This man could have been a big big star but he didn't sell out like other people have. I'm bit lost for words when it comes to explaining Michael but saying he's a living legend comes close. There really is no BS with him, it's all good vibes and love. Thanks for posting.
I've been deeply lucky to see Michael Franti and Spearhead a few times in my life. One time in particular stands out in my mind when he was touring in Melbourne, he did a signing at a record store. He was giving a hug to each of his fans, whoever they were that came up. I was at the end of a line that stretched out and around the block. When I got there I got a hug of this huge dreadlocked and exhausted guy with a gentle smile on his face. This guy just radiates good vibes. His music, his personality, his politics all resonate. Total legend.
This....Whoa...so Glad I could find this.... made my day and days to come... Awakening Light ! 💜 Lyrics ! Wisdom ! Glory to God ! 🥰🙏🏻🥰 Ever ever meaningful and thoughtful track of the Music history !
If i had the chance to work with this man on a song it would be the greatest thing ever....i first heard this song in 2001...i was 11, im 21 now and still this song inspires me....
Absolutely stunning! Just ordered a couple of albums! Still have my Disposable Heroes album in my collection. He is right up there with GSH!! God bless you!

This is a really long shot.. I first heard this song as an acapella about 10 years ago but cannot find a copy anywhere. If anyone knows what I'm talking about can they help me? Cheers 😍👍
Someone kindly want to further express to me the meaning behind, theres a hole in the bucket, I do have my thoughts on it, just want another opinion lol.

(Money Money Money Money Nothin But
Money)
I work 9 to 5 but it starts in the P.M.
and I love the sunrise so I step out in the A.M.
the street is black and shiny from the early
nightly rainin'
the glory of the light it brings evaporation
morning's fresh oxygen cleanest
I take a deep hit help my mind stay the greenest
I'm already wake so I'm not drinkin' coffee
don't want to cigarrette, 'cause it's a form of slavery
walk into the store 'cause I need a few items
the sun heats the blood like a hit of vitamins
needa buy some food and some 'poo for my dreads
can't remember why but I need a spool of thread
Man with dirty dreads, steps around the comer
he asks me for a dime, a nickel or a quarter
I don't have any change so I'm steppin' along
and as I'm walkin' past he sings to me a song...
There's a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear
liza...(repeat)
The day is pickin' up cause I'm hummin' his song
the buses and the people all keep movin' along
to the shopkeeper I say "was'sup?"
and I'm thinkin' about the man who's holdin' up the cup
I pay for all the stuff and get a pocketful of change
should I give it to the man's the question in my brain
What's gonna happen if I give the man a dime?
I don't want to pay for anotha brotha's wine
What's gonna happen if I give the man a quarter?
will he find a dealer and try to place an order?
what's gonna happen if I give the man a nickel
will he buy some food or some pork that's been pickled?
I'm not responsible for the man's depression
how can I find compassion in the midst of recession?
How come all these questions keep fuckin' with my head
and I still can't rememba why I need a spool of thread.
There's a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear
liza...(repeat)
He's starin' in my eyes just as I'm walkin' past
I'm tryin to avoid him cause I know he's gonna ask
me about the coinage that is in my pocket
But I don't know if I should put it in his bucket
walk right past him to think about it more
back at the crib I'm openin' up the door
a pocketful of change it don't mean a lot to me
my cup is half full but his is empty
I put back on my cap and I start headin' back
I reach into my pocket and I have a heart attack
well as I'm diggin' deep I scream "oh no!"
there's nothin' in the pocket but a great big hole
While I was busy thinkin' if he would buy smack
the jingle in my pocket it slipped through the cracks
no one has the change and it's fuckin' up my head
But now I no the reason why I had to buy the thread!
There's a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear
liza...(repeat)
It's actually good, I like it ;D
❤
Michael Franti is my Bob Dylan.
i need a dose of bleach

I really want some cheerios, i don't have to go far
It's raining outside, so i jumped in the car
Got a '93 civic, the bodyworks a mess
Bought it off a man that was wearing a dress
His real name was Frank, but he said "Call me Brenda"
"It only needs a respray, it wont cost much to mend her"
