Mangoes and Music with Jack Johnson

Music + Doodle = Moodle |Today’s Moodle - Better Together by Jack Johnson.

Sometimes you just want to listen to simple songs with uncomplicated lyrics, nice tunes with uplifting beats. I always rely on Jack Johnson’s songs to calm my mind when it gets too buzzing. It’s soothing and easy on the ears.

Today, I feel particularly happy. So, I decided to make a doodle on “Better Together” from Jonhson’s album “In Between Dreams”. A simple song of love and of togetherness. To compliment the song, I made a doodle of a couple enjoying their time together. J

By and by, just a little trivia: Do you know this album was recorded in Johnson’s studio which was named “Mango Tree”? The cover art of the album “In Between Dreams” also depicts a Mango Tree. What's more, in one line of the song “Better Together”, we hear the words “Not so many things we got to do, or places we got to be, we’ll sit beneath the Mango Tree now”. With all the mango references, Mango seems to be Johnson’s favorite fruit!!

Hope you like the moodle!
