Thousands Of Guitarists Gather To Play Epic “Have You Ever Seen The Rain”

No matter how old you are or what language you speak, the power of music is something that connects us all. We see this in the way a performance can make someone shed tears — or alternatively, break out into a dance! This fact is no doubt what inspired the event in the video below. In it, countless people can be seen gathering around with a guitar in their hands.

Together, this massive group creates magic. How? By playing Have You Ever Seen the Rain by Creedence Clearwater Revival. This iconic song is all about acknowledging the tough times while leaving room for the good ones, too. This message is one that countless people across the world can especially relate to nowadays.

The video starts with a shot of just a few of the guitarists at the event. Then, as people off-camera start to sing, we get a better picture of just how many people are helping to create the melody. Best of all, there are kids, elderly folks, and everyone in between contributing.

One of the best parts, though, has to be the moment when the singers onstage stay silent. In turn, the guitarists are given a chance to let their voices shine, too.

“I absolutely LOVE these gatherings of musicians in a single place making music to reach the Heavens!” another person shares. “What a feeling of togetherness and happiness it gives.”
