Every now and then, there’s something that that could put a smile on your face whenever you think about it. Earlier today, my friend passed a video onto me of people covering the song, “Stand by Me.”
At first, it just looked like a possible homeless guy singing a strange rendition of the song on a California street with an empty guitar case for tips. When a blind man from New Orleans named Grandpa Elliot was edited in with his version, things started to get more interesting.
By the time the video was over, “Stand by Me” was performed by people in Italy, Spain, Amsterdam, an Indian tribe in New Mexico, and an African musical group in South Africa, just to name a few.
In five minutes time, thee message of support through struggle was being sung and performed across the world. The video speaks volumes, and it is important to listen to the meaning behind the lyrics.
