"Fragments" is a song by the American singer Jack Johnson, released on February 17, 2017.[1] The song is featured in the short film "Smog of the Sea," and is also the tenth track on Jack's seventh studio album, All the Light Above It Too.[2]
The song was released on February 17, 2017, along with the release of the short film documentary, "Smog of the Sea."[3] The song is featured in this film which chronicles a one-week journey through the Sargasso Sea.[4] Along with the song's release, Jack announced his 2017 Tour, and plans to release a new album in the summer.
Johnson says that he wrote the song about ocean pollution, and that the "Smog of the Sea" documentary inspired him to do so.[5] The song's main message is to be mindful of our impact on the environment.[6] The trip also inspired many other songs on his album "All the Light Above it Too."[7] By the end of the trip, Johnson had almost completed all the songs and was ready to record them.[8]
The song has been performed during Jack's "All the Light Above it Too Tour" multiple times, along with "My Mind Is for Sale."[9]
