listening and video: Stand by Me

Have you ever thought of the power of music all over the world? Of course, music can affect our mood , influence ourselves on particular occasions or even try to change the world. This latter motivation is what inspired Mark Johnson to unite different artists around the world to sing the same song ( ´Stand by me´)at the same time . Although at the beginning, they didn´t realize the impact it was going to have, it has become a hit... In fact, ´Stand by me´has been viewed for millions of peole on the Internet, and ... obviously you couldn´t be less..have a look at it, and enjoy...it´s amazing!!!
