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.
My email is back up richard@freakyandfree.com
It's so out of date!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.

McDonald Theater, Eugene, Oregon
8/28/2002
The day got started off with some coffee/tea/chai and special strawberries flavors for the band and crew compliments of Jeremy and Jeremy. The show
wasn't quite sold out but it sure sounded like it was! The McDonald theater has great acoustics so the
1,100 people that where in there sounded like 3,000. The boys came out and opennned the show with Oh My God, sounding strong with Bob leading in on the key. The funky Love is da Shit followed and loosen up the kids for the high energy, What Happens Next.
after a brief cool down, Carl rips into the reggae version of People In the Middle which gets the smell of Oregon's finest in the air. Bob then rolls us in to the slow piano melody of Every Single Soul. Towards the end of the song, after Dave's solo where Saul Williams had been reciting peotry during the sno-core tour, Michael decided to give it a try and blessed us with an old Beatnigs poem/song called, Nature. With great lyrics about people asking Mike if he loves nature so much than why does he live in the city. And he replies that people live in the city and people are his favorite part of nature. Back into Every Single Soul before transitioning into Stay Human. Once again the guys got the chance to display the new sounds from thier effects pedals newly aquired. After showing off a bit, they slowly transitioned into Do You Love. The crowd and the band took a quick breath as Dave began the acoustic riff for Never Too Late and the band shined on. They then brought it back up a notch with Dreamteam and then radio took the spotlight with his Panflute and Beatboxing solos
leading up to the crowd hyper, Rock The Nation. They slowed things down again with the new power
ballad, Love Why Did You Have To Go. This is another song that has come along way from the first version we heard awhlie back as with Everyone Deserves Music. Everyone Deserves Music has
also openned it's self up to be another song that they can do alot with and have some epic jams in the future!
Yes I Will followed and was sounding pretty good in it's own right. Feelin' Free was jammed out for quite abit before closing the set with Soulshine to leave the crowd screaming, yelling and hooting for more in the extremly loud venue! After a 5min. break, the band returned to the stage as Dave played the openning
chords for Love Invinsible. The guys then kicked into the new two song medely of What I Be into Pray For Grace for the first time as an encore. Dave really turned it on for the next song, In The Light. The guys have just reworked the song and if they play it half as well as they did this night on the album, they're sure to have a hit on the new album. I mean Dave Really
shreds his solo up!!!!!!!!!!! Michael even takes a sec. to give Dave mad props for his solo before inviting everyone to the Power to the Peaceful concert next week.
Michael then picks up his acoustic and sings Bomb The World. Next, you guessed it, Sometimes but this time with a twist of Bob Marley's Running Away into a Radio Freestyle back into Marley's Crazy Baldheads after the Nirvana and Michael Jackson covers! Pretty Sweet Show
