Possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

First, just go watch, before I spoil it by overanalyzing it.

This just about breaks my heart it’s so beautiful. All these people scattered around the world, alone in their living rooms with their webcams or cellphone cameras, unwittingly taking part in a concert that was just waiting for someone to come along and put the pieces together in the right order.

It makes the whole world feel more real. It’s all music, just waiting for the pieces to be put together in the right order.
