Stand By Me

I stumbled upon this video recently and totally fell in love with it. It may have been done in 2004 but the song is timeless. What makes it even more poignant, many street musicians around the world collaborated on this without even meeting each other. It was the brainchild of a group called "Playing For Change". Music bonds everybody.

"This song says, no matter who you are, no matter where you go in your live, at some point you are going to need somebody to stand by you." - Roger Ridley, Santa Monica, California, 2004

The above line was mentioned by one of the street musicians and I felt that it strikes a chord with everyone. We cannot always think only of ourselves for sooner or later, those who we work against, may be the one that actually stands by us.
