Hell Yeah, I'm Listening Franti... Love It

Exhale is hard, re double my effort s, tomorrow is just that, another day

I will cycle 2000KM (Summer 2020) to Santiago de Compostela and challenge myself to make the world a greener place, will you help me?

Dont give up

Beautiful song and heartfelt video. We are ALL connected w/ the need and desire to be loved, understood and accepted for who we are.
I love Michael for so many reasons, he brings ppl together w/ his music n his messages, he sheds light on what's going on in the world, he's for humanity, he's full of love~ 💞
He is my "goto" when I'm feeling down and he Always lifts me up again w/ his music.
In my opinion he is one of the *Greatest men alive.*
I am so thankful for him and the songs that he has created, out of the music that is in his AMAZING HEART!!! His cup runneth over...Much Love~
🌬🙏🏻💗🙂🙌🏻✨✌🏻

currently listening while its raining really hard outside. Bliss!

hearts true = hugs back ~ !

Ideas are for having better ideas about your idea.

and Reg, whats this about vision?

Beautiful !!!!!

Saw him live at the Live Oak music festival , listening to his music watching him perform dancing under the Live Oak was A very spiritual experience ! We are one we are human ✌🏻❤️🌲🎶

I feel like I NEED to meet him. I need a friend like this right now. My life has completely crumbled. No job, no car, no money, wife cheated and left.

I'm a living country song. Ugh

I like your song bro! I felt like Jesus was telling me: believe in me as I believe in you! Thank you!

Great track... deep lyrics deserving of 2 million views

Sorry.... but NO ONE can ever take Bob's aka the King of Reggea place in this or any of the centuries to come. He is unique like MJ King of Pop, Elvis King of Rock n Roll.. with theire iconic voices. But Mr. Franti is good yeah nice song and flow (but this is no reggea people). Maybe he might become the Prince of Soul but he needs to take over the world like Bob did. I only heard of him because of WWF. And Bob did it the OLD old way...without internet and social media.

WWF Commercial :/

Wytse Wolf ☺

It's hard to live in this world that's spinning these days.. We should learn from the native and stop living our 'luxury' life that's fild with hatefull people in a sick society.. I just pitty this life style in wich i do and probably more of u 'have' to live to keep our head up.. :-/

Beautiful Human Being !!! I don't mean only physical beauty I mean BEAUTY ... Essence of it ....

Tell me why? Sending love to all🌷💕

Sometimes the world seems out of control.  Thanks for giving us perspective.

Filled with such gratitude for your beautiful gift. Message received.

don't give up

Will print....

your being crushed by your own tools multimedia...backfire

your powers only as big as your head

some people???don't want the little guy to WINN

From a diehard metal head - this guy is great. Just discovered his music flipping channels on a Saturday morning; his song "Let it Go" was on on a Showtime program about the Burning Man festival.

Michael is a shining light in a dark and divided world. I believe he has realized his purpose here and it is to shine his light as bright as possible in hopes of lighting the way for the rest of us to realize our potential and purpose here on Earth. I love this man like a brother even though I have never met him. My girl had a chance to meet him and he was genuine in every way. The world needs more souls like Michael Franti!

I agree!

Please Vote in the primaries and caucuses for BERNIE SANDERS..

Unbeschreiblich! Und nicht nur dieses Lied!!!

Bob Marley for the 21st century, beautiful song, beautiful man....

Exactly!

Tell me why the grass was greener, years ago, I swear, it used to grow here, but no more here.
Tell me why on this hill, all the birds they used to come to fly here, come to die here.
And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray...

Beirut, Baghdad and Paris...What's happening in the world today?

Time to leave earth

Poor girl at the end looks like a pro. No child should ever have to live like that. She has seen too much.

Its a interesting point that artist do not get traction on commercial radio but "talent " get it all day long. Perhaps the world would be a better place if we gave more air time to artist who say it very simply; "don't give up on me and I won't give up on you"

Beautiful song and video. In every way

Why is there good music out there like this that I never heard of, yet I can't seem to escape Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber?

