@maxmustermann2931]

In my opinion a cover of a song is not about replicating oder perfectly copying the „Original“ Version , it‘s more about how you interpretate it and make it somehow your own song for the moment :) Anyways great job dude!

[@pepperjanehq]

Yes 👌😍

[@pepperjanehq]

Max Mustermann well I hope you adjudicate on some of my covers one day when I get around to posting 🙈🙈 cos I agree 👌

[@mattfranklin9795]

I feel the same about this being John Mayer's best material all around. it just has the un-explainable it factor and emotion attached it. But you killed this cover man, not only did you capture the essence of the song, but you made it your own and i could listen all day long my dude

[@isadorasimoes20]

I'm 13, and the minute I hear this song and it applies to someone, I'll know that I truly love them

[@pepperjanehq]

Amen

[@earlprinsloo9632]

Hey Gabe. You should redo this in 2018 and add in "wherever i go". it'll be amazing. this alone is outstanding already!

[@enjoiabletaco]

i support this

[@JackPronto]

I think its the best part of the song... sad it wasnt there..

[@connorgreen7219]

Yeah I would love to hear it as well but vocals are a lot more difficult than the rest of the song but I have no doubt he could do it just as well :)

[@brunomillalaf8553]

It’s the best part but the hardest chords out of the whole song. I was hoping to see it played too lol.

[@GitaSavitriDevi]

i'm listening to this over and over again.

[@gdeputuguido3108]

kak gitaaa

[@ilmupengetahuan223]

Wahh kak gita

[@BraziBros]

2017 and this is still fire.

[@saradtomlinson764]

2020. Same.

[@Kingx90]

Almosttt 2021 and yep, still 🔥

[@ricoxavier1858]

2022 here

[@DilshanPieris]

One of the few KZbinrs who can cover John Mayer. Talent aside, Gabe just has the right sounding voice to do justice to a John Mayer song

[@ararivadeneira7012]

2019. I’m still “in your atmosphere.”

[@dislikebutton69]

Gabe Bondoc. Definitely one of youtube's best hidden gems

[@willegard2]

+Jomell Navales "Hidden" And yet here we are!

[@geoffizhere1]

[@ragazph643]

Absolutely. But Not the "Alo"(hello) and 1,2,7,9 Thing. quite annoying.. Peace

"Wherever I go, whatever I do I wonder where I am in my relationship to you Wherever you go, wherever you are I watch that pretty life play out in pictures from afar."

[@lynnguyennn]

You guys don't even understand how many times I've listened to this. Sigh

[@TheVincentism]

One of my favorite :)

[@andrewboaz9824]

Easily one of the best covers in general that i've ever heard. That was MOVING to listen to. Incredible all the way through. Great job, man.

[@AshwinAdwani]

Been listening to this cover for almost 5 years now. Gold 💙

[@erholland90]

This had just the right combination of a John Mayer vibe AND uniqueness. I could listen to this over and over.

[@mizzwfo1198]

Mannnn... You did that!! John Mayer is my favorite artist - and I seriously wasn't expecting to even 'kinda' like this cover... Pleasantly surprised! I'm definitely gonna check into you - hope to find more greatness!! I love this cover!!

[@BlasterJunos]

Gabe has by far the best JM covers...

[@crystalfuemmeler143]

You have such control of your voice. You are very talent. I just fell inlove with your voice when you started to sing.

[@JordanSleed]

Don't know how I'm only just finding this. You're absolutely right about how this is some of JM's best work. Incredibly soulful cover, Gabe. This gave me chills just like the WTLI version does.

[@loganforsberg5097]

11 years later and I'm still listening to this. Thank you.

[@TheRoseMusicBoxx]

2015 and still loving this.

[@mnqromero13]

2016! Love him

[@SamanthaMacariola]

2017 and still loving him

[@Gunny_K]

2018 and... wait

[@LoverOfSpace777]

Dude! That is by far the best Mayer cover I've ever heard. Write man. . . You'll be a star!!!

