I will always love this song. ❤️❤️❤️💥 Today Spirit told me to go back and listen to this song that I love so much. 🙏🛐❤️💎🔥 Thank you Ben for this beauty
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.
I WILL make a flash mob singing and performing this song with millions of people. I will honor Ben Harper’s passion and the seeds he HAS planted in so many. ❤❤❤Love ❤you you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"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.
For all you who have just or recently found.Go to the very beginning.Go forward!You cannae go wrong with Ben.Some believe he is god himself,I believe he's the closest thing we got.AYE!!CHEERS!!DredHed.
Shayna Lane start with old school and leave Jack Johnson out! haha literally covers highs lows, death to birth, light to dark, lake or mountains, nightmares to dreams, everyone in this world can put a song with a memory
*La réalité est tranchante Elle me coupe autant qu'un couteau Chacun de vous je sais Est dans la bataille de leur vie Et je crois en une meilleure voie...
Unfortunately, that would require hard work and perhaps some soul searching. It appears that most would prefer to act like overgrown children....Sad really.

Man I love this dude We attended concert in cleveland and was blown away It was like a dead concert in a way. One of the best times me and the wife had.What an artist and a spokesman for a new gereration.....
May 25th 2022, and yesterday 19 children and 2 Teachers were murdered in yet another tragic school shooting 🥺🤬. This world is so fucked up, but I will never give up trying to create positive change✊🏻. I still " Believe In a Better Way." Thanks Ben!
I relate to this song so much :) "A better way" Direct your passion to help yourself and humanity and uplift the world :). Sometimes it's the small things that count. Because small things always lead to big things :).
@@seethoseareyourtearsman.1758 My statement in no way implies that. Perhaps you should educate yourself in logic and clean the filters of your own binary thinking.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't fit. Biden is a puppet. A career politician who is as corrupt and tainted as the rest...He doesn't believe in a vision for all people, all he and the rest of his cronies want is continued power and wealth for themselves and their small circle of friends... An exclusive club...and we common folk aren't in it.
I liked this song so much more before I saw the video. Playing in a circle of burning guitars? That just hurts, plus, what does it show? I love the song, but nothing meaningful was added to it with this video. To me, anyway.
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.
I certainly believe there is a better way. With good energy like Ben and his music, I believe the HuMan race will find it.. Jimi Hendrix believed music could save the world.
I believe in a better way: a better way to treat those around us of all races, sexual orientations, and cultures; a better way to treat and love ourselves; and a better way to treat our planet, with respect and love.
hello guys your troups are really rational i ma student in English and arabic language you are dealing with peacefull way to syrie toward iraqi example but what the people have to converse and feel most good feeling deals with better energie without forgetting all the pakistant people in every city and do you know my friend MARTIN FOURCADE HAVE A CONVERSE WITH HIM HE LIKES YOUR MUSIC MEANINGS

Apologies this isn't about this song, but, you've turned commenting off, on some of your - in my ever so humble opinion, best songs, better songs, and why? Cause they're about weed? Genuinely asking, with slight annoyance. This is a fine song, with a fine message, but someone who seemingly advocates for free speech, well, you're not doing a great job of that.
I feel like every politician in our country should be listening to music like this regularly...Attending very expensive fundraisers and shaking hands with voters does not appear to be making any difference.....
How about some of these so-called "protesters" taking the message to heart and, like Gandhi said, "Become the change they are wanting to see in the world." Oh, I forgot, that would actually require EFFORT.
hello...bismi lah iraham irahim.a bridder place to listen to the universe where i can be with all about my Small friends with all my Qualify and limited home many starfallah to yoo Ben was zian then Harper forever untill i can see cliff the fogg has gone we make sure ben harper we believe in the path of Allah they have hope of the mercifull of Allah forgiving mercifull
Heard this song in a documentary called waterman and had to find out what it was!! Great surfing doc too. Now I think about it this would have been a great Beatles song in there later years!

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
Love Ben Harper's style of music.
Very cool song.
@freespirit61 all i can tell you it is his grandfather shop where he grew up. there is a dvd about his life , don't have it right here but there is not many dvd out of ben harper maybe 4 or 5 check that out....

