By the Sea | Mel Semé | Playing For Change | Live Outside

We're excited to share this video of Mel Semé performing his original song, "By the Sea," live outside at the Plaça del Rei in Barcelona. This song was the first song written by David Block and Mel Semé, aka SEMES, the very first day they met in Barcelona in 2017 and was released as their first single.

Let this beautiful melody wash away your worries and leave them by the sea.

Audio-Technica—Audio pioneer in high-performance sound design

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 supporting music programs for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

What am I going to say now that everyone has said it, except that that was just brilliant

You were born with some kind of crazy musical talent, Sir. The effortlessness of your voice and guitar playing is ethereal and commands the body to move snd sway as a sea breeze or lazy beach waves lapping at the sandy shore….eyes closed, nothing else exists. I live for many reasons but I must say, the coursing blood of my veins bleeds music. This is wonderful oxygen. Breath. Listen. Play. Sing. Dance. Love

Holy shit. I meant to have this piece as background while I did something else, but... I can't take my eyes and attention away. Utterly captivated, from the rhythm to the way you use your voice to accompany and enhance it. It doesn't hurt that the visuals are amazing too!
Incredible piece.
