Jack Johnson - They Do They Dont

[Piitschii]

he reminds me so much of bob marley... they are both musical geniouses..

[brandon57olds]

SO the chords he uses are "G, (x4432x), Bm, Em, and A." The chorus is just G and A, he wraps his thumb and uses it as a base line on the E string while playing "A" during the chorus, barring the three strings with his pointer finger. Took me a while to figure out what he was doing exactly. That is why I love this guy so much, Incredible lyrics and a master when it comes to rhythm, I learn something new every time I cover a song of his.

[NAProductions1]

Honestly Jack sounds better live.

[Gingerwash]

I'm in love with his music...

[RobinBeh]

whats that instrument at 2:44 ? love this song.

[Emmanuels93]

@RobinBeh I think its a melodica

[CyberWallX]

i like the studioversion of this tune a little more, but its still cool

[juuli126]

he melts my heart

[MuseLatino]

THIS IS MUSIC. AND I LOVE MUSIC.

[pretzelbender5]

The thing about Jack Johnson's music is that it will never go out of style. I would be bold enough to say his style is as addicting as the Beatles.

[micxen]

I will neeveer forgive myself.. I missed Jack Johnson at Roskilde Festivalen 2010 because of a really bad hangover :( 

[Migas128]

time to study? NO!

time to chill and listen to jack johnson

[kwhs7]

@Migas128

More like time to study AND listen to jack johnson...

[Migas128]

@kwhs7 yeah true

[annelemaybourbeau]

someone who understand that music is more than what's actually on the radio. With lyrics that make sense

[jacksonhardenmusic]

One of the few artists who actually sounds good live.

[rockinredneck8]

theres no goin back to the good ol days, its just a phase, bring in some new love, archeaism is a dusty road leading us back to nowhere. first time i heard those lyrics i went so deep into my own soul that i almost couldnt get out. but then he kept singing and i chased his words to new emotions unfelt by any other piece of music. therefore i will stop calling this music, from now on I Declare Jack Johnson's art-of-mouth-and-string it's own level of consciousness. seriously, this is deep stuff

[alebrestandome]

This gay makes me horny!!! xD

[Migas128]

@alebrestandome ...well...some die...others stay like you...

[andreabaer1]

[CopperCab]

I love Jack Johnson, he has always performed great live.

[Aerrllanggaaa]

@CopperCab

amen!

[CalobTv]

Who could be a regular youtube arguer when music like this is playing :P

[THEKFJ]

@CalobTv I love watching these videos, and listening to this music. People just stop and arguing and take it easy for once in their day.

Nobody's writing in all caps and arguing which artist is better than which or trading childish insults, just sharing the sound =)

[RSAO94]

LOVE THIS SONG! :D

[010pepwin]

that's one of the better approaches I've seen on youtube really, I might just check some out : )

[gracecaroline]

Oh, Jack...

No matter how many times I listen to this, it always has the same affect on me. 'juzlian' said it right

[bojantomic88]

[RossiRippa]

[soxRtastey]

[thereanygoodnameleft]

@soxRtastey yeah, shallow music :l

[CyberWallX]

@thereanygoodnameleft sooooo true

[thereanygoodnameleft]

@CyberWallX :)

[Fallensk8r04]

[glitchystudios]

[4029grif]

this song makes me think i am watching a modern day bob dylan

[atticusfinch13]

WOW. that's the first time i've ever seen a political/national debate/argument on a jack johnson video. shame.

[gta363]

i can watch and listen to him play all day. so amazing.

[hybridchild0o]

purepolar we are a republic actually. A democracy is a nation or a people that vote all together on every issue. Not every bill or passage is voted by the people. We are a republic. Think of the pledge, And to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands...etc.

All that beside, why is everyone fighting? Love one another like brother and sister! Where does war and fighting get us? Its not needed. Love is all you need :)

[kiinder09]

Absolument magnifique  .

