Cyberspace is the place you go when you are on the phone. Acoustic space is a place you go when you listen to music. Playing For Change follows a song around the world, recording musicians from across the globe performing. The producers stitch those performances together for the video. We do however have the technology to record and broadcast all of these performances simultaneously. Everyone listening would enter the same acoustic space. No matter where we are physically located we would inhabit the same acoustic space. Marshall McLuhan said electronic media would give rise to acoustic space. Are we getting closer? Is there an anthem for the global village been written right now?

We're excited to share our newest Song Around The World, "The Weight," featuring musicians performing together across 5 continents. Great songs can travel everywhere bridging what divides us and inspiring us to see how easily we all get along when the music plays.

"Higher Ground" is a song that speaks of the perseverance it takes to reach the higher consciousness.

That was the spark to assemble one of our biggest and deepest Songs Around The World.
