Jacko Hooper is proven once again his power of true musicianship.

“This Was The Earth” is about 3

minutes 47 seconds long but every second of this song is like a bit of heaven.

In his latest single and music video, titled “ This Was The Earth” singer/songwriter Jacko Hooper
continues to impress critics and fans alike with his warm tonality, earnest lyrical style and humble
poeticisms – the best of which could well be contained in this song.

Like a warm ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy afternoon, this is one track almost guaranteed
to shift your mood towards the positive no matter how many times it’s been played before.

The music video for “This Was The Earth” is finally available on youtube
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-CpwYc0dtw ) and it features some rather enigmatic
imagery, but aside from its surreal stylization, the video itself is as efficiently structured as its
source material is. Everything we see from shot to shot becomes interwoven with the tapestry of
Hooper’s lyrical narrative at some point or another.

The emotional depth created by the harmony between Hooper’s vocal and the guitar parts in the
track is incredible, and whether you’ve been following his career thus far or are just now getting
into his music for the very first time, I think it’s clear that there isn’t anything forced in his
execution here.

“This Was The Earth” is a very relaxed composition in every way that actually counts for something
– in rhythm, rhyme and tone, there’s an easygoingness to this song that you don’t hear every day on
the FM dial, and that alone makes it quite the pop gem indeed.

This master mix, which is the same whether analyzing the music video or the song on its own, is
supremely detailed from top to bottom, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming in the least.

Those who have been hoping for some chill-inducing harmonies out of the pop underground this
spring are sure to find a homerun of a single/video combo in Jacko Hooper’s “This Was The Earth”.

This song starts off with a guitar playing and then merges more into other instruments including
drums.

With this new release he proved that his own path of pure magic is still growing since “How Lucky
We Are” which we covered with our own piece upon its release. ( If you missed it, you can find it

decadently melodic in his music, and as long as he continues to bring the passion that he displays in
this track to his future recordings, he’s going to find himself a great deal of professional respect in
the years to come.