[shiftas2]

the truth is plain to see..serpents are the ones that hold our past...the brought us here throu genetic engeneerin, physical manifestation, un natural selection,,whatever you wna call it, the like he sed in this sng..the serpent sets the rules..and the forbidden fruit is oviously the luxury people think their getting at the price off paper stamped by the queen ha wake up time 2012 is nerli here!!

[itzbriantea]

we all die eventually so stfu you guys and experience the song.

[ArleyTheRed]

this is a music video, stop the shit about 9/11, FUCKING GREAT SONG :)

[kudafactor]

This song is so relaxing :)

[peachcockadoodle]

Hey is that Zach playing the Hose piano thingy? If it is HOLY SHIT! Zaach probebly knows how to play every instrument on this planet!

[summmmmmmmer2008]

ohman. i lovelovelove this song <3 I LOVE JACK JOHNSON(:

[summmmmmmmer2008]

whoawhoawhoa, what are you talking about!?

[Lordedargon]

people watch music videos for the music, not to see comments regarding terrorist attacks, to be honest i dont give a shit about 9/11 anymore, we've killed far more civilians in this war then they have

[Focoist911]

"we've killed far more civilians in this war then they have"

Who is WE? Who were THEY? You obviously still think muslims did 9/11 - no surprise. Obviously you never gave a shit about knowing what happened on 9/11 and why the western countries were dragged into killing innocent people against their will and against our will.

You dont live in any kind of democracy boy. Time you wake up one day. Its only getting worse. One World Government is a Eugenics plan to kill YOU and 80% of the world.

[Lordedargon]

we= western world

they= eastern world

perhaps youtube isnt the place for this sort of conversation, i'll send a private mesage

[Focoist911]

we= western world

they= eastern world

Oh I see, you mean like footy? Like a football fan? You're a fan of WE.

Listen buddy, an overhwhelming majority of westerners in every country were opposed to the invasion of Afghanistand and Iraq. But the dictators you call your elected officials, just went ahead and made war anyway, and constantly referring to and threatening the public with another 9/11 if they didn't go along with the mass rape and pillage of the middle-east.

[Lordedargon]

are you suggesting that war is like football?

look, i really could'nt give a shit if our government were planning to dictate us, all the more to them if they are, i couldnt give a shit if we're raping the middle east

[Focoist911]

"look, i really could'nt give a shit if our government were planning to dictate us, all the more to them if they are, i couldnt give a shit if we're raping the middle east"

Why? They are raping you too you know? a group of people in the last 12 months just printed 25 trillion US dollars and turned your constitution into a banana republic. Everyone in the world is diving to dump the US dollar.

But you dont get it right? The people doing this, sole intention to destroy the republic of the USA

[Lordedargon]

1st of all, im not american, second of all fuck off, 3rd of all, i just got back from a date, and yet you were wasting time talk,ing about consipiracies

[Focoist911]

"talk,ing about consipiracies - conspiracies? You mean when two or more people get together to commit a crime against the community?

I am sorry man, but I dont believe in conspiracies.

Heard that one before? Idiot. Did you suck her cunt? Was it sweet? Good for you.

[Lordedargon]

ja, go smoke another one, bub :)

nope, but she sucked my dick, and yes, yes it was :)

[shiftas2]

conspiracy is jus a made up word to hide the truth which is also a made up world,,,understanding is not written down, so when people tlk about conspiresies...theyre trying to interpret what theyre seeing into words..and its hard to put it in words because we have been taught lies from birth so to try use words that will make sense to some one else. and they rarely do so that means you half to see it for your self before you beleive it, or beleive it then youll see it(everywhere) pass try matrix!

[Focoist911]

Yeh but its not hard to put in words the basic fact that on 9/11 ISrael carried out a false-flag terrorist attack.

Anyway, nice song. Jack Johnson writes good stuff.

[Focoist911]

Lordedargon, you dont listen to the lyrics of this song above? I am trying to warn you. If you want to continue to be asleep then do so.

Listen man, you know when you have dreams that you woke up from your bed? But then something in you realises its a dream and then you force open your eyes which struggle against you?

Start here man, with the truth and face it: 9/11 was an Israeli Mossad false-flag operation. Muslims had nothing to do with it other than their being blamed falsely.

