Jack Johnson-Better Together

One of my all time favorite songs is Better Together by Jack Johnson. It is such a mellow and upbeat song that creates a message of one person loving another person. It is actually a love song created by Jack Johnson for his wife. Not only using the 4/4 time, but the triplets are what makes the song live and healthy. Homophony is used throughout the song as Jack Johnson is singing the melody and guitar is playing chords behind him. There is a bass part and also a harmony part that brings the song together. The beginning starts out with a guitar solo and then brings in the vocals. There is no drum beat at the beginning of the song but once the chorus comes in, the drum starts, and it gives the song a whole new meaning. The song then goes through a bridge and then comes back for the ending to end off in a guitar solo. For me this song makes me joyful and makes me enjoy acoustic songs more than I actually do.
