PinExt Stand By Me Sung Around the World for Playing For Change

Call me sentimental and a sucker for this sort of thing, but Aimee popped me this link and I watched the whole thing through, and you should too — will make you feel much lovelier this Thursday… stand by me:

From the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”, comes the first of many “songs around the world” being released independently. Featured is a cover of the Ben E. King classic by musicians around the world adding their part to the song as it travelled the globe. This and other songs such as “One Love” will be released as digital downloads soon; followed by the film soundtrack and DVD early next year.