[purepolarisxc500]

your a idoit. how is america not a democracy we more freedom than anyone ya maybe we get a dumb ass like bush as pres. but still

[Focoist911]

I am an idiot? Look very close in the mirror tomorrow brother. You just got older.

[GODDAMNSASQUATCH]

Really, we are free? Think of one thing that is not government run or the gov't has interference, is there? Sure we can elect our politicians, but they lie to us to reach power. Look at how drug prohibition is handled, when is the government allowed to tell us what we can't put in our bodies? Because it is for our own good? Sound kind of Orwellian to me. In my state we can even hang things off of our rearview mirror, freedom? No, if we think that we are free we don't understand freedom.

[Chanbang18]

Well said! I never heard of not being able to hang things off the rear view mirrior... That is almost the stupid thing I have ever heard.

You are FREE to do as we tell you!!!!1

[blakeschickenshack]

"your an idiot."

Oh, the irony!

[atomi62]

He is simply amazing

[joaninhamra]

he is the best

[pbfoley]

Anyone know the chords for this?

[rigglypuffers]

yea... watch the video.. the camera is on his hand like the whole time.... those are the chords

[babukuka]

jack johnson hat so eine wundervolle, beruhigende stimme *schwärm*

das ist wunderbar zum nachdenken oder für eine ruhige minute, wenn man traurig ist....ich liebe seine musik!!!

[atomi62]

Genau :-)!

[Jijwel1234]

(L)

[NorthEppingAnglican]

archaism is a dusty road leading nowhere ... it's taken me a while to try to understand what he's saying here in the context of the whole song. Is this line sarcastic? Is he singing about progress, and how rather than making things better, it's actually ruining the planet?

[DukeLiveTheFear]

all that line aka this whole song is trying to say that society is a double negative and that line in particular is saying that if we continue trying to push this onto ourselfs its goin to go no where...lol best i can explain it is like this....if a tree in falls in the woods does anyone here it ?.....if 20,000 people die a day.....does anyone care about it ? see my point xD yes no maybe i hope so

[Focoist911]

Duke, it sounds like he still loves you even if you are stupid.

Never watched doco on video google called BBC THE WAR PARTY? What about "The Century of Self".

How about some more man? Are you listening yet?

[snowgrett14]

he has such a strong hold on what's really happening in society, such a genius!

He could without a doubt be in the same league as Bob Dylan in the meaning of his words.

[lester289]

I totally agree with you. And i´m a really big fan of both of them!

I saw somewhere that Jack has read(or sung) "Last thoughts on Woody Guthrie". That would be nice to hear/see!

[snowgrett14]

Yeah! I agree with you there! I love Woody Guthrie, and I know that Jack Johnson would do good by his music and talent.

[wilfke]

Man this man can sing Right to your soul

[Anthonylp2]

His songs are so heart-felt

[dancehallmusic]

he's a genius!

[Atsiknoudas]

thatd be cool do it

[jfootballer]

Can anybody figure out the chord progression for this song???

For the verse I have:

Some chord, 023440, Bm (root-5), then Em (open).

And the chorus:

G and A (Open)

Any thoughts?

[carlose0318]

you probably have it by now, but if not, the chords are: G# then G, C minor (at the 3rd fret), F minor (at the 8th fret)A#, then A for like only one note, then back to G# and start over. in this video he does it half a step down, but if u play w/ the chords i said in the album version of this song, it should be rite...hope i helped for once....

[jfootballer]

Awesome, thanks so much.

[RedandWhite91]

yeah you got it

[FProductions]

i actually wanna be this guy...

[tLoveDaSurfdawg08]

just be yourself and acquire his music instead. save you the hassle. :)

[FProductions]

fuck that... effort :)

[Bugow]

so be it!Do what you can to make the world a better place to live.

[FProductions]

wise words

[pauloperotto83]

Gênio.

[erwtje2]

[JoLewis26]

[samwizethebrave]

[Duhamel911]

[dwzxt]

I LOVE JACk JOHNSON!!!!
