      Surely Ben's voice is way way up there... He has far more range than Jack... Both are great. But bens voice when he wants to get high is on another level. ​@@jamieschorzman5159

    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.

    A woman named Carrie that I deeply connected with introduced me to this song laying in bed in that first bit of relationship stage.
    Man, what a beautiful song. She fucked up. I fucked up but she is that habit I cant break.

    This song makes me think of a lot of relationships I've been in. Sadly. They're all so eager in the beginning. The flame slowly fades.However they never pay me the courtesy of leaving before my heart is worn and tired. I guess not all breaks are meant to be clean ones. oh well. Love this song.

    A você mesmo
    A sua presença não é boa pra ninguém
    Tem muitas outras coisas
    Que eu poderia fazer
    Ah, não, outra desculpa não!
    Seus joguinhos bestas
    Pra mim já são inúteis
    Oh, agora está claro pra eu enxergar
    Você está com alguém

    Então por que você não
    Por favor, me agrade como você quer agradar
    Não como você tem que agradar
    Ou então por que você apenas não me deixa logo
    Me deixar é o mínimo que você deveria fazer
    Você poderia ter me poupado
    Tanto sofrimento
    E me dito que você apenas queria
    Um amigo
    Acredite em mim, existe uma diferença
    Quando você quer dizer
    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

    je suis fan de Ben Harper depuis des années, et ce duo avec ces 2 voix somptueuses accompagnées d un touché de gratte mélodique font que cette compo reste magnifique depuis des années.
    Merci à vous Ben et Jack