[@robertomelgar758]

You've got a gift man! Keep playing! Please! don't let this pop stars ruin music for us. Thanks

[@CarloAnton]

i miss seeing you post new videos Gabe. But re-watching your old videos makes up for it. This one just got me in my feels right now. lol

[@jadestone1893]

3:39 is absolutely bone-chilling.

[@JonnyZye]

It is...but listen to the Original. Goosebumps ALL the way through

[@jadestone1893]

oh, for sure. John Mayer is great.

[@ReipubliKa]

I found this cover in 2011, I was a huge fan of your job (I’m still), but this one is very special because this is how I discovered John Mayer and fell in love with his music ❤️ I enjoy your cover of JM as much as the original. I wish you could do more videos ... Thanks Gabe for sharing your talent with us

[@neaituppi7306]

Pretty fucking good, dude.

[@joeldancaz]

The dynamics in this song are incredible. Wow, so much emotion.

[@phats1231]

you messed up....just smiled and played along......awesome bro :D

[@nchun]

I think I already commented on this video....but everytime I re-watch it I'm completely blown away and can't help but say something! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

[@morthnamemry]

omg his face at around 2:11 when he says "i dont think im gonna go to LA anymore" :')

[@timmyscore]

I really appreciate how your OTS's are exactly what they are...One take sessions. None of this fake, processed music crap that I see all over KZbin. You know music, and you know how to get that across to all your viewers. So again, thank you Gabe, I'm glad there's at least one person out there who is like you.

[@funkedafied143]

2023 and I’m still here

[@Cristhian_Garco]

2024

[@projectfinance]

I think I like this more than the WTLI recording. So good haha you killed this!

[@PirateReclusive]

Yeah man, you totally nailed it . . . Good 4 U!

[@WadeSmithAcoustic]

Dude, this tops the best cover of this song, ever.

[@rayjohnz]

Where are you now, Gabe??? Miss you and your amazing covers, man. :(

[@kodaimaimisosoup189]

You have no idea how much this song means to me, and you've just made it that much more special for me. I learnt how to play this recently myself, and though it's been an all-time favourite, I finally felt the lyrics.

[@herculhesebol3237]

Every guy's wish is to have this kind of voice.

[@ShaLaylaJ]

Been following you for about three yrs now; I really appreciate your work, love your style and I can def say you are getting stronger and stronger vocally. I hear your continual evolution with every song...your passion is beautiful.

[@xtianwenraey]

"Hello uhh this is the original song that John Mayer made a cover called in your atmosphere"

[@sophiacstaley]

"I'd die if I saw you...I'd die if I didn't see you" that lyric gets me every time

[@Setheks]

Great f*cking voice. Great job.

[@chakrapower12]

This has to be one of john's greatest songs its just perfect, "wherever I go, whatever I do I'll wonder where I am in my relationship to you, whatever you do, wherever you are, I'll watch that pretty life play out from pictures from a far" great cover bud! did this song proud

[@marcussmith2006]

I liked before he even started playing.. lol am i the only one :) Love this guy!

[@LexRule]

Artists like You & John Mayer are the reason why I want to continue trying to be a musician. I feel your passion through every cover you put out & I don't know how you do it one take but you're amazing, as always. Keep it up, Gabe! Do more of his songs please, your Mayer covers are the best ones on youtube.

[@Mishy82193]

would you ever play the Wherever I Go part?! :D

[@Bsaej]

AMAZING! You killed it. I think i just listened to the song about 50 times. Thanks for such a great cover

[@Tids_]

If john Mayer and Bruce Lee had a baby.. they'd be happy parents.

[@jennadancer7]

This is so amazingly wonderful that I don't even know what to do. This is brilliant. I can't even.

[@spyrodiousentertainment5978]

[@samibanez8502]

This is the only cover I found that does this song any justice. and this song is incredibly difficult btw, beautiful.

