Michael Franti & Spearhead - The Sound Of Sunshine 

I met Michael yesterday by chance on a random street corner. He was the nicest man, shook my hand, remembered my name, and told me to have a good day. It’s so encouraging to meet celebrities who are genuinely good people!

This was my wife's fight song, after 5 battles with cancer we lost our fight thank you Michael Franti for getting us through her fight she loved your songs we would listen to this every morning before her chemo treatments I will always cherish this song God bless my wife Denine and you Michael Franti

I'm in hospital recovering from a stroke. Asked friends for music the help me recover this was one of the suggestions. It's great

If we all listened to this each morning, every day, what a better world it would be. I'll start with me.

Listened to this song constantly in my parents Jeep when I was little. Got my license and the Jeep today and this is the first thing I played.

this song makes my soul happy.

Butt-freezing cold in Baltimore today. Dreaming of a tropical situation! Love and light to all!

music is the softest weapon in the world, hit yourself with music.

A couple of years ago, this song got me through some really tough times. Every time I heard it, I felt immediately better. Thank you for being a a rainbow after my storm!

There needs to be more songs like this.

We need more happy music like this, not just sad depressing music or love music

The whole world needs to listen to this simultaneously.

Saw Michael Franti perform at a club in SF back in '92. He rocked it, brought down the house, he was destined to bring joy to humans

When my first grandchild was born- this was our favorite dance song. Oh how I love that little girl💕

He is so fantastic to see live. He's inspirational and his positivity is infectious. If you get the opportunity to see one of his shows, do it!

This man got me over my Mother’s death in 2009…..still love him, his wife and son!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👏

Happiest song I've heard in a long time. I need it today.

I actually got to meet him, and he gave me his collection of guitar pics signed by him

God bless to everyone reading this.. i wish and hope and pray for each of you to receive huge blessings and miracles.. you are an incredible person that deserves wonderful things in your life... i give only love, hope and joy in your direction forever and ever

Used to hear this tune all the time in the grocery store I used to work at. Glad I found it again after thinking about it. Put a big smile on my face hearing it again

This song brings me hope in the troubled times we all are experiencing. To answer Jimi Hendrix's question- yes, your soul is experienced.

Still here in 2020!

No need for anti-depression pills, this song works for any bad mood or day.

It's impossible to frown when listening to this song, unless it's the end. Another amazing piece by Michael.

Michael franti got me through covid lockdown and work, and depression!!

Heard this song on an obscure radio station today and immediately had to hear it again.. hate I’m so late to the party but love ❤️ this song now...😎

My son Sean just sent this to me. I am so blessed and grateful. Thank you God.

Franti fan....and its been years. Lyrics spot on, and so relatable. Michael saw me through raising three great kids as a single, struggling mom. And many years later, I share his music with my young adult children. Sound of sunshine. Thank you Michael!

Michael Franti is a bright light! so inspiring

This song has helped me to overcome so many things and realize that life is positive when you want it to be. Thank you Michael Franti for being such an inspiration to me

Listening to this song makes me feel so grateful to God and thankful to be alive

OMG! Saw him at Rifflandia, Victoria BC on Friday night!! He was AMAZING!!! Everyone was dancing and singing!! So much joy....and a huge bonus, I got to meet him and got a photo with him! Best birthday present ever:)

"Don't be shy - hug a black guy" ... I love his smile :) Consider yourself hugged, dear friend I haven't met yet!

crank up those speakers... and listen again... SPRING is here...... and I hear the Sound of Sunshine

This looks so much like Santa Cruz! This song is such good medicine in long winter days with no glimpse of the Sun.

I wish modern music still had this level of chill...

It's -40 where I live.....freaking cold.... This makes me smile and remember that the sun shines always when it is this cold here!

Love this song! Can't help but to feel better after listening to it!

Music is our expression of the soul. This song is humanity's manifestation of hope for a better tomorrow.

This song turns even the darkest days around...thank you for putting out music like this! I can feel the sounds of sunshine.

This song gives me beach vibes! Miss being in the Caribbean! Never heard of this song until this year and I love this song!

Soul surfer was such a good movie

I can proudly say this song plays at my work every day and It makes my day! :D

This man is a walking singing Angel in human form!

I love the silence of the morning Before todays weather warning Climate change it's underscoring Our world is slowly transforming But Toady the Sunshine is Adoring

This guy opened for santana, and I went to the concert early with my dad so we got to see him perform, he was awesome! Lots of enthusiasm and charisma, really nice guy too (:

It's 2018, and everyone still loves this song!!!

this song was on the radio 4 years ago when my friend drove us to the beach. it was 10am and the breeze felt so nice with the sun rays on your skin. everything sucks now.

Dear brother Michael I met you at the National in Richmond Va several years ago I was there with my daughter This was the song that went straight to my soul ty 😊 You bring people together through your words what a gift Family is everything and we are all Family Hallelujah Hallelujah You are truly Joy to the world 😊

Pretty cool song.. nice melody to it. very positive and upbeat.. well done Michael Franti!

