February 28, 2010A lot of people have been writing in to the site wondering where they can find the "Hey Hey Hey" song we've been playing live on the John Mayer tour. We are busy working on a recorded version of it for our next album, Sound of Sunshine. But in the meantime, I thought you all might want to read the lyrics so you can better sing along at the show. I know it's not the same as the real song, but I'm going to video an acoustic version with the chord changes soon so stay tuned to www.michaelfranti.com if you want to learn how to sing it and play it. ...

At the time of writing, the weather outside my window has gone from being a glorious display of sunshine and warmth of the last few days to a grey, drab affair that can’t even be bothered of rain.