[@aikob7666]

[@JoshMcDonough]

[@silentguitar18]

EXCELLENT work man.......this was brilliant...good guitar work...good voice control......and excellent calm flow

[@hawknelsonlover12]

Honestly Gabe, i've been listening to you for forever. And i've loved everything I've heard from you. but this is by far my favorite piece of cover music you have ever released. i am absolutley in love with this song. -3

[@ChoLfINz]

Been in love with this since the day it's been posted... ahhh

[@johannaem92]

this is my all time favorite john mayer song. i heard this song a bit after where the light is came out and haven't stopped listening to it since. thank you for a wonderful cover :)

[@dylandog1289]

To this day this is one of the very few covers that lets this song breathe. You have to absolutely believe it as you play/sing, or it just falls apart. Cheers.

[@thewonus]

couldn't agree more. i hadn't heard this song until a few months ago, and i've always been a big john mayer fan. as soon as i heard it, i was hooked. such a good song

[@Moriselmago112]

I love the "Where the light is-" john mayer- hair lol AWESOME COVER!!! Outro?????????

[@DPMaintenance]

Dude your amazing! This is my favourite concert in the world and I have seen other covers and you are by far the BEST your vocals are beautiful - thank you Love it! Your amazing!

[@ladysayuri21]

I'm completely agree with you AJM! Oh my god I love your cover but over all the way you understand this marvelous song. . . that line is my favorite too... it resumes everything. yeah, I could feel was & why that song was written about. yeah, best John Maye's work music, lyrics and execution as you said. Love your opinion. I could hear this till the end. Because I'd die if I saw you & I die if I didn't see you there....

[@markustheaters]

i feel how you feel.. my heart aches a little when i hear this. music is amazing

[@toddwangwc]

This is by far your most brilliant cover

[@nyghthawk00]

There's one thing to sing a cover by an artist and another to imitate, and he's imitating, clearly.

[@Jochiew]

You're amazing! This is the BEST cover of this song on KZbin.

[@aznminhtran]

This guy can just take any song and make it seem like it is his original. Too good !

[@creindal15]

I'm speechless. I honestly cried. Most beautiful thing I've ever heard. You have a gift. Wonderful, wonderful job.

[@leahdeben]

Wow I'm so happy this is getting the positive feedback it deserves. You are awesome gabe!

[@C_Squared91]

Went searching for the real thing - found something even better. You've earned a subscriber, friend.

[@kimaquino5454]

2020 and i still go back to this cover. I grew up listening to you Gabe

[@dyinangelstorment]

All time FAVORITE JM song.. its a shame that it isnt a recorded song of his.. only live.. but it gave me chills!! Thank you so much, for doing such an amazing work of art such justice!!

[@richardharris8745]

[@HalfMusician]

[@FalseOptimism]

This is one of my favourite songs, defiantly the best john mayer one, and you doing it is just a collision of brilliance (:

[@uahjustin]

Dude you NAILED this.

[@michalflashomichalko]

Absolutely best cover of this song on the whole youtube..

[@facosta81]

I don't get why people hating on gabe bc he doing jm covers...he is probably one of the few that can pull it off, just watched jm version and yes no one does it better, but if y'all read gabes discription it does says he messes up a bit...but overall best cover of this song on KZbin

[@jazzminmatthews3682]

i love this cover, this song is so beautiful i wanted to cry when i herd the song ,i love john mayer

[@aurelius903]

I am a JM fan but i have to say that I loved this even more than the original. Absolute perfection.

[@kyudooooo]

Even tuning for this song is ridiculous! Good job, Gabe!

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

Gabe never disappoints. Never. Pure genius.

[@kedmondson1970]

Seriously I would buy your record. I'm a huge John Mayer fan and watch a lot of people doing covers but you're amazing!

[@SchmickPhotography]

Ok, i would never normally say this, cause John Mayer is amazing, but bro, u totally kicked this song out of the park! Incredible!

[@ph0okyu]

[@brinhaa]

[@Wednesday13dk]

Wow! One of the best Mayer covers on youtube! Love your voice, so powerful and emotional.

[@stowe2546]

I agree this is some of his best work. Really excited for his new album though, the tunes he's playing off of it live sound like something really new and exciting.

[@adobongsitaw175]

Hey gabe. It has been years but i still listen to your covers, IT IS THAT GOOD.
