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

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

this song makes my soul happy.

If we all listened to this each morning, every day, what a better world it would be. I'll start with me.

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.

There needs to be more songs like this.

music is the softest weapon in the world, hit yourself with music.

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!

Still here in 2020!

This man got me over my Mother’s death in 2009…..still love him, his wife and son!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👏

Happiest song I've heard in a long time. I need it today.

Butt-freezing cold in Baltimore today. Dreaming of a tropical situation! Love and light to all!

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

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!

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

"Don't be shy - hug a black guy" ... I love his smile :) Consider yourself hugged, dear friend I haven't met yet!

This song brings me hope in the troubled times we all are experiencing. To answer Jimi Hendrix's question- yes, your soul is experienced.

yes

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

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...😎

Love this song! Can't help but to feel better after listening to it!

It's impossible to frown when listening to this song, unless it's the end. Another amazing piece by Michael.

We need more happy music like this, not just sad depressing music or love music

My son Sean just sent this to me. I am so blessed and grateful. Thank you God.

Michael Franti is a bright light! so inspiring

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.

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 got me through covid lockdown and work, and depression!!

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!

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

Listening to this song makes me feel so grateful to God and thankful to be alive

crank up those speakers... and listen again... SPRING is here...... and I hear the Sound of Sunshine

Pretty cool song.. nice melody to it. very positive and upbeat.. well done Michael Franti!

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

Soul Surfer brought me here !!!

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! 🌊👍

Music is our expression of the soul. This song is humanity's manifestation of hope for a better tomorrow.

This song turns even the darkest days around...thank you for putting out music like this! I can feel the sounds of sunshine.

When my first grandchild was born- this was our favorite dance song. Oh how I love that little girl💕

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 (:

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.

This song gives me beach vibes! Miss being in the Caribbean! Never heard of this song until this year and I love this song!

No need for anti-depression pills, this song works for any bad mood or day.

I can proudly say this song plays at my work every day and It makes my day! :D

Never fails to make me smile.

I wish modern music still had this level of chill...

"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 :)

(1, 2, 3) I wake up in the morning and it's 6 o'clock. They say there may be rain but the sun is hot. I wish I had some time just to kill today, And I wish I had a dime for every bill I had to pay. Some days you lose you win and the water's as high as the times your in. So I jump back into where I learn to swim. Try to keep my head above it as best I can. That's why; Here I am, Just waiting for this storm to pass me by. And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down... (Aye, aye, ayeehey...) I saw my friend Bobby he said, "What's up man? You gotta little work or a twenty to lend?" I opened up my hand He said I'm glad to see, they can take away my job but not my friends you see. And here I am just waiting for this storm to pass me by. And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down (Here we go) I want to go where the sun will never end With my guitar on the beach there with all my friends The sun so hot and the waves in motion and everything smells like suntan lotion, the ocean, and the girls so sweet So kick off your shoes and relax your feet 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 And that's the sound of sunshine coming down And now say You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down. You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down Sing; You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes down. You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes That's the sound of sunshine coming down And that's the sound of sunshine coming down (Aye, aye aye, Ha, aye aye)

Michael Franti, your music always make me smile!!!

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.

Michael you make me smile in the midst of tears.

First heard this skiing in Italy… never fails to cheer me up :]

This song feels so good. If it doesn't change your mood nothing will.

The whole world needs to listen to this simultaneously.

This makes me really happy :)

Nice songs, they make me happy

saw this man on the Bill Maher Show via HBO Demand. I then went to KZfaq...Awesome, just Awesome!

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

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 😊

Me and my dad in like 2014 listened to this and now it’s our song.🙃

This a beautiful song...cheers me up on the worst days :)

Hey brother you are the BEST. Keeping my head up during this pandemic. Stay rad and cool with the fam in Bali. Keep inspiring!!! xx

If this song doesn't get someone in a positive, happy mood, something's wrong!

Such a uplifting song

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

2021 December. God bless no ads.

I absoluteley love this song.Everytime im down it brings me back up and makes me wanna dance.Don't you guys feel like dancin everytime you hear it?

I danced to this song when I was 6 years old. The nostalgia is hitting me hard 🥺

I heard this in a Bar I liked what I heard. Now it's on my Play list. ✌️😎 🌞

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

More songs like this, and less rioting in this country!

this song instantly puts me in a good mood

Soul surfer was such a good movie

I used to listen to this song with my former step-dad, this song gives me great vibes and reminds me of the memories. Thank You Micheal 🙏🏽❤

Playing this song all the way up with my windows open introducing my neighbors to good music 😋😛❤️❤️❤️

OMG I love this artist. Makes me feel good.

I heard this song when I was on holiday in Italy, and I heard it on the radio! Such a great great summersong! This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down, keep it up Michael Franti you're making beautiful music!

How can you dislike a song that brings joy to the world?

I love you Michael Franti I came to your concert this summer

Acordei com essa musica na cabeça....espero que fique soando o dia todo!! ;-)))

This song always lifts me out of whatever funk I'm in. Thank you!

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.

wow this bring memorys back then I wish I could go back and being a kid. now I'm a adult gotta work just to survive

Makes me feel sooo warm on a cold day ^_^

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

driving to the beach in an old car. windows rolled down. sunshine soaking into your skin. this is the song thats playin. this is a perfect moment.

My brother said this was the happiest song he knew.

I live in sardinia:-)i hear the sound of sunshine and sea everyday..Oh yeah!

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

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 Love this song!!! It's being added to my Happy Song favorites! You're giving "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz some stiff competition for #1 spot! 💚🌞❤😎💜✌💙🤙💛🏖💗

Anyone still listening in 2018?

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 🌅🏞🧡

Listening to this while I'm on the way to the beach....☺️❤🌊⛱☀️

I remember reading somewhere that he hadn't worn shoes for something like 7 years....craziness

"Here I am, just waiting for this storm to pass me buy." 3/18/20

This is the kind of music I WANT stuck in my head.

I'm so glad the first music concert I've ever been to was his it was literally legendary and I thank him for the experience didn't meet him or anything I just was really happy which didn't happen often.
