Beautiful Global Collaborative Covers by Street Musicians

Be prepared for it to get real dusty wherever you are. I logged into my facebook account earlier and saw a shared video link from Mona. Since she usually shares awesome links I clicked through and was blown away. The link was to a Gizmodo post titled Best Video I've Seen Today Will Make You Smile, which featured a video from street musician Roger Ridley. He basically travelled the world recording street musicians covering a song and then adding other musicians to the base track. The first video I saw from this movement/documentary, called Playing for Change: Peace Through Music, was a global collaborative cover of the Ben. E King song Stand By Me. It was so amazingly well done I immediately started looking for more songs from Playing for Change.

Standy By Me

As Jesus from Gizmodo said, if that video doesn't make you shed a tear or smile then there's something wrong with you. Check to see if your heart is still beating because this song is simply beautiful but deeply powerful. Wow.
