Plini – Every Piece Matters (Playthrough)

fundraising for this has now closed, we raised over $7500!

---

"In 2014, I released a song called "Ko Ki" in order to fundraise for a volunteering trip to Cambodia led by the wonderful non-profit organisation Raw Impact. At the beginning of 2015, I went to Cambodia, to help construct a community centre for the people of Ko Ki Village. This was an unforgettable experience – everything from the joy of playing games with some of the happiest kids I've ever seen, to the overwhelming realisation that I was able to use my love of music to benefit the lives of a community that barely even has access to clean water or electricity. Recently, I read that Raw Impact was embarking on its most ambitious project yet. After seeing the work that Raw Impact has done already, and being a part of one of their teams, there is no doubt in my mind that they can make this happen:

“This is the biggest thing we’ve ever done. 100 of the poorest families urgently need our help. The Cambodian Government have announced a bridge to join Phnom Penh with Gunty’s Island. This will force the relocation of 100 families currently living in slums. Every Piece Matters is about providing land for families so we can bring safe housing, primary education for their kids, rescue from debt slavery and provide a steady job for Mum and Dad. For every $5,000AUD pledged, one family can live on their own land.”

On that note, 100% of the proceeds generated by this song, from now until the end of June (when the fundraising campaign ends) will go directly to Raw Impact!"

Still listening to it in 2023, what an immortal homage to music, what a creative genius you are, Plini. I watched you live in Bangalore, back in 2019 - the only live performance I have watched in my life - some of the best moments of my life. Thank you, for doing what you do. May your music live on, thrive, and may it reach more and more people. Thank you.

I discovered Plini music many years ago.He had no more then 30 views and i remember thinking;this music needs to be heard all over the world...and now..now i am so happy!:)

[UnmaskArt]

This is by far one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in my life. It seriously takes me to another world.

[stevesibiski]

Get chills from the chorus Everytime no matter how many times I've heard this song. Song is so damn good.

[gayledurham]

Plini was my late son's favorite band. I wish I had indulged myself along with him when he played this. He was a fantastic bass player. He took his own life 3 yrs ago. Everything i hear this, I think of him.

[evansullivan]

One very simple thing that sets Plini apart from every other prog instrumentalist is that he's not afraid to just stay in one key for a while. Thank you Plini for not flexing all of the different chords you know just for the sake of appearing "educated".

[stevenalbertwood]

It feels like the title is a description of the song. After each break, another piece, and every piece matters. Love this song.

[hotdogontology]

Dude. Wasn't expecting the "chorus". Got chills. Awesome piece.

[frankriley]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned all the people singing along, all the different kinds of people that enjoy this music.best part of the video to me

[imnoexpert]

when people say that technical/prog music has no feeling or emotion just link em to plini

[MartinBergnerGuitar]

4 years later and still in love with the snare sound!

[yassinesouabni]

Somehow this song reminds me of the mood of "When you grow up, your heart dies"
Wonderful peace of art !

[GeekOfAudio]

I've been listening to this song on repeat for like 7 years now...

[andreaandrea]

What a wonderful person. Taking his music and involving his fans in the song, while simultaneously raising money to help out those less fortunate. Plini, you are an amazing person.

[ryanjd]

I can't sing very well. So I learned how to play along with the vocal melody line on my bass. It's a great feeling to feel like I'm a piece of this and in this one small way, that I'm a piece that matters.
Thank you for writing such uplifting and impossibly awesome songs Plini.

[swimmingbirds]

the chanting at the end breaks my heart AND I LOVE IT

[AronatorJusto]

I try... But I always cry with this song. Dammit Plini, you are a deity.

[ivan_paulmusic]

I'm complete knocked senseless with this composition.... This just blew my mind away!!! I think I've found my favorite song for the rest of my life....

[watimeyur]

Covid 19. You cannot take the joy away, we still got this song 🤧✊

[kpumaorn]

This song makes me sad/and happy, but a good way. Hard to describe - so much emotion in this song - the “ahhhh AHHHH’s” at the end hit. ❤
