This was my wife's fight song, after 5 battles with cancer we lost our fight thank you Michael Franti for getting us through her fight she loved your songs we would listen to this every morning before her chemo treatments I will always cherish this song God bless my wife Denine and you Michael Franti
Bless you both. Music is so powerful, remember the good times, the strong times and the happy times. May your wife be resting in peace, listening to the sound of sunshine ❤
You are welcome. This phase of your life shall be over soon. Remain courageous Bob Marley 'Three little birds' and Bill Withers 'Lovely day' are songs you might also like to get through the day with.
I met Michael yesterday by chance on a random street corner. He was the nicest man, shook my hand, remembered my name, and told me to have a good day. It’s so encouraging to meet celebrities who are genuinely good people!
I Couldn't agree more with your comment & I'm right there with you!! 😊 If people spread love & positive energy ⛮ instead of all the hate & negativity today, Imagine what a Wonderful World it could be??!! ✌️❤😊
A couple of years ago, this song got me through some really tough times. Every time I heard it, I felt immediately better. Thank you for being a a rainbow after my storm!
God bless to everyone reading this.. i wish and hope and pray for each of you to receive huge blessings and miracles.. you are an incredible person that deserves wonderful things in your life... i give only love, hope and joy in your direction forever and ever
This song has helped me to overcome so many things and realize that life is positive when you want it to be. Thank you Michael Franti for being such an inspiration to me
@@intergalactic_fruitbody Franti was born 9 yrs before Johnson, and Franti had a version of his track *SOMETIMES* on the old movie *Mystery Men Soundtrack in 1999.* Johnson's first track was released nearly a year later, and his first album was released in 2001. How miserable is your entire existence that you're angry about songs that make others feel happy and positive? Get a grip, because it is now 2021. Which is just 8 months after that comment, so I hope your life has improved.
Used to hear this tune all the time in the grocery store I used to work at. Glad I found it again after thinking about it. Put a big smile on my face hearing it again
Franti fan....and its been years. Lyrics spot on, and so relatable. Michael saw me through raising three great kids as a single, struggling mom. And many years later, I share his music with my young adult children. Sound of sunshine. Thank you Michael!
OMG! Saw him at Rifflandia, Victoria BC on Friday night!! He was AMAZING!!! Everyone was dancing and singing!! So much joy....and a huge bonus, I got to meet him and got a photo with him! Best birthday present ever:)
Came here during quarantine because I needed some more positivity in my life! Thank you for coming out with so many amazing songs, your concerts are awesome too! Stay safe everyone, we will get through this! 🌊👍
Dear brother Michael I met you at the National in Richmond Va several years ago I was there with my daughter This was the song that went straight to my soul ty 😊 You bring people together through your words what a gift Family is everything and we are all Family Hallelujah Hallelujah You are truly Joy to the world 😊
I saw all your comments and you all share a bond. As I do. Music is healing. And Michael is added to the many artists that we all love. Inspirational, makes us dance and turns our woes into sunshine when we hear it
You bring the sunshine to so many! I can't wait to see you in concert this Friday! I've been a fan since at least 2010. You have helped me through death, divorce, cancer, surgery, and depression.
Christopher Michaels I totally get that. Our granddaughter was almost 4 when she caught cancer... For the 2nd time. Franti & black humor got everyone through it. Michael Franti literally kept people from getting beaten if not killed. The utter rage you feel, watching a baby go through something like that, if ya haven't been there you can't comprehend. God bless Michael Franti
Of course it is! I have really good memories of a love affair in Venice, CA in the '70s. I hope it's still the same unique and soulful place now after all these years, but it will always be in my dreams.
I only learned of this song about 2-3 years ago and it is the BEST (along with Say Hey I love you)! This one brought me through the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria that destroyed our beloved St. John, USVI. The first time I took the ferry over when we were allowed to return after the storms, I had this in my earbuds and I was in tears of joy.
I love the silence of the morning Before todays weather warning Climate change it's underscoring Our world is slowly transforming But Toady the Sunshine is Adoring
This guy opened for santana, and I went to the concert early with my dad so we got to see him perform, he was awesome! Lots of enthusiasm and charisma, really nice guy too (:
Music is great...but sometimes one song is healing. Someone said it....."makes my soul happy" this is a reminder.....as to who I was....who I am. I see you...youre coming back. And things will be better than you have ever imagined them to be. Be patient..be grateful and keep going.
"They say that miracles are never ceasin', and every single soul needs a little releasin' The stereo bumpin' till the sun goes down, and I only want to hear that sound... And that's the sound of sunshine coming down" My favorite part of the song right here :)
I listened to this laying in a hammock at dawn in Mexico last week. I could see the sunrise over the ocean and I could hear the waves in the background.... It was perfect.
this song was on the radio 4 years ago when my friend drove us to the beach. it was 10am and the breeze felt so nice with the sun rays on your skin. everything sucks now.
It's the tough times that show us what we're made of. Affirm the life you want and soak in Michael Franti and everything positive you can find, like attracts like my friend, and you are not alone! I love you!
I just happen to know that a multinational has bought the underground of my farm down in Ecuador, and will mine my way of bringing sun in this life. Michael, thank you to share this ray of sunshine that I'am loosing.
So cool! Glad u choose the guitar to share your talent. Almost good as my nephew Gary on the guitar (R.I.P. 09-07-15). This song should be #1! Inspiring enjoying life on the ocean with an acoustic! So Cool.
I heard your song play on CBC Radio Radio morning show earlier this morning...East Coast Canada weather report for today is sunny skies and warm temperatures! And then this song brought light to my day about 7:15 AM 🌅🏞🧡
According to the news last night we have seen sunshine two days this month, and I'm pretty sure they weren't full days. Thank you, for bringing it to me through your music.
It really sucks how underrated Mike Frantti He’s got tons of good songs I guess they never got traction it’s been months sense you released a song much less an album. Please MORE MUSIC
Micheal, I've been listening to you for a long time. I love your music. I'm not sure I believe in your beliefs. I think we share a few. Love will win. Understanding out weighs being understood. You have given me years of great music, and I love you for that.
Oct 2024. Recovering from hip replacement, one week into recovery and playing my happy music. I feel so much better after having such a very sick hip for 5 years.
Everyday on my way to school with my sister my mom would always play this song and his music in the car and she called it “happy music” this song brings back so many memories and makes me feel happy
I heard this song when I was on holiday in Italy, and I heard it on the radio! Such a great great summersong! This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down, keep it up Michael Franti you're making beautiful music!
Nice song. Never heard of Michael Franti, just stumbled across him while I was searching for Michael Franks. Thought what the heck, I'll give this one a listen. I'm glad that I did!
I rediscovered this song even though I never knew who the artist was. The name of the song somewhat familiar. I’m glad to find this song and is being added to my playlist. Sadly It took me 10 plus years since the song was released finding out. Great find!

