::TRANSCRIPT::
Jack Johnson: They talk more about the emotions that I think people are going through right now with sort of the worry of tomorrow. I don’t know that there is anything we specifically talk about, you know, environmental issues.
But the first song on the record talks about how, “I want to take the preconceived out from underneath your feet. We could shake it off. Instead we’ll plant some seeds. And we’ll watch them as they grow. With each new beat the roots grow deeper.” and that kind of thing.
So I think a lot of them use a lot of imagery of nature to try to explain things better whether it’s anybody could understand, you know. And they make you feel like when I sing one of these they make me feel like wanting to do something positive and so I guess in the end that’s the goal. I don’t set out writing the songs for any purpose besides just getting ideas out of my head. I hope they have a positive impact on people.
