@TheKatyLady1 In my opinion this song is about conformism - how everyone wants to make changes to "be cool" and "be like the others" others, but after those changes they lose individuality and become "just another part of the herd". Those are people of feeble character and vague self-esteem. This is my interpretation but I am curious of yours.
we're human , we're different ,we're intitled to listen to whatever we feel like listening , it may be "good music", it may be "bad music" , it may be bloody well be noise but if you feel like it you listen to it , but i for one like j.j. cause he's got some nice lyrics and a good voice , plus he did the sound track to a childrens movie wich is a thumbs up , and i get a nice impression of his vision of life .
Best singer song writer imo...been listening to his stuff for like 5 years now and never get tired of the songs...makes me wanna just lay back on a hammock and smoke one
@cliftonw70 its because the people who are haters of things havnt discovered him because they are stuck listening to crap. its only real people who appreciate music who truly appreaciate him. and who could knock this guy, hes great!!

dude comon u have to admit this is good music to sleep right cant u ever like stay uncalm until u listen to music like this u got to like let ur head take over for a change and just ajust to somthin soft like this dont u ever get tired of listenig to all tht other stuff not saying tht the other music is awsme but it dose get ennoying time after time
it doesn't have to be complex to be good music but to get all huffy when someone says something is simplistic is dumb Jack Johnson is in my top 4 I'm not insulting him, I'm just saying I'm not a phenominal guitarist or anything and I've managed to sort it out
no, it really is pretty simplistic guitar work, I picked up on and on the other day and learned the cd in 3-4 hours. and I haven't been playing THAT long nor am I THAT good. he just uses little tricks that sound awesome but really arent that hard to pull off
Yeah slim, you're right, lets totally eliminate musical diversity and get back to my grandmother's mentality. She felt that my mother was listening to that "devil music" of Buddy Holly. And my great grandmother thought the same thing when my grandmother listened to Benny Goodman. Yep, trash....all of it....except Jack. Lets just listen to Jack. Pssst, you better hope Jack doesn't listen to heavy metal or rap. He may not hold to your opinion.
@charlitunaman2002 i heard jack actually cites tribe called quest as one of his influences :/ they are one of the best things that happened for the rap genre
@charlitunaman2002 Jack said himself that he played in a Punkband and still can't decide so he listens to for instance Bob Marley and Punkrock at the same time :)
jack johnson is the shit period. i love his music. its so mellow and relaxing. very happy happy type of music. it just puts you in a good mood. its awesome
Dude I agree with you 100% jacks voice is so much more mellow and smooth. And jacks guitar work is way better than Jasons level. Also jack uses a much more high end guitar than a taylor. Jack uses a maton and some live sesions for like aol and ect he will play takamine
He actually uses a Cole Clark. but i believe he used to use maton... but in anycase, a musician like him always has more than one type of guitar. Ive seen him use, Taylors, Martins, Takamines, etc., All high end guitars, which offer different sound and playability.
they dont sound similar but if they did...it wouldnt be that Jack Johnson sounded like Jason Mraz. It would be that Jason Mraz sounded like Jack Johnson
that's YOUR opinion, i love jack johnson to bits, but i also like screamo and deathcore, just be a little less close minded, no one's forcing you to listen to slipknot
What happened to the old version of this song? This one sucks in comparison.
