The best video I've ever seen makes you smile

If this video does not make you smile for the rest of the day, then you are a bastard (translated from the word bastard, do not take it to heart, this is not an insult) with a cold heart. Watch it from beginning to end and you will not regret it.


This single Stand By Me was recorded by unknown street musicians from around the world with the help of a virtual studio. It all started with the base track vocals and guitars recorded on Santa Monica, California, by street musician Roger Ridley . The base track was then sent to New Orleans, Louisiana, where blind grandfather Elliot (singer from the French quarter) had already added his vocals and guitar, listening to Ridley’s recorded track through headphones. In the same city, the sounds of the Chaz washboard were added.

After that, this track was transported through many countries in Europe, Africa and South America. Everywhere added multiple samples of instruments and vocals, which were collected in the final version, which you see now. Everything was done using ordinary laptops and microphones.