I'm in hospital recovering from a stroke. Asked friends for music the help me recover this was one of the suggestions. It's great
Hope you have a speedy and peaceful recovery!
Deckonti Tiah thanx so much
Hey Chris, I wish you a speedy recovery. Listen to 'Hey hey hey' if you haven't done so, you will like it as well.
keelecie thanks good song after a hard night of pain
You are welcome. This phase of your life shall be over soon. Remain courageous
Bob Marley 'Three little birds' and Bill Withers 'Lovely day' are songs you might also like to get through the day with.
I met Michael yesterday by chance on a random street corner. He was the nicest man, shook my hand, remembered my name, and told me to have a good day. It’s so encouraging to meet celebrities who are genuinely good people!
If we all listened to this each morning, every day, what a better world it would be. I'll start with me.
I agree
Love your comment! Stay blessed
I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there
Guess I am to
I Couldn't agree more with your comment & I'm right there with you!! 😊
If people spread love & positive energy ⛮ instead of all the hate & negativity today, Imagine what a Wonderful World it could be??!!
✌️❤😊
A couple of years ago, this song got me through some really tough times. Every time I heard it, I felt immediately better. Thank you for being a a rainbow after my storm!
💚💚💚 I hope you’re still going strong 💚💚💚
His music is getting me through life right now…. 💜🙏🏻
Great to have that connection to something especially when life is quite going in the direction that we had hoped for.. ❤️💪🙏🏻
God bless to everyone reading this.. i wish and hope and pray for each of you to receive huge blessings and miracles.. you are an incredible person that deserves wonderful things in your life... i give only love, hope and joy in your direction forever and ever
Thank you so much
This song is such a beautiful gift to the world.. thank you God for this song

puppyinabox Agreed!

