1
John Mayer is a seven -time
2
Grammy winner, a multi -platinum selling artist, and a prodigious guitarist who's played with everyone from Eric Clapton to Ed Sheeran.
3
But in recent years, you might know him better for making headlines than for making music.
4
From tabloid -ready falls in and out of love with famous women to a notorious tell -all Playboy interview.
5
Then, he disappeared from the spotlight, avoiding social media and interviews and building a quieter life in Montana.
6
I caught up with him in L .A as he works on a new,
7
deeply personal album and tries to put the focus back on his very first love.
8
When I discovered the guitar when I was 13, all of the creative energy went into that.
9
So I was sitting in class writing lyrics.
10
I was in math class on one of those uneven desks, writing lyrics.
11
One story that's out there is that
12
Back to the Future was the genesis of the guitar idea.
13
That was the big
14
Rocky moment for a lot of kids who were into music.
15
And that for me was like the moment the nerd gets revenge, right?
16
Like, who is this nerdy Marty McFly kid and then he gets to play basically...
17
Blowing people's minds.
18
Yeah, blowing people's minds.
19
Which is a child fantasy, being the quiet kid in the room all of a sudden plugs in and plays.
20
Were you an outsider?
21
Were you popular?
22
That's a good question.
23
I had created this alter ego which was, by day, this sort of mild -mannered kid kid who nobody really saw
24
and then by night I would be in a room listening to Charlie Parker
25
and John Coltrane and Freddie King and and Jimi Hendrix
26
and Eric Clapton and I was playing along with CDs and then I went to school and
27
it's very difficult but then you ultimately got to do
28
that you pursued
29
that as an adult it happened really fast for me really really fast by 2000 I I signed my record deal.
30
2001, record came out.
31
Roof or squares.
32
Yeah, yeah.
33
Body is Wonderland is everywhere.
34
Radio loves you.
35
Runaway.
36
You're transformed.
37
Yeah.
38
What's that experience like?
39
It's just a rocket ride.
40
Were you ready for it?
41
Yeah, I was ready for it.
42
Everything that happened was, it made perfect sense to a guy like me.
43
If you'd asked somebody from Fairfield, Connecticut, what do you think's gonna happen to John?
44
So you go, oh yeah.
45
Yeah, absolutely.
46
He was going to hit it so hard that at first people were going to go,
47
great job, and he was never going to stop until he went off the rails.
48
I think you went off the rails, though.
49
You used that term.
50
In my way, based on what my payload was, I didn't have a drinking problem.
51
I wasn't...
52
It was a thinking man's...
53
It was a thinking man's fiasco, right?
54
It was like...
55
And it's a lot harder to explain to somebody.
56
When you're 23, three, and you begin your life at the top of the chart, and you've got that spunk,
57
and you go bring on the world, and you go, okay, here's a Grammy, and here's an audience, and you got it.
58
Now, when you invariably do find out that not everything you touch turns to gold, you've got a choice.
59
You either bleed out, or you tie off, right?
60
So what's the point at which you tied off?
61
I tied off after I went, all right, dude, you did a couple interviews where you were out of touch
62
and you were being a ham and you were basically breakdancing into a nitroglycerin plant, right?
63
Now you don't even have the chance that everybody's gonna love you ever again.
64
They handed me the Playboy interview before it came out and I knew that,
65
I knew, you could have sat down in front of me and said, John, that's not getting printed,
66
but I wanted you to know what would have happened had I not stopped that interview.
67
But do you think they shouldn't have printed that?
68
No!
69
I do think they should have printed it.
70
You just think there's a place for that moment of mercy.
71
Well, you give it to yourself.
72
You give it to yourself.
73
You know, you gotta give it to yourself.
74
But, you know, um...
75
In that period of time, I would have rather killed myself than been killed.
76
I was never gonna wrap my Corvette around a tree.
77
My high -speed crash was an intellectual one.
78
What was the moment where you first thought,
79
Okay, this is not what I want to be known for oh man the first time somebody misunderstands you
80
and says you're a womanizer
81
You don't consider yourself a womanizer no no absolutely not but
82
when you're crafty and you're clever and you go well I'm just going to
83
Be as Strange as they think I am so okay now you're on TMZ
84
And you're playing into the role you're leaning into the role right?
85
And then you lose, number one, you're not playing music anymore.
86
Number two, you're not feeling anything honestly.
87
And number three, you're not saying anything honestly.
88
You once said you abused the ability to express yourself.
89
Oh, yeah.
90
What's different now?
91
Oh, I know what I want.
92
I don't care if this video gets 500 ,000 views or 50 ,000 views or 5 ,000 views.
93
I'm not out to affect that anymore.
