No, not jack daniels, come on. I'm a promoter of good health here people...I mean, jack johnson. The man is great. Good for the soul. Something about his voice is very soothing. And his lyrics are so chill. Simple words with relevance. I love it. He puts me in a good mood, even when --uhhhh-- i'm not in a good mood. Yeah. Sometimes we don't really catch the lyrics unless we read them. Here are some of his lyrics that have stuck with me....
"Inaudible Melodies"
Slow down everyone -You're moving too fast -Frames can't catch you when You're moving like that...
Slow down everyone -You're moving too fast -Frames can't catch you when You're moving like that...
"It's All Understood"
But I read somewhere -That you've got to beware -You can't believe anything you read -But the good Book is good -And that's well understood -So don't even question -If you know what I mean...
But I read somewhere -That you've got to beware -You can't believe anything you read -But the good Book is good -And that's well understood -So don't even question -If you know what I mean...
"Gone"
And cars and phones and diamond rings, Bling, bling, -because those are only removable things-And what about your mind? Does it shine?Are there things that concern you more than your time?...

"Better Together"
Love is the answer-At least for most of the questions in my heart -Like why are we here? And where do we go? -And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy and -Sometimes life can be deceiving -I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together
"Dreams Be Dreams"
And all this livings so much harder than it seems -But girl don't let your dreams be dreams -You know this livings not so hard as it seems -Don't let your dreams dreams...
And all this livings so much harder than it seems -But girl don't let your dreams be dreams -You know this livings not so hard as it seems -Don't let your dreams dreams...
"Upside Down"
I want to turn the whole thing upside down -I'll find the things they say just can't be found -I'll share this love I find with everyone -We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs -This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste...
"Broken"
With everything in the past -Fading faster and faster until it was gone -Found out I was losing so much more than I knew all along -Because everything I've been working for -Was only worth nickels and dimes -But if I had a minute for every hour that I've wasted -I'd be rich in time, I'd be doing fine -Without you I was broken -But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side...

"With My Own Two Hands"(feat. Ben Harper)
I can change the world -With my own two hands -Make it a better place -With my own two hands -Make it a kinder place -With my own two hands...
I can change the world -With my own two hands -Make it a better place -With my own two hands -Make it a kinder place -With my own two hands...
