I woke up with the Lyrics from Oh My God running through my head this morning.. Sept. 24, 2011.. Such amazing stream of consciousness.. powerful.. Thank you!
@pegeen1 This is sad. I'd like to know what research you are doing because obviously you are not a very good researcher. You are probably taking things out of context. For example he has stated that he felt the civil war was not necessary because every other country has done away with slavery peacefully. This means he is opposed to war not a proponent of slavery or a racist. He is also opposed to the civil rights act because he feels it is not effective not because he's against civil rights
@pegeen1 I dont know if hes a racist but I do know that he is an awful politician. Dude has no charisma he has good ideas that I mostly agree with but he seems to have no concept of what it takes to win a national election.
why are there always mindless ron paul pukes on michael franti comment boards? 99% of them think because he "wants to legalize" that he's soo cool. the president has no power over legalization, ron paul also wants to build a fence on the border of mexico, and give huge corporations giant tax breaks hoping the money will trickle down to the middle class. does that sound like "revolution" or blind extremist? either way, you dumbass 14 yr olds cant vote anyway...
@RHoles1, sounds like you need to learn more about Ron Paul. He wants the government to keep to what it is supposed to do which means protect our borders, fight wars we need to be in (stay out of places we don't belong), quit giving corporations money taken from us. He wants to stop the trickle up (from our pockets up to DC), not start some kind of "trickle down".
loool...ron paul doesnt want to build a fence?...the man wants liberty and im pretty sure he wouldnt give corporations tax cuts... a little too much Tv there buddy. Ron paul is the ONLY candidate that isnt a fucking corporate puppet, not to mention he would to bring our troops home and audit the federal reserve which is responsible for a lot of fiscal problems
@RHoles1 Actually as President he has said he will grant a pardon to all non-violent drug offenders and if you saw the recent tea party debate in Florida, he was the only Republican on stage (as far as I could tell) that was opposed to building a fence. He doesn't want to give huge corporations giant tax breaks. He wants to give the small guy tax breaks, do away with the inflation tax that is so harmful to the middle class and end corporatism (big gov in bed with big biz).

Dude, if one can say ANYTHING about Franti it's that he's real and extremely positive. I don't think many artists can say that they're doing what they love without sacrificing at least an iota of their integrity. I think Spearhead (especially Franti) KNOW who they are and the message they want to convey through their music. Mad props.
I did find it amusing that he has a commercial with a pretty bad, commercial beer. I don't judge him because that money mainly is going to allow him to spread his message. Haha, i just wish it had been for a better product!

