I love
this Jack Johnson’s “Constellation.” The lyrics are beautiful and it’s damn chilling when I listen to the
sounds. My mood changes. It has a poetic feeling. It’s like calm, cherishing
feelings of those little moments you spend just watching the sunset and looking
at the stars. The lyric has such deep meanings…it seems like he sure knows life
and how to live life, the gift of life, and the real beauty in life. His other
songs like “If I Could,” “Breakdown,” are songs must listen to.
It is amazing how "we drew our
own constellations." It resembles the phrase "drawing conclusions"…drawing
to an end. This song is amazing, just like every other song by Jack.
And another line, 'listen close
enough all else fades... fades away.' It sounds damn chilling to our lives. And it’s true.
The song helps me to bring and build
beautiful memories of my child, family, and times.
Jack Johnson is a Hawaiian-folk singer-songwriter.
He is a soft rocker, surfer and filmmaker.
And I would like
to leave here with my favorite song, Constellations.
"Constellations"
The light
was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the way
It's getting late
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papa's translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades, fades away
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations.
In the west it was blue

And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the way

It was just another night

To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papa's translations
