Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals - Jah Work (A Lewis Marnell Tribute)

Ben Harper is helping to raise money for the family of Australian pro skateboarder Lewis Marnell, whose untimely death in January at the age of 30 left his family in dire financial straits. A lifelong skateboarding enthusiast and friend to skaters around the world, Harper has reunited with the Innocent Criminals for the first time since 2007 to re-record the song "Jah Work" from his 1997 album, "The Will to Live." The song is now available on iTunes, with all proceeds going to the Lewis Marnell family memorial fund.
"Lewis was a brilliant artist and athlete not to mention a truly beautiful soul. We loved him and his contributions to skating, and we thought a song would be a wonderful way to celebrate his life and help his family." said Harper.
Marnell died Jan. 18 from complications of diabetes, a disease he lived with from the age of 10. He did not allow his condition to impede his meteoric skateboarding career. He skated with such passion and style that can't be replicated, he made all his tricks look effortless and his love for life was infectious. In 2008 he made his mark when he went pro for Almost Skateboards and he was named Skater of the Year from Australian skateboarding magazine slam. Marnell got married in late 2012, and died only a few months later, leaving his family with a large debt. Global efforts to help the family financially ensued, with Harper's being the latest.
All proceeds go the family of Lewis Marnell

Vero e lui è un grandissimo artista che amo profondamente perché oltre ad avere un talento smisurato ed una spiritualità al di fuori dal comune è, musicalmente parlando , forse il musicista più crossover di questa generazione avendo spaziato in molteplici generi nella sua carriera ..Un brano fra tanti che amo ?"

[@Lightworker1111Official]

Unbelievable, I listened to this sond probably 30 times yesterday, and I'm on 5 so far, but the day is still young !!❤❤🙏👼❤✌❤ Today let us all consciously try to walk like Jesus, no confrontations, only Love and Forgiveness. We are all brothers and sisters, and strangers aren't strangers, they are just family members that we haven't met yet!! The happiness and paradise that we have been promised our whole life is soooo close you wouldn't believe it !! It starts with us and kindness, I know how beaten down and hurting we all are, but try to bury it and your ego, and just LOVE. God is within every single one of us, bury the hate and resentment, choose GOD not the devil, the devil has run this place long enough, NOW IS OUR TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR HOME !!! You can do it because I can do it!!! I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU OUT THERE, why wouldn't I?? WE ARE FAMILY !!! GOD BLESS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES Amen !!❤🙏👼❤❤🙏👼❤✌❤ Please continue to have faith and to walk like Jesus, everytime something upsets you, STOP before you react.... and just actually think.... Hmmm what would Jesus do??? And then act like that, please this is how we Heal This Place. God is in you, so use his LOVE !!! ❤🙏👼❤❤🙏👼❤✌❤

Where the heck have I been all this time...I just recently heard this wonderful song.

[@JahTung]

This has always been one of my favourite Ben Harper songs. In fact, you was one of the main artists who led me to reggae music and eventually Rastafari. I've seen you live a few times and often used to perform a few of your songs. Then reggae music kind of took over my life around 12 years ago ha ha. I was just in a more acoustic kind of mood tonight and listened to "Waiting On An Angel" and could not control the tears. The power of music and specifically, your music, is phenomenal. I give thanks King! For the memories, the inspiration, the energy and emotion. Truly. Full Raspect and manners, Jah Tung
