When I was in my pre-teens, my mom was a big fan of Michael Franti. She saw him live twice, and I went with both times. He ended the shows with this song, and invited all the kids in the audience to come up on stage with him while he sang this one. Just from that alone, this dude strikes me as genuinely being every bit as cool as he seems. The world could use more people like him.
This is exactly the energy this brother needed tonight Paying it forward in real time to my family in time of need Magic is real and right on time Thank you
Hi Michael!! I wanted to tell you something that really meant a lot to me. About 10 years ago, my Dad was in hospice care for quite sometime from a stroke and an aortic aneurism. I played this song for him and he smiled, grabbed my hand, closed his eyes and took his last breath. I cant thank you enough. Id give you anything because you helped him release his pain and die as happy as he could. I love you bro. I wish to meet you someday. I hipe so so much
This song popped in my head the other day. And I can't get it out of my head. It's so good. And so cheerful. I remember this on the radio and on Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chiprwrecked. Why can't we get music like this again?
I feel like it's bc nobody knows the title. Shit was a hassle to find. I knew the lyrics but not the title of the song lol 105 million people listen to this song on Spotify
I have been trying to remember this song for YEARS and I just woke up at 4 am with it stuck in my head. This song came out when I was 6 and I absolutely loved it, I always had it playing on my IPod. Reminds me so much of being a happy little kid
I saw Michael Franti like in 2010 when he and the Spearheads opened for John Mayer in Birmingham, Alabama and they were so wonderful. Such a FUN band!!! ❤️🎶🎸😊💕
My dad and I used to sing this together when I was younger and life was simple ❤️ we were poor but it didn’t matter because I had my dad and he had me and we had the most fun singing these songs while fishing ❤️❤️
I started playing this song 15 years ago all the time to my kids, always turning up the volume and blasting it every time and now 15 years later my son is away in the army and asked me to send the lyrics to this song to him so he can sing it and get others to join and think of me… Xoxoxo 🥰
This is more than a song. This is a message saying hey your gonna see some things throughout this life you're not going to understand, and that's okay, I love you ❤️
I just randomly stumbled upon this guy at Jazz Fest playing. I never heard of him before, but he was awesome. I had heard this song before, but I never knew it was by some guy who I didn’t know. His music is so motivational tho and I feel like we need more people like him. The world would be a better place, I think we can all agree on that.
A great song, I feel uplifted whenever I listen to this song, I may be part of the younger generation but I wish the songs nowadays would have more meaning, this song showcases love perfect.
This has been one of my favorites for years, and frankly I relate more to those it's meant for than those who look like me. I wish the world could just come together without stereotypes; music is for everyone, equally, no exceptions.

i love how this song featured at Melissa Bannon and Ben Rafter's Wedding Reception in the Season 2 episode of Packed To The Rafters entitled "A Small Traditional Affiar" :) its such a catchy song
I love this song, and I even love the 7 people (at the time of this comment) that gave this song a thumbs down 👎🏽. I love them more cause they need it most.
O.k. I heard this playing in the supermarket last week. I had my smart phone look it up. Great song and underappreciated. But, also it has a vibe similar to Iko Iko. But, this song is better. I would like to hear a mashup

Brasil 🇧🇷
That’s what I just said in the comment I posted a few minutes ago. The world could be a better place with more people like him.
Yeah I went and danced with him when I was 7
amazing
I just love Michael Franti's music and his wife and son.
“The more I see the less I know”. Brilliant.
This guy is brilliant.
This is exactly the energy this brother needed tonight
Paying it forward in real time to my family in time of need
Magic is real and right on time
Thank you

