United | Playing For Change | Song Around the World

In 2011, Playing For Change joined forces with the United Nations Population Fund and the Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund for UNFPA’s 7 Billion Actions campaign. By the end of that year, the world population reached 7 billion, and this global campaign strove to bring awareness to the opportunities and challenges that the population growth would present. 7 billion people means 7 billion hearts, and music has always been the best way to speak to the hearts of the people. We traveled across the globe, put headphones on musicians, added them to the track, and created “United,” which serves as a tangible example of something positive we can all do together as a human race.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Often I consider leaving this world. Things have been so difficult, so tense with so much disillusionment. Then I discover something so beautiful it makes me cry, dance, and put those thoughts on a shelf, hoping they get dusty and dry and turn to dust before I think them again.
Thank you so much, world! I love your music! ❤

Unity. It starts with YOU. If not you, then who?

We must realize, deep in our hearts & souls, that we are all one human family. All men are your brothers. All women are your sisters. No exceptions. Let love rule and guide us. A better world is possible!

Like being kissed by the warm sun, peaking over the horizon, on a cold frosty morning. Feeling the love, peace, and unity! Love for all my fellow humans!

(tears) Humans are just so incredibly amazing, so compassionate and full of love, regardless of where they are from, their hearts all beat with the same rythme of life... Never let them tell you we can't or won't have peace... there are no limits to what the human heart can accomplish when it is united in it's purpose... Love and Peace from Canada...