thanks for posting this -- i come to this page from time to time to hear it again.
i played piano on this track. my name is ramon lazo and i was with the band 1999-2000. i co-wrote this tune and we recorded this live in Amsterdam in October 1999 live in a high school gym. peace.
For those who love this song please give a listen to the "live at the baobob" version. Very natural and tight with one of the best bass and vocal melody improvisations I've ever heard. Thanks to Spearhead!
I love how everyone turns to hate when someone becomes successful. He deserves it. Huggged him last summer at Calgary folk fest. The guys still himself. Just listen, groove, and let it be what it is!
@kimmyrabb I think alright, obviously differently then you do Ms. Capricorn. You take yourself way too seriously and its a shame you have such difficulties accepting other people's viewpoints, which may differ from your's.
"You can't bomb the world to pieces, but you can bomb it into peace!"---Michael Franti@Spearhead, BOMB THE WORLD
If any of these idiots who want to bash Michael Franti had a clue, they'd be making money and music and sharing it instead of taking up space being negative. A little jealous, are we?
I've been a fan of this guy since 2000 at least. Glad he's finally getting some recognition. Dope lyricist. Positive influence on the world. Fuck yes.
In today's market, licensing your music to commercials is one of the few avenues left to make a living. How many of you that are giving him such a hard time actually buy his albums? With out CD sales, artists have to make do. It's these other streams of revenue that allow him to write music and tour and perform, sharing his message with the world. An artist sells out when they align with a product that goes against their core values. If he didn't drink beer, then he'd be selling out for instance
Who cares if he sells his shit to commercials? I hate when people think that artists should just quit trying to promote their music as soon as you have heard of them. Isn't it better that his message reaches more people now than to have some sort of vendetta against commercialism? It's not like he's dumbing down his songs or changing his style to fit the mainstream.
check this account- JMann27925 -for a sweet up close and personal vid of michael franti talking about the cure for a rough day...you won't be sorry you did
He is the man....for real. You know, He won't move-out of the ghetto, so that He won't forget His roots. From the 60's and outside of Him.......nobody comes close to "sending the message out". Namate
WE dont care what you have to say , sorry to burst your bubble. We love his music and the message it brings and feeling it gives us. Who gives a damn but you obviously, that he let Corona use his song. He's making money everyone makes money , even you im sure . And I promise you , you probably do stuff that you didnt think you ever would for money. So artists give rights to their songs to be used in a comercial. Who are you to judge ?
@Squeesha18 HAhaha, I have no doubt that a TON of mindless 13 year old fans love his vacuous change in style. If you always choose your music based on what everyone else likes then your a fucking mindless twat anyways.
@NOTgarycoleman uhmm im 14 and i luv micheal franti 4 his music cuz his words tthey really get 2 me and i luv bob marley 2 not 4 weed but 4 his music but @ da same time i like roscoe dash and lil wayne idc wut ppl thnk and im sure there has gotta b ppl like me
@Squeesha18 You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Michael Franti HIMSELF judged people for selling out ...esp to beer commercials.
then he turns around and sells his own music? Inexcusable. Not that you would know anything about it ...as you JUST heard of him through MTV no doubt.
don't forget the Cingular Wireless comercial either. However, we can stil love the pre sell out. I've danced on stage with the man twice, at least he's still not wearing shoes and is an awesome entertainer.
i personally dont like rap, but this guy...hes doing it on purpose he wants to reach out to everyone and i give him so much props for that. he wants his message to get to everyone. As much as I like Bob marley and SOAD, this guy is the man. Hes got the right idea
chrispalmo, nothing personal. Im tired of tube. Things you are able to find one day, then the next they get rid of or mute it. Its called sensorship. I down loaded an original version of this a while back. I went to play that downloaded version in my files and it had changed to this version. Upset that they have that much control. To take something out of my computer and change it with somthing they felt was better. peace! posy of ants. if there is enough of them they can eat you. Relentless
@antpossie are you serious they were able to change the version of the song on your computer ? ...i'm personally looking for the more soulful , bass -driven version of this song ..if you know of it holla at me
@hchukuka Yeah they stole the one from me and replaced it with the newer version. I dont know what happened to the older version but my heart tells me they deleted the first one because it was right on time. The music lined up with the visual as to what is really going on. Do you yourself a favor and just buy the Album. The album is a litlle more complete about the big and the NWO
Such a deep song. Amazing. This song is representative of another individual whose branch of thought has become aware of America's imperialist agenda, and domination of the world through terrorism, and corrupt agencies.
Michael Franti is spreading his good word all over the world and you f@%kin Idiots are calling him a sell out! I wish I could meet anyone of you idiots so i could put my foot up your ass!
free speech is essential to what this song is imparting- even when we dont like it- its part of an evolved sensibility- its creates a communication which creates understanding and education which predicates thinking outside the square and untimatly brings opposing viwepoints to an understanding- that has the ability to create peace- if we allow it to-thats why
Like more music, not less music, if you like more music, you will be much happier than going over variations of Trance, and all the other types of load, bassey music they play in clubs.
its like just liking films in the English language, you are instantly limiting your choices not by half, but more like 1/1000000000, as there are more films in other languages than english then there are in english.
@rorrt Well you dont really know me lol, i like quite a wide variety of music and im commenting because im aloud seeing as this is the world wide web after all.
if you like lots of music, then you will know more than most people that there isnt bad music, theres different music.
and taking this great song on each level; production, writing, and musically this song is imaculate...
and personally i would guess, so this is a guess, your the sort of person that says i like loads of music, and just names sub genres. like rock: Indie, Grunge, thrash etc.
@rorrt why not comment that? no one has to pay any attention lol and well right there they aren't sub genres of each other and no i do listen to a wide range of music, most probably due to the variety of instruments i okay so yea...
@haaamey 1. haha why the hell would a doctor be assessing my personality? are you so poor you've never had access to one so are unaware of there actually job?
@SeanA921 why are you sooo fucking spoiled that you cant open your eyes and be a decent fucking human...oh, wait of course you can't because its easier to hide behind a keyboard, sint it you 12 year old angsty fuck. but I'm sure you'll just spout off about freedoms. Lemme guess, you never served either? Of course you didnt, because you;d rather sit on a computer, and watch everyone get angry so you can jerk off to your own delights and fancy yourself some kind of mastermind of arguements.
@NinjaNai01 Chill, all i said was "does any one actually like this shit xD" meant in a jokey kind of way..... also im 22 and have served for 6 years i only left this summer due to knee damage, you really shouldnt judge anybody you havent even met too be honest and after what youve just said i think its pretty hypocritical that you say that i "fancy myself some kind of mastermind of arguments" and at the end of the day, anybody is entitled to their own opinion and youtube
@NinjaNai01 and youtube is a place your expected and has a commenting system set up so you CAN share your opinion there no need to get angry when someones opinion is different from yours, if you dont like hearing other peoples opinion dont scroll down further than the actual video in future. I wont be replying again so if you decide to dont expect an answer.
@SeanA921 Yes, Sean people do enjoy this "shit" as you call it, and im one of them. You may think this is bad music, but maybe you cant even take in what reality is because the songs by Michael Franti are amazing and tell the TOTAL truth about reality and if you dont like this than, dont listen to it and dont comment on something people LOVE
unarguably and without a shadow of any doubt the best version of oh my god ever- but lets not forget the most important message in this song that we must keep in the forfront of our minds- america- keep Barak Obama in office as your president- Australia for the love of god dont let that evil slime tony abbott be prime minister!!!! it will be even worse tha howard!!!
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
Franti/Spearhead changed my world. They told me that it's ok to think outside of the box and to ask questions. Freakin' AWESOME! I'll never be the same...that's a very good thing. Music (art in general) should encourage us to THINK!
Im glad for you...don't stop at music(art) seeing as how it is just a mirror for our troubled times. Granted there is good in the world, but thats not what needs to be fixed. get inspired and lets all do something
This version is NOT on "Stay Human." I thought so, too, but I got an actual copy of it, and the version is completely different. But keep looking and let us know if you find it. I'll also be looking.
this song isnt directed at one certain race, but the unity of the peoples of the world. Drugs have no part in this at all listen to the strong lyrics and youll understand that it is talking about the coruption of political organizatons and the loss of freedom
True story. I always loved this song, and thought about the banana thing. One day last year on my way to work in the morning, I was walking across a bridge that crosses over the road. There was a lady directly in front of me and she slipped on a banana peel hahaha.
Whoever puts negative vibes towards Franti, just marred themselves, dont waste your time and look how amazing his music is!