How does this not have a million views? It's audio sunshine!
Can't believe this song came out 15 years ago. Still love it
Came here after watching Valentine’s Day. I love this song!
They use to play this song on mtv in the morning when I was a kid. Really brings back memories💯
Such a hidden gem! Love this song so much!
This song popped in my head the other day. And I can't get it out of my head. It's so good. And so cheerful. I remember this on the radio and on Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chiprwrecked. Why can't we get music like this again?
Same, this was my jam. My favorite part is about the mama saying dont lose you, cause the best luck I had was you. I love my kids ❤
Alvin and the chipmunks always pick the best songs for the soundtracks 🔥🔥
Lmao no
I don’t remember the chipmunks
That would be great
That’s so easy tho
Just fast-forward
Surely you have VCR
I played this song 15 years ago to a girl I just met lol 15 years later we are still together !! I knew I loved her the first minute I saw her❤❤
Ahh peckerwood! So sweet
I met my life man a month ago and we're moving together and a legit life. This is the ringtone i set for him when he calls.
I’m surprised this song doesn’t have millions of views
Nah, it deserves billions.
This is one of those songs where it's like "this has to have at least 100m views" but nope. Here we are
Less is betta we know what we know 🤙🏽
i know it's sorta crazy, they was playing this in big parks like Kings Dominion all the time in like 2010-2011
I feel like it's bc nobody knows the title. Shit was a hassle to find. I knew the lyrics but not the title of the song lol 105 million people listen to this song on Spotify
Swears
I been jamming this for over a decade. It's wild more people don't know this gem.
This should have over 1 billion views🥲
The lyrics and video is real AF. THANK YOU MICHAEL AND SPEARHEAD
Everytime I hear this song I feel free and joy
If I don't get married to this song, I don't want a wedding!! I love this song!
update us
Update.
LOL I love this comment..
Now words and letters don't get wrong idea...... LOL SE7EN CHRIST
Michael franti
This was the song we walked out of the ceremony to at our wedding in 2014
I have been trying to remember this song for YEARS and I just woke up at 4 am with it stuck in my head. This song came out when I was 6 and I absolutely loved it, I always had it playing on my IPod. Reminds me so much of being a happy little kid
I saw Michael Franti like in 2010 when he and the Spearheads opened for John Mayer in Birmingham, Alabama and they were so wonderful. Such a FUN band!!! ❤️🎶🎸😊💕
Finally!!!! I found it !!! Tears of joy 🥲

Same here. I feel pure joy to have found this after a long time.
I forgot about this song so refreshing to hear it again 👏🏼
My dad and I used to sing this together when I was younger and life was simple ❤️ we were poor but it didn’t matter because I had my dad and he had me and we had the most fun singing these songs while fishing ❤️❤️
That's really cool!
Bless you and your Dad.
this song brings back memories
This has been my feel good or better song for years. Can'tst still. Need more songs like this.
Likewise. I can’t help but feel good when listening to this song. I sing this song out loud to my daughters. This is one of my feel good songs 🙌🏼
This song deserves so much more attention
I chose this song to be played after I got married, brought bigger smiles to loads of faces
Warmest memories of the hubs dancing our little baby girl all around...her head thrown back in that fabulous little baby cackle!
I started playing this song 15 years ago all the time to my kids, always turning up the volume and blasting it every time and now 15 years later my son is away in the army and asked me to send the lyrics to this song to him so he can sing it and get others to join and think of me… Xoxoxo 🥰
Love Michael Franti...hes fantastic live. This song always makes me happy 😅
i heard this song when i was a kid. Never gets old
This is more than a song. This is a message saying hey your gonna see some things throughout this life you're not going to understand, and that's okay, I love you ❤️

Love this tune. I have been known to scream out the "Baby Girl" part wherever it may be playing. Hahaha
It is one of the greatest songs! Always on my playlist!
I actually just seen this man perform tonight at a concert in Pittsburgh him and his band had such and amazing vibe so positive and and kind!!
This has been one of my favorites for years, and frankly I relate more to those it's meant for than those who look like me. I wish the world could just come together without stereotypes; music is for everyone, equally, no exceptions.
I ran the spotlight for his show in Indy. It was a great show!

Come down selector
Hey
Uh-huh
Woah, woah
That's right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Here we go) Uh-huh, uh-huh
This one goes out to you and yours, worldwide...
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way (uh-huh)
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (one thing)
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
(It's true)
I've been a lot of places all around the way (yeah)
I seen a lot of joy and I seen a lot of pain
But I don't want to write a love song for the world
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down, well, I hope it was you
And when I look into your eyes I knew it was true
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way (uh-huh)
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (one thing)
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
(Haha)
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can (okay)
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you (woah)
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don't lose you
'Cause the best luck I had was you (true)
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way (woah)
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (one thing)
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
And I say, rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you (woah)
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
I say, hey poppa (cha) hey poppa (cha) kick off your shoes
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you (woah)
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say, hey momma, hey momma (hey), hey momma (hey), hey momma (hey), hey momma (hey), hey momma (hey), hey momma (hey), hey momma (hey)
Whatcha gonna do?
My momma told me don't lose you
'Cause the best luck I had was you (ah)
And I know one thing
That I love you
(Ah) I say hey, I'll be gone today (okay)
But I'll be back all around the way (you promise?)
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know (I know) one thing (one thing)
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you (uh-huh, uh-huh)
I love you (hey), I love you (hey), I love you (hey, hey) (rocking in the dance hall moving with you)
I love you (yeah), I love you (yeah), I love you (yeah, yeah) (it's true, it's true)
I love you (ha), I love you (ha), I love you (uh-huh)
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
(I say, hey poppa, hey poppa)
Hey momma, hey momma
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
(Come on, hey poppa, hey poppa)
Hey momma, hey momma
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you...
