There are many things in life that no one fully understands. Whether it be science, religion, politics - it's all relative depending on who you are and how you look at it. We may act like we know, or even believe we know, but truth to one person is always going to be false to another. For those of us who are willing to admit that we don't know, this song seems to present two options for us. We can either follow the crowd even though we don't understand or we can work to find our own meaning.
I DONT KNOW HOW THE FUCKING RADIOS HERE IN BRAZIL RARELY PLAY JACK JOHNSON.the most famous radio here is pop,they would call jonas brother a rock band
@MakeMeMad31 it's like this everywhere ... radio music destructed the mind of the young people and nobody love good music like jack johnson and john mayer ... it's just bullshit :(
@marinelovesuperman i am 15 and jack johnson was one of the first musicians ive ever listened and i like him.i think i met his music when i was 8.it was sitting,waiting,wishing in a non pop radio station.i like john mayer and maroon 5 too
Jack is pure intelligent - music sounds similar but track his lyrics over time. Jacks music is some of the deepest insightful music on life, history and propaganda.
He is inspiring us to stand up and fix the bad things happening in life
thanks Jack - its crappy world we live in - wake up smell the coffee - If you believe you are good person - lets stand up together
But it's all relative Even if you don't understand Well it's all understood Especially when you don't understand And it's all just because Even if we don't understand Then lets all just believe But there you go once again You missed the point and then you point Your fingers at me And say that I said not to believe I believe I guess I guess it's all relative
I love this man with all of my heart and soul...Jack will you marry me. I want to have your babies and live by the ocean and fall asleep listening to you...then wake up to you making me banana pancakes.
This song really brings to light how we humans believe things and follow "norms" without really thinking about what we are doing. It is very inspiring. I <3 Jack Johnson!! :D

If you know what I mean" it's about being confused & being pressured into believing/just going along w/something absurd, e.g. people "teaching" about faith. He contradicts himself to sound absurd/confused because that's what he's singing about, he's being ironic. <3 Really dug this song when I was younger&newly agnostic
@ccher9 "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." -Voltaire
Jack Johnson's vegetarian, every anatomy class I've taken has taught that humans are anatomically herbivore, I question why everyone in class didn't turn vegan after that..
When you listen The part when he sing But it's all Relative, it's makes me Start Thinking about life, world... Even if you don't understand what i'm talking about but it's all relative
not to sound like a dick, but i feel you fall under the category of someone who doesn't know music well enough, i mean music as a product... i don't even like jack much anymore.,.. but i'm a musician and i understand that his music is complex and therefore NOT boring... it's often slow, but not boring, there's a huge difference
@spinasweetness shut the hell up! you are ignorant to think of music as a product, jj's music is forged from his heart mind and soul, it isnt fake and he isnt popular because of his image or look, its his music!
@peonchop2 dude... first of all, i said nothing of his image or look, not really sure where that came from... secondly, neither did i say that J's music is not full of heart, mind, OR soul... music without any of those is meaningless and then worthless... my point was that his style of writing may sound simple but it's not boring because of how he compiles instrumentation... and his lyrics are outstanding
@peonchop2 alright fair enough, i can't believe this conversation has gone so long, but yea, i didn't mean to say that music is solely a product, i was just referring to the production
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i used to hate jack johnson and his lame guitar songs that all sounded the same but this is more like "eels" or anyways GREAT stuff im listening to this over and over again ...
jack johnson has alot more to offer then what i think you have heard id suggest listenin to diffrent songs from diffrent albums but u r entitiled to ur own opinion so oh wellz
I've always loved this song, when I listen to it, it brings back such memories. It's wonderful... But so depressing. I always draw when I listen to music and I notice I always sketch someone crying when I hear this.