Listened to this song constantly in my parents Jeep when I was little. Got my license and the Jeep today and this is the first thing I played.
Awesome
thas legendary.
The is very beautiful !! 🫶🏼💚🔥
Love it ❤ it's a vibe
I actually got to meet him, and he gave me his collection of guitar pics signed by him
Same

very cool...
Same. I was one if the kids pulled onto the stage. Memories man... Memories...
He is a very sweet man. I met him to!
This song has helped me to overcome so many things and realize that life is positive when you want it to be. Thank you Michael Franti for being such an inspiration to me
There needs to be more songs like this.
no, there needs to be less songs like other songs. especially like this jack johnson trash.
This honestly gives me some _Curious George: The Movie_ vibes for some reason.
@@intergalactic_fruitbody Jack Johnson’s good we need less trash like Billie Eillish
@@intergalactic_fruitbody Franti was born 9 yrs before Johnson, and Franti had a version of his track *SOMETIMES* on the old movie *Mystery Men Soundtrack in 1999.*
Johnson's first track was released nearly a year later, and his first album was released in 2001.

I totally agree there needs to be more songs like this
Butt-freezing cold in Baltimore today. Dreaming of a tropical situation! Love and light to all!
He is so fantastic to see live. He's inspirational and his positivity is infectious. If you get the opportunity to see one of his shows, do it!
I saw him this year, outdoor show very small venue, absolutely inspiring, the love was BIG BIG , lol I agree with you totally !!!
Saw Michael Franti perform at a club in SF back in '92. He rocked it, brought down the house, he was destined to bring joy to humans
This song brings me hope in the troubled times we all are experiencing. To answer Jimi Hendrix's question- yes, your soul is experienced.
Essa foi em mais ou menos em 2011 2012 qdo escutei pela primeira vez. Essa liberdade... 🎉
Happiest song I've heard in a long time. I need it today.
He has a lot of positive music!
Used to hear this tune all the time in the grocery store I used to work at. Glad I found it again after thinking about it. Put a big smile on my face hearing it again
music is the softest weapon in the world,
hit yourself with music.
Nice quote. I'm stealing it.
Hits myself with a guitar
Softest but hits you like a truck! Lol!!!✌✌✌
To quote Bob Marley...One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. (Trenchtown Rock)
Truth!!!
I love this song so much. 😊
Franti fan....and its been years. Lyrics spot on, and so relatable. Michael saw me through raising three great kids as a single, struggling mom. And many years later, I share his music with my young adult children. Sound of sunshine. Thank you Michael!
My son Sean just sent this to me. I am so blessed and grateful. Thank you God.
OMG! Saw him at Rifflandia, Victoria BC on Friday night!! He was AMAZING!!! Everyone was dancing and singing!! So much joy....and a huge bonus, I got to meet him and got a photo with him! Best birthday present ever:)
It's impossible to frown when listening to this song, unless it's the end. Another amazing piece by Michael.
The whole world needs to listen to this simultaneously.
2024 anyone?
Love this song! Can't help but to feel better after listening to it!
SeansTubeNow same
We need more happy music like this, not just sad depressing music or love music
This man got me over my Mother’s death in 2009…..still love him, his wife and son!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👏
Wow. I have the honor of being his security
Came here during quarantine because I needed some more positivity in my life! Thank you for coming out with so many amazing songs, your concerts are awesome too! Stay safe everyone, we will get through this! 🌊👍
This song turns even the darkest days around...thank you for putting out music like this! I can feel the sounds of sunshine.
Dear brother Michael I met you at the National in Richmond Va several years ago I was there with my daughter This was the song that went straight to my soul ty 😊 You bring people together through your words what a gift Family is everything and we are all Family Hallelujah Hallelujah You are truly Joy to the world 😊
2021 December. God bless no ads.
I saw all your comments and you all share a bond. As I do. Music is healing. And Michael is added to the many artists that we all love. Inspirational, makes us dance and turns our woes into sunshine when we hear it
Heard this song on an obscure radio station today and immediately had to hear it again.. hate I’m so late to the party but love ❤️ this song now...😎
Do you know what obscure means?
Seeing him live in a few days! Can't wait!
When my first grandchild was born- this was our favorite dance song. Oh how I love that little girl💕
😍
You bring the sunshine to so many! I can't wait to see you in concert this Friday! I've been a fan since at least 2010. You have helped me through death, divorce, cancer, surgery, and depression.
Pretty cool song.. nice melody to it. very positive and upbeat.. well done Michael Franti!
Christopher Michaels I totally get that. Our granddaughter was almost 4 when she caught cancer... For the 2nd time. Franti & black humor got everyone through it. Michael Franti literally kept people from getting beaten if not killed. The utter rage you feel, watching a baby go through something like that, if ya haven't been there you can't comprehend.

