    Jack Johnson is casual chillaxin music at its finest.
    I listen to this guy when Im drinking coffee, when I'm on my way to the groceries, hangin out at the beach, during a bbq and picnic, chillaxin with my girlfriend, when Im smoking a joint, when I'm eating ice cream, when I'm reading the newspaper, driving home from work etc.

    Great song. Can't believe I never knew about Ben Harper. Just discovered him from the book I'm reading, which I took out of the library when I was 13, but had to return, because it was new. After all these years bought it, ha ha and it's funny to see the synchronization of 2001 and 2016. Something are always relevant.

    Tanto sofrimento
    E me dito que você apenas queria

    E quando você finge
    Ou eu sou apenas um hábito seu
    Porque eu sei que hábitos
    São difíceis de perder
    Mas, você não vai me poupar
    Um pouco da sua misericórdia
    Tem muitas coisas
    Muitas coisas que eu posso aguentar

    What we need is to chill out, have more nights of bonding.... to just be able to take off that mask....to just.....make unbelievable connections..thats all...