+gpgpgpgp1000 I feel I need to clarify a bit. I don't listen to Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, or Justin Bieber. What I mean is that they are all over the radio for the general masses.
I listen to a lot of music, Judas Priest to Mariah Carey, Black Sabbath to Kylie Minogue, Anthrax to Olivia Newton-John, Yes to The Circle Jerks... I love a wide variety, good music is good music.
Thanks to everyone making suggestions though!

+gpgpgpgp1000 Miley might end up making music kinda like this when she is older. Some of her songs are actually decent but people stick to their pre-conceived notions of her it seems.

+Abi Fae Not all of us judge the material Miley puts out based on pre-concieved notions. And upon careful review I cannot see your point in saying some of her songs are actually decent. It doesn't mean you are wrong and I am right it just means that not everyone sees her material in the same way you do. I personally find nothing redeeming in her lyrics that would make me respect her as an artist, but that is only one person's opinion. I hope she can survive her antics and someday make me a believer as I am also an optimist. Maybe one day you will be proven correct but history will tell the story, we can only surmise.

+gpgpgpgp1000 My first step was: Turn off the Radio ;)

+gpgpgpgp1000 they didn't get picked up by label, right? and pay off the radio stations..

who the fuck cares we are human you do what u do to fuckin survive

catholic

hey ho here we go scotland mental fuckin hospital clydebank

Tom Ely... <3 thank  you:)

Tell me why the grass was greener,
Years ago, I swear, it used to grow here,
But no more here.

Tell me why on this hill,
All the birds they used to come to fly here,
Come to die here.

Tell me why I need to know,
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know
All you've shown me.

Hey world, what you say,
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you.
Just believe in me like I believe in you.

Tell me why, on the corner,
All the kids that used to come to run here,
Load their guns here.

And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray,
Tell me who said it's okay to die in the name of the lies we say,
Tell me why there's child soldiers,
Tell me why they close the borders,
Tell me how to fight disease, and
Tell me now, won't you please

The only thing I want to do
Is to be in the arms of someone who
Believes in me, like I believe in you

And I say
Hey world what you say,
Should I stick for around for another day
Hey world what you say,
Should I stick for around for another day
Hey world what you say,
Should I stick for around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up
And I try, try, try, try,
I try, try, try, try,
On you
Don't give up on me
And I cry, cry, cry, cry,
I cry, cry, cry, cry,
You
Just believe in me like I believe

Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Should I stick around for another day
Hey world, what you say
Should I stick around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you
Just believe in me like I believe in you

Don't give up on me

Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say?

Michael Franti is the real deal and speaks from the heart.

I bet worldwide polititians hate this Video !

laf you! , I wont give up on you, just believe in me like I believe in you <3 De Bob Marley van nu!

Powerful song and video. We can do (much) better!

Thank you, Michael Franti.

Michael Franti has a beautiful mind.  Speak life every day.  See a better world with your eyes, help build a better world with your hands, let your feet take you to the good earth and keep listening to artists like this one.  Give G_d the glory for your actions and let your actions be glorious.  Blessings!

WOW. WOW. WOW. I am blown away. I loved"Say Hey"but hadn't looked up his other work. I find this to be POWERFUL, IMPORTANT stuff --- healing stuff, given w no preaching but an attitude of grace. His videos are up-lifting, fantastic.

Thanks for coming out Michael. As a gay black man myself you have been a source of great inspiration to me. (I've also nutted over your face on an album cover, I think it was the Chocolate Highway one, you know, the shit one). Anyway, I don't like the direction your music is going - generic pop trash, but still if it makes you happy then fine. Peace out.

This song keeps me going every day. Motivates me to push thru all pitfalls

Great message,love the beat and lyrics! We could all learn from one another...Michael Franti is inspiring.

worry too 

“NEVER GIVE UP
No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends
But to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up”

Yes we need to feel more&think less...the longest journey you will ever take in your life is from your head to your heart 💜

2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity!”) • “Respect and dignity, 2019?”

That's Powerful.

💕☺️😓

I REFUSE to give up! Thanks for your inspiration!

Takes a village to raise a child and takes a world of people united to make a change. One toothpick is broken easily, a bundle of 50, not so easy, unite to make a change, my grandchildren's lives are counting on all you good people, make a change.