94
That's for me to care about.
95
That's for you to care about, man.
96
Are you susceptible yourself to...
97
Wanting the Twitter feedback, wanting the approval?
98
Yeah, that's why I pull myself off of it again.
99
I'm a recovered ego addict, and the only way that I can be sure
100
that I don't relapse is to admit that I constantly have this ego addiction every day.
101
So I do the Grammys and I go home, because if I stayed, I'd get high again.
102
And then I'd get high, and then I'd get low.
103
High on the approval.
104
Well, yeah.
105
You've already looked through Twitter, Everybody goes, it's great.
106
And then you're low again because you can't stop looking, or you get low because you read the one negative thing.
107
So I'm a recovered ego addict.
108
Like, this is not the first outfit I put on today.
109
I'm admitting that because that's my AA for being an egomaniac.
110
Are you gonna check
111
Twitter after this interview?
112
I will not check
113
Twitter, but I checked the mirror, the original Twitter.
114
The mirror, I checked my mentions in the glass how has this changed since you broke
115
there's new technology now instant feedback now right the technology
116
that I think I'm I'm confident enough to say is hurting music is
117
that musicians are are very self -conscious now they're very self -aware I see people sing
118
and I go they're hoping they do okay and they're gonna find out
119
if they do okay they're looking for the feedback they're singing
120
They're just hoping that when they get in the car on the way to dinner,
121
their face is lit up and they're checking to see if they did okay.
122
I could go on a sermon if I wanted to, but I just don't know how old fart it would sound.
123
I just don't want to call BS on things that aren't for me.
124
You have two choices.
125
You can look at Sam Smith and you can say, you can be all cynical and go,
126
well, I knew sam smith when it was that because yeah
127
but they don't are you implying
128
that sam smith is trainer wheels for people who haven't heard
129
that no i don't i mean it but if you wanted to be cynical
130
you could listen to it and go oh i've heard that
131
when it was x y and z or something
132
and i'm kind of picking the guy out of a hat
133
because i like sam smith and i would use sam smith as an example for
134
so many great things i go oh well that they're doing that again like that's been done but you
135
You go, wait, don't hold your age against other people.
136
You know what I mean?
137
Because it's the first time they've ever gone da -da -da -ba -da -da -da -da.
138
And they go, wow, I've never heard someone sing like that.
139
You go, have it.
140
I want you to have it.
141
You think it's getting worse?
142
Yeah, because there's nobody to tell you what to do anymore.
143
Artists overthrew the record company heads, and the record company heads cannot tell an artist when to put a single up on their own,
144
you know, on their, you know, They put a clip of your song on Instagram, SoundCloud.
145
And they can say whatever they want.
146
And they can say whatever they want anytime they want.
147
There's no checks and balances.
148
And how's technology changing that?
149
When you look at, say, Taylor Swift coming out and saying, and I'm talking about Taylor Swift professionally here.
150
We have to be able to talk about Taylor Swift professionally.
151
We have to be able to talk about Taylor Swift.
152
So tell me about that.
153
When she comes out and says, I'm not putting it on Spotify.
154
Right.
155
That doesn't respect the artists and the writers enough.
156
I think that's cool.
157
I think that's really cool.
158
Uh, artists need the person with the loudest voice to speak for them, and...
159
Is she doing that?
160
I think so, when you say that.
161
You can go to the Met Ball.
162
You know, that's great.
163
That's a great way to use your voice.
164
You can go, I'm wearing Valentino.
165
Or you can use your voice to give things.
166
Well, now, some people that are cynical could say you're helping yourself, but it's trickle -down.
167
You're not saying I want this just for me.
168
I think that's a really cool thing for a musician to do.
169
Like, there's only, like, 2 % of the music industry has 80 % of all the media about it.
170
You know what I mean? there's like four people in the media who get all the press and
171
if any of those four people say
172
i want to speak for the other people who just would never make this a story the only reason
173
that we're talking about taylor swift taking spotify on is
174
because she's taylor swift and that's great you said you could do that
175
or you could go to the met gala yeah yeah i'm going to the met gala does it bother you
176
when you look at her or anyone else we're talking about in this conversation
177
and they've got that side of their public persona, too.
178
No!
179
Not at all.
180
Not at all.
181
Nothing bothers me anymore, man.
182
Do you still have that emotional reaction, though?
183
Yeah.
184
Taylor Swift, one of those four people.
185
I checked myself with it, but yeah.
186
Yeah.
187
There are gonna be times when I make music as popular or empirically valuable as that, in terms of making pop music,
188
that won't sell as many copies, and I'm fine with that.
