Stand by me | The Fact of My Ignorance

Apr 28 2009

This Video = Heartwarming

Well I’m going to keep straying away from politics for a while. Don’t worry, I’ll get back to the serious stuff soon but I just couldn’t pass up posting this video. The filmmakers (Concord Music Group) recorded one street musician’s interpretation of the Ben E. King classic “Stand by Me” and then took that recording to other countries, allowing street musicians from around the world to record their own accompaniments. Then they mixed it all together. The result is both musically pleasing (its a really creative arrangement) and surprisingly touching. Street musicians from New Orleans to the Congo riffing together on a song whose message they understand all too well. Anyway, hope you enjoy it! Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments.

Quotes

"We do not need to judge nearly so much as we think we do. This is the age of snap judgments. … [We need] the courage to say, ‘I don’t know. I am waiting further evidence. I must hear both sides of the question.’ It is this suspended judgment that is the supreme form of charity. Someone has said that you cannot slice cheese so fine that it doesn’t have two sides."
-Dallin H. Oaks

"It is better to debate a question without settling it, than to settle a question without debating it...The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress."
-Joseph Joubert

"The more you know, the more you realise how much you don’t know — the less you know, the more you think you know."
-David Freeman

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
