I heard this song for the first time yesterday during a soundcheck for another band. The sound guy played it to test the PA and it sounded amazing. I had never even heard of Ben Harper. I have found a new favorite...
“By the time I put out my second record called Fight for Your Mind in 1995, we had an actual video budget in the contract! When we found this out, JP and I looked at each other and said, ‘Skateboarding!’ As a kid who grew up obsessed with skating and music, for me to be able to bring those two together, and with skating legends Lance Mountain, Salba, and Jeff Grosso all skating in my f-king video, for me it couldn’t get much better. I can never thank those guys enough for laying it down the way they did in that video. With Lance Accord filming, it was nuts.” - Ben in an interview with Transworld Skateboarding
Ben Harper is loved in my country, maybe you are from the USA, where commercialism means more than talent. Ben Harper has been very popular here since Fight For Your Mind was released.
Saw him play in 2001, not my first ever gig but the first I’d ever saved up money and bought my own ticket for. Still listening and will always be grateful for the experience of seeing this live
2024 July 1st.. The message is the same - God bless Ben Harper! Keep on preaching.. People struggle hard with what's right and wrong. And pay attention people!.. The devil prey on us more than ever
There will now be a lot more "Shares" of this now since Jeff Grosso has now sadly departed. God Bless Skateboarders everywhere and all those in isolation. Thanks Ben Harper and all those who skate the Life...RIP Grosso. Love and Peace
First time I saw Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals was at the Supper Club in NYC in October ‘95. Primordial Source opened the show and set it off. I distinctly remember Ben Doing a cover of “Get up Stand Up”. One of the greatest shows of my life. Maybe 100-150 people there in that tiny space Rest in Power Juan Nelson
All I knew about music when I was like 6 or 7 was the Backstreet Boys and stuff then I saw this for the first time on TV... man.. I was completely entranced. Still gives me chills.
As all very Professional people say the more I study, Practice or play, the more luckier I've become You get out of life, What You put into it Please take very good care of Yourselves Cheers from Ollie from Down Under

As a kid I loved seeing people who looked me making "other" music. Almost 30 years later it still sounds fresh. Ben Harper forever!

The live from Mars concert is a clinic in how to be awesome

Seattle...thrilled to have seen live.
Genius Ben Harper. And the bass. Coming here from Tim Ferris.
Woah - Tim Tim Talk Talk?!! In what context did he reference this massive song?!
90's good times
I’ve never heard this song before, I listen to a lot of music. The song grabbed me in the first 10 seconds
The best of bens songs
one of my favorites, gotta turn this one up.
Just looked this up feeling nostalgic about my 411 vhs from around junior high.
why ben harper is so underrated??? He's a genius!
Poor marketing and exposure.
Genius is often overlooked when it’s happening. He’s always been way ahead of his time

Findlay Mangan just curious, where are you from?
@@hippiemama4ezmt New Zealand
When this came out in 95 it was was a real revelation: Ben and his slide guitar are magic
Saw him play in 2001, not my first ever gig but the first I’d ever saved up money and bought my own ticket for. Still listening and will always be grateful for the experience of seeing this live
Just might be the funkiest shit ever. I love Ben Harper but i wish he had more songs like this one.
Epic beard too.
2024 July 1st.. The message is the same - God bless Ben Harper! Keep on preaching.. People struggle hard with what's right and wrong. And pay attention people!.. The devil prey on us more than ever
I just bought a lap steel and this is the first non-Chicago-blues tune I absolutely must learn. Love this song so much!
23 or so years later omg ... GORGEOUS!!! ❤
Good Music , mighty fine player, glad I found this today.
AMAZING...............I LOVE SKATERS AND I'M CRAZY ABOUT HIS SONGS AND I LOVE ALSO HIM....SO MUCH
I like your music and presence since day 1 I first heard you many years ago -enjoy to sing your music too -thank you for all
I make your words as mine
There will now be a lot more "Shares" of this now since Jeff Grosso has now sadly departed. God Bless Skateboarders everywhere and all those in isolation. Thanks Ben Harper and all those who skate the Life...RIP Grosso. Love and Peace

Everything Ben Harper does is pure gold, but I have always wished he would experiment with more stuff like this. It's so good.
Ben Harper singer by day, laser flips at night
This is such an awesome song Wow
I remember seeing this in a 411 VHS tape when I was a kid. Remembered every bit of this song since. 🤙🤙🤙
Same man. 411VM 10. 😎
Great tune. Another good one from Ben.
Love the final frame.
Un morceau de plus qui déchire toujours autant même si son origine temporelle nous rappelle le temps qui a passé. C'est d'la balle !
+Nathalie Nogues mon père m'a transmis Ben Harper ^^
@@zak203c'est un don inestimable 😻

Great job with that steel guitar! Fire

Why did I not know of this tune before? Freakin awesome.
That is getting deep
He was very lucky to play with these musicians
As all very Professional people say the more I study, Practice or play, the more luckier I've become

Best lyrics, tune and skateboarding music video ever. Pennywise's Same Old Story is in a similar league.
Ih I had to name only one thing I love from Ben Harper, I will be his voice. If I had to name 2, it will be his groove.
The house cleaning music of the day...
Never been that good at skateboarding 🛹 but I always appreciated the skill & the care-free attitude.

Luv me some fuckin MR BEN HARPER. CLOSEST THING TO HENDRIX. IN OUR LIFETIME ANYWAY.

+Rinomo Morris I think you are right !
+1trumasta Innovation is way cooler than immitation and i think he has it just as Hendrix did
Rinomo Morris
never thought of this...
Thank YOU XXXOOO
if you think Ben Harper is anything like Hendrix, then you are fucking deaf bro.
This slaps
Open C slide, CGCGCE. Mostly played on the CGC below the high E. 12\-2/3-/5-10/11 is the main riff. Simple but so fucking good.
Thanks man!
