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
Bless you both. Music is so powerful, remember the good times, the strong times and the happy times. May your wife be resting in peace, listening to the sound of sunshine ❤
You are welcome. This phase of your life shall be over soon. Remain courageous Bob Marley 'Three little birds' and Bill Withers 'Lovely day' are songs you might also like to get through the day with.
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!
I Couldn't agree more with your comment & I'm right there with you!! 😊 If people spread love & positive energy ⛮ instead of all the hate & negativity today, Imagine what a Wonderful World it could be??!! ✌️❤😊
@@intergalactic_fruitbody Franti was born 9 yrs before Johnson, and Franti had a version of his track *SOMETIMES* on the old movie *Mystery Men Soundtrack in 1999.* Johnson's first track was released nearly a year later, and his first album was released in 2001. How miserable is your entire existence that you're angry about songs that make others feel happy and positive? Get a grip, because it is now 2021. Which is just 8 months after that comment, so I hope your life has improved.
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
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!
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
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
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
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!
Of course it is! I have really good memories of a love affair in Venice, CA in the '70s. I hope it's still the same unique and soulful place now after all these years, but it will always be in my dreams.
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:)
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.
It's the tough times that show us what we're made of. Affirm the life you want and soak in Michael Franti and everything positive you can find, like attracts like my friend, and you are not alone! I love you!
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
Came here during quarantine because I needed some more positivity in my life! Thank you for coming out with so many amazing songs, your concerts are awesome too! Stay safe everyone, we will get through this! 🌊👍
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 😊
Oct 2024. Recovering from hip replacement, one week into recovery and playing my happy music. I feel so much better after having such a very sick hip for 5 years.
It really sucks how underrated Mike Frantti He’s got tons of good songs I guess they never got traction it’s been months sense you released a song much less an album. Please MORE MUSIC
Music is great...but sometimes one song is healing. Someone said it....."makes my soul happy" this is a reminder.....as to who I was....who I am. I see you...youre coming back. And things will be better than you have ever imagined them to be. Be patient..be grateful and keep going.
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
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 (:
"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 :)
You bring the sunshine to so many! I can't wait to see you in concert this Friday! I've been a fan since at least 2010. You have helped me through death, divorce, cancer, surgery, and depression.
According to the news last night we have seen sunshine two days this month, and I'm pretty sure they weren't full days. Thank you, for bringing it to me through your music.
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.
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.
We are so blessed, you don't have to believe in religion or any God to KNOW THIS IS A COOL RIDE MAN!!! Good morning my darlings! It's a new morning, a new day, a new opportunity to change 1 thing in your life that you have control over. You can do it, I am cheering for you. Be kind to yourself and to others. Lots of love to you my sisters and brothers
So cool! Glad u choose the guitar to share your talent. Almost good as my nephew Gary on the guitar (R.I.P. 09-07-15). This song should be #1! Inspiring enjoying life on the ocean with an acoustic! So Cool.
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
I just happen to know that a multinational has bought the underground of my farm down in Ecuador, and will mine my way of bringing sun in this life. Michael, thank you to share this ray of sunshine that I'am loosing.
I only learned of this song about 2-3 years ago and it is the BEST (along with Say Hey I love you)! This one brought me through the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria that destroyed our beloved St. John, USVI. The first time I took the ferry over when we were allowed to return after the storms, I had this in my earbuds and I was in tears of joy.
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 🌅🏞🧡
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
😢😢😢😢
We would play it on the way to his therapy also. This is his acct. Its on his playlist called "love" 😢
Sorry......
May peace be with you 🙏💖🥰
Bless you both. Music is so powerful, remember the good times, the strong times and the happy times. May your wife be resting in peace, listening to the sound of sunshine ❤
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
Hope you have a speedy and peaceful recovery!
Deckonti Tiah thanx so much
Hey Chris, I wish you a speedy recovery. Listen to 'Hey hey hey' if you haven't done so, you will like it as well.
keelecie thanks good song after a hard night of pain
You are welcome. This phase of your life shall be over soon. Remain courageous
Bob Marley 'Three little birds' and Bill Withers 'Lovely day' are songs you might also like to get through the day with.

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.
Awesome
thas legendary.
The is very beautiful !! 🫶🏼💚🔥
Love it ❤ it's a vibe
this song makes my soul happy.
puppyinabox Agreed!
Hopefully my brothers too
If we all listened to this each morning, every day, what a better world it would be. I'll start with me.
I agree
Love your comment! Stay blessed
I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there
Guess I am to
I Couldn't agree more with your comment & I'm right there with you!! 😊
If people spread love & positive energy ⛮ instead of all the hate & negativity today, Imagine what a Wonderful World it could be??!!
✌️❤😊
2024 anyone?
There needs to be more songs like this.
no, there needs to be less songs like other songs. especially like this jack johnson trash.
This honestly gives me some _Curious George: The Movie_ vibes for some reason.
@@intergalactic_fruitbody Jack Johnson’s good we need less trash like Billie Eillish
@@intergalactic_fruitbody Franti was born 9 yrs before Johnson, and Franti had a version of his track *SOMETIMES* on the old movie *Mystery Men Soundtrack in 1999.*
Johnson's first track was released nearly a year later, and his first album was released in 2001.

