Taylor

Jack Johnson is the main motivation I had for starting to play guitar, even though I obviously knew I could never be as good as him. He stands out in current times regardless of the mainstream pop/dance required for anything to be considered a "hit" anymore. He stays true to his sound and soul with every song he sings. I have chosen to outline his song Taylor.

I chose this song because im obsessed with the guitar rifts throughout the entire song. The eccentricity of the variety of notes he can play in a split second is what makes Johnson stand out from the rest, and it is seen in this song.

The first half of this song is actually about a stripper...

"Well mommy's little dancer'squite a little secretworking on the streets now

never gonna keep it."

...while the second part is about a man whos just floating through his day to day life, ever so unsatisfied.

"He thinks that singin' on a Sunday's gonna save his soul
but now that Saturday is gone
Well sometimes he thinks that he's on his way
but I can see, that his break lights are on"

Both are relatable in they tell the story of two people who dont like where they've ended up, both wanting to be anywhere else in the world then where they are and how they are; two people that want to run.
