Yep this what music does, it has a song for every feeling, because believe that if the person singing had that feeling once that there is a good chance that others have had that feeling, so I'm with ya. Just remember this song won't always pertain to you and your current situation.
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs But Lord knows that this world is cruel And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool Learning loving somebody don't make them love you Must I always be waiting, waiting on you? Must I always be playing, playing your fool? I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you Ah, maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time, so please ignore The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool I keep playing your part But it's not my scene Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery Keep building it up But then you're shooting me down But I'm already down Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Well, if I was in your position I'd put down all my ammunition I'd wonder why it had taken me so long But Lord knows that I'm not you And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel 'Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do Must I always be waiting, waiting on you? Must I always be playing, playing your fool? No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
No one cares about what year you’re watching it in. The most important thing is we were all here for a finite moment together, different feelings, different goals, different thoughts. But we are all humans trying to figure this thing out at our own pace. But through it all we come to this song to relax, to cry, to smile, to dance. That’s cool man
I have been searching for this song for 7 years, My dad used to sing this, He left me at age 7. We reunited, and one day when i went to visit him, he was looking at old videos. I asked him about this song, He couldn't remember the name. I went on a search for this song, and now it is recommended to me- thanks youtube.
I once was going through a really difficult period in life and my dad showed me this song. Sat down with me and made me really listen to all the lyrics. Rest in peace dad ❤️
This used to be the song my dad always played when I was younger. I haven’t heard him play it in a while and I wish he would so I could relive the moments with him and this music
You can always have this song sent to you from your dad long after he is gone along with a message from him and a location tag so you can know when and where you both heard it together. Your dad has good taste.
I hadn't heard it in well over a decade and it randomly popped in my head today on October 1st, 2023. just the "waiting waiting on you" and I found it.
Jack Johnson struck gold with this. The lyrical context is extremely relatable. The lyrics themselves flow and play well with each other as well as the melody. The hook is memorable and Jack's vocalizations are honey to the ear. IMO this is the best single of his entire catalog. When the question is "Who is Jack Johnson?" comes up; this song is the answer.
My dad loved this song. God rest his soul. I wish I could go back and listen to this song with him again. Music definitely helps get you through tough times. It's bitter sweet.
I went thru a Jack Johnson musical phase when I was 19... it's been a number of years since I last purposefully sat down to listen to this album but the minute I heard Do You Remember playing at the coffee shop a few minutes ago, I was transported 14 years in the past, remembering what it felt like to be that young. This song reminded me what it was like playing the fool over some guy.... over several guys back then. Music is so powerful.
Lol I’m 19. I just went to a concert of his with ziggy Marley. I’m a musician and loving my mom for giving me a cd of his and arranging for us to go see him live!!
Yep, I imagine that, like he's talking to her, right in front of her, telling her that he can't always be playing her fool, mad, and sad, crying, yelling. The tone of his voice in the chorus sounds so sad, while the verses sound so angry. A masterpiece indeed.
Stop waiting and live your life. People that love you will be there and who cares about anyone else. I hope that helps ❤️ let the person in that doesn’t make you wait
I heard this song at my job at McDonald's and been waiting for it to come out 2 weeks later it plays again on my speaker on my night shift and I finally figured out who sing it and I absolutely love this song
I remember listening to this song regularly when I was going through my first breakup (although now, looking back, I understand that there was no such relationship). but I remember how every word in this song found an echo in my soul and clearly described my complex feelings at that time. thank you so much, without your music, maybe I wouldn't have been able to survive such a difficult moment for the psyche
i remember listing to this song when i was younger. i loved this song so much but as i grew up i forgot the name. i’ve been looking for it for years and recently my boyfriend was playing his music and it came up! i was so excited to hear it again and ask him the name of it! i love this song as much as i did the first time i heard it :)
This song is so bitter and angry. Of course he sets it to a catchy bright riff that just makes you bop your head and tap your feet. He really is a master of juxtaposition.
My dad played this song for me when I was a kid and I loved it. Then, he showed me the music video and I loved it even more. It's stuck with me for over 15 years.
I first heard this song in high school, I fell in love, I was hooked. I play jacks songs when I’m with my kids or taking them to school or on our way home or the store or wherever.
