I am so grateful for my parents raising me on Jack Johnson, his music is so peaceful and it just makes me happy

[@mariapazvalenzuela2032]

ok

[@Giofear]

Raising you? Is that so old already? Wow..Time passes by...

[@Giofear]

no I mean it feels like I just started listening his music just a while ago.. it turns out that it's not really a while, it's up there for quite some time :)

[@mariapazvalenzuela2032]

nice! Regards :)

[@sreenathmonuty6016]

absolutely right

[@jadynmidget2241]

My mom used to love this song so so much, it always reminds me of her and her outlook on life. Her influence on my life has been insurmountable; I just wish I had the chance to say I love you again.

[@mpqw]

🙏

[@cammyruby]

Every time you look out to the sky. You can say I love you because your mom is everywhere. Just look up to the sky or down to your hands.

[@sutosmallz4415]

She know it. Beacause she's your mom.

[@IarwainBenAdarMerryDol]

When I played this song yesterday my blind baby boy smiled for the first time in his life while I rocked him to sleep...bless you Jack Johnson...bless you.

[@scoobybag]

This is so crazy, how is your life? Is your son 12? How is he? This is very sweet

[@craigtilley9746]

I’m out 😅or you know I 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 3:01

[@LeMatMaster]

My mom was a huge Jack Johnson fan and played this when I was younger. 13 years later, This popped up in my recommendation tab and it brought me back to those days.

[@oculuis]

My father purchased the CD of this album and played it nonstop in his truck every time he would take us on trips and vacations when I was a kid, so it's tied a lot to my childhood and memories of spending time with him. He would blast this on his speakers during weekends, the whole house was filled with nothing but JJ music for hours! I never figured out what ever happened to that CD, but after going on a JJ binge I'm tempted to buy it for him again but this time as a Father's Day gift. Just to relive those childhood memories one last time. Also, I really need to watch that Curious George movie again, I've forgotten it entirely! Time flies since 2006!

[@xThatBoiChris]

Beautiful story man. Definitely gift him that for Father’s Day

[@MrSvante88]

Agree, that would make a beautiful gift.

[@alem7336]

your songs makes me want to be a better person..thank you jack

[@hafl4364]

Well, I think that sharing this is already something, right? Hope you can make it, so life can return good things to you

[@JosefFlynn]

I'm right there with you, man. Music like this has made me a stronger person most definitely. Hope you're doing well. Peace and love.

[@phoenixmistertwo8815]

Al Em , Wow, what a compliment to Jack. For me, this music eases the tension and hate that creeps into my heart so...Better person, I guess you're right.

[@helenacharmont9627]

1:39 hello

[@covertchaos8347]

Haven't heard this song in 12 years. I just listened to it and sang every word. A lot has changed since the first time I heard it, but it was nice to time travel for just a few minutes.

[@mirandaefg]

Jack has a healing way

[@sprinkles3723]

My english teacher plays Jack's songs every single day and I'm glad he does because whenever his songs start playing, I want to cry, but smile at the same time. It calms me down from being so scared of having to be around people I don't know. Thank you for your songs, Mister :)

[@76EATDX.]

Literally just saw someone commenting saying there a English teacher and they put this on for their students

[@FantasyBookWriter]

Coming home, sitting down, putting on the head set and...listening to Jack Johnson is the most important thing of the day. :)

[@thefungiwhisperer2313]

I really relate to this song, or at least the way I interpret it, sometimes I wish I would just be alone and able to breakdown and cry, cry in a way that feels good, and get rid of all the sad emotions in me, but I can't, it feels like I haven't cried right in so long that I can't even get it all out, it just leaves me feeling like a used toothpaste container, you know it's all crumbled up and twisted and you know there is still toothpaste inside, but its impossible to get out. I'm glad this song exists,

[@FeelingGoodFilms]

Thanks for writing all these songs, Jack. It really injects that love and peace into our hearts, it's what this world needs.

[@Christian-yh7bs]

Turns out… This is another unbelievable jam, by Jack & the band. Thank you… Aloha & Mahalo (Love & Respect)

[@bluejjboy]

Jack is the Serotonin of music. Always giving off good vibes and giving people the warm and fuzzies. Hard not to dig Jack Johnson songs.

