Such a beautiful human being.
Living legend!!!!! I don't even have the words.
Bobby McFerrin is truly inspirational.
i been alive for 27 years i thought he had a jamaican accent.
Lol...me too
This man may speak any language dialect anytime. I believe he's genius IQ or close to it. I didnt know Dont Worry Be Happy went multi platinum.....he doesn't do average normal at times. He didnt tour much after that album.....he hid away. Learned to conduct symphonies?! He is so so talented
Watch his Documentary.....blew away....
nope, that was Bob Marley)
I think he has a few Gurus, While warming up, I've heard him begin with a character.
I wish I could meet him
This good man's music helped me raise three terrific kids all by myself.
I will love him forever!!!!!!!!!
💙😘🎶🤩💚
Bobby is a really cool cat. Love his music and seems like quite a loving brother.
This video is super inspirational for any musicians. Thank you Bobby! 🙏😀
Even if I am not part of any religion, I feel that is important to listen to what people are saying about their faith.
And I do feel/understand what he means, as the vast majority of people in the world, spiritually and musically.
What he's saying is beyond religion, and this sounds to me deep, necessary... now more than ever...
What a wonderful human being
What a sweet human being. Το πιο καλοσυνατο προσωπο που εχω δει. ❤
Amen 🙏🏼
Thank you, Bobby...for sharing your gifts with us. We have been so blessed listening to the sounds that come out of you. God bless you and your family this new year!

Great spirit. Great insight. Great interview.

I find this to be one of the most profound and simple discussions of living uplifting lives....especially for Artists even... Just running across this Bobby McFerrin interview was no coincidence... Some things as McFerrin so eloquently put it, drop in our laps for extending our understandings even more of possibilities... yeah.
Yes I do feel your spirit, your soul, your music connects to source, light, divine.
I hope he releases "Psalms" !!!

On the art of moving people, fabulous, touching interview with a loving, compassionate soul
Good lord, even his speaking voice is soothing. I like his quiet, thoughtful and reflective style of speech.
I so needed to hear this today. I thought I was going to get a music theory run through and went to church instead.
what an inspiring interview. Thank you.
Happy 65th birthday Bobby!
What an awesome and inspiring man.Thanks for posting this!!!!!!!!
that was beautiful. thank you. so many great, inspiring thoughts.
A truly inspiring individual...
Don't leave out questions of the questioner pls.: Sometimes the answer goes the other (or similar) way. Thank you Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly for this interview.
Bobby still handsome! ^_^ But, besides that, his way of speaking is so beautiful, you can tell this man's soul is deep. I get a really good vibe from him. :) But, remember ya'll it was all because of his momma.. Uplift women and we'll uplift you.
This is such a GREAT interview with so many, important spiritual things from the heart of Bobby. More people need to hear this, and more artists (true artists, that is!) need to share their spiritual journey, free from the crap we dress it up in.
Thank you. I choose blessings!
Every time I hear "Lift Every Voice" ... and anything i hear from you Bobby McFerrin .. because I hear a prophet speaking more than words.
He said..I don't see it as tripping and falling over a rock...I see it as tripping over a Pearl that will take me someplace.....
Yes, I agree. Light and Love along your way.
Blessed man
My sweet angel of music 🙏😍

Thanks so much for the post , what a sweet and thoughtful , human being, humble and inspiring man. I simply cannot get not get enough of this man speaking about the Spirit and Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hameshia and our bodies are vessels and The Temple of The Spirit.

The voice of the univerce BobbyI am the mother of Georgi,Tanita,pianoplayer and singer from Bulgaria.Mr.mcferin,you are my idol
I adore
❤
Robert, you look like your sweet mom. Amazing!
Bobby is a really very cool cat :) inspiring !!
he is a phylosophist of our times
I love his music but I didn't know he is religious, well specifically, I am an atheist but one of my favourite is be happy.
May the Lord Jesus Christ come into your life! I will remember you in my prayers
I'm glad he feels so. About being positive.
But there is something to angry or sad music. It might make you more angry or more sad....for a bit -BUT- music that typically is seen as having a negative emotion....makes people feel not alone.
The loneliness of being the ONLY one, makes you shut down and surprise emotions to survive. So something that makes you feel more (whether it's positive or negative) is a good kind of healthy.
Rebellious music for those in a bad spot, abused and trapped by toxic authority. Show-boat music for those who (though obviously hiding behind insecurities themselves) want to make others and themselves feel better about themselves - even if it evokes tribalism that they were definitely victim of. Sad music to help keep them old contacts (broken glasses) wet when you cant afford the drops. Just sharing the joy of having. Just sharing the feeling of not being alone in a messed up situation.
Just the fight to not give up all hope ever. To tell someone in a bad spot to just be happy is salt in the cut.
It's great for him that he likes to spread positivity, and he does a great job of that.
But there is something still nice to be said about musicians who end up pushing another form of expression.
Even most music about drugs, has lyrics on the consequences to the person (and the ones they love from) taking drugs - illegal or not.
Point is.... Music. End of rant
On being just be a being and love him who caused your being to be! La ilaha illallahu wallahu Akbar, Muhammad saw rasulullah, wa Aliyan waliyullah as.
This man is a saint.
Ima be him when I grow up
Is Bobby McFerrin a Christian??
Yeeep
Shocking, I know, but there are actually a lot of outstanding human beings who are theists of one kind or another.
My take on it is that good people will be good people with or without theology; shitty people will be shitty with or without theology.
Theology may color how their goodness or shittiness is expressed, how it comes out, but in the great majority of cases it will not make them better or shittier.
ssppeellll it was just a question, if he is a brother in Christ that's amazing, if he's not he's not a bad person it's just unfortunate
Not such thing as an angry Christian? Angry is not Christian is human emotion that every single person on the planet has experienced. I believe in Christ and sometimes I get angry. I am sure I am not alone. But I do believe that we should aim to control that behavior. And when we fall short ask forgiveness and repent and find new was to deal with that natural emotion. I admire and respect his body of work and aim for even 2% of the technical breath work he has. He’s the reason I song for the first time watching Sesame Street. I never stop sing after that show I was very young under 7 years.
Peter chopped off a Roman soldiers ear....angry? Yes...then Jesus said, the ear is going to be healed. But the same angry guy became that rock, used by Jesus.

Someone i would like to know…TheGr8Jeff
He wanted to become a monk. So he is!
How about wild media christianity? A wild christian one can be--sort of like Jesus was?
No Bobby the media is zionist, not Christian but I love your Art.
He looks like the black Jesus.
Great guy, surprised he's into the slave religion but it is what it is.
True Messiah Yeshua Has Feet of Bronze He won't be a White Khzarian Imposter..
He’s humanity at its best. It doesn’t require belief in religious nonsense.
you were going well until you talk about new years eve!!! . what about the holy days and not holidays!!!?? be woke!!!
