If I Had Eyes

"If I Had Eyes" is the first single from Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson's album Sleep Through the Static.

Johnson added: "I made a song that said, 'If I had an eyeball on the end of my tail, I'd tell you that you look good as I walked away'.

I meant it literally, but once I thought about metaphors (Johnson's friends were divorcing), it was a beautiful way to put it.

"[1] The music video for "If I Had Eyes" shows Jack Johnson and his fellow musicians (see below credits) performing the song in a recording studio.

The video was shot in grayscale with a few other colors appearing, mostly from the instruments they're playing.
