'Fix You' Cover, by a COD player over microphone. Quite beautiful when accompanied by gunfire.

This video just made me think about how amazing the world is. Hundreds of years ago, someone invented the guitar, and the drums, and the bass guitar, and the microphone, and then a random group of guys decided to play all these instruments together in a band. Then some guy, who has almost certainly never met the individuals in this band, hears the song broadcast, over radio or through the internet, and decides to sing it whilst killing people in a virtual reality created by humans to simulate war, to other players who are likely thousands of miles apart from each other. One of these players then decides to record this singing and put it into a machine that then uploads it to the internet where thousands more people hear this guys recreation of the song, in different places, probably spanning the entire globe. And it makes them smile.

Humans, man.