I listened to this laying in a hammock at dawn in Mexico last week. I could see the sunrise over the ocean and I could hear the waves in the background.... It was perfect.

This song feels so good. If it doesn't change your mood nothing will.

Never fails to make me smile.

First heard this skiing in Italy… never fails to cheer me up :]

I saw all your comments and you all share a bond. As I do. Music is healing. And Michael is added to the many artists that we all love. Inspirational, makes us dance and turns our woes into sunshine when we hear it

Michael Franti, your music always make me smile!!!

Micheal, I've been listening to you for a long time. I love your music. I'm not sure I believe in your beliefs. I think we share a few. Love will win. Understanding out weighs being understood. You have given me years of great music, and I love you for that.

Michael you make me smile in the midst of tears.

"They say that miracles are never ceasin', and every single soul needs a little releasin' The stereo bumpin' till the sun goes down, and I only want to hear that sound... And that's the sound of sunshine coming down" My favorite part of the song right here :)

Me and my dad in like 2014 listened to this and now it’s our song.🙃

This a beautiful song...cheers me up on the worst days :)

yes

Michael Franti & Spearhead @ The Taste of Chicago this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a uplifting song

I had never heard of him before Wanee. I was walking through the field after the Dirty Dozen show and heard these sweet tunes coming from them and I just had to stop. I'm definitely a fan now.

If this song doesn't get someone in a positive, happy mood, something's wrong!

How can you dislike a song that brings joy to the world?

I absoluteley love this song.Everytime im down it brings me back up and makes me wanna dance.Don't you guys feel like dancin everytime you hear it?

I heard your song play on CBC Radio Radio morning show earlier this morning...East Coast Canada weather report for today is sunny skies and warm temperatures! And then this song brought light to my day about 7:15 AM 🌅🏞🧡

I danced to this song when I was 6 years old. The nostalgia is hitting me hard 🥺

this song only has 2 million hits? i swear i've replayed it more times than that...

I heard this song when I was on holiday in Italy, and I heard it on the radio! Such a great great summersong! This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down, keep it up Michael Franti you're making beautiful music!

Soul Surfer brought me here !!!

Michael Franti and Spearhead are gonna be opening at a festival in my town this summer. Hell. Yes.

Playing this song all the way up with my windows open introducing my neighbors to good music 😋😛❤️❤️❤️

Nothing but love from this Man had the opportunity to escort this man @ Rise Up in Baltimore thank you Mike 🤙🏾 -Richie Battle Tested

this song instantly puts me in a good mood

This song helped me when I needed help.

More songs like this, and less rioting in this country!

"Tanktop" Joe ,the worlds toughest S.O.B , melts when Alyssia is around. The woman is my world!!!!!!!

Nice songs, they make me happy

Everyday on my way to school with my sister my mom would always play this song and his music in the car and she called it “happy music” this song brings back so many memories and makes me feel happy

This makes me really happy :)

Christopher Michaels I totally get that. Our granddaughter was almost 4 when she caught cancer... For the 2nd time. Franti & black humor got everyone through it. Michael Franti literally kept people from getting beaten if not killed. The utter rage you feel, watching a baby go through something like that, if ya haven't been there you can't comprehend. God bless Michael Franti

Anyone in 2021? or just ME😕

Michael Frantis music has had the best inspiration on my life

saw this man on the Bill Maher Show via HBO Demand. I then went to RU-vid...Awesome, just Awesome!

This song always lifts me out of whatever funk I'm in. Thank you!

OMG I love this artist. Makes me feel good.

Best show EVER! Winnipeg MB, Burton Cummings. Soul food.

I love you Michael Franti I came to your concert this summer

Listening to this while I'm on the way to the beach....☺️❤🌊⛱☀️

(1, 2, 3) I wake up in the morning and it's 6 o'clock. They say there may be rain but the sun is hot. I wish I had some time just to kill today, And I wish I had a dime for every bill I had to pay. Some days you lose you win and the water's as high as the times your in. So I jump back into where I learn to swim. Try to keep my head above it as best I can. That's why; Here I am, Just waiting for this storm to pass me by. And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down... (Aye, aye, ayeehey...) I saw my friend Bobby he said, "What's up man? You gotta little work or a twenty to lend?" I opened up my hand He said I'm glad to see, they can take away my job but not my friends you see. And here I am just waiting for this storm to pass me by. And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down (Here we go) I want to go where the sun will never end With my guitar on the beach there with all my friends The sun so hot and the waves in motion and everything smells like suntan lotion, the ocean, and the girls so sweet So kick off your shoes and relax your feet They say that miracles are never ceasin', and every single soul needs a little releasin' The stereo bumpin' till the sun goes down, and I only want to hear that sound And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And now say You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down. You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down Sing; You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes down. You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes That's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down (Aye, aye aye, Ha, aye aye)

My little sister once heard this song and my mom always puts it on for her.

Hey brother you are the BEST. Keeping my head up during this pandemic. Stay rad and cool with the fam in Bali. Keep inspiring!!! xx

He came to Weber State today and performed this song. It pretty much made my day. Fantastic :)
