Got no job, no money, no relationship and nothing really goin for me. Waking up and seeing the beauty in life gets to be a harder task each and every day. I often wonder what I am meant to do and why I am meant to do it. I give advice I can't follow. I put my head down when I know I can do something great and am held back by opinions and beliefs. Its songs like this that take you away from all that, and show you some real love in life.
I'm feeling you...I've fought so hard my whole life and I feel like the fight is being drained out of me...I know no one has ever loved me but my child... I've made a terrific punching bag for 30 years and always fought back...but that last round left me dumb struck.. speechless...and knowing your strong doesn't always get you through...the pain other people can inject into your heart ..it's left me in disbelief that a human so sick and cruel could exist..and continues to live a great wealthy.. easy life, and I'm still here and everyday I'm fighting to not let the anger and disbelief over take me..but it's getting harder as I age to have that feeling of pure conviction because in the end the bad guys win and your left just hanging on..there's no good memories to keep me going there all bad days and bad years...and some days I'm sorry but I really don't want to hear that things will get better because that's a pure lie...when you stop living and are just simply existing....
real music from the heart ,,,makes you feel good ,and think about your life and all the fucked up, narrow minded people on this planet,,,and rise above them ..so you see the good ones, ..fills your heart and brain with joy .. give you power to fight another day!!don,t give up !!
ben harper. you have a song for my every mood, wisdom for my every problem. There are a few people who can make you know God, just by being, and you are one of them
this is the 1st.Ben Harper video I saw,since then I am a huge fan of almost all of his tunes. He is so deep. Love him & Jack JohnsonVan ,my man Morrison. Blueeyedbets
My boyfriend/bestfriend of 2 years beat me and left me this past week. I've lost custody of my son because now I don't have childcare or a job. This song is going to get me through this. I swear to it.
(How) can they do this? I hope you get some help, a safe place for the two of you. (not having a job is no reason for taking away a child. Wouldn't they (public authorities) rather pay a nanny or Kindergarden than going to such length? I don't know how the circumstances are, where you live. Here, in some of the EU countries, they would. Maybe you could contact a shelter for women?) Cross my fingers for you, this song also helped me through a violent situation.
I'm a twin (very similar) in small town England and the rumor and and inaccurate stories I've endured here had me in the gutter. I got up though (just) and am rediscovering what them there vampires stole in broad daylight. Great track....
Of course it has! Don't get me wrong, I do not have the pretension to guess what Harper meant with these lyrics. This is my own interpretation of his lyrics, that really mean a lot to me. But I must also say that in my opinion you don't have to be unsuccessful to criticize capitalism or any other thing. In my comment I stress the word success, so I do not assume that being a successful capitalist is an easy thing.
+Tom what you point out does not IN ANY WAY condradict or disprove that the dangers of Capitalism as practiced today include profit-only greed, and from there the consequence of societal breakdown in spite of basic human needs, is basic human psychology. You offer us a strawman, and tjat is a weak argument. In this case no argument at all!
I'm from Portugal, and we are about to see some fundamental social rights be destroyed on behalf of FMI, after the greeks have tasted the poison. This song is an inspiration - don't let them take the fight outta you.

Very important song to understand the hidden dangers of capitalist success
cinosofo Don't give us that shit. Capitalism has turned this man into a multi millionaire, deservedly so. Fantastic musician
