    This was played at my son's birth. 🙏✨️
    It was glorious, amazing, and beautiful.
    He is healthy, happy, and strong. He is a grown man now. I am so proud of him.
    He has dedicated himself to a cause he believes in, which helps, supports, and encourages. I love him. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    "Better Way"
    I'm a living sunset
    Lightning in my bones
    Push me to the edge
    But my will is stone
    Fools will be fools
    And wise will be wise
    But i will look this world
    Straight in the eyes
    What good is a man
    Who won't take a stand
    What good is a cynic
    With no better plan
    Reality is sharp
    It cuts at me like a knife
    Everyone i know
    Is in the fight of their life
    Take your face out of your hands
    And clear your eyes
    You have a right to your dreams
    And don't be denied
    I believe in a better way

    "What Good is a man that Won't make a stand?"
    I believe! Caught this one on my way to work and played it three times...It being Good Friday...got me at the right moment.
    Harper has got a song for so many different emotions and experiences. My all time favorite musician. For me, So few can tap into hidden energy like Harper.

    If you ever get a chance, go check out the music shop where this was filmed in Claremont California. Ben's grandfather started it up, and it's still one of my favorite places to visit and find unique musical instruments. I went in there when I was a kid and Ben Harper was playing a didgeridoo. I talked to him for a bit and he taught me how to play it. Great guy, Great family.
