Jack Johnson的歌總是可以把城市的味道在一瞬間沖掉
讓海風的味道從電腦桌前面的窗戶飄進來
突然間，街上的電線杆冒出了芽，變成一棵棵的椰子樹
一如往常的，我喜歡他音樂的節拍
喜歡他歌詞裡面悠然的態度
深藏不露的，輕輕訴說著一些大大的智慧
新專輯裡頭Sleep through the static這首歌
講述了他反戰的觀點及態度
叛逆也可以很溫柔
表態不一定要很激動
輕輕的搖動人心，也可以有很大的力量
我想Jack Johnson做到了
因為真的很喜歡他這首歌的旋律和裡面的態度
我就把歌詞翻譯一下吧，或許有一些還是那麼辭不達意
Jack Johnson唱出的反戰與和平 才是最重要的
Peace.
Jack Johnson/Sleep through the static
Trouble travels fast
Because it's a battle when you dabble in war
And so I will cook all your books
Who needs sleep when we've got love?
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
But who needs to see what we've done?
But beyond where we should have gone?
但我們已經走的太遠了
Jack Johnson/Sleep through the static
Trouble travels fast
麻煩總來的很快

You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together

Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
不管風暴是大還是小 就把它些上郵票吧
And send it to somebody who's pretending to care