Thanks big sister

Grrrrr....Je t'AIME!!!!!
"Better Way"

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

If you combine Hendrix, Marley and Dylan you get Ben Harper. This guy is such an amazing musician/person, he really has changed my life.
You forgot Richie Havens.
Pour moi aussi sa musique m accompagne depuis mes 16ans,j en ai 45 maintenant,je vis en Suisse et c est toujours magnifique,génial, ,j aime l écouter parler.

Here there is a lot of Beatles too

This song is almost Ben's own version of Within You Without You by The Beatles
2020 needs to feel this song

Mr Harper not only believes in a "Better Way" . He has FOUND IT! ~ Beautiful ~
Yea, where's that led?
"Everyone I know is in the fight of their lives.". September 28th, 2024 & these words are truer than ever. 😢❤

"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.
I saw him at the Riviera in Buena Park(Chicago) several years ago; Intimate&Awesome!
"what good is a cynic with no better plans" ;)
Ahhhh I just discovered him muisc. He is great :)
For all you who have just or recently found.Go to the very beginning.Go forward!You cannae go wrong with Ben.Some believe he is god himself,I believe he's the closest thing we got.AYE!!CHEERS!!DredHed.

F-Zaïhrra ISISS est ce un bout des paroles en français ? Si tu l'as en entier cela m'intéresse beaucoup.
Love this.
I've been listening to this song like a mantra since the pandemic has started in 2020!!
I BELIEVE IN A BETTER WAY!!
“What good is a man who won’t take a stand”
It’s perfect
Song from nine years ago, new relevance. Imagine marchers singing this instead of hey-hey-ho-ho
Imagine them making effort in their own lives, creating a better way instead of begging, crying and throwing tantrums. Indeed!
Unfortunately, that would require hard work and perhaps some soul searching. It appears that most would prefer to act like overgrown children....Sad really.
Lyrics:
I'm a living sunset

What good is a cynic

You have a right to your dreams

Yoo hoo Ben Harper exactly where did you end up today in the world 🌎🌍 I think I saw you
Man I love this dude We attended concert in cleveland and was blown away It was like a dead concert in a way. One of the best times me and the wife had.What an artist and a spokesman for a new gereration.....

Direct your passion to help yourself and humanity and uplift the world :).
Sometimes it's the small things that count. Because small things always lead to big things :).
Yes there is a better way ... Certainly not to watch someone use the restroom ❤
i love this guys music , just so refreshing to have honesty and not a search for stardom
Here i am in 2022 and still comes back to this song
I think Biden should come out at the first debate with this playing over the loudspeakers.
That would be fine if he actually believed there is a better way. The guy is a corporate hack and neoliberal kiss ass.
@@Rubylove48 implying Trump is not a corporate muppet

Hey Ben !!🤗
Happy Birthday to you !!🎉🥳
Be the Force With you..🙏🤍🕊️🥰
That bass-line !!!!!!!
Fab!
My lousy ex introduced me to Ben Harper's music. One of the few things he actually did that I'm happy about. Love this song!
Man, the big guy with that big ass bass is the shit! :) haha
THANKS FOR this Nice music ❤

"What good IS a cynic with no better plan?" NOT part of the solution so must be part of the problem!

i F'ing love this guy's music . for once someone who produces honest powerful music
I believe in a better way: a better way to treat those around us of all races, sexual orientations, and cultures; a better way to treat and love ourselves; and a better way to treat our planet, with respect and love.
I'm sorry GOD 🙏 I couldn't measure YP
Impossível de ouvir uma só vez!
Oh my goodness, I would have fun in that shop! 😍
Poor guitars
Just heard this number by Ben Harper.....great message!!!
Again this song is relevant to today.
Hellz ya, I love Ben Harper... I've been following his music for years... righteous minded dude!
Sweet!!!! "I am a living Sunset, Lightning in my bones" :)
This is the message the world needs to hear!!!
“Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” Albert Einstein

Better Way is a mythical-poetic-existential experience that refers my being to Nietzsche's reflection: "You must have wings, when you love the abyss".
I feel like every politician in our country should be listening to music like this regularly...Attending very expensive
fundraisers and shaking hands with voters does not appear to be making any difference.....
Everyday... More now than ever. There is a Better Way.
We need resistance songs like this today.... #2018 #Abetterway
