Playing for Change

Stand By Me:


Playing For Change: Peace Through Music is an amazing project! You will feel happy, inspired and hopeful after you listen to/watch just one of the many songs/videos that were compiled by the crew at PFC. They travelled around the world recording street musicians playing the same song and then put that music together to create one powerful song sung by many. The result is a wonderful example of the beauty and peace we are capable of creating.

Mark Johnson and the PFC crew believe that "music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race." I believe it too. If you want to learn more or participate, go to: Playing For Change

Thanks for sharing this project, Suzanne! I dedicate this post to my mom.
