Jack Johnson's Strong Selling Point Is His Savoir Faire

Jack Johnson has managed to do something I never thought possible...turn a song called "My Mind Is For Sale" into something celebratory. The lyrics certainly venture towards the deep end of the intellectual pool. The video's remarkably charming given the subject matter. According to Mr. Johnson it was made on his iPhone for $0. The results are remarkable. Jack's whimsy takes a central role which boosts its buying power. Guitar starts the show and it's not spread too thick. Gentle, consistent, easy to slip into. Add some lively percussion while you're at it. Like I said the lyrics are for the deep thinkers among us. There appears to be a road race. Jack's opponent apparently uses six or seven words not at all in good taste. Jack's gist is he's not one for paranoid commentary. Us against them walls just won't cut it. In verse two Jack boldly admits that his mind's for sale, speaking from a real estate standpoint. He claims it's all been subdivided, divided into reasons why my two opposing thoughts at once are fine.I'm intrigued at how chipper and troublesome overlap over something as vexing as a exploitable mind. If anyone can pull it off Jack certainly can. "Upside Down" was proof that breezy is definitely part of Jack's repertoire. Watching bricks magically acquire words you can bet will take you back to your childhood days. His contention that reality's a slippery slope couldn't be any more appropriate given the maddening political climate going on right now. "My Mind Is For Sale" serves as the banana cocktail counterpoint to the emotionally loaded lyrics. Watching it lumber along gracefully should delight even the most hardened music cynic who claims to have heard everything. That the animation trickles along slowly enough for you and I to appreciate the labor that went into making it shows real class on Jack's part. His artistry really comes through loud and clear. You'll like the chorus's sunny composition as well. "My Mind Is For Sale" has amply demonstrated that it's worth shelling out a few bucks for.
