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 also a great version of this song! ruclips.net/video/DAXrMWQ5IUo/видео.html

Yip...👍
So am I!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful!
About 10 years ago, I was standing on a train platform in NYC. I was on my way home from an awful day at work. I was late on my rent, my car had been towed, my bank account was overdrawn, and I had just used the last ride on my MetroCard. I was hungry and I knew I didn't have any food at home. I wouldn't be paid for another 2 days. As I stood on this train platform, a homeless man with a guitar sang this song, tears on his face. I gave him the last $3 in my wallet and stood there on that platform and cried with him. This song will always remind me of that moment.
Thank you for sharing🎉
This song is not just about West Virginia, its for anyone in the world whos missing their home!!!
True 😢
Exactamente! Estuve lejos de casa y es un sentimiento difícil de ocultar cuando se extraña al hogar. Regresé y estoy feliz por ello. Mi saludo especial para aquellos que por una u otra razón no han podido volver.
I think John Denver would be honored!
Toots, too...
Absolutely! 👏
75 years old and ALL these people singin’ this iconic song TOGETHER brings me to tears because the more different we all are…. the more we are the same.. never ever forget….
MUSIC RULES THE WORLD
Your lips to th gods ears, thanks🤠🍀
Peace thru music🎉
WHAT A TALENTED WORLD OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE HAVE
Nice comment 👍
When we behave ourselves.
Amen. Glory be to God to witness it too. 😉
I love this comment!
Amen to that
It’s funny that people in Jamaica, Israel, and wherever else are singing about the tight, heavily wooded, winding roads between mountains and hills in West Virginia when they are in paradises themselves. All are beautiful and the production people and musicians fabulous.
Could they not sing about their own countries and instruments shedding light on the beautiful ways of their land languages and ways? I disagree. Mamma Africa Jah Herb from Tucson Arizona Sonoran 🏜️ desert 🍄🌵🇯🇲🇺🇸🇸🇪 Afro Viking.explore world musica
@@stephanlarsen8169, I wonder if I didn’t write well enough. I wanted to say they have such wonderful music in their own countries which partly makes up those paradises. They are performing music from another country and I am VERY grateful. I love the music. I would also love their music, I’m sure.
I keep thinking that the producers chose the US’s most uplifting music mostly because that means more donations.
I lived in the Caribbean and now WV, both are absolutely gorgeous and almost heaven in such different but similar ways it's hard to describe. Grenada and WV have the forests, mountains, and love for the simple life in common.
It's nice to appreciate the things that unite us.
I couldn’t have said it any better!
Music brings us together
John Denver is surely smiling down from wherever he is.
Yes he is . ! .
Uh...that would be Heaven...it's in the song.
And surely he is smiling! Peace brother!
I'm smiling from wherever i is, at a crazy hard time on the planet. People, get together!
He would clapping along for sure.
John is probably flying, like he always loved to do. Just farther & faster than he could do here.
I'll bet the music is good there, you think?
I'm from West Virginia and I've never heard this song sung better.
I am in tears FAM!!!!! I am a West by God Virginian and I love you all! This is how we conquer the BS!
This shows we are all West Virginians. We are all Jamaicans, Italians, Irish...
I do believe music can connect all the people around the world... love this song
ULUNG ARMANDA Sitepu these folks should group together and form a epic band
...they did :) the band of mankind
Hell yeah man! Great song
❤❤❤
Can heal most wounds as well.
Anders Osborn your VOICE...BEAUTIFULLY explosive!!! Pays an AMAZING tribute to John Denver!!! THANK YOU!!! LOVE YOUR VOICE!!!
May the upcoming years be kind to all.
What a "GREAT" thing to say, and I couldn't agree more, if we ALL listened to Playing for Change, and came together like them, the world would be nice again . ! .
Amen

It was ALL great but that guy from New Orleans was the BOMB!!!!!
ssteacup
dude look him up. he hast some of his own stuff on YT its awesome. ive had him on my ipod for years.
exactly he is so good
!!!
+ssteacup, He is a great singer. I think the first guy used to sing with an African Choir with Paul Simon. I like this version of John Denver's hit song.
Very nice
John would have loved this. 🎶🎼🎵🥁👍
I'm from West Virginia. Love this version of our song. Thank you for singing it so beautifully.
This is also an awesome studio version of this song! ruclips.net/video/DAXrMWQ5IUo/видео.html
Whoever edited these videos deserves as much credit as the singers.
TRUE
Dad, Thanks for teaching me to fish. Fond memories with that ole jukebox. "Thank God, I'm a country boy". John Denver Thank you for the Love.
My father kept playing this song he passed away this year, this is the best version of the song . . . Thanks
Anders Osborne is so good! As soon as he started singing I Immediately had to look him up.
same
He's a swed if i'm not mistaken
Yup
He is amazing live!!!!!
i can imagine John Denver smiling about this. "thank each and everyone of you for what you do."
Guy from New Orleans killed it💥
Brilliant
He sure did the other ones he's to STHU she sucked
y
Anders is actually from Sweden. He visited NOLA, fell in love with the city and its music scene, and stayed!
