I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been coming back to this video for 10 years now and it’s still as phenomenal as it was the first time listening(with or without MDMA 😂)The guitar is truly an extension of this mans body

Heard him play this song live one very hot summer night in Seattle at the Paramount Theater at the very very top last seat of 2807th seat with my Brother and it was one of the best nights in memory. Everything was just perfect. Well my Brother passed away 10 years ago. Everytime I listen to this song now, I'm right back there on that stufy hot Summer night and it brings a big smile to my face. RIP Bro 💙

I'll never forget the emotion that overcame me listening to this for the first time; words cannot even begin to explain it. Now a couple of years and hundreds of views the emotion is the same and the way of explaining such emotion still remains a mystery to me. God bless you John Butler.

@benholcomb4831 9 лет назад

Anyone can learn to play the guitar... Few people have the gift to create something like that. Ridiculously talented musician.

@colinmacmaster5233 7 лет назад

Quote from John Butler, paraphrased a bit since I can't find the original: "I used to think I was a player, but that wasn't necessarily true. There's me, there's the guitar, and then there is something else that plays it." I've never been able to put that feeling into words quite so well until I heard that phrase.

Been listening to John Butler for a long time now and i've heard many versions of Ocean, and I still think this one is the best. Too bad that I have no clear memory of the only time i saw him play it right in front of me, because i got seriously high by the music, it was more intense than a mushroom trip or shit alike, i'm serious

Love this riff.. One of my fav musical compositions, it's like Mozart if Mozart was alive and had a guitar in his paws. Feels like he's playing the song of his life, where he has these high moments, contemplative moments of reflection, then like he dials in his learnings for an expert and exquisite finish, i like it! so much talent here!

@charwest5892 2 года назад

This song is a favorite of those in higher realms, everytime I am drawn back here I am reminded of the feeling of hearing it the first time. This is a rare feat and if you are eternal then you would prefer to have something with some replayability.

It's an amazing trip, this song :)

I put my guitar into a corner and left it there for about three months after hearing this lol. I then looked at a tutorial somewhere on the net and tried to learn it. The guitar is now back in the corner. Brilliantly natural, pure musician. By the way I was only joking about the guitar in the corner. It actually inspired me to buy a second twelve string . Really Enjoy this guy. I was only told he played in my home town before. Pity I was too ignorant of music at the time

If I could listen to only one song for the rest of my life it would be this song. I know he changes it each time but that's part of the beauty of it. He takes me on such an emotional journey, ebbing and waning like the waves of the ocean. The energy and tension build gradually, higher and higher, leading to an explosion of pure joy. Then he carries me softly back down and lays me to rest in the ripples of a quiet tidal pool. I cry every time and it always feels... cathartic. Therapeutic. Call it what you like, but this song heals. What a gift to give the world!

Its amazing to see, hear and feel.
