很会冲浪,很会歌唱,也很会想像,这就是来自美国夏威夷的民谣歌手Jack1 Johnson(杰克·约翰逊)。说杰克是个多面手一点也不夸张,17岁之前他是一名优秀的职业冲浪运动员,17岁之后他转行开始涉足电影、音乐和艺术——跑去当导演排了一部“嘻哈”歌手的纪录片,后来又和民谣歌手合作走入唱片界。
I want to be where the talk of the town
Is about last night when the sun went down
Yeah
And the trees are dancing and the warm wind blows
And the same old time
And the water below3 gives a gift to the sky
And the clouds give back every time they cry
Make the grass grow green beneath5 my toes
And if the sun pops7 out
I'll paint a picture all about
The colours I've been dreaming9 of
The hours just don't seem10 enough
To put it all together
Maybe it's as2 strange11 as it seems12 mmm mmm
And the trouble13 I find is that the trouble finds me
It's a part14 of my mind15 it begins with a dream8
And the feeling16 I get when I look in a sea
That this world is a puzzle
Find all the pieces
And put it all together
Then I rearrange it
I follow it forever17
Always as strange as it seems mmm mm
Nobody18 ever4 told me not to try
Not to try
Always try
Always try
And the water below gives a gift to the sky
And the clouds give back every time they cry
Make the grass grow green beneath my toes
And if the sun comes out
I'll paint a picture all about
The colours I've been dreaming of
The hours just don't seem enough
Put it all together
Always be as strange as it seems
I said19
Hooo hoo hohohoohhohooooo
