Songs From The Front Porch

A Little Rain
We could use a little rain
What the world needs is a little rain
Tomorrow the sun will come again
What the world needs is a little rain

Do u rap for the money...or for fame..or for yourself?
To me, success is like a tree. you plant seeds and you hope to grow strong roots that can hold up a strong trunk, and have a lot of branches that spread out wide with lots of leaves to catch a lot of sunlight and a lot of rain. and in time, your tree will bear fruit, and you can eat that fruit or you can share it with your friends or you can plant the seeds back in the ground and plant more trees, or you can use it to fertilise, but it's not like a gold statue that you put on your fireplace, cos if you put fruit up on your fireplace it will rot and stink up your living room.

Love Kamikaze: The Lost Sex Singles
Micahel Franti will do solo acoustic shows in Melborune and Sydney when Spearhead come to Austrailia for the Melbourne Jazz and Blues festival. The shows coincide with the release of a new limited edition CD, Love Kamikaze: The Lost Sex Singles, which features six previously unreleased Franti/Spearhead tracks. It seems the CD will be on sale at the shows (and possible later on Spearheadvibrations just like Songs From The Front Porch.)

I Know I'm Not Alone
Dan has found a video of the song I Know I'm Not Alone, the first time it was played. The lyrics are also available. Thanks Dan.
New lyrics
We've added some new lyrics (see below). Dan has sorted them all out. All songs are unreleased and lyrics taken from live performances.
We're back!

Thanks to Matt and Jen of loveisdashit.com for getting us back up - updates soon and please report any torubles with the site.

It's so out of date!
It was been pointed out on the Spearhead Music Board that our chords (and also lyrics) are unreliable (incorrect). This is a communication failing on our part. Also an indication of our slackness. Most of the chords and lyrics have been sourced from the first (or early) live perfomrance. Some songs have since been commercially released with slight (or major) changes. It has been an oversight on our part NOT to indicate the source performance of the lyrics or chords. In future we will endeavour to attribute the source of the lyrics or chords. For example, both the chords and lyrics of Bomb The World were taken from an early live performance, the lyrics and chords are not an entirely accurate in regard to the CD release.

We have recently posted chords and ltrics to a new song Life-saver. It was posted by loveisdashit.com from a March 30th performance at Santa Rosa. Who knows, if it will ever recieve an offical CD release and with what differences in lyrics, melody or in key? From now on we will acknowledge the source of these lyrics (and maybe even update when a commerical release is made!) in order to communicate the accuracy against an officail release.

Over the next few weeks we will attempt to go through the all lyrics and chords to acknowledge their source.

Thanks for your patience and understanding with this! This site will now focus on lyrics, cd covers for the field recordings, general info, setlists and past tour info.

If you have any chords or other info please send it in - even if you sent it before! I lost all my old emails as well.