Wow, I can't believe it finally happened. I heard this song in a store 5 years ago and I've been looking for it ever since but wasn't able to find it because I couldn't remember the lyrics at all. I finally found it after I heard it on tv a few minutes ago.
The fact that we are closing down again for the second time was causing me to panic so when I woke up at 3 in the morning I reached out for comfort music. This, Coldplay and Beck. Ha . Great Song!
I was taking a practice multiple choice test for AP English Lang and Lit when my teacher's Pandora station started playing this song; I couldn't focus, I wrote the chorus on my paper >.> Still love it...
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs Lord knows that this world is cruel And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool And a loving somebody don't make them love you Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?

I worked for a call center a few years ago,and while I was on hold I heard a snippet of this song. I looked and looked for it for the past year,and so glad I finally found it.
I've literally been looking for this song for 7 years. I heard this in the store 5 minutes ago and looked up the lyrics, yesss. FINALLY!
Mark Trujillo Glad you found it.
It truly is a masterpiece.
Isn't that the way it always is? You hear a song and love it and race home to find it :) Sorry it took you seven years to find it, though. Yech...
Same exact thing and found it today. Heard it whilst working in Australia pre shasam
Welcome to the team.
This song is for u cause it's sey
:HES BEEN ALWAYS WAITING WATCHING FOR U😁😄😅👍
Was sitting here, out of no where I starting singing it in my head, and haven't heard this song in YEARS. Thank you memory
HahH woke up and did the same!!
Just went thru that right now at the beach
This song is really hitting a deep nerve for me. It’s kinda scary to find a song that perfectly captures word for word how I’m feeling right now
No song anchors memories of a certain era of my life quite like this one. It hits deep, tears deep 😪
Back when then they had no PR team? Him and K Slater are besties
Yep this what music does, it has a song for every feeling, because believe that if the person singing had that feeling once that there is a good chance that others have had that feeling, so I'm with ya. Just remember this song won't always pertain to you and your current situation.
well, if this is it you cant REALLY be in that bad of a spot lol
Try nahko
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Ah, maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time, so please ignore
The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
But then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
'Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
"Learning loving someone dont make them love you."
Turer words never spoken
Ryder Soleno Don’t worry I love u
Ryder Soleno so true.
Yup you could love them so much and they could just use you like a fool my ex husband taught me that
Rae O the fact that your dropping this in a comment section of a Jack Johnson video makes me sad for you. You clearly haven't dealt with it properly.
"Loving the son doesn't mean He loves you"
No one cares about what year you’re watching it in.
The most important thing is we were all here for a finite moment together, different feelings, different goals, different thoughts. But we are all humans trying to figure this thing out at our own pace. But through it all we come to this song to relax, to cry, to smile, to dance.
That’s cool man
U have a huge point.
Isn't that exactly the point of those "listening in [year]" comments?
Establishing a commonality through time and space, sharing a moment?
Dude
Watchin' in 2022
Thanks Walmart for introducing me to this song.
2020???😍😍😍😍this song is the best
Same!
Lol this song played while I was on hold 😂
I'm already down, just wait a minute, 2020
Yessir
❤️
Algum BR na quarentena ouvindo esse clássico?
Mas q pergunta kkkkkkkk
Saudades desse tempo
Clássico
O meu Deus... tempo que não volta :l rs

I just heard this song on the car and I searched it up immediately
Im glad u reconnected with ur dad.. blood always calls...this song is now part of the soundtrack of your life! Peace🤘🏻
I’m sure your dad is looking up for you from heaven and that soon you’ll meet again. God bless you.🤍🙏🏽
@@thechangefactory2892 op never said that their dad died
I once was going through a really difficult period in life and my dad showed me this song. Sat down with me and made me really listen to all the lyrics. Rest in peace dad ❤️
It's crazy how much a song can relate to your life at any given moment.
something about his voice makes his music so unique and ear catching
This used to be the song my dad always played when I was younger. I haven’t heard him play it in a while and I wish he would so I could relive the moments with him and this music
Play it and ask God to have your father with you for the moment😁
Play it for him
@@janebruce3939 Charlie don't surf.
@@squirrelattackspidy who is Charlie ?
You can always have this song sent to you from your dad long after he is gone along with a message from him and a location tag so you can know when and where you both heard it together. Your dad has good taste.
