@gugztapa im sorry. not only is this annoying because someone posts something like this on every video. but rape is very serious. and to me, never funny. so when i see comments like this, it's every offensive to me as a woman. sighhh anyways. i do love this song. hah
@Taneing stop acting more retarded than you actually are. You know it was a spelling error. 21 other people guessed it. your mother probably regret she didn't have that abortion.. down the stairs.
if anyone sees this comment id appreciate it greatly if you replied me what this genre is called or any other jack johnson-esque artists thanks so much. peace, love xo
@armanrules818 i'm sorry dude, i wanna like your comment but it has 69 likes and it would be very un-bro of me to ruin that. This is officially my homework theme song though haha!
Is this song referring to 9/11 when it says "there's kids playing games on the pavement, drawing waves on the pavement. shadows of planes on the pavement" ?
@slash686 probably not. it seems more like he's talking about how kids are more down to earth while the adults are in the planes looking towards the heavens
@slash686 some people seem to think that it is, but its not. Jack Johnson was questioned about it by interviewers, and he said that he wrote this song almost three months before 9/11 occurred. I think that the lines about kids playing and drawing on the pavement are about how kids should be playing in grass, and ponds and forests, but the world is so industrialized that they can't, and the "shadows of planes.." lyric is about how we have even taken over the skies with industrialism.
@slash686 hold up a second, im not trying to argue or tell you your stupid or anything, im just explaining. sorry if you took that the wrong way, or if i typed it in a manner that seemed demeaning.
I realize that this is a real chill sounding song with a great, easy melody, but the lyrics of the song echo Jack's disappointment with humanity's greed and zeal for progress. I can't get into the surf motif.
he wrote this song a few days before 9/11/2001 while he was in new york. some of the lyrics are hauntingly coincidental: "shadows of the planes on the pavement." "how could we have known?" etc.
Most of Jack's songs have beatiful melodies and great guitar and his voice is amazing but can anyone really tell me what his songs are truely about....Some of his songs have obvious meanings but some (like this is a great example) what do they mean...please help me out.
Thank you for the cool video images. Wild Ace, I think Jack's songs are free associations.. kind of like self commentary about life, little snippets of observations mixed with emotions. Some of it seems random, but there's some underlying theme. It's up to you to project meaning on it--make it special to you :)
This song is about how much we take the earth for granted. "If you keep adding stones, soon the water will be lost in the well" means that if we keep covering our planet in concrete and skyscrapers, we're going to lose it's beauty. Jack is from Hawaii, which is so beautiful it is impossible to take the Earth for granted there. Once you leave and go to a city, it just makes you sick thinking about all the wonderful land we covered in roads and buildings. same concept as "they paved paradise"
