"Hello Bonjour," Michael Franti & Spearhead

Song: "Hello Bonjour"
Album: Yell Fire!
Artist: Michael Franti & Spearhead

Michael Franti packs a lot of lyrics and ideas into this song. My favorite stanza goes:

You say you’re a Christian ’cause God made you,
You say you’re a Muslim ’cause God made you,
You say you’re a Hindu and the next man a Jew
And we all kill each other 'cause god told us to? NAH!

I just think the world could use a lot more of Michael Franti. He's a funky, peace seeking, musical, spirit, sent down to spread some truth. It's hard to stay seated when this song plays; because the music is jumpy, but also because the lyrics offer something to believe in.

Here's the Song Video:


Here's a live version. This shows Franti & Spearhead taking a flat Belgium crowd up to 100% participation.
