Jack Johnson

Já aqui falei em outros textos sobre um senhor da musica da actualidade que muito admiro, Mr. Jason Mraz. Não falei ainda neste outro senhor que vem logo a seguir na minha lista de preferências de interpretes masculinos da actualidade, Mr. Jack Johnson. Quem já ouviu as suas musicas está familiarizado com a relevância das mensagens escritas nas letras, e com o som cheio-de-sentido da viola. Eu fiquei rendida. Deixo-vos com uma amostra do que vos falo.
Music and Lyrics.

Good People

You win it’s your show now
So what’s it going to be?
Cause’ people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch
And we thought this was low
Well it’s bad, getting worse….

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

They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused, got too much to lose
Give me some truth now, who’s side are we on
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube, I’m in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way now…

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

Sitting around feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it’s all going to be
You might notice some hesitation
’cause its important to you, it’s not important to me
way down by the edge of your whole reason
Well it’s beginning to show and ALL I really want to know is…

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 got heaps and heaps of what we sow

(Where’d all the good people go?)
They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing one, two man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway
Okay, whatever you say
Wrong or resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
where'd all the good people go
Going, going, gone.
