I love the fact that he is always barefoot!

[crowehead7]

Great song..but the "BEST" vid clip I've ever seen!! Love ya Michael..

[MrChuckles1945]

[Alienshadow5]

The look on the soldier's face when he saw his family absolutely slayed me.

[footlooseontherun]

I cried watching this!! I love his music soo much.

[JonnyHackerRed]

Sorry to troll: " But this song has great lyrics and a great video capturing and editing crew... But the vocals are terrible.... This group needs a new vocalist to bring their message across..." --- Horrible Stuff, all but the video imaging peeps -------

[browneyesheaven]

My Favorite Song <3

[blabla66698]

[MrXmonkeyx]

Dsplay Picture looks like Dave Grohl

[dudefromtheearth]

Great song and very well done music video for the song.

[momoror106]

the girl @1:07 looks like my district manager

[enoxib]

@Timmmmie15 shhhhhhh Troll.

[otherjay11]

This isn't Korn. Someone lied to me!

[ShyDaniel2112]

He's changed so much since his Disposable Heroes days. He doesn't seem nearly as angry now.

[pavlos999]

...really makes me appreciate our great country, brave soldiers, and precious freedoms.

[nfrog3]

Wow I so need this right now.

[samwise8472]

After listening to this:

My sister: "Are you crying?"

Me: "No... Wha.... Nuhuh. There's just something in my eye's."

Sister: "Both of them?"

Me: "Yes..... Shut up!"

[sugahface]

la la love this song..

[stormyweather12]

Cool song, amazing hair flip at 4:34 :)

[amekokurosaki]

That is so fucking powerful. God.

[JackKinsley]

Songs like this should be getting into the charts. Meaningful music.

[primulamonkey]

@JackKinsley

This guy used to be relevant and used to make music. Not so much of either these days. Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury, raise the double standard!

[xoxoBeckiie]

I love it.

[jeustor]

good song, video is a little over produced. I enjoy their older videos better. They were raw and more real feeling...blessings

[AeroLord117]

I just discovered this music for the first time at a live concert when he opened for carlos santana.Michael is a amazing singer and these song are amazing

[luvshubbers]

@AeroLord117 Me too! The Woodlands? I didn't know who he was til I recognized the last song (Hey (I love you)

[najae808]

i just discovered michael franti today and i cannot believe i've missed out on this all these years. absolutely amazing!

[badbadger2012]

Ahhh makes you believe that you can do anything in the world because of that certain individual, or even group of people makes it priceless :D

[MissPDXvlogs]

GO STEPHEN! THE BEST PERSON IN THIS VIDEO AT 2:09!!!!!!!!

[14fishy14]

beautiful <3 love micheal franti

[ImagelessGrace]

Amazing song and Amazing video! Best yet! Thank you for the song and the video!

[TheRealNansaidh]

Wow, this is very moving. It really touched me. Am just discovering Michael Franti and loving everything I hear/see so far.

[missmarsrockstar101]

love,friends,family,love ones,who you care about <3

[raeging1235]

one part reminds me of my mom.. another part of when my dad was ALWAYS on the bedside by my momma before she passed on.. this is legit on life.. i will be waiting for the day that many things happen and i cant believe my eyes that i accomplished so much in life. i am only 17 but i do have BiG dreams for my ppl(:

[SheetaMort]

Look up-

Michael Franti and Spearhead - Oh My God

Michael Franti & Spearhead - Sometimes

Thats the real Franti

[badfish2829]

@SheetaMort The man can do what he wants. He's earned the right. He's been at it since the early 90s. What have you done?

[serenap05]

@SheetaMort In my honest opinion, I strongly dislike Oh My God, because, to me, it sounds like he's angry with me, and, therefore, it frightens me a bit. I like Sometimes very much though. However, I don't think there's any "real Franti." He still spreads positive messages, it's still quality music that still changes peoples' perceptions and makes people happy. Sometimes people don't want to listen to something they're not used to, so you have to relate to them to properly speak to them.

[SheetaMort]

Ohhh no. He's tasted fame!

He's been corrupted, bought out....so sad.

His vibes have changed. Where has the Reggae slipped away to.

[unloveforlyfe]

Love love love love this song

[horselvr1224]

How could anyone dislike this?

[CosmosAndChaos012]

I bought a CD with this song as a bonus track. I just listened to it, god I love it. This is my honey's song.

[athousandjoys]

Michael Franti played at the Basilica Block party in Minneapolis and sang about 3 inches away from the audience and was so cool with that unlike most performers. His positive energy and sound uplifted everyone in the crowd. He rocks, he inspires and just keeps getting better. Does anyone know if he's still going barefoot? I couldn't see.....

[maxluvmusic]

Thank you Michael for sending out ripples of light, keep on skipping stones, you're a Blessing! Namaste!

[derblaue52]

REMEMBER SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY.

[hitwall]

if you close ur eyes the song doen't have near the impact- it's the video that is pretty great

[mrgraff42]

@hitwall Yeah, incredible acting.

[alvon911]

I thought this was another Mumford & Sons song!

