Jack Johnson - Adrift

[MauiGreenDragonism]

When is Jack going to play with Willie Nelson?

[UsmcReconaissance]

@TheMrJoeFisher possibly the gentle strumming of those strings.

[braak17]

I love you Jack, thanks.

[fardinaldkito81]

ooohh so soulfull nice ...

[mikeyjvasquez]

Funny how things turn out. My true love left me and I still think about her to this day. Life goes on but I am so happy that I had 3 years with her. It was the best part of my life and if I had a choice to do it over again I would do it over again. The pain of her not being with me hurts but I have to be strong and love myself. There will be another and there will be another for her. This song is dedicated to her because I wish her the best with all the love in my heart. I love you Madison.

[moviewayz]

There's a part of the heart he projects. There's a part of the heart that attaches to me. I don't know how he does it, but that doesn't matter- I'm listening to this song.

[agustinechegaray]

con solo decirme Hola, me cambias todo

[andreabaer1]

My dear, from the first moment listening I've fallen for his music...

[JohnLeguizamo1]

THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT JACK JOHNSON AS PRESIDENT :)

[ThatGurlSkiis]

This makes me^ think alot:/ -3 love it

[p3destrian]

jack johnson never fails to make me feel better.

this is one of my favorite songs of his <3

[bec442]

@p3destrian i agree::

[thecameronexplosion]

9 people who have never been in love.

[thecameronexplosion]

@thecameronexplosion &&697 who have

[jhcproductions69]

jack johnson makes sense in how the world is and he saved my life

[juaxtecolote]

gee im in pain right now... but this song makes me think that life may separate us some times and we have to be strong... i will you

[peterkokai]

who is the second guitar player??



[StephenRevellFilms]

@peterkokai That's Merlo

[MrSirgiggidy]

@peterkokai Could potentially be Zach Gill, he is in the the "Jack Johnson Band" and plays various instrument for them including guitar.

[CameraPops]

Jack Johnson is pretty talented, I mean he did save my life :)

[GuitarFreakReegs]

I really want JJ to compile all of these Plastic Plant live vids onto one DVD. I would totally buy it. From what I've found, there are 8 separate videos...

[VanieTheGreat]

This song helped me through a very hard time in my life...

No one ever sings alone.

[kletyop]

intro reminds me of dust in the wind

[cheesenuget1]

listen to this and open a new window, go on youtube and type in rain sounds without music, click on "The sound of rain w/o music". =)

[JACOI3ES]

the only connection i can draw between the two songs is the strumming style...not in strumming patter, but style, the bass note into the rest of the chord...it's a common style and is used throughout the blues. that being said they may start eerily similar in the beginning, but they move on totally completely different paths

[juhbear]

This song is so underrated.

[andreabaer1]

I bin scho wieda gaunz eiweni....

[Migas128]

i hope this song be on her head when she thinks of me...i hope...

[AK3227]

is it just me or did Mr Johnson steal this tune from David Gilmour, check out SMIlE from the 2006 album On an Island its here on youtube as well

[MrMaker7]

@AK3227 maybe you didn't listen to the songs, but that song doesn't sound anything like this song. the strumming pattern is wrong, and its not even the same key. the melodies are COMPLETELY different. Jack Johnson didn't steal this from anyone, so yes it is just you...

[AK3227]

hmm - perhaps - it is however very very very similar; yes not in 'strumming' but there are many similarities - so lets remove steal and add 'inspired alot from...'LOL!!!

[kneeldah]

@AK3227 .....I strongly agree with you! I like to think that Jack was truly inspired..and why wouldn't he, after all Smile by David Gilmour is a very inspiring song. Cheers to both!

[xxCallmeReyxx]

some of the greatest songs are viewed the leased...this is my favorite song

[TheTaseengauti]

7 people are hard of hearing

[dogman652]

I just dont understand how you can dislike this music. HOW????

[HJoan86]

sick! Good stuff

[slaytojl]

love this song

[billyjoetoe]

"7 people are on the shore not adrift"

NOO i hate those comments

[konata329]

7 ppl suck

[heyytherre159]

7 people,,,how could you dislike this

[TheMrJoeFisher]

his voice. wats more calming then that voice?

[JackJohnsonGuitarist]

this and f-stop blues are my 2 favourites:)

[theshaner]

any idea what tuning he is in?

[JackJohnsonGuitarist]

@theshaner for this version: strings are as follows...C,F,C,F,A,C...try it :D

[ChaoSTMS]

I want this song at my funeral :)

[justwithyoualways]

7 people , have horrible taste in music. how can you dislike this? if ur an iddiot thats how

[Mr28Vman]

How could anyone dislike this!?!?!

[LolaClo]

Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it...

[andreabaer1]

Listening so deeply and falling back to me...hoping to find somebody my size... to be traveling and always come back to me and to us...

[AshleyNicole1725]

Love<3

[Tnate17]

Take an 18 year old kid with so many thoughts about the future, show me this song, and then I begin to sit back and think about the present.

Jack Johnson is amazing.

[NWarriorLax20]

i love this song i own every cd why isnt it on there?

[robslater90]

@NWarriorLax20 It's on the "Sleep through the static" album.

[PAULfromPL]

Jack Johnson THE GREAT

[manbeastanimal]

songs of his shouldnt even have a dislike button!

[tricky2fakie]

I love jack

[logfire14]

@countryboyjessiem to bad youve never done acid

[qwrbrbrbl]

Yikes!!! It's a bloomin' song folks. No need to get all weird, crumbly and overly sentimental over it. Granted it's nice but please, pull yourselves together.

