Re-recording of this 2003 song with Ted Key (Organ) and Adrian Secker (Piano). Adrian has played live with us a couple of times this year so it was a project to recreate the live sound in the studio. Back in 2003 there was no streaming and the original recording (song title 'Jack Johnson' ) was on CD and received local radio airplay for a few weeks. Spotify wouldn't accept a song titled with another artists name - hence the title change.
Jack Johnson
Driving up the Kawera gorge to Queenstown
Looking out the windows at the cars
Then you go and make a small commotion
Pointing out the V-dub that went past
Did you think you saw Jack Johnson
Did you see a surfboard and guitar
I think you’ve had way to much my friend
Cause everybody here looks like a star
Coronet is lovely as an ice cream
We’re carving up the snow having a ball
Then you go and make a small commotion
Pointing out a cool dude on a board
Sunday and we’re on the beach hung over
Recalling when the Eichardts was a bar
I feel like some kiwifruit pavlova
You’re still musing bout that V-dub car
