  • We are proud to share our new Song Around The World, “I Still Haven't Found What I´m Looking For,” by U2, to send a message to the relatives of missing people in the world: you are not alone in the search of your loved ones. This is a joint project by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Playing For Change in honor of the International Day of the Disappeared. This video features over 40 extraordinary musicians from 13 countries who played several instruments and combined their magnificent voices.
    In the world, each day, dozens of people disappear for diverse causes related to armed conflicts, violence, natural disasters and on the migration route, among others. Some of their families have had no news of their missing loved ones for more than 20 years. Together, and through music, we would like to express our solidarity to those who are facing the profound and universal feeling of losing a loved one. The families of missing people will not stop searching, nor will we stop helping
    them.
    We would like to thank all of the amazing musicians for their contribution and sharing their enormous talent with this project.

      "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about, Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free".

      I live here on the island of Kauai. When I heard Olivia Ruffs voice tears poured forth from my eyes.
      I realized how soothing the gentle air, the amazing beauty, power of the mountains, amazing talent of our islands people. I feel so blessed just to live here on this island, this earth, this galaxy, this cosmos, this universe. I even have hope for our humanity to return to peace and end our senseless attacks on one another. It starts
      by realizing how I treat my brothers and sisters is how I treat myself united in our oneness. Mahalo Playing for Change for collaborating a masterpiece of everyday people around the planet!

      I've been following (and donating to) PFC for years also. I'm 69 and not ashamed to say that nearly every one of their videos makes me weep, the ones with children smiling and singing and dancing tears at my heart no matter how many times I watch. Two of my favorites are "Love Train" with Jason Mraz and "Love Is All" with children playing and singing. "Love Is All" shows an African children's choir and there are two boys wearing yellow shirts that make me hope their smiles never fade. I just replied to a guy on another thread that the music will outlive us all which is a blessing to the future. Peace

PFC is as good as it gets and shines like a beacon through most everything else among everything every media is throwing our way. Feel good vibes, always soulful, pushing a global, positive message.

    It is my belief that those of us who feel so very deeply in our hearts and cry when we see and hear these videos that these beautiful people from all around our world play and sing, is because we know that all it takes is to realize that we are all one and that if we simply love, accept, listen to, understand, show compassion, kindness, not judge, help and support one another, we can overcome the evil that is trying so hard to destroy us all and our planet. Now, more than ever, we must allow love and compassion to shine unconditionally! Our future generations and our planet depend on us all. Thank you, PFC for being a positive example and bringing so many of us together! Blessings, love, peace and a tight, spiritual hug from me to everyone all over this 🌍🌎, especially to our young and elderly brothers and sisters who are currently suffering, broken hearted and in pain in so many ways. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, ONE RACE, HUMAN! ❤🕊️🙏🏼✌️🤗

Thanks also to U2 for creating such a beautiful and iconic song, which today takes on a new meaning in support of those searching for their loved ones. From the International Committee of the Red Cross, we will continue to support the families of missing persons and we call on everyone to keep this issue, which is as relevant today as in the conflicts of the past, on the public agenda of each country.

      In the beginning, they weren't recording individual performances and mixing them later.
      For Stand By Me, the first artist played alone.
      Then another artist in another part of the world would listen to the first solo player, and join in with his/her part after a bit, making it a duet.
      Then as the song progressed, the third, fourth, fifth, etc. would listen and add their part, until in the end, it was literally a choir of hundreds of instruments and vocalists performing together. I don't know if they still do it that way, but that's how they used to do it.

    En mi país, Perú, la Memoria parece apagarse para la gran mayoría. La ceguera y la indiferencia ante el pasado reciente cunden. Cuando en 1987, The Joshua Tree y esta canción de U2 aparecen, el país se desangraba y la capital lo miraba de soslayo. Sólo la lucha de las madres, padres y un puñado de activistas y periodistas logró que la búsqueda de justicia no cese. Persistimos. A pesar del olvido y la impunidad.

It would be wonderful if they did a documentary of the whole process from the very first decision regarding what song to record, the logistics meetings of who they would ask to play and where they would travel. I know that some are playing to recorded tracks and I would love to see how they lay it all down. I'm a 70 year old hippie rock and roll fan but these PFC videos touch my heart and make me bawl like a baby, especially the ones with children singing and dancing with such joy that it just sets me off. I suggest "Love Train" because it is FILLED with happiness. I am poor but I DO contribute to PFC because the world needs MORE like them. Peace be to you.