[@andrewsanders5876]

I like that analogy to serotonin.

[@PerxitaNitt]

Yesterday I had 2 panic attacks in over 3 years. One of the things which helps me to clame down is his music. I'm so grateful for what he does, he will never now but he saved me more than once.

[@amara2811]

So proud to know this talented artist is from the same island as me. Especially when I was younger, I remember so many people used to play his music. I wish they still did. He performed at my school when I was in third grade and it was amazing.

[@caseydaniel7272]

That's awesome. I wish I could say the same.

[@emmaconway9056]

Amara im so jealous

[@birdspirit7634]

I can’t believe he performed at your school

[@gamwisesamgee7400]

I wonder if you went to the same school as this person who commented on another Jack Johnson video. They said he performed at their school because it was part of a charity thing to see who could recycle the most plastic bottles.

[@marksuson3852]

@@gamwisesamgee7400 Thought the same. bumped into them both in the comment section. Hope they'll exchange messages. :)

[@coconuciferanuts339]

Jack's music,his philosophical lyrics(with humor) in his videos are well,er fantastic.

[@adamashton6742]

This how my messing about on a guitar got me into surfing, I’d never seen surfing until I watched this video. Changed my life beyond belief!

[@Thefallen311]

I used to work in a small cafe in Vancouver. The owner had 2 CDs that he played. Both of them were Jack Johnson. Working there changed my life simply because it was how I found out about Jack Johnson. I've absolutely adored his music ever since.

[@britter9007]

wouldnt that get annoying lol hearing the same music over and over

[@jennifermorton9234]

This, my friends, is the closest you’ll get to a musically equivalent to the feeling of peace and serenity. Love you Jack Johnson ♥️

[@Slash4eva7]

Whenever i feel really down, I always listen to this song, it helps remind me that there is more to life then the little things, and we just need to look past it and onto the bright side of life :)

[@Jagg3h]

Bought the album based on this song. Still don't regret it almost 20 years later.

[@MikeBrown-il1no]

This man is living life the calmest.....and making amazing music...this is living

[@sameritaco]

My mom just came home from the hospital yesterday after a multi-week visit and Jack Johnson feels so perfect right now. :')

[@thurl_]

S/o my 3rd grade teacher for playing jack johnson in class all the time. 17 years later ive come across his music since back then. hits much harder now

[@elebrony]

Lately, I've been thinking way too much about the "horrors of the real world" and what would happen if I got severely sick or injured one day, or even if I died, and it really helps to listen to a song like this. My life was NEVER meant to go as fast as it has been lately... I need this old train to breakdown too.

[@ozzie5636]

I admire this guy. He's so humble and calm, I kinda wish I was this way..but sadly I'm an hot head still working on how to become humble..

[@ethanc4424]

That comment was pretty humble, off to a good start

[@Roykynx]

This song truly is amazing, tells a story about living life taking your time, enjoying every moment.

[@soulsurvivor9124]

12 years and still kicking jack johnson 2023 cant stop this vibe honestly people need their train to break down a little more these days. things go to fast, people dont stop to appericate the small things anymore.

[@theheartdoom]

my mind always travel when I listen to Jack Johnson , GOD BLESS HIM...

[@badgaming921]

I used to listen to this song between patrols in Afghanistan. Brought me a lot of peace in a chaotic situation.

[@0406LN]

omg what a great song.. first time i heard it on the radio.. was in an awful mood. this came on and got out of my car with a smile on my face and this song in my heart. .

[@jamesbentley3143]

I hope this old train breaks down. I love every song by him. No matter what I do I can listen to this and I forget, His music has saved my life. and has taught me to live. Oh please let this train break down so I can take a walk around.

[@MultiBilly85]

Listening to this in 2019 and it brought back so many good memories of good times on the beach, bonfire and chilling with friends back in the islands...never ending summer and good vibes! Now living in a city in Japan, its winter, living alone, different culture, studies, work and wishing life could be much simpler.

[@charliem4560]

Jack Johnson makes the most calming music in existence imo

[@melebird]

Love this soothing music and watching Jack Johnson surf the waves...sea gulls...freeing......feels good to see.