189
You get to an age, you go, look, if I save a baby from a burning building and Kanye saves a baby from a burning building,
190
there's more Google News hits on Kanye.
191
I'm fine with it.
192
You and Kanye saving babies from buildings is a movie I want to see.
193
Now, together, this is what I'm trying to tell you, is together we're unstoppable.
194
But that's a great episode.
195
That's a new ER right there.
196
But all we're talking about is, like, um...
197
Being honest with yourself and what to ask for in this life.
198
I put out a song called Paper Doll.
199
The song never got listened to as a song.
200
It became a news story because of the lyrics.
201
But you must have known that that's what it was going to become when you wrote it.
202
I'm not in the business of telling people what the song's about.
203
I never said anything about it.
204
And now I just go, look, I can say the name Taylor Swift she's an artist, I'm an artist, let's just, everybody stop.
205
Nobody's got an incurable cancer.
206
We're rich people who get to live out our dreams.
207
Let's just stop it.
208
I'm a musician who's bigger than one song or one record.
209
So it's really more about the longevity of all the work that goes together.
210
And I'm just not interested in the things that won't last forever.
211
What have you found in Montana?
212
I just found home, man.
213
And it gives you outside perspective.
214
I'm going to have one wife, a certain number of children,
215
friends that are set, fans that will listen to the music that I make.
216
And the greatest moment for me was giving up the big fight.
217
The big fight to be this thing that gets off the airplane at LAX and floats through.
218
And I have a lot of admiration and envy sometimes for people that large.
219
I'll be standing by the front desk sometimes, being like, you know...
220
Anyone want to notice me?
221
Anybody want to notice me?
222
Is there a party that still wants to be One Direction?
223
Oh, that's such a good question.
224
Sure.
225
But it wants to be One Direction via Neil Young.
226
If you could say one thing to young John Mayer, say right before
227
Room for Squares, what's that message?
228
Just give him a hug, I guess.
229
There's nothing you could tell that kid.
230
There's nothing you could tell that kid.
231
I'd give him a hug, and then I'd go, this guy.
232
I'd say, that guy's really, really talented, but I don't want to be anywhere near him when that thing goes off.
233
You know what, this is what I would tell my young self.
234
You are now my young self.
235
What a handsome young me you are.
236
I'm trying.
237
There was never a shot.
238
There was never a shot of doing this perfectly.
239
It was never in the cards.
240
That's what I write people.
241
I wrote, I don't want to bring her into the conversation, but I wrote this new up -and -coming Australian rapper.
242
I don't want to give her name away, because there's so many of them, so she's hit.
243
And I said, this is it.
244
I said, don't be upset that you're feeling like you're just an inch away from having your cake here.
245
This is the new way it's going to be.
246
You're never going to do it seamlessly.
247
Success comes with hatred now.
248
Yeah, it just comes with, yeah, that's how we learn about things now.
249
And I write, hey, I'm John.
250
I just want to let you know that this feeling you're having, that you've become successful, but the world won't stop hating on you.
251
This is not a broken version of success.
252
This is the new version of success.
253
So we're doing this series on genius, and I promised you I would not put you in the position of describing yourself as a genius.
254
I think I've proven through this interview I am not a genius.
255
There's this other side you get to, and you don't get there very often.
256
I call it this other side, where while you're writing, you speak so much of your truth that you're even learning from it.
257
John Mayer it's like it's like a therapy session every time
258
I talk to you thank you man well for who is
259
that and now it's America's therapy session now it's America's that'll be three hundred
260
and twenty -five dollars insurance doesn't cover it

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | You've already looked · haven't heard · i've heard |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | been killed · be known · is lit |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | kids who were · ego which was · people who haven |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 106 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, you're, don't। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: bother /ˈbɑðɚ/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, overthrow /ˌoʊvɚˈθɹoʊ/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: musician /mjuˈzɪʃən/, conscious /ˈkɑn.ʃəs/, addiction /əˈdɪkˌʃən/, admiration /ˌæd.məˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: intellectual /ˌɪntəˈlɛkt͡ʃʊəl/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, notorious /nə(ʊ)ˈtɔː.ɹɪ.əs/, admiration /ˌæd.məˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, longevity /lɒnˈd͡ʒɛv.ɪ.ti/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: swift /swɪft/, recover /ɹɪˈkʌvɚ/, revenge /ɹəˈvɛnd͡ʒ/, clever /ˈklɛv.ɚ/, envy /ˈɛnvi/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: musician /mjuˈzɪʃən/, womanizer /ˈwʊm.əˌnaɪ.zəɹ/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: swift /swɪft/, spotlight /ˈspɒtˌlaɪt/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर lyrics, genius, feedback जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
