Michael Franti
I always know when a song is good or close to finished. When I sing it, it makes me feel the emotion. My tears will start flowing or I'll start laughing. I'll start feeling whatever intensity or emotion was the seed of that song.
Michael Franti
I've always found that the poorer the places that I go, the more smiles I see, and the more happiness I see.
Michael Franti
When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world.
Michael Franti
There are so many things to be worried about, and I wanted to make a record that people could put on, and it would lift them up the way the sun did for me each day.
Michael Franti
Whenever people go out of their way to help other people - there's power and beauty in our diversity.