[@tpot91]

Jack you are the man. How many smiles have you put on sad faces? At least this one, your greatest hits is gonna be like 45 tracks... Thats production value

[@varshaajgaonkar5017]

Jack Johnson..singer,songwriter, professional surfer...i love this guy....

[@GotGamesFTW]

I honestly don't understand how people could press that dislike button. This guy's lifestyle is awsome.

[@xJeSsiicaXAlbaX69dme]

Heard this Jam and all of a sudden... I started a tomato garden, paid for the guy behind me at the toll booth, gave a waitress my phone number, decided not to quit my piano lessons, took a brisk 3 mile jog, cleaned underneath my fridge, let the guy sitting behind me at the movies keep explaining the plot line to his buddy, decided to stop grabbing so many napkins, came to a full complete stop at a stop sign, and called mom and told her I love her.

Love listening to this song with a beer in hand, watching the summer sun slowly set. Pure happiness!

[@justakosmicgirllove4252]

I can't believe how I forgot how much I love Jack Johnson, own all his CDs and reminds me of living on and off Kauai :) I remembered him yesterday when I was making banana pancakes with my 7 yearold son

[@maynardsheep]

The train is a metaphor for time. He needs the train to break down (time to stop) so he can just enjoy the present moment he is in. The character in the song has the perfect life, but is just too busy too stop, take a deep breath, and enjoy the life he's experiencing at that moment. Who knows how long it will last.

[@orcaoreo4782]

I’ve been searching for this song for years now, it was one of my mothers favorites. Good memories…

"Breakdown" I hope this old train breaks down Then I could take a walk around See what there is to see Time is just a melody With all the people in the street walking as fast as their feet can take 'em I just roll through town And though my window's got a view, well, the frame I'm looking through Seems to have no concern for now, so for now I I need this old train to break down Oh, please, just let me please break down Well, this engine screams out loud Centipede gonna crawl westbound So I don't even make a sound 'Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town And all the people in the street that I'll never get to meet If these tracks don't bend somehow And I got no time that I got to get To where I don't need to be, so I I need this old train to break down Oh, please, just let me please break down I need this old train to break down Oh, please, just let me please break down I wanna break on down But I can't stop now Let me break on down But you can't stop nothing if you got no control Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know You don't know nothing, but you don't need to know The wisdom's in the trees, not the glass windows You can't stop wishing if you don't let go The things that you find and you lose and you know You keep on rolling, put the moment on hold The frame's too bright, so put the blinds down low, and I need this old train to break down Oh, please, just let me please break down I need this old train to break down Oh, please, just let me please break down I wanna break on down But I can't stop now

[@silviam.8530]

Time is just a melody. Slipping through fingers.

[@bnk1310]

Jack Johnson's tunes are fun, simple, catchy. His lyrics seem more to me like a mechanism for his voice to keep rhythm and less for sharing a thought, emotion, or experience. For lack of a better word: trifling. I can't see myself taking his songs to my death bed the way I do other folk music.

[@HearTheMusic118]

When I'm sitting on the beach, in front of my beach house, listening to Jack Johnson. Then I'll know that my dreams came true. :D

I didn't listen to this guy much when I was in elementary and such, but he has 3 songs that I loved. Upside Down, The 3 R's, and Breakdown. I somehow made it back here in highschool, and it's sad. Makes me wish I was back in elementary. I can remember when I was younger I wanted to just grow up. I'm nowhere near the end of my education that I have planned, but I still wish I could go back.

[@tyhop88]

Few years back tripping on shrooms, sitting in a room full of black light posters. This song came on and I had an epiphany, it has everything to do with a good trip! "But you can't stop nothing If you got no control Of the thoughts in your mind That you kept and you know You don't know nothing But you don't need to know The wisdom's in the trees Not the glass windows You can't stop wishing If you don't let go The things that you find And you lose, and you know You keep on rolling Put the moment on hold The frame's too bright So put the blinds down low"

[@ryantrent2114]

This song will make you catch your breath, will make you smile, will chill your mean streak.

Such a lovely melody. I love it whenever it comes on the radio my heart smiles.:)