Bloke at the start ruined it getting words wrong!
Music took me to those places I could never saw, soothed the pain I grew up with, painted a smile on my face, kept me company trough a life a loneliness.
Google describes 'Playing for Change" as a shared vision between co-founders, Mark Johnson, Raan Williams and Whitney Kroenke. The world needs to know that these great, thoughtful, heart-in-the-right place guys have done a beautiful thing for the world and the musicians. May love always make itself felt in their lives. Well done!!!
Also the only good thing bill gates ever funded!
music has no borders its a language that everyone speaks
so amazing how music, cuts across all areas of the world and touches hearts in much the same way! Music transends all the nonsense, and tunes our hearts into greatness! and Oneness, one big Family.
Brian Linville So true
Music was not created by the men, that's why it is sooo perfect.
It is almost the only way we can relate to any other man on the planet.
absolut! Brian, we are one big Family , wir haben alle das gleiche Herz
I love this. I'm a born and raised full blooded West Virginian and this does bring tears to my eyes seeing this performed by so many different people from all over the world. I hope that some day each of the performers have the opportunity to come and visit us here in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia and to see why we love our state so well.
I am a neighbor in Virginia and retired from the WV Air National Guard and spent time doing flood damage repair and snow removal. This song has some meaning to me
This is so amazing, John Denver would be so proud. All Music should be recorded like this. All of these artists contributions are fantastic. Thank you for this.
I love this song! This is also an amazing studio version of this song! ruclips.net/video/DAXrMWQ5IUo/видео.html
John Denver is looking down from Heaven and singing with them!
"Country Roads"
SUCH a unique blend of cultures coming together here to make beautiful music.. Playing For Change.. making a difference, through music: the universal language. "Country Roads" .. taking us to wherever we call home on Planet Earth..
"If music be the food of Love, play on."
William Shakespeare..
"Playing For Change" certainly reflects that!
RUclips, playing its part.
One Love!!
Dec. 2016....
Angee Corea, Well said, Angee Angel.
Whos d guitar man? Roberto luti?
Steel guitar player, Roberto Luti is melodically stunning, he plays tastefully, perhaps even perfectly, he helps put a melodic floor on all these works with Playing for Change. Inspiring music here.
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads,
Have a wonderful life everyone!!
like original singer
BRING THE WORLD TOGETHER WITH MUSIC! We all PRAY for PEACE and GOD INTENDED!
Focusing on what unites us as the human race, not divides us, Is the recipe for our salvation!
I love the the no snarky comments and the great video.
Yer' right ( @#&% %#**. Just figured out your name, gasp! )
Love em' all is the recipe and God's will. We are the world!
Imagine living as one, a human race with no selfish agenda!
Merci , pour toutes c'est superbe chanson !!!!! Superbe!!!!!
I am sending a big hug to all of you. Lovely music.💚💙💜💛👍👍👍👍
This is what world peace is all about... music!!!
When country and world music come together, it’s a beautiful thing! This song makes me think of my dad who used to practice medicine in West Virginia.
Sono in ospedale e questa musica mi sta tenendo grande compagnia. Grazie di aver avuto questa geniale intuizione.
Hope you feel better now.
Timeless classic, so well done and great respect to all of the artists around the world to make this happen.
John would of loved this. Great job!
John Denver, we miss you. Kudos to all who shared in this inspirational bit of memory and music. Great way to begin a day here in Raymond Wa. USA.
John Denver made us all feel that West Virginia is our home, our mountain momma.
wherever John Denver is, this makes him REALLY happy! He would SO love Song around the World, not to mention that his baby would be included in this lovely project. This embodies everything he was singing about!
Jim Parfitt If he were still with us today, I bet John would join right in with his guitar, and start singing along with everybody!
Thank you all. Music keeps me believing in a better world.
James Hardiman me too mate. I believe that who ever likes the songs from playing for change just can’t be a bad human being.
I wish it was like that .....
I've only just found this site. My goodness, its heartwarming to have the music spliced with all contributors - I find myself singing along. What great musicians all are. I'm overjoyed to find you all. You are all great in your own right - thanks for participating, and making an excellent experience for a lot of people.
This project has been one of the greatest additions to modern music in so long.
Me too! I just can't stop listening to it on a loop as I'm writing for hours! Great stuff! Great bunch....loved them! ❤️🌍🌹
The gentleman from New Orleans killed it.
More from him here ruclips.net/video/-48GCTEZP3w/видео.html
Oh my heart. John would be proud. ❤️
Ima cry... this project might be one of the coolest things ever invented....
Gotta love songs like this that nobody looks or sounds wrong singing.
A great tribute to John Denver.
He woudl be happy to watch this video
This one is wonderful. Beautiful artists.
John Denver would be proud!!
Still feel the goosebumps.. sometimes just want want to leave everything & just want to go anywhere.
