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.
One Love
Don't Worry
War/No More Trouble
Did it get dusty wherever you are? Or are you smiling big and bright?
