Where the first five songs on All the Light Above It Too take on pollution, climate change and politics, "Big Sur" is Jack Johnson pointing your attention somewhere else. The fourth single from his 2017 album on Brushfire Records, it's a love song to his wife Kim, his 15th for her, written on a surfing trip and full of good times in the water and on the beach.
It arrived in September 2017 with a proper rollout: Johnson announced it on a live stream with Zane Lowe on Beats 1, put it out alongside a live video of him playing it on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and pressed a CD single carrying a remix by former Beastie Boy Mike D, which premiered on episode 31 of Mike D's show The Echo Chamber.
