“The Weight,” features Ringo Starr and The Band's original member Robbie Robertson, along with musicians 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. 

Special thanks to our partner Cambria® for helping to make this possible and to Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr and all the musicians for joining us in celebrating 50 years of this classic song. 

Take a load off and turn it up!!

The Weight | Featuring Robbie Robertson | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

Lyrics: I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed? He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide When I saw old Carmen and the Devil, walking side by side I said, "Hey, Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown" She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

Go down, Miss Moses, ain't nothin' you can say It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgment day Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Annalee company"

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog Said, "I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog" I said, "Wait a minute Chester, you know, I'm a peaceful man" He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can"

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

Catch the cannonball, now to take me down the line My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

I collaborated with @playing4change to make some sweet tees featuring Zan the Zebra. Checkout the Playing For Change concert tomorrow night at the Sydney Entertainment Quarter. Featuring the Playing For Change Band, Ellis Hall (protégée of Ray Charles) and Vasti Jackson, one of American’s most celebrated Blues guitarists, the concert is a benefit for the @playingforchangefoundation, helping kids around the world with inspiration and hope where they previously had none. An Ode to Zan the Zebra Zan the Zebra was a special zebra indeed She was a radio DJ in her land of Zimbabwe While off the air she would whip out her sax for a toot Jamming along to the songs was a real kind of hoot Once when jamming along Zan didn’t realise she was on the air live All the animal kingdom heard her and really loved her jive All the listeners kept calling requesting more saxy Zan grooves And many where amazed how well she played the sax with hooves The demand was so huge that she got her own sax show An hour every day of sax Zan jams saw her popularity grow One day she got a call from sax legend Kenny G And agreed to perform on his new tour called ‘My saxophone and me’ The tour was a success and she received rave reviews The highlight being a five antler rating from critic Tony the Moose The End #iplayforchange #playingforchange #mulgatheartist (at Max Watt's Sydney)

Our team went to Nepal this summer and we took with us your love and urgently needed resources that were given by the generous PFC global community. We were also able to support a day of music and arts for the kids and community that brought some much needed joy and comfort, and replaced Maharjan's guitar that had been damaged in the earthquake. Thank you for making it possible!! #Nepal #relief #upliftment #music #arts #children #singing #guitar #playingforchange #iplayforchange #peacethroughmusic (at Kathmandu, Nepal)
