Indie Knows Jack

     Yes, Indie knows Jack. And the familiarity cuts across continents and genres – Folk, Rock and Electronica. Jack and the Weatherman are a Folk duo from Haarlem in the Netherlands. Their song “Written” features an eerie harmonica, male/female harmonization, and lyrics that are charming in their simplicity.
     “Written” by Jack and the Weatherman


Lyrics of “Written”
I’ll make my papa proud
One day I will somehow
Mother says I’m strong
I’m the oldest one

Papa’s tough as nails
He works the farm every day and
One day I will too
But first I’ll finish school

Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh,
The fields don’t even notice,
The trees don’t seem to care
Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh,
The pages of my story,
Written in the dirt
Written in the dirt

Papa told me true
One day this will all belong to you
Mother’s proud of me
I’ll run the company

Met this girl at school
Her friends are really cool, she’s
Opened her heart to me
It must be nice to be

Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
The fields don’t seem to notice,
The trees don’t even care
Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
The pages of my story,
Written in the dirt
Written in the dirt

Oeh Oeh

I’ll make my papa proud
One day I will somehow

Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
The cows don’t seem to notice,
The cows don’t even care
Oeh, oeh, oeh, oeh
The pages of my story,
Written in the dirt
Written in the dirt
