Jack Johnson





5 june
i escaped from my house this noon after my yoga practising, and spent the afternoon in a Jusco nearby . i spent an hr in Starbucks , ate a marble cheese cake and a glass of hot milk as i cannot drink coffee now, and i definitely craved for cheese cake. Then spent an hr in a bookstore, browsing for all kind of books. window shopped but there is nothing i want to buy except a pair of jeans only cost 10SGD for i am too fat for my old pants, after that i spent some time in the groceries store too but find nothing i want to buy.
When i was in Starbucks today , I read about the critics on Jack Johnson s new album , he has the charm to combine simple music with his melancholic voice, usually in a gentle manner and with lyrics that tells us daily things happening around us.
He belongs to a rare genre in western pop now, especially when R&B and hip hop is the main stream , and he managed to draw a certain group audience . i love the way he sings, it feels like you are relaxing in a pub , and this singer is telling the stories by his singing , gentlely with guitar as the background. in any album of this singer , i found most of the songs are pleasing to ears and easy to understand but it always come with deep thoughts behind the lyrics. He is a lucky man, doing the things he like and not giving in for commercial reasons. Hope to see him going on for years till i am old too, as i am very picky when it comes to music, only listen to very few singers that i like.



Darby.
