Jack Johnson - Sunsets For Somebody Else (Live on eTown)

[@TCP2k10]

This is one of my absolute favorites from him. I interpreted this song as the plight of those who live a provincial life- working 9-5 for big companies just to survive. I think Selling Sunsets For Somebody Else is that way by which I live a struggling life while those whom I work under get rich. If one lives that way for too long, their eyes get lonely in their face and they lose the spark in life.

you definitely spoke my life out... your perspective is exactly what my life is. 😭😭

[@ApacheHighlights]

Tim there’s no place for that kind of talk, be the person who everyone else works for. Problem solved.

[@KaueGuest182]

Good reflection sir! And I really love this song... one of the best songs to relax!

[@AuntyTamika]

Heii, my friend made a cover of it please check it out ^ ^ kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWkgoeXYs2sbpI

Totally agree. We love this song. We leave you a link so you can see our little collaboration with Jack Johnson: kzbin.info/www/bejne/an6XmnZjndOrm5o

[@roflmows]

for anyone trying to learn this on guitar, don't make the same mistake i did--don't try too hard. i struggled and suffered trying to play it in a complex way. but if you listen and watch jack's strumming hand, he's actually just doing soft little strums between the melody parts. like with most of jack's music, less is more. it's all about the finesse, not the complexity. jack taught me this lesson. thank you jack.

Lyrics: I know I've seen your face somewhere Selling something, some big idea I know I've seen that vacant stare Selling sunsets for somebody else You find yourself asking yourself What is any of it worth You find yourself looking up at night From the bottom of the earth No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep start jumping? They grow out their teeth Did they need a little something more than this? The taste of trouble on your lips 'Cause now they're biting at your thoughts You tell yourself just to turn away But you know you've already lost The smell of rain when you saw a way Could never be paid in full You try in vain to account for this mess And everything that you stole No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep start jumping? They grow out their teeth Did they need a little something more than this? 'Cause now they're biting at your feet They got you running from this place Now they're breathing down your neck Your eyes look lonely in your face I see you looking just out of frame What is it pulling you there? 'Cause things can never stay the same So what is keeping you here? No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep start jumping? They grow out their teeth They need a little something now Every time you think, well, they'll be biting at your thoughts And every time you blink, well, you'll be so damn far But you are more than this I know I've seen your face somewhere
