In 2009 my English teacher played this video for the whole class while I was rolling from a pill I took earlier. I felt like I had ascended to the cosmos floating amongst the void and the stars. I don’t remember most of that day except for that moment. When the video was over I looked down at the floor to see it was wavy like the ocean. Good day overall.
That steel guitar always blows me out of the water!!! I love this from beginning to end! The African girls singing is just wonderful! I never get sick of coming back to You Tube to listen to this ... many times over each time I do!
I watch this video as much as i can!!!!!!!! Let us keep this in our minds, day and night.I was so moved by the heart and soul put into this fabulous song and the meaning that it has.Love to all that made this possible.Deanne Costello Indiana, USA
"Music is a universal language. It is inspiring, calming and unites people; no matter what their ethnic background, age, or social status is. It evokes emotions of love sadness, hope, and eternity. It doesn’t matter whether it is recent music or from the previous centuries; it achieves something that words can’t do." - wrote that for my english teacher and she cried.
SImple the best... There is no place like my beautiful homeland New Orleans, I love it and I miss it a lot. Too bad it doesn't look like it just to be in the late 70's and 80'. I'll go back to that beautiful, picturesque city one of these days... HF
Roger Ridley the gentleman who starts the song passed on a couple months after this music documentary came out, was always a joy to watch him play in Venice Beach.... now his legacy lives through this music video. R.I.P Ridley! Music is indeed universal!
Das ist das Geilste was ich jeh gesehen oder gehört habe!!! In Gedenken an mein besten Freund Dennis Noster! Ich denk ständig an Dich!!! Besonders bei diesem Lied!! Wir sehen uns bald wieder dikker... dein Malan
I just get Holy goose bumps listening to this! I am so thankful the Lord Jesus Christ will always walk with me and stand by me but also so thankful I have wonderful friends and family members who stand by me too! The valleys in life can be so deep for all of us during life's journey! I have my headset on listening to this as always and I love how the instruments split up! What an awesome song!!!
This is the greatest tune.. God I love all these people... soooo great! Thanks so much.. a gift of life. If people could get altogether, would be wonderful. Write to me.
This is exactly what we need as humans....give a chance to the guy or girl sittin next to you....speak to him/her....feel him/her....we are all humans after all...we share the same wonderfull world...feel the love...and share!Peace n unity!Merry Christmas people! :D
i heard this for the first time a week ago and have since then watched it many many times over. simply amazing, wonderful, inspirational. The artists shown here are all awesome. It makes me want to go out, leave my little world and see what the rest of the world has to offer because there is so much talent out there that it's rediculous
Congratulations! to unite people worldwide, around a song so beautiful. Maybe one day the world will be around only one wish: - Happiness for everyone. Do not stop this work.
Music is amazing and put all of us together doesnt matter where we are or who we are! This video gets deep into our hearts! Thanks for posting such as a beautiful things!
Geraldo y Dionisio! Venezuela... q Orgullo! Exelente cancion, exelente mensaje, exelentes artistas! definitivamente uno de los mejores videos qhe visto! no existen las fronteras!
Beatiful Song.....wonderful musicians all over the world, makes me fell a bit sad and lonely, I wish I could find some friends throught You Tube.... God bless you...!
what a brilliant idea!!! this is very simple and yet so touching so musical ... Good lucky with this project!!! building schools of music around the world for poor children. Great!! Music is the language of the universe.
HOW LIFE CAN BE SO SIMPLE, Incomprehensible THE WAY WE LIVE. SAD WORLD FIGHT FOR NOTHING AND NOTHING .... LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHEN LIVED WITH SIMPLICITY .......
Con "el permiso de los "grandes" de la Canción que han interpretado y hecho famoso este bello Tema. Personalmente, es la versión que más me ha llegado ! Son TANTAS veces que ya la he escuchado, más la emoción y sentimiento es la misma ! El Arte musical de las calles, es un potencial impagable y su calidad........ incomparable ! Alguno de estos artistas, lo hacen por necesidad, otros por amor a la música o Arte que manifiesten ..... La entrega....es la misma !!!
What a brilliant version, all the performers are stars in their own right, isn't it amazing how one tune can bring so many people together in harmony. In the words of Shakespeare, "If music be the food of love, play on" In my words "Keep On Rockin" Best wishes Mark
Now that is showing how music connects us as people. We, all musicians, we couldn't even think about making war. All musicians are a worldwide family and this shows how.
La energia tan fantastica que transmitis con esta musica universal a traves de estos videos es estremecedora... cada vez que los veo y oigo mi alma sube y mi cuerpo no puede parar con el ritmo... gracias por estos momentos que nos haceis vivir.... y por este trabajo que haceis...
Best i´ve ever seen and heard! So much soul! Bring all these guys and girls to Sweden and I will sleep outside the stadion for a week to get a ticket!!! /// FROM SWEDEN
Mit Abstand das beste Stand By Me. Ich kann es immer wieder hören