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

very cool...
Same. I was one if the kids pulled onto the stage. Memories man... Memories...
He is a very sweet man. I met him to!
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
Thank you so much
This song is such a beautiful gift to the world.. thank you God for this song
music is the softest weapon in the world,
hit yourself with music.
Nice quote. I'm stealing it.
Hits myself with a guitar
Softest but hits you like a truck! Lol!!!✌✌✌
To quote Bob Marley...One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. (Trenchtown Rock)
Truth!!!
Butt-freezing cold in Baltimore today. Dreaming of a tropical situation! Love and light to all!
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!
💚💚💚 I hope you’re still going strong 💚💚💚
His music is getting me through life right now…. 💜🙏🏻
Great to have that connection to something especially when life is quite going in the direction that we had hoped for.. ❤️💪🙏🏻
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
Happiest song I've heard in a long time. I need it today.
He has a lot of positive music!
The whole world needs to listen to this simultaneously.
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!
I saw him this year, outdoor show very small venue, absolutely inspiring, the love was BIG BIG , lol I agree with you totally !!!
Essa foi em mais ou menos em 2011 2012 qdo escutei pela primeira vez. Essa liberdade... 🎉
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
We need more happy music like this, not just sad depressing music or love music
This song brings me hope in the troubled times we all are experiencing. To answer Jimi Hendrix's question- yes, your soul is experienced.
I love this song so much. 😊
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
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
When my first grandchild was born- this was our favorite dance song. Oh how I love that little girl💕
😍
"Don't be shy - hug a black guy" ... I love his smile :) Consider yourself hugged, dear friend I haven't met yet!
This man got me over my Mother’s death in 2009…..still love him, his wife and son!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👏
Wow. I have the honor of being his security
Soul surfer was such a good movie
Michael franti got me through covid lockdown and work, and depression!!
Love this song! Can't help but to feel better after listening to it!
SeansTubeNow same
It's impossible to frown when listening to this song, unless it's the end. Another amazing piece by Michael.
My son Sean just sent this to me. I am so blessed and grateful. Thank you God.
2021 December. God bless no ads.
Minha Música De Verão
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...😎
Do you know what obscure means?
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!
This looks so much like Santa Cruz! This song is such good medicine in long winter days with no glimpse of the Sun.
+Joy Wilder It's Venice. :)
Of course it is! I have really good memories of a love affair in Venice, CA in the '70s. I hope it's still the same unique and soulful place now after all these years, but it will always be in my dreams.
This song gives me beach vibes! Miss being in the Caribbean! Never heard of this song until this year and I love this song!
Still here in 2020!
WWWORRRD!!! SAME HERE YO!
Me toooooo
2021
hold my beer

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:)
Michael Franti is a bright light! so inspiring
+Jamie Bryant Truth is The Light shines brightly THROUGH him. He himself needs inspiration and he gets it from the Brighter Light.
Hey I love
Wow, this is such an old comment.
crank up those speakers...
and listen again...
SPRING is here......
and I hear the Sound of Sunshine
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!
First time I heard this song. I like it.

Oct 2024. Recovering from hip replacement, one week into recovery and playing my happy music. I feel so much better after having such a very sick hip for 5 years.
First heard this skiing in Italy… never fails to cheer me up :]
❤❤❤♾♾♾☀️☀️☀️ yay I found you again....my energy.....
Music is our expression of the soul. This song is humanity's manifestation of hope for a better tomorrow.
Michael Fanti had me dancing around the room so happy. Excellent taste in Ladies as well. Love. Sunshine. Freedom. Namaste.
This song turns even the darkest days around...thank you for putting out music like this! I can feel the sounds of sunshine.
Seeing him live in a few days! Can't wait!
Never fails to make me smile.

It really sucks how underrated Mike Frantti He’s got tons of good songs I guess they never got traction it’s been months sense you released a song much less an album. Please MORE MUSIC

I'm sure my husband would just love that.
Michael Franti, your music always make me smile!!!

Me and my dad in like 2014 listened to this and now it’s our song.🙃
After just to say I love you, then the sound of sunshine I knew I had to subscribe. This is great stuff
No need for anti-depression pills, this song works for any bad mood or day.
New listener here and I know I'm late but I didn't miss this train! It's eternal!!!!!!!
Acordei com essa musica na cabeça....espero que fique soando o dia todo!! ;-)))
