one two three, uhuh
i wake up in the morning its six 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've got to pay
some days you lose you win
and the water's as high as the times your in
so i just back in there where i learned to swim
try to keep my head above it the best i can
that's why,
here i am, waiting for this storm to pass my by
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
one two three, uhuh
i saw my friend bobby i said "what's up man"
you got a little work or 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"
here i am, waiting for the storm to pass my by
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
i wanna go where the summer never ends
with my guitar on the beach there with all my friends
the suns so hot and the waves in motion
and everything smells like sun tan lotion
the ocean, and the girls so sweet
so kick off your shoes and relax your feet
they say that miracles are never seizing
and every single soul needs a little releasing
the sterio bumpin till the sun goes down
and i only wanna hear that sound
that's the sound of sunshine coming down
that's the sound of sunshine coming down
i said you're the one i wanna be with
when the sun goes down
i said you're the one i wanna be with
when the sun goes down
singin you're the one i wanna be with
when the sun goes down
that's the sound of sunshine coming down
that's the sound of sunshine coming down

I have tremendous respect for a man like Franti. Not so much for his bashers — they reek of envy.  I think Fidel Castro has the same policy towards his critics. Lock 'em up! THIS SUCKS! |

Rate it according to your feelings. But here's a clue for you — just because you don't enjoy something has NOTHING to do with its intrinsic value. Saying that something sucks says a lot more about YOU than what you're criticizing — and saying that in itself does not consist of a valid critique. I am a fan, and it's not one of his politically-infused songs, but it's catchy as hell. I happen to enjoy a feel-good song once in a while — there's plenty of feel-bad stuff out there — I find this to be a good antidote to all that. Michael Franti is a musician who walks his talk — check out www.powertothepeaceful.org for some examples of his work. Check out the DVD he released in 2006 called "I Know I'm Not Alone" subtitled "A Musician's Search For The Human Cost Of War." He flew into Iraq in the middle of the conflict and walked the streets defended only by his guitar. He did the same in Israel and Palestine to try to understand the ongoing conflict there. He mingled with people on the streets and found commonality in music. (It's available on Netflix.) It's easy to sit back and say something sucks — what have you done to make people smile, laugh, or get up and dance lately? I have tremendous respect for a man like Franti. Not so much for his bashers — they reek of envy. Love Spearhead since long time. Also like when people have the knowledge about artists and post it here. To explain is useful for others. So i like this comment and also song. |

It's like the recipe was...let's take an existing Michael Franti song, that we may or may not have already made up and try to make it even better than a typical Michael Franti song, but only let's try to make it even happier than that Bobby McFerrin song. Looks like some others kind of feel like I do on this one. I am actually a Franti fan but this is pure fluff/crap to the point of being annoying. What a sell out. The MF and S songs I like have Sly and Robbie playing along. Sly and Robbie make everyone sound good. Kind of like having Michael McDonald singing backup. lol I agree, this is about on the level of "don't worry, be happy". I am sure it will be a big hit with mainstream radio and will make them lots of money. |

All that's missing is a Craig Ferguson version with puppet accompaniment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULW2h_TK2Ik I loves me some feel-good music... And of course, the Craig Ferguson version of "Say Hey" is typically juvenile and absolutely hysterical. Thanks, on all counts! This song makes me dance...  |

| DanFHiggins (Mid Maryland) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 07:15 I like it fine. It's playing at the local college radio. Fun toe tapping stuff |