[pecki453]

16 people are idiots

[lyndseybro]

Who would even dislike this? This is truly beautiful<3

[petrakmart]

to michael and spearhead thanks so much for playing at wakarusa this year!

love you guys!!!! keep strong

[dimeview]

Very touching song, The part of the married couple, almost exactly what my wife said to me before she left our little girl and I. God, it's only been 60 days. I miss her so much. My love, my life, till we meet again, R.I.P. Gracie

[nwambach]

Had a Lot of Fun at this Video Shoot...Michael's a dope artist and very humble guy..Hope you have much success brother...I'm the guy in the blue shirt in the skate park gettin my ass kicked lol, but check me out my group MindFloux on facebook - Much Love, Nikko

[musicho]

Please come back to South Carolina soon. I saw you at the HOB last year and' it was one of the most spiritual concerts I've ever seen. It was just beautiful and I'd love to see y'all again.

Love this song, although I prefer the album version. This is just slightly different.

[MasochisticMalice]

I saw this video for the first time on my tv this morning. It's the first time I've cried because of a song in a really long time. I'm a new Michael Franti fan and this is just amazing. .

[jhessgirl]

@MasochisticMalice Welcome to the world of beautiful music! Go back and here their old stuff! Yell Fire is probably my favorite! All the Albums are great!!! michael franti and spearhead are awesome live as well!

[ashleydanielle7787]

I saw this video this morning on VH1. I even cried on the part with the lady on her death bed :(

[MrTigersawesome]

@ashleydanielle7787 me too this song makes me thinks about everything

[420jrug]

he's such a humble person... Amazing thru and thru.

[thelmasag1201]

The universe speaks to people via this song.

[coldfood10]

I'm a new Michael Franti and Spearhead fan, but I love their music so much!

[ladyarlene1]

[Lopee08]

[Big2000Powerstroke]

Amazing

[ohtinaaa240]

Just heard this on the radio and fell in love! then saw the video and fell in love even more! =)

[teabagginue]

[howtoletsplayccrs]

I love this music video and im glad I found out about it. verry touching.

[lynwoodcali]

WONDERFUL I LOVE IT. BRAVO BRAVO

[LiveForMusic777]

Amazing AMAZING song, beautiful video. This man has such power, evokes such emotion. Outstanding.

[kimmyk10]

OMG I love this song!!!

[Flickchick2008]

The man is pure love...

[Videordinarylife]

Like if you think the radio is playing Bad by U2 every time you hear this song.

[stottsonline]

has anyone else noticed that this sounds exactly like Take a Picture by Filter?

[hoppy161]

If people wonder why bad things happen, maybe its cause the best things in life are "frightened but still fighting," or "laughing and crying" Gotta go through bad to appreciate good.

[hoppy161]

If people wonder why bad things happen, maybe its cause the best things in life are "frightened but still fighting".

[jnyckid]

an amazing voice n kickass message!! :) repeat addiction...

[kharmadog1]

Love. I just love it.

[basikdmk]

You know this is what

Music is all about. I wake this morning feeling like their is. No point to today

And I flik it to vh1 and on. Comes on this jam from somebody I have never heard of and I just find my self with a huge smile and goosebumps all over .music is so freaking beautiful.

[gfunkenterprises]

Thought this was very cheesy. Both the video and the song. Just my personal opinion!

[audreymaudrey]

ramones at 2:44 ;D

[killalmostwise]

Holy badly fitted helmet Batman!! Seriously, to all cyclist/parents, make sure you get a correct fit AND know how to adjust/place it properly. You risk serious injury otherwise.

Love this tune, another beautiful message from Michael and the gang :)

Peace and love my friends.

[chelle523]

Beautiful, beautiful man - inside and out. 

[danieltbingham]

That was one hell of a touching video. Left me teary eyed and this is my first time hearing the song or seeing the video. 

[browneyesheaven]

I <3 this song so much! This life what life`s all about <3

[InGodsCountry]

Beautiful video..... Michael is such a great performer! Thank you for your joyful sound!

[whatitdobaby69]

FUCK VEVO

[teddytonks]

11 people have no soul.



[RacerXGTO]

If you listen to the first 8 bars of U2's "BAD, you can hear the harmony influence in the lead guitar. U2 uses 16th notes, this song uses 8th notes to the harmony.

[chelle523]

@RacerXGTO I think that I read an interview with Michael where he said that he wrote parts of this song while he was opening for U2. You can definitely hear that influence.

[DeeeDotBo]

i thought this said michael wut ever and superhead!!!lololol lmao! i was like superhead is singing now! wut she deep throated the mic and shyt ? it was a must see! but to my disappointment i get to hear this good'ol country music sawng!

[Cathyannp4]

[thestarsnatcher]

I love this.

Reminds me of Phil Collins a little.

[ChrisBad15]

@thestarsnatcher Or do you mean U2's song "Bad"? Sounds very similar in intro and verses.

[bustanutt88]

@thestarsnatcher it almost reminds me of U2 a little as well

[jessgtz22]

Wow this is soo touching I love stuff like that w a good happy message!

[tylerbaraby]

When I heard some of this guys other stuff, I gained a lot of hope for the future of music. I actually believed mainstream music would be good again... And after hearing this, all of my faith is dead. God damnit...

[raycarroll]

wow..powerful song.."The best things in life aren't things

they are living..they are breathing

The best things in life aren't things

They are something you can believe in"
