for anyone trying to learn this on guitar, don't make the same mistake i did--don't try too hard. i struggled and suffered trying to play it in a complex way. but if you listen and watch jack's strumming hand, he's actually just doing soft little strums between the melody parts. like with most of jack's music, less is more. it's all about the finesse, not the complexity. jack taught me this lesson. thank you jack.

This is one of my absolute favorites from him. I interpreted this song as the plight of those who live a provincial life- working 9-5 for big companies just to survive. I think Selling Sunsets For Somebody Else is that way by which I live a struggling life while those whom I work under get rich. If one lives that way for too long, their eyes get lonely in their face and they lose the spark in life.

Jack Johnson is the best, this guy is from another world...

This might be my favorite Jack Johnson song

This is too perfect

Took me to another world man... and wht a trip

Jack Johnson fan since 2003

My stepdad put me on this and now I’m addicted.

Definitely one of my favorite jack johnson songs, loved this version!

Lyrics: I know I've seen your face somewhere Selling something, some big idea I know I've seen that vacant stare Selling sunsets for somebody else You find yourself asking yourself What is any of it worth You find yourself looking up at night From the bottom of the earth No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep start jumping? They grow out their teeth Did they need a little something more than this? The taste of trouble on your lips 'Cause now they're biting at your thoughts You tell yourself just to turn away But you know you've already lost The smell of rain when you saw a way Could never be paid in full You try in vain to account for this mess And everything that you stole No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep start jumping? They grow out their teeth Did they need a little something more than this? 'Cause now they're biting at your feet They got you running from this place Now they're breathing down your neck Your eyes look lonely in your face I see you looking just out of frame What is it pulling you there? 'Cause things can never stay the same So what is keeping you here? No, can this world not afford to sleep anymore? No, did your sheep start jumping? They grow out their teeth They need a little something now Every time you think, well, they'll be biting at your thoughts And every time you blink, well, you'll be so damn far But you are more than this I know I've seen your face somewhere

Música para acalmar.

Very beautyful

Flututando!

He is a genius

I loveeeeee this is song (*----*)

I love the sound. I ask Alexa to play it every morning. Gets my mood up.

His voice sounds almost exactly like the recording. He definitely the type of musician that dont need no autotune

NICE

Nice

viciada!

This isn't getting any better

Flutuando nessa música

Where do I find the score of this piano song? Onde encontro a partitura dessa musica para piano?

Would you tell me name of mandolin player? How wonderful....

what's the name of the instrument that guy is playing, not the guitar but the other one. HELP PLEASE

The record needs drums like this.

What guitar is that?
