I was just working on homework yesterday, and I usually listen to music while I work. Yesterday I was jammin' out to the talented Mr. Jack Johnson, specifically his album "On & On". There are tons of good songs on the album but the one that kind of got me thinking was his song Dreams be Dreams.
Well summer came along and it then was gone and so was she
Not from him because he followed her just to let her know
A dreams a dream
And all this livings so much harder than it seems
But girl don't let your dreams be dreams
You know this livings not so hard as it seems
Don't let your dreams dreams
Your dreams your dreams be dreams
Above is the last verse of the song. The song is about how a girls relationship with a certain guy is holding her back from her real dreams in life, making her dreams just dreams instead of reality. It's amazing how Jack Johnson can create an amazing tune, then add so much meaning to it with his words. None of his songs are just a catchy tune with meaningless words. He smoothly points out things in society and politics. One of my favorite lines of his is "Why don't those newscasters cry when they read about people who die? At least they could be decent enough to leave just a tear in their eye." This just opens your eyes a bit to how cold and cruel the world can be in every day life. Jack Johnson is a talented dude.
