Smart Jack!

Recebi outro dia um presente maravilhoso de uma "ex" aluna que tenho um carinho imenso... dois dvd´s do Jack Jhonson. E aí aproveitei o fim de semana para ver inúmeras vezes as imagens + músicas desse cara que é meu ídolo. Eu já disse várias vezes para o Alessandro que ele é o novo Bob Marley da música. Não é que ele tenha o mesmo "ritmo" mas as letras das músicas são contagiosas e têm um significado ímpar. E foi pensando em alguns desses significados que resolvi colocar aqui alguns trechos fundamentais das minhas músicas preferidas!

"You can't stop wishin´
If you dont let go
Of the things that you find
And you lose and you know
You keep on rollin
Put the moment on hold
But the frames still bright
With the blinds down low..."
[A Brokedown Melody]

"There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
Our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
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..."
[Better Together]

" Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now..."
[F-stop Blues]

" I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down..."
[Flake]

" Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows
Where’d all the good people go?
We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow..."
[Good People]

" Never knowing
We´re shocking but we´re nothing
We´re just moments, we´re clever but we´re clueless
We´re just human, amusing and confusing
We´re trying, but where is this all leading?
We´ll never know..."
[Never know]

" And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you'd
know all of the things that i'd know
we told each other, there is no other way..."
[Other way]

" And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to time like these
And times like those
And what will be will be
And so it goes..."
[Times like these]

" But everybody thinks that everybody knows
about everybody else but nobody knows
anything about themselves,
because they´re all worried about everybody else..."
[Wasting time]
