Inaudible Melodies (7)

The beauty of music is that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Jack Johnson’s music is just one of those examples. What is meant to be believed about “Inaudible Melodies” is that people are living their lives way too fast. Some people can get so caught up in what they are doing that they can’t even notice the simple pleasures of life slipping away. If we all just stop and enjoy each and everyday as it comes then we could catch the best parts of life.
I did a little research on Jack Johnson and what some people may not realize is that he is a filmmaker. Maybe Jack was so caught up in his filmmaking too seriously and he missed out on some important things in his life and he doesn’t want any of his fans to do the same. In the line, “You’re moving too fast, frames can’t catch you when you’re moving like that.” A camera couldn’t catch some people because they are moving so quickly. The frame wouldn’t work because the camera wouldn’t have anything to place in that section.
Jack chose oxymoron as a stylistic devise because “Inaudible Melodies” is an oxymoron itself. The word inaudible means incapable of being heard and the word melodies is an example of music or sound. Being incapable of hearing melodies of a song makes it an oxymoron. Hearing this song may make you understand it more clearly but you may not need sound to get a meaning across. “But in the long run we have found, silent films are full of sound, inaudibly free.”