[alfieslittlethings]

@qwrbrbrbl I don't think you understand the power of songs its as much maybe even more important than talking. Its a way for some people to communicate what they truly think to others in ways they just couldn't sit down and talk to someone with. Music unites people helps people and heals people so maybe you haven't found that out yet but don't project your negativity out of naivety

[1MUSCLEORIMPORT3]

we were never meant to hold on..

[mbot48]

one of thee best songwriters!

[MrStevenfa]

"When will my weight be too much for you, when will these ideas be my own." Shattering lyrics. Mind blowing.. understanding

and perception of human nature. And how we SAY we want for our children,

yet how we fight their independence!

"you planted me in my own part..."

Your voice is your own, I cant protect it...

you'll have to sing a verse that is your own."

"Your ideas have always been your own, and this moment keeps on moving,

we were never meant to hold on."

Amazing insight.

[averagexperson]

"But somehow it just feels so wrong." That's the prettiest part of the whole song. (:

[TheGamechat]

thats one of the best soothest song from jack...its awesome

[Jizzy221]

This song makes me want to cry... I love JJ he is amazing... I have learned like all his songs... I love to play them on open mic night...

JmB

[SlickGuitar1993]

This reflects my life all to well righjt now.

[wditss]

i thought that this was supposed to be about God..."when you rise again I'll have become the sun"...i thought that it was supposed to be about his relationship with God and how he really sees spirituality...but that could be completely wrong hahaha

[NALung]

@wditss I've always interpreted this song the same way. The first line..."Your voice is adrift. I can't expect you to sing to me. As if I were the only one. I'll follow you like a leaf that's following the sun." Very spiritual. It's my all time favorite JJ song

[mrrager12]

can someone help me out with the meaning of this sometimes i feel its like for breakup like 2 dedicate 2 ur ex n sometimes 2 the new perosn in ur life

[mrrager12]

this man is amazing every song can afect anyones life

[cmf62]

I think of so many people in my life when I hear this song. Some happy some sad. What a great song to get such a powerful reaction from me .

[muzzickman]

aaaaaaah, west and wewaxation, huhuhuhuh

[pibezZ666]

use jack johnson as your alarm clock, hear it while you're havin breakfast and while you drive to work.. that makes your day more than great :)

[Sublemon7]

[TheUberAsian]

2nd fav off dat album while we waits da best

such a sleepy album

[HaleemChan]

mp3iffy now lets you grab cd-quality VEVO videos and HD YouTube videos to convert into mp3s. AWESOME> google mp3iffy.

[qwrbrbrbl]

Nice guitar playing

[JoBros8977]

=) my bf made this our song and its PERFECT!

[bubbletoes76]

jason mraz and jack johnson have "nothing" in common. Mraz doesn't even begin to compare to jack.

[faeriewhip]

@bubbletoes76 I do like Jason Mraz but you are right he can't hold a candle to Jack!! Jack Johnson changes the way I see things and puts my mind at ease like no other artist can....

[johnbonni]

jack johnson and jason mraz.. their the best. their amazing and have such a natural, god given talent!

[ljbeaver]

The tuning is Open G tuning which is CFCFAC. I know its weird but thats what it is. The background guitar is in standard tuning though.

[muzzickman]

@ljbeaver Yepperz, open G it is:)

[Caseman33]

@ljbeaver Its Open F. F A and C make up the F major chord.

[Giude91]

WoW! I love this song... *_*

[zt122]

its drop d

[goodmorningdear]

mmmm.

[atomi62]

This is genuine beauty of the soul...Jack Johnson is not only very talented but has a huge heart and beautiful soul...thank you Jack for sharing your wonderful music :-)

[aklessons]

what tuning is he using? i wanna know how to play this

[chappelaw]

i suppose standard eADGBE ... like the rest of his songs.

[BigPurple121]

Drop-d

[rockcandyclimbing]

@aklessons i think it may be dropC

[knightguy2]

here because i bought the jack johnson en concert dvd, because jack is the man. when i saw this video on there i really liked the gibson and figured this would be a good place to figure out the model. plus my takamine doesn't play too great :(

[knightguy2]

does anyone know what gibson the other guy is playing?? it is absolutely gorgeous and i would take a serious look into getting it if i knew what it was and if it happened to be in production. perhaps a small body??? any help would be appreciated :)

[15uvafan]

This song made me very sad it makes me think of my girlfriend breaking up with me for another guy but she wanted me to let go of her because she loved me and i loved her, but she said things happen for a reason and that i should be thankful for our relationship but should let go thats wat this song is about to me

[cookiefish880]

*in concert

[cookiefish880]

what does this song mean??

btw: amazing songg saw jack in 2008 his voice is soo pure and natural! c:

[davidgeorge31]

Wonderful song :)

[bagassa]

every song is a love song

[venus538]

james i love you always no distance will ever stop me from loving you. This song makes me think of you all the time idk why. I dedicate this to you my lovely james. Jack johnson you are the best dude!!!!!! You rock my world too!!!! Lol

[danillooow]

the begin seems Dust in the wind.

[luv4fantasy]

is this a love song? srry thas a dumb question but idk!

[angrageous]

I personally see it as a love song.. or a broken love song, but when i asked my bf one day what he thought he said to him it was a long about yourself and growing up... its however you take it and use it

[anniebme]

@luv4fantasy i think its about his kids. or having kids. but i'm not sure. the best part about this song is that it works both ways :)

[cwilliams12121212]

try listening to this before you start your day- it totally changes the pace your mind goes at

[miguelbalop]

[maning04]