Country road ..take me home.. my soul
Dont go anywhere man go home thats what its about finding the simple small things and just being happy i hope for you to find that peace
Thank you to all the musicians who played John Denver’s song. It was so inspiring.
You have to hear this amazing studio version of this song! ruclips.net/video/DAXrMWQ5IUo/видео.html
Songs that yearn for home are truly universal. A fitting song for all the refugees in the world these days.
They all killed it...its about the music and the good vibe...thumbs up for them all!
John Denver was before my time, but this is one of those songs that just transcends time and becomes timeless. I see covers of it from people in other countries and even some make the lyrics about their own homes, which is exactly what John Denver wanted the song to be about.
It isn't about the place, it's about the idea.
John Denver would be proud.
Omg love this song so much. I love to sing this when im still 12 years old 😉😉 my dad love to play this song. Saying hi from indonesia in the middle of the world.😍😍😍
Facebook
Beautiful! Amazing percussion! Beautiful music! Gorgeous voices! Music is the universal language.
This is also an amazing version! ruclips.net/video/DAXrMWQ5IUo/видео.html
I love the way that on every Playing For Change video it is all about music bringing us all together. Not politics or religion or bitter old men separating us. Let us all beat our swords into plowshares and our spears into pruning hooks.
I agree, with love from South Africa.
@@Honeybee897 Hugs, I wish there were more like you.
YES, THE GUY FROM NEW ORLEANS KEPT IT REAL...... TOTALLY SUPERB!!!!!!! So great for West Virginia... my Home State... to be sung all over the World!!! LOVE IT!! And you'd love it even MORE if you got to see it for yourself!! BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, HILLSIDES, MOUNTAINS, WATERFALLS, COAL-MINES... and PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
production is so tight on every song. salute to the engineers / producers along with everyone else involved with Playing For Change. Quality Music at its best , bringing people together . i love it . THIS IS WHY MUSIC ITSELF WAS INVENTED! -Travetti
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
All my memories, gather round her
Modest lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Thank you John... Thank you all!
Playing For Change gives me hope for this old world!
Everyone, regardless of differences, has a touch of the divine. Wish the daily news showed this aspect of humanity. God bless you all.
Wow!!! Mr. Osborne, take a bow!!!! You killed it!!!! 👍👍👌👌👌

What a wonderful group of folks who do this.
I find it amazing that folks from all over the world can capture this vibe. I live just south of the WV/VA border. My mother's family are from Mingo Co. WV. Wow!
Chris Giles I'm in Mingo! Not the greatest place but the people there are exceptionally kind.
How cool is our world that we live in to be able to gather people from all corners and create beautiful music, just imagine what else we could achieve! Just saying folks
Love it. Can't get enough it's so beautiful in every aspect. Brings me to tears.
I truly and honestly think John Denver would be happy with this
Looks like John Denver is still alive with this legendary song and I would say it's like a textbook for those who are learning Country Music.
collective consciousness will always effect change for the better for all... for ever... peace with music...
Every time I watch one of these vids I tear up I feel I don’t possess the vocabulary to truly explain how much playing for a change means to me so I’ll simply say
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AND I LOVE ME AND ALL OF YOU
Me too John
You're not alone. I pretty much start gently weeping at the start of all these videos.
Appalachian Proud!! Connects us all!! May God shed his mercy and make us live better with each other! Amen
country roads Take me Home, Love and respect from Malaysia
John Denver would have LOVED LOVED LOVED this!!!!! Oh, my goodness! My eyes are weeping such tears of joy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This is one of those songs you grew up with even if you weren't a country music fan and it hits your heart just as hard as if you were.
misty taste of moonshine....a teardrop in my eye. Gets me everytime
Thank you to John Denver for the beautiful music and talent.
An Amazing version of this song from beautiful talented artists from around the world. Music is the international language of peace and love. Thank you to all of you beautiful people and God bless you all 🙏🙏❤️
It nice to see that 475 don't have much talent. This is the best music ive ever seen keeping legends going from all over the world i could spent all weekends in the country listening to the talented musicians
Anders Osborn Voice Was Excellent. Love It
Peace From Indonesia :)
And the other was excellent too
Anders from Sweden :)
This song makes me remember my dear old Dad showing me where he grew up in a log cabin deep in the Appalachian Mountains near Capon Bridge, WV. Such beautiful country there. Yes, almost Heaven, West Virginia. ❤️
A tip of the hat to the technicians who put this together so seamlessly.
Ruth Anne stole the show. What a gorgeous flower.Voice of an angel and breathtaking beauty. Call me, Ruth Anne. Seriously!
Country roads been globalized with a definitely a very different and unique taste to it! Keep it coming people....!!
It's amazing what we as humans are capable of when we work together for enjoyment, not war not violence.....
I love this song since i was a kid...from philippines with love...well done guys...we love you all😚😚
Excellent! Beautiful! Rest In Peace John, thank you for your song(s).
It really baffles me in noticing anyone giving a "thumbs down" towards a group international performance that only brings happiness and enjoy.
Just like viruses, we'll always suffer trolls. Best to just ignore 'em.
