"Big Sur" is the fourth single by American musician Jack Johnson,and is featured on his 2017 studio album All the Light Above It Too. It was released as a single on September 18,2017.
The single was announced with its release on a live stream with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on September 7,2017. [1] On the podcast,it was also announced that a CD Single of the song would be released which would feature a remix of the song by ex Beastie Boy Mike D. [2] The song's remix premiered on episode 31 of Mike's show "The Echo Chamber" on September 14,2017. [3] The song was released with a live video of Jack performing the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! [4]
The song was written by Johnson for his wife Kim,which is his 15th love song to her. [5] The song is not only a love song to Kim,but a song that is made to make you focus on other things other than the first five songs talked about. The first five songs talked about issues such as pollution,Climate change,and politics. [6] The song describes fun times surfing and at the beach,and was written while Johnson was on a surfing trip. [7] Johnson described the full meaning of the song on an interview at CNN and said "driving away from all those things that can load up on your mind and weigh heavy on you. Big Sur is about escaping all of that. In the song,I refer to the lines of the road driving up —but it's also the lines of society that confine us. Big Sur is one of those places for me where you can find freedom." [5]
The song was recorded at Jack Johnson's studio called "The Mango Tree" in Hawaii just after the 2016 United States presidential election. [8] It was produced by long time companion Robbie Lackritz, [9] and was a mostly pure song with little to no post production. [10]
