In celebration of Earth Day today, Michael Franti & Spearhead have released a new song, We Are All Earthlings. Michael comments about the song,
“I believe in making music for one reason, which is, I care about people and the planet. ‘We Are All Earthlings’ is a song that honors the beauty and importance of every single living thing on this Earth; a reminder that we are ALL Earthlings and we are in this together,”
“Earth Day is the single largest worldwide environmental event each year. And each year something special happens to set it apart and move our cause just a little bit further down the road. This year we are glad to be able to partner with Michael Franti and his incredible new song ‘We Are All Earthlings.’ It will help us reach out and communicate to new groups of people and make our common concern for the earth just that much more vital and powerful.”
Recently, Franti released a mini-documentary video titled “Why I Make Music” which explores his deep compassion for humanity and how music heals, connects and brings people together for positive change. You can watch it here:
