    Does this make anyone else eyes tear up? Race? Doesn't matter. Religion? Doesn't matter. Nationality? Doesn't matter. It's just about the music. I've been watching this video for years and it never gets old old. Thank you for this and all the playing for change videos.

      Bless your Dad. I'm sure he is now in a happy painfree place. As I age I realise that we should proudly shout about the kindness and goodness of people. Celebrate them, as you have your Papa, because they are the greatest human beings, not the billionaires who make money off the sweat and misery of people.❤

But but I'll stand by you, if rocking chairs count. I say they do. My only wish, God gave me more legs. When, I see him, I'll talk to him about it. God Rest My Sole

It always softens my heart, makes me smile and makes my eyes water a bit from happiness. Whatever my bad day is, this song by all of these great street musicians always lifts me up.

    My father loves this song, and this specific version of the song. Two months ago he got ill and was sent to the hospital. Later on he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the worst kind of brain cancer. Doctors said treatment was not worth it because if he survived, he would be in coma for the rest of his life, unable to move, talk and even function properly without the help of medical support. He may depart at any moment.
    Dad, I love you with all my heart. Hope to see you again when my time comes. Till then, all I got is the memories of the wonderful time we had together. Thank you for everything you taught me, all the sacrifice you made so I could have a better life. I’ll miss you so much dad. When you meet grandpa and grandma, tell them I said hi, and that I miss them too.

    The first time I watched this video was 6 years ago, when I was in college. At that time I regarded it as a great song which connected great musicians around the world. Now I have worked for almost two years and just quit my job to pursue something I really have passion on. I was confused and lost. I feel alone like an isolated island. And accidentally watch this again, I am deeply touched by the song itself. Really wanna cry

    As a fellow musician, this gives me hope for the world. Spreading a message of positivity and inclusivity through music, a culturally ubiquitous experience, is an amazing one. There is nothing like seeing people of all different cultures, of all different walks of life, join together to sing a song like this almost brings me to tears. This is how we should be. Let this video be a lesson to everyone; this is how the world should be.

Not only that, but it makes me wanna pick up my sax and play. There’s something just so feel good about this that even James Brown is jealous 😄.

    I'm an Englishman who has never travelled to America and through health I never will now, I should have took the chance while I had it. So unfortunately I never heard Roger Ridley play in real life as I believe he performed in that on spot on Santa Monica. I know very little about him except he wanted to change the world to a better place by people all over sharing their musical talent. A simple wish accompanied by music often at its simplest, surely it's not too much to ask? Stay safe everyone and who knows? If you close your eyes and wish hard enough maybe you'll hear Roger singing with Otis, Percy, Sam, BB and many others.

    My mom used to play this when me and my siblings, nieces, and nephews were all kids and would make us dance to it. Hard to believe it’s been almost 2 years since she passed. Still play this every now and then to remember her by. Love you mom ❤️

    This video is spectacular about how sounds merge and I like that the singers are from the street and that they show their talents to everyone.
