Then, I remembered about a song that one of my professors presented in the class two years ago. The problem was that I did not remember who the singer was not even the name of the song. One day, while I was watching Cartoon Network, one song that was being played on TV, caught my attention. The singer´s voice was familiar to me and guess what, it was Jack Johnson, the one that I was looking for.
Now you know who the singer of the song I presented is. The name of the song is “Taylor”, Jack Johnson wrote this song about a girl named Taylor. The song tells the story of three characters: Taylor, Peter Patrick and Sunny. In the song, Taylor works the night shift, passing out tickets but it does not say where, and she is dreaming about a better place; where sadness is unknown, and if she finds a place like that, she will run away. The second character is Peter Patrick who is in love with Taylor, but in the song they do not say how they met. But I believe it was probably while she was wandering in the streets.
One day, when Patrick is out of his house, he finds out that is locked out of it. He pitter-patters on his window, but, Sunny who is Peter´s wife will not let him in, because somehow she knows where Peter Patrick has been going to, he has been with Taylor. He realizes about his mistake and thinks that going to church every Sunday will make things right again.
For me, the song is related to culture because each character has a particular lifestyle. Many people live like any of this characters and it can have many consequences in life. These lifestyles many times are passed from generation to generation. People around the world tend to believe that is the best way you live because that is what they have learned from their parents.
