  • This was really good...was the guy from amsterdam trippin ....i mean seriously?

  • And if so... where can I get some?

  • from a litto coffee shop(;

  • That is my Grandpa, not my biological grandfather, but my Grandpa just the same. He taught me the ropes as a new street artist there in Pirates' Alley in New Orleans, and taught my daughter many things about her instrument. He gives 24/7. Grandpa is as wonderful a person as he is a musician!

  • This is something truly, truly beautiful and a perfect example of the director's point that music can bring us all together and inspire us to be better than we are.

  • JUST BRILLIANT!!!!!!!! I LOVE!!!!!!! Watched this video about 3 times already. It touches me soooooo much!!!!!!

  • ME he emocionado!!!!

    que labor tan bonita reunir tantas voces y talento!!!

    y pensar q hay muchas hermosas voces y musicos desconocidos por alli en las calles del mundo....

  • this is amazing

  • muito massa!!!

  • I will ! :D Stand for you!

  • I think it's high time we all stand by each other.

    Waiting for our political and religious leaders to fix things is futile.

    The people of the world want peace. We're gonna have to that on our own...

    I will stand for this...who will stand with me???......

  • nicely said

  • Let's all just stand - hope is real!!

  • this goes to show that there is still good music in the world you just have too look harder

  • creo que ya mero me la aprendo....

  • We're so cool.

  • The recording of all these different artists would be so hard!!!!

    The quality is great and there is such a diverse crowd, I'm blown away!

    This video is a inspiration to be yourself and realize that by doing so you are a true human/real person...

  • It is a Success! Comfort and Inspiration to the people. Excellent Production!

  • Very moving!

  • Very moving. Had tears in my eyes. The power of music. Very outstanding job.

  • These are the talented ppl who should go for American Idol or the Britans got talent....People who sing their hearts out for that it touches every other heart around them...Beautiful...Ya I agree 82 mage, the singer from Netherland was did a very touching performance...Amazing...Made my day...= )

  • It's Amazing the emotion that the singer from Netherlands sings with he really is singing his heart out. Also I love how much emotion the violin and saxophone give to the song, you never hear it like that anywhere else, it just adds so much its unreal!

  • I agree. Although...there was violin in there? I saw and heard a cello, but when was the violin??

  • My 72 yr old dad sent me this and it is by far the best gift he has ever given me. I tear almost every time I watch it and in the 3 days I have had this I have watched it about 15 times. I so love it that I ordered it immediately. It is so awesome to see musicians from around the world playing for change. Beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much, Autumn

  • c'est du tres tres lourd bravo!

  • this is music, got dammit!!

  • I saw Playing For Change in concert last night in Seattle. What a great show! If you get a chance to see them, do it.

  • We people should get a gun and kill ourself since this song got 82000 views and avril songs got over 100,00,00 views...seriously our world is going nowhere...

  • note that this isnt the original video. the actual video has gotten 8 million views but i agree wit ya

  • ....how does that actually make any..sense? "because other people are doing other stuff, we should give up, and kill ourselves?"

    The whole point is to inspire positive change.....

  • the original video of playing for change stand by me on you tube as more than 8 millions views !!!

  • I just learned from my brother who works in a restaurant in the French Quarter...New Orleans...that Grandpa Elliot is without his sight (blind). What he lacks in sight he makes up for with the musical picture he paints. I will be in N. O. in the spring and help Grandpa Elliot all I can and I hope everyone will do the same!Grandpa Elliot...What an inspiration! Thanks!

  • that was awesome

  • I love Grandpa Elliot in this video...

    Especially when he starts playing the harmonica..

  • Thank you... We must unite AS people... love each other. togetherness is love one another Togetherness is like a sister and brother.

  • Simplemente maravilloso. No hay palabras para describirlo. Viendo y escuchando esta canción me siento orgulloso de ser un ser humano.

    Great, absolutely wonderfull. There just are not words great enough to describe this. I'm very proud to be a part of the human race.

  • oh my goood. GREAAAAAT . PEOPLE !! WE MUST LOVE EACH OTHER!!! . I was crying during 2 hours.

  • Nice!

  • This is the best version of this song .Thank you

  • I imagine John, in Heaven, smiling, with a tear in his eye and thinking "They really understand..."

  • Sublime. The standard of all standards. Thank you for posting this conscious piece.

  • Absolutely wonderful!!

  • I am a 51 year old musician,I've seen a few videos. Never,Never have I seen so much heart in one video.I watch this video daily hoping we all get to the place these guys are.I will be in New Orleans in the spring and I WILL stand by Grandpa Elliot for a picture and make a donation...I only wish I could see them all and thank them for the hope they give me.

  • I feel the same way i got to get to New orleans and give grampa Elliot a big hug this spring. Hopefully we're getting the world together the way it was suppose to be.

  • This is a real America to me. 8 years of America be disliked from the world with that Bush policies, but for sure America has a right people like Mark Johnson and Jonathan Walls to realize this beautiful project around the world. Great people!

  • OMGosh,Thank you so much. This hard hearted old broad was crying at this beautiful intermix of nationalities. Music and art are truly universal connectors and ... this really did it for me. There just are not words great enough to describe this. Now, let's tap the street singers from other countries who play instruments we do not know the names of but still touch our souls.

  • this is the best version of this song U will ever hear,,EXCELLENT,, I WOULD BUY THIS. GREAT JOB,,,RPANDA

  • Absolutely beautiful, made me teary!! Love this little bit of happiness you shared :-)

  • world domination :D music is a great passion :)

  • fantastic!!!!

  • this is just great...i love it.

  • really nice so beautiful .....peace through music ...thats what we want

  • great video........wouldn't it be nice if it actually worked?

  • how amazing!!! The world is indeed flat and music may just get us past our differences

  • Every time I see and hear it again, there is more substance. The thing is, they are in sync. Maybe one sang in November and one played in August, one in Italy and another in New Mexico, but the music holds them together across time and space. Amazing.

  • Well said. It gives one, even an old one, hope,

  • great work.. great musician.. Great song.. great director.. simply amazing..

  • I have listened and watched this video a dozen times and it still fills my heart with love for everyone in the world........great job putting it together

  • wonderful! so much positive energy in it!

  • All the music was recording LIVE outside around the world. More to come in 2009 - Playing For Change.

  • Speechless.*****

  • very amazing!

  • great video and even better message Music is one of the most unique arts that touches all "who listen" even casually.. and sometimes common emotion that touches us all..(smile)

    thank God for Music...

  • My 82 year old mom saw this on Bill Moyer's show yesterday, and today couldn't stop talking about it. It really impressed her. She didn't understand how these musicians all over the World could sing in sync like this. It is a very beautifull musical composition. I would like to hear more songs like this.

  • G'day Mate, Did you read the comment carefully, the woman in question is 82 yrs old. How many 82 yr olds do you know who would even know about mixing it down later. Maybe a little bit of compassion would go a lot further than smug clever know it all comments, but then again that's the problem with todays society so many people have no heart and have forgotten how to feel even a little bit for our fellow man. Nat.

  • Age is no excuse for ignorance.

    You might have just as well said "His mom is 82 and has lived in the city all her life - how do you expect her to know that milk comes from cows and not from supermarket?"

    I'm quite certain that his mother knows of VCRs and other devices for recording and later playback. You don't have to know how the mixing and editing process goes to understand that videos are not made at the same time.

  • I going to try and remove your inconsiderate comments from this video. It just spoils the entire purpose of this video and brings so much negativity to this beautiful feeling everyone with your "knowledge". Spare us please
