Jack Johnson - Wasting time



What I like most about this music is how it emphasizes the process even if the result would come to nothing: in the extreme even if someone tells me

"Love's just a waste of our energy,
And this life is just a waste of our time"

I can still go ahead and have a lot of pleasure by "wasting" it all tonight. Even if it goes nowhere, if it pays nothing, no marriage, no kids, no afterlife, no heaven, no hell, no nothing, it is still an ecstatic experience, just by the fun of it.

The sheer fun of it.

In this, we'll never be disappointed, because we had no expectations at all.

Lyrics here.
