Michael Franti & Spearhead | I Got You (Official Music Video)
#MichaelFranti #WorkHardandBeNice Stream “I Got You”: https://orcd.co/work-hard-and-be-nice Pre-Save / Pre-Order The New Album by Michael Franti & Spearhead - Work Hard And Be Nice - Out June 19th: https://orcd.co/work-hard-and-be-nice A message from Michael Franti: This song is about how we support those around us, dream beyond our four walls, and grow deeper in connection to those we love (despite physical distancing), no matter what we face or how hard it seems in the moment. We were challenged to create a video for a song about having a partner who helps you get through the darkest moments of life and helps you "love deeper, fly higher, see clearer, burn brighter, than we ever did before," while being stuck on lockdown. Because we didn't have the benefit of changing locations to shoot scenes that match lines like, "Like I wanna take you on a motorcycle ride, through the sugar cane in the countryside" or "Ya we can swim oceans, climb mountains, dance like nobody's watching, live life like we never did before!", we worked for what felt like a bazillion hours, after we shot the video on an iPhone, to edit the effects painstakingly, frame by frame. Even though the song isn't directly about COVID quarantining, its unique style was born out of the fact that all of us around the world are having to do the best we can, with the limited resources we have during home isolation. Directed and Produced by Michael Franti Cinematography and Editing by Michael Franti & Nathan Thoen