This popped into my head tonight at 12:28AM - 9-14-2022
This song has something special about it. I always come back.
Same tonight😄
Years ago i heard this🤨
I listen that song from work, last year on Summer 2022
I hadn't heard it in well over a decade and it randomly popped in my head today on October 1st, 2023. just the "waiting waiting on you" and I found it.
Cresci curtindo Jack Johnson! E agora em 2023 curto as mesmas músicas com a minha filha. Isso é absurdamente lindo! A vida é incrível!
Arrivedecci oh Pizza lord! Preach!
Que legal! ❤

To be fair every jack Johnson song, is COMPLETELY jack Johnson.
It’s hard to listen to this album without being transported to the past but I love that music can evoke those emotions ♥️
I heard this in the grocery store. I found myself singing in the aisles. My niece was slapping her leg to the beat and smiling.
thats where i heard it too and it reminded me that i love this song and havent heard it in years lol
truediva18 bruh this was just on at the grocery store I used to listen to it a long time ago
truediva18 lol
Nice....I love it. Cool...love from Sydney bro.
I hear this quite regularly at the 99 cents store it’s amazing
My dad loved this song. God rest his soul. I wish I could go back and listen to this song with him again. Music definitely helps get you through tough times. It's bitter sweet.
A heartbreak song that you can relate to, and rock your body to.
Queria não entender cada infeliz verso na pele.
O bom é que ele jogou um arranjo animado pra ajudar a superar a bad.
total !
brings back memories
I give it a 10! I heard this song in a store. Finally found the name.
I like how Jack smoothy fits so many lyrics into one line then turns around and hits you with a cool melody! This song is a good example of that.
I went thru a Jack Johnson musical phase when I was 19... it's been a number of years since I last purposefully sat down to listen to this album but the minute I heard Do You Remember playing at the coffee shop a few minutes ago, I was transported 14 years in the past, remembering what it felt like to be that young. This song reminded me what it was like playing the fool over some guy.... over several guys back then. Music is so powerful.
My Jack johnson phase occurred at about 15 years old. I'm also enjoying being a teenager again
Yes
Lol I’m 19. I just went to a concert of his with ziggy Marley. I’m a musician and loving my mom for giving me a cd of his and arranging for us to go see him live!!
always a breath f fresh air
I love this song...i was a young when he comes with His song
I fully understand this song as of tonight. I feel every line pertains to my life right now.
He sounds like he's going to beat you up,but while he is beating you up,he'll start crying.
Just listen to how mad he is but like,he's also sad!
Maci Jo he's that dude from naruto the show
Yep, I imagine that, like he's talking to her, right in front of her, telling her that he can't always be playing her fool, mad, and sad, crying, yelling. The tone of his voice in the chorus sounds so sad, while the verses sound so angry. A masterpiece indeed.
Almost like a breakup. Your sad but also mad.
I love this
When it just come to that time
Stop waiting and live your life. People that love you will be there and who cares about anyone else. I hope that helps ❤️ let the person in that doesn’t make you wait
Omg used to party to this song! 😂❤
I heard this song at my job at McDonald's and been waiting for it to come out 2 weeks later it plays again on my speaker on my night shift and I finally figured out who sing it and I absolutely love this song

This song will always remind me of my old brother 💕 he lives in sacramento & I live down in L.A. So whenever, I hear this song I always think of him😊💕
Love how his songs are just perfect to walk the beach and sing too. I would bet thats exactly how the lyrics came to him.
i remember listing to this song when i was younger. i loved this song so much but as i grew up i forgot the name. i’ve been looking for it for years and recently my boyfriend was playing his music and it came up! i was so excited to hear it again and ask him the name of it! i love this song as much as i did the first time i heard it :)
Why is this song so damn addictive.
🎧 to this fine tune while waiting for my ride
this reminds me of looking out on the ocean, listening to music, not a care in the world. pure happiness
Listening to this on my deck during lockdown. Ahh the bliss 👌❤
When this song randomly pops in your head and you gotta come listen to it
It’s weird cuz this song is super relaxing while also being super angry😂
Why not flake then? He has a lot of bummer lyrics that work well
It's the perfect song to scream quietly with a smile on your face and tears running down your face.
This song is so bitter and angry. Of course he sets it to a catchy bright riff that just makes you bop your head and tap your feet. He really is a master of juxtaposition.
