The song Sitting, Waiting, Wishing is from singer/ song writer Jack Johnson, the sixth song from the album In Between Dreams.
The song is about a man you is continually rejected by a woman, and is asking the question "Must I always be waiting on you". Yet the actual video to the song does not have a strong link between visual and lyrics.
The music video incorporates revers narration with Jack Johnson being the main focus and other coming in and out of the room. The setting is a random room that starts of in chaos, with broken furniture and objects thrown about. As the video is played we see the room become cleaner as the objects come back together and food flys out. The most impressive feature of the music video is the fact singing Jack has to learn and sing the song in revers, so when the song is played back in revers he appears to sing properly.
The playback narrative of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing is very similar to ColdPlay's The Scientist of their album A Rush of Blood to the Head. In this music video we see lead singer Chris Martin singing in revers as the video is played back, also seen in Sitting, Waiting, Wishing. The song has a better storyline to it then Sitting, Waiting, Wishing but then The Scientist is not a one shot wonder.
