Cover art for Upside Down lyrics by Jack Johnson

"And as my mind begins to spread its wings Theres no stopping curiosity"

"I'll share this love I find with everyone"

my two fav lines in the song... when i listen to this song this is what i get out of it..life isn't about all the negatives really. look at the bright side of things and enjoy yourself..live for the moment. not everything is what it seems to be..when things go wrong there's always something good that comes along the way..and we should all just have fun and i hope that this feeling that i get or the "love" that i have for everyone doesn't go away..b/c im nineteen years old and somtimes i think and wonder how i'm going to be when i get older.and i don't want to change my kind heart..b/c i know that when i get older the pressure of money or of getting a job.. generally everything is going to built pressure on me but at the same time my kind heart won't fade..but i will never let the feeling go away.... like a part of yourself won't change i know many ppl can relate to what im saying haha hopefully.. but yeah i love this song !!

This song has great depth in its meaning and will take more then just a simple, "how this song makes me feel," but rather, what Jack Johnson (JJ) is trying to say with this song. For those who are familiar with the idea of different grades of thinking, JJ is showing how he is a grade one thinker when he says, "I want to turn the whole thing upside down, I'll find the things they say just can't be found," followed directly with the quote "I'll share this love I find with everyone." For those not familiar with different grades...

couldn't agree with you more. If there's one thing Jack Johnson has proven in his entire body of work, it's that he is indeed enlightened and knows his role in bringing about a positive change in the world... and he is effective at this.

I think the opening paragraph really touches on the idea of impossibility only being a limit to the box that so many people are stuck in and the belief that perception is infinitely unique. "I can feel a change in everything and as the surface breaks reflections fade" I think he is speaking of a global change in conscious...