don't forget the Cingular Wireless comercial either. However, we can stil love the pre sell out. I've danced on stage with the man twice, at least he's still not wearing shoes and is an awesome entertainer.

i personally dont like rap, but this guy...hes doing it on purpose he wants to reach out to everyone and i give him so much props for that. he wants his message to get to everyone. As much as I like Bob marley and SOAD, this guy is the man. Hes got the right idea

chrispalmo, nothing personal. Im tired of tube. Things you are able to find one day, then the next they get rid of or mute it. Its called sensorship. I down loaded an original version of this a while back. I went to play that downloaded version in my files and it had changed to this version. Upset that they have that much control. To take something out of my computer and change it with somthing they felt was better. peace! posy of ants. if there is enough of them they can eat you. Relentless

@hchukuka Yeah they stole the one from me and replaced it with the newer version. I dont know what happened to the older version but my heart tells me they deleted the first one because it was right on time. The music lined up with the visual as to what is really going on. Do you yourself a favor and just buy the Album. The album is a litlle more complete about the big and the NWO

free speech is essential to what this song is imparting- even when we dont like it- its part of an evolved sensibility- its creates a communication which creates understanding and education which predicates thinking outside the square and untimatly brings opposing viwepoints to an understanding- that has the ability to create peace- if we allow it to-thats why

and why are you commenting on this video?
Like more music, not less music, if you like more music, you will be much happier than going over variations of Trance, and all the other types of load, bassey music they play in clubs.
its like just liking films in the English language, you are instantly limiting your choices not by half, but more like 1/1000000000, as there are more films in other languages than english then there are in english.

so why comment "Does anyone enjoy this shit?"
if you like lots of music, then you will know more than most people that there isnt bad music, theres different music.
and taking this great song on each level; production, writing, and musically this song is imaculate...
and personally i would guess, so this is a guess, your the sort of person that says i like loads of music, and just names sub genres. like rock: Indie, Grunge, thrash etc.
rorrt 1 year ago
@rorrt why not comment that? no one has to pay any attention lol and well right there they aren't sub genres of each other and no i do listen to a wide range of music, most probably due to the variety of instruments i okay so yea...

True story. I always loved this song, and thought about the banana thing. One day last year on my way to work in the morning, I was walking across a bridge that crosses over the road. There was a lady directly in front of me and she slipped on a banana peel hahaha.
