Stand By Me (Japan) | Playing For Change Band Live

In the summer of 2011 the Playing For Change Band was invited to perform at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. While we were in town long-time friend of the project, Jimmy Buffett, invited us to a jam session on the roof of Margaritaville that rocked into the wee hours of the morning. The PFC Band kicked off the night with this tribute to the people of Japan who have been affected by this past spring's Tsunami.

It's pretty amazing how music can fly in the face of tragedy to heal and sooth people, what do you think?

2011年の夏、ニューオーリンズのジャズフェスタに参加していたPFCバンドは、長い間PFCのプロジェクトに関わっているJimmy Buffetに誘われ、マルガリータビルというレストランの屋上で、深夜のジャムセッションを行いました。その始まりに、昨春の津波で影響を受けた方々に向けて歌ったトリビュートの様子です。

音楽は遠く離れた人々の心をも癒す事ができる、そんな気持ちになりませんか？

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

GET SOCIAL

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.

This is the epitome of folk who sing with their souls, and believe EVERY word they sing. That precedes their natural amazing talent ❤ Every note, every adlib, they sing with their hearts!

Cada vez que les oigo, que les escucho, mi espíritu, mi alma se eleva gracias a ellos.
Les debo un millón de gracias, desde aquí en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.❤

Thank you for singing your heart out from the other side of the earth. Your voices have reached our hearts, and although it has been more than 10 years, the encouragement you sent us when we were suffering still reaches us. Thank you so, so much. We are so glad that you are really whispering to us.

I am Japanese who experienced that big earthquake back in 2011. I just found this amazing video today. It touched my heart. When you say it's gonna be alright, I believe it is. Thank you to you all. Sending love to you from Japan.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand by
