However you got to this post, I think it is safe to say that we all share an understanding: the power of music can sometimes be breathtaking. Here’s just another example.
A choir decided to raise awareness of Music Support — a UK based charity that reaches out to musicians who have addiction, emotional, or mental health issues. Their device? This beautiful cover of the Foo Fighters song, “Come Alive.” I give you the Sweet Charity Choir:
The boyfriend of the choir leader/arranger (Reddit user Fairbet23) was hoping Dave Grohl can see the how much a song he and the group wrote meant to the cause. He got his wish:
Thank you Sweet Charity Choir @Musicsupport_uk for such a beautiful rendition of “Come Alive”…and for making this song of hope even more hopeful. Perfect way to ring in the new year… Davehttps://t.co/z4N94xxh1F

When you’re feeling off — belting out, strumming, or otherwise enjoying music can really be a mood changer. But for those in depressed and/or in crisis, please. Don’t fight alone. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is always there to help — 1-800-273-8255 (TALK). — [eric]