Soul surfer was such a good movie
Minha Música De Verão
This looks so much like Santa Cruz! This song is such good medicine in long winter days with no glimpse of the Sun.
+Joy Wilder It's Venice. :)
Of course it is! I have really good memories of a love affair in Venice, CA in the '70s. I hope it's still the same unique and soulful place now after all these years, but it will always be in my dreams.
❤❤❤♾♾♾☀️☀️☀️ yay I found you again....my energy.....
Michael franti got me through covid lockdown and work, and depression!!
I only learned of this song about 2-3 years ago and it is the BEST (along with Say Hey I love you)! This one brought me through the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria that destroyed our beloved St. John, USVI. The first time I took the ferry over when we were allowed to return after the storms, I had this in my earbuds and I was in tears of joy.
It's -40 where I live.....freaking cold.... This makes me smile and remember that the sun shines always when it is this cold here!
I love the silence of the morning
Before todays weather warning
Climate change it's underscoring
Our world is slowly transforming
But Toady the Sunshine is Adoring
"Don't be shy - hug a black guy" ... I love his smile :) Consider yourself hugged, dear friend I haven't met yet!
This song gives me beach vibes! Miss being in the Caribbean! Never heard of this song until this year and I love this song!
This guy opened for santana, and I went to the concert early with my dad so we got to see him perform, he was awesome! Lots of enthusiasm and charisma, really nice guy too (:
Music is great...but sometimes one song is healing. Someone said it....."makes my soul happy" this is a reminder.....as to who I was....who I am. I see you...youre coming back. And things will be better than you have ever imagined them to be. Be patient..be grateful and keep going.
Music is our expression of the soul. This song is humanity's manifestation of hope for a better tomorrow.
"They say that miracles are never ceasin',
and every single soul needs a little releasin'
The stereo bumpin' till the sun goes down, and I only want to hear that sound...

I can proudly say this song plays at my work every day and It makes my day! :D
First time I heard this song. I like it.

I used to listen to this song with my former step-dad, this song gives me great vibes and reminds me of the memories. Thank You Micheal 🙏🏽❤
This song feels so good. If it doesn't change your mood nothing will.
No sorry I am happy married
@Nick Adams no sorry I am happily married
I'm sure my husband would just love that.
According to the news last night we have seen sunshine two days this month, and I'm pretty sure they weren't full days. Thank you, for bringing it to me through your music.
Michael Franti is a bright light! so inspiring

Hey I love
Wow, this is such an old comment.
It really sucks how underrated Mike Frantti He’s got tons of good songs I guess they never got traction it’s been months sense you released a song much less an album. Please MORE MUSIC
No need for anti-depression pills, this song works for any bad mood or day.
Thank you Micheal!! The world needs a musician like you, please keep spreading this sunshine everywhere you go.
Nice songs, they make me happy

Oct 2024. Recovering from hip replacement, one week into recovery and playing my happy music. I feel so much better after having such a very sick hip for 5 years.
Me and my dad in like 2014 listened to this and now it’s our song.🙃

This makes me really happy :)
Your songs are the BESTEST Michael! It was SO COOL to see you at Worldfest!! Love, Juniper age 6
I wish modern music still had this level of chill...
OMG I love this artist. Makes me feel good.
I hadn't realised how many great songs you have until I decided to watch Life is better with you. Way to go mate. Thank you.
If this song doesn't get someone in a positive, happy mood, something's wrong!
I heard this in a Bar I liked what I heard. Now it's on my Play list.
✌️😎 🌞
Playing this song all the way up with my windows open introducing my neighbors to good music 😋😛❤️❤️❤️
I heard this song when I was on holiday in Italy, and I heard it on the radio! Such a great great summersong! This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down, keep it up Michael Franti you're making beautiful music!
saw this man on the Bill Maher Show via HBO Demand. I then went to RUclips...Awesome, just Awesome!
Nice song. Never heard of Michael Franti, just stumbled across him while I was searching for Michael Franks. Thought what the heck, I'll give this one a listen. I'm glad that I did!
I danced to this song when I was 6 years old. The nostalgia is hitting me hard 🥺
I rediscovered this song even though I never knew who the artist was. The name of the song somewhat familiar. I’m glad to find this song and is being added to my playlist. Sadly It took me 10 plus years since the song was released finding out. Great find!
This a beautiful song...cheers me up on the worst days :)
Super song!