I've pretty much been listening to this song repeatedly since this album first came out and I'm still nowhere near being tired of it!
I have forgotten how beautiful is this song and came back to listen forever
Finalmente achei o nome dessa música, escutava muito quando criança e não sabia o nome... Nostalgia dmais
Jus heard this song in the store today
Good song
This was tue somg that got me into jack johnson along with so many others, im sure.
From 2005 to 2021 and still my favourite album
That album cover. Awesome.
2021 in here. I remember getting picked up for middle school listening to this song on my bus ride to school. Life flies by man
My dad played this song for me when I was a kid and I loved it. Then, he showed me the music video and I loved it even more. It's stuck with me for over 15 years.
Em 2030 estarei ouvindo essa música... Muito linda!
this is the only good thing that came out of working at Staples for 3 weeks.
Ahahah mate you can't understand how accurate your statement describes my job situation right now
Carson Clark ha
Home depot for me
Lol nice
Lol right on.
This is the best song he has done.
I first heard this song in high school, I fell in love, I was hooked. I play jacks songs when I’m with my kids or taking them to school or on our way home or the store or wherever.
Tocava direto essa música na época que eu morava lá em Floripa por volta de 2006. Baita soMzeira!
Wow, I can't believe it finally happened. I heard this song in a store 5 years ago and I've been looking for it ever since but wasn't able to find it because I couldn't remember the lyrics at all. I finally found it after I heard it on tv a few minutes ago.

I literally am in love with almost every lyric and acoustic sounds from Jack Johnson. Just saying~
I feel the same heather james prescott
The man that made we switch from electric guitar to acoustic guitar
Such a classic tune almost forgot about it till I seen Jack Johnson pop up in my recommended youtube videos #Classic
Awesome. The first time heard this song was in a store! I love it
Alguem ouvindo em 2024 esse som maravilhoso?
This song played on the radio with my dad back then when we always went fishing on the dock.
BRASIL amo amo essa música ❤Jack Johnson
I finally found that song I always listend to it at the store
Yo i'm on a streak finding good old music. I'm so happy rn.
Jack Johnson ; the best for chilled out music, that is actually saying something.
Dezembro 2020 e nós.
he's a poet with ALOT of soul, I feel the same soul in Marley
His songs are perfect heart and soul touchers, always, bless your soul Jack, love you!!!
One of my favorite albums ever
Perfect song for these quarantine days 👣👣👣👣
Eén van de beste nummers die ik ken, simpel, aanstekelijk en gave tekst!! (Ik ben van 1951...)
Jack Johnson is one of coolest soft rock singers of contemporary music. His songs are so catchy and upbeat
I never feel bore listening Jack Johnson songs....
This is one of those songs that take me to another time in life that I use to listen to it all the time.
Released in 2005 and I was a video game rep working in Best Buy. This song was on a lot in the store (among other tunes, of course.) I still love it!!
2021 homey this is timeless
Jack is still my fav artist
Layla though
I was taking a practice multiple choice test for AP English Lang and Lit when my teacher's Pandora station started playing this song; I couldn't focus, I wrote the chorus on my paper >.> Still love it...
jgugsu same here
Simple music, but certainlty beautiful music.
And what a voice
Listening in front of the sea 🎼🌊
Essa música me traz paz🤘
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool
And a loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
I sang your songs, I danced your danceI gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Aw, maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
But then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Because waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
No I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool
this smooth jazz message has hurt me too many times and i cant take another banger tickling my good song ear hairs
Man, that last minute 54 was my favorite part.
Honestly though great song. Thank you Jack Johnson
Was 5 years old in a drum circle dancing on top of huge drums surrounded by hippies. Thats what this brings me back to
my teacher played this in class and i fell in love with it 😍
unlucky prince my teacher played this and I was the only one that liked it. My teacher introduced me to such a wonderful person and music too
My best friend. Love's this whole album. I miss him
Story of my life...waiting...wishing
CADÊ OS BR EM 2020?

helped me heal after life hit me like a ton of bricks.....thanks for the tunes of gold!
I worked for a call center a few years ago,and while I was on hold I heard a snippet of this song. I looked and looked for it for the past year,and so glad I finally found it.
the theme song of my life right now
