I got myself a new axe
For chopping all this wood that's
Goin' in that fire
It's gonna keep us warm tonight
Tonight
Tonight
It's cold out that window
There's cards on this table
The kids are making magic and
Only thing that matters tonight
Is tonight
Is tonight
And all our loved ones all around us
All our loved ones watching down on us
On us
It's warm in that window
I'm outside in the morning glow
And just before the sunrise
Morning bird sings a song
Just for the light
For the light
For the light
For the light
For the light
For the light
And all our loved ones all around us
All our loved ones watching down on us
On us
For chopping all this wood that's
Goin' in that fire
It's gonna keep us warm tonight
Tonight
Tonight
It's cold out that window
There's cards on this table
The kids are making magic and
Only thing that matters tonight
Is tonight
Is tonight
And all our loved ones all around us
All our loved ones watching down on us
On us
It's warm in that window
I'm outside in the morning glow
And just before the sunrise
Morning bird sings a song
Just for the light
For the light
For the light
For the light
For the light
For the light
And all our loved ones all around us
All our loved ones watching down on us
On us

i guess what jack johnson means when he says 'the diegetic world is so unclear' is that events dont really have meaning until they are represented/reported. it's not about the actual events, but the way theyre delivered, which makes sense since hes talking about newscasters.
zach
but anyhoo... pablo- you are SO right. i love the line at the end "why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die? at least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eye" it's SO powerful when he sings it. sometimes i just skip to that part of the song cause it's so amazing. i think everyone should hear that line because it's kind of a slap in the face when he sings it. it makes ya go yeah why not? jack is a genious (except for the diagetic part).
DIAGETIC sound: Sound that is produced by the narrative such as dialogue, as opposed to non-diagetic sound such as background mood music
