Once again (see tomorrow morning), this song is bound to jack's answering machine. he used to have this message for incoming calls saying that "well, now that it's summertime and the weather's fine, we're out for a couple hours but we will call you back .. " etc etc etc .. and he ended making a song out of it Of course, it has nothing to do with the meaning of the song in the end, but i just thought i'd state that fact ;) It's a really nice song, and once again a pretty sad song about living up your own life/dreams instead of geting caught in a relationship that just eats you alive. I sometimes see some springsteen themes in johnson's lyrics, and it makes me feel good because springsteen has written some of the best lyrics i've ever heard. Anyway, really good song, but pretty sad. Live up to your dreams people ;) |

The song was actually written by jack for his wife while he was away surfing for the september sessions movie iirc. He couldn't get a hold of her and he left a message on the answering machine with the "what would you do ..." His wife loved the message (which girl wouldn't ?) and she asked him to make a complete song out of it .. and he did, and it rocks :) |

This is a definitely beautiful song. Jack explains in an iTunes session record that he was in NYC on that fateful day, with his bass player who comes from brooklyn. His buddies were playing b-ball while he was drawing waves on the pavement (the only thing he can draw from when he lived in hawaii) with some kids around. He saw shadows on his drawings and that's when he saw all the planes that were circling in the sky waiting for being able to land... and then everything knows what happens. He also said that he only recorded the song a year or so later out of respect for everything that happened. Definitely a beautifully crafted song lyrically and musically. Bravo again to mr Jack Johnson. |
