never know -Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson(杰克 约翰逊)一个成长在夏威夷海边的职业冲浪选手,在他厌倦了滑板的生活之后,跑去当导演拍摄了一部嘻哈歌手的纪录影片。后来又和民谣歌手合作,走入了唱片界。他不仅一手包办整张专辑的词曲、还会弹吉他,长的可爱讨人喜欢、有着诗人却不至文弱的阳光气息。出生在阳光满地的夏威夷,抱着吉他懒洋洋的在海边唱歌,是他最大的满足。In Between Dreams》是Jack的第三张专辑,比起头两张《Brushfire Fairytales》、《On and on》更显成熟完整,继续着民谣摇滚的曲风,并有节奏感强的雷鬼及抒情小品风格。在炎炎夏日,到海边吹着海风,听着Jack的音乐,是多么惬意的事情!!

I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors
But don''''t leave much up to the imagination
So I want to give this imagery back
But I know it just ain''''t so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again and again and again
It sure seems the same with a different name

We''''re breaking and rebuilding and we''''re growing, always guessing

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

It all happened so much faster than you can say disaster
Want to take a time-lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last word and maybe that''''s just the answer that we''''re after
But after all we''''re just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We''''re moments just combusting
We feel certain but we''''ll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name

We''''re begging and we''''re needing, and we''''re trying, and we''''re breathing

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 helping, rebuilding and we''''re growing
Never know

Knock, knock, coming door to door
To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grim
If you don''''t believe in what they''''re spoon-feeding
It''''s got no feeling so I read it again and again and again

It sure seems the same, so many different names

Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we''''ll always be competing

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, confusing
But the truth is, all we got are questions
We''''ll never know
