Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around the World




While walking down the street in Santa Monica, CA, the Playing For Change crew heard Roger Ridley singing “Stand By Me” from a block away.  His voice, soul and passion set us on a journey around the world to add other musicians to his performance.

This song transformed Playing For Change from a small group of individuals into a global movement for peace and understanding.

This track features over 35 musicians collaborating from all over the world; they may have never met in person, but in this case, the music does the talking.
I love this music....

A Better Place | Playing For Change




Playing for Change is a multimedia music project, created by the American producer and sound engineer Mark Johnson with his Timeless Media Group, that seeks to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. Playing For Change also created a separate non-profit organization called the Playing For Change Foundation, which builds music schools for children around the world.

In 2005, Mark Johnson was walking in Santa Monica, California, when he heard the voice of Roger Ridley (now deceased) singing “Stand By Me.”  Roger had so much soul and conviction in his voice, and Mark approached him about performing “Stand By Me” as a Song Around The World. Roger agreed, and when Mark returned with recording equipment and cameras he asked Roger, “With a voice like yours, why are you singing on the streets?” Roger replied, “Man I’m in the Joy business, I come out to be with the people.” Ever since that day, the Playing For Change crew has traveled the world recording and filming musicians, creating Songs Around The World, and building a global family.

U2 - One/Unchained Melody (Sydney 1993) - with lyric subtitles




Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One

B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone Live From Crossroads Festival 2010

http://youtu.be/dfqHLX3hdcs
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you'll be sorry, some day

The thrill is gone, it's gone away from me
The thrill is gone, it's gone away from me
Although I'll still live on, but so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone for good
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone for good
Someday I'll be open armed
Just like a man should

I'm free free now, I'm free from your spell
I'm free free now, I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over, baby
All I can do is wish you well


I was there.

Queen - 'The Show Must Go On' (Music Video)





Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score?
On and on...
Does anybody know what we are looking for ?

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore

Show must go on!
Show must go on! Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache, another failed romance.
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now.
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

Show must go on!
Show must go on! Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die.
I can fly my friends!

Show must go on!
Show must go on!

I'll face it with a grin.
I'm never giving in
On with the show!

I'll top the bill.
I'll overkill .
I have to find the will to carry on [On with the show]
[With the - ] Show!
Show must go on!

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Gui...



I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Bono and others -- "Let It Be"




When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness,
She is standing right in front of me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people,
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is,
Still a chance that they will see,
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, yeah, let it be.
There will be no sorrow, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, yeah, let it be.
There will be no sorrow, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, yeah, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Hey Jude - Paul McCartney, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Sting, Phil Collins...





Hey Jude, don't make it bad,
take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid,
you were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain,
hey Jude, refrain,
don't carry the world upon your shoulder.

For well, you know that it's a fool
who plays it cool
by making his world a little colder.

Na, na, na, na, na na, na, na. na.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in
hey Jude, begin, you're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you?
Hey Jude, you'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder.

Na, na, na, na, na na, na, na. na.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad,
take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
then you begin to make it better, better, better, better, better, better,

Can't believe you played me out like that (ahhh)

You can't keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself)
Can't believe you played yourself (out) like this

James Taylor - Shower The People - Dallas 6/16/2014 Joined by Son Henry




This is what I do love.
"Shower The People"

You can play the game and you can act out the part,
even though you know it wasn't written for you.
Tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart ashamed of playing the fool?
One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice.
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother, if it feels nice, don't think twice,
just shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will do as I say, just
shower the people you love with love, show them the way you feel.
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.

You can run but you cannot hide, this is widely known.
Tell me, what you plan to do with your foolish pride when you're all by yourself, alone.
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel, you can feel it beginning to ease.
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel always getting the grease.
Better to shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will what I'd like to do to you.
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.

Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
You'll feel better right away.
Don't take much to do, sell you pride.
They say in every life, they say the rain must fall, just like pouring rain, make it rain.
Make it rain, love, love, love is sunshine, oh yes,
Make it rain, love, love, love is sunshine. Everybody, everybody.
