The "
Waiting on the World to Change" video, shot in grainy black and white, was directed by Philip Andelman and features Mayer walking along the East River while commissioned graffiti artists Futura, Tats Cru, and Daze, spray paint messages relating to the song's content on New York City billboards.
The Waiting on the World to Change video is as powerful a statement about social disillusionment and discontentment as the song itself and sweeps you up in the feeling that if young people speak their minds, change is possible. Let's hope Mayer enhances all of his songs with videos as stark, yet moving and hopeful as this one.
