More quotes by Michael Franti
The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
Michael Franti
The hardest part about what I do, the most vulnerable place is my relationship with my family and Sara, my amazing partner, because I'm leaving a lot. And as a touring artist, I'm constantly coming and going, but also when I'm at home, my studio's at home. I'm leaving to go into a music world in my head.
Michael Franti
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.
Michael Franti
Don't fear the night time, Because the monsters know that you're divine. And don't fear the sunshine, Because everything is better in the summer time...
Michael Franti
When we all see justice, then we'll all see peace!
Michael Franti
Everyone deserves music.
Michael Franti
I want to promote positivity.
Michael Franti
Sometimes, I feel like I can do anything, and, sometimes, I'm so alive, sometimes, I feel like I could zoom across the sky and, sometimes, I wanna cry.
Michael Franti
It's also hard for me to understand growing up not knowing where I came from. I searched for my parents - I started when I was twenty I found both my mother and my father when I was twenty-two. Trying to catch up on twenty-two years that we can never get back, trying to reconcile that - that's a hard thing for me.
Michael Franti
My goal has not ever been to change minds, my goal is to open minds.
Michael Franti
Every single soul is a poem.
Michael Franti
Johnny Cash was a rebel, not only just in the musical sense, but he was somebody who was for the people, and an advocate for labor, for workers, for prisoners, people who have been trapped by the criminal justice system.
Michael Franti
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.
Michael Franti
The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action.
Michael Franti
I believe that in order to tackle the big issues of the world today, like environmental issues, we need everybody's involvement. We need the resources of the corporate world. We need the cooperation of governments. We need the wisdom of indigenous people.
Michael Franti
Many kids in foster homes have a lot of emotions that are hard to get out. It's important to let them know they can make a difference in the community.
Michael Franti
If the first casualty of war is innocence, then perhaps with each bullet fired, bomb detonated, leader overthrown, wall built, economy destroyed and family member killed, we are not creating goodwill and harmony, but rather another child who believes violence is the only means to bring about change in the world.
Michael Franti
Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good.
Michael Franti
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
Michael Franti
We only have X amount of days and time on this planet - how am I going to spend that time? The way that I want to spend it is caring about the people that I love the most, and fighting to make the world a more livable place for everybody.
Michael Franti
