So if you’ve read my blog lately you can see I just spent a week with Michael Franti being inspired by him and all he represents. I also spent the week with his wife Sarah and 34 other strangers from all over the world for the Soulrocker yoga retreat. At this retreat Michael uses his gift of music as well as shares his passions for humanity and all it represents. His music is just a piece of him, a magical piece, but there is much more to him as well. He shared such incredible songs with powerful lyrics that I absolutely cannot wait to listen to once his new album is out (6/1). These songs are so beautiful and well written, they strike chords within me so deep that when I heard a couple for the first time I cried. Michael takes what I’m thinking and is able to put it in words and translate those words to music. It’s like he is inside my mind and able to express what I’m not able to.
The Sound of Sunshine will forever be one of my favorite songs as I heard it many times at the retreat. I also had the pleasure of staying in the now hotel room where it was recorded. The Sound of Sunshine room used to be a recording studio. I love the message of Stay Human as it means such a wide variety of things. If you haven’t before, listen to Michael and let him inspire you!
