Sometimes in life you come across someone in a random moment and it turns into something really beautiful and completely unexpected.
This video shared on YouTube by Lithuanian-born multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Dovydas, who has over 1.44 million subscribers, showcases a moment just like that.
In the first few moments of the video, you’re able to see Dovydas chatting up a seemingly shy woman in the small crowd that’s gathered around him in a quaint little musical setup in what appears to be the corner of an outdoor promenade.
Dovydas has just finished playing a set and the two are chit-chatting back and forth when you hear him tell her that he’s seen her around before and knows that she’s also a singer. In an interesting turn of events, he asks her if she would like to join him in a song.
“What’s a good song that has like three or four chords that I can … put on a loop?” Dovydas asks. After thinking for a few seconds, she suggests the song “Stand by Me,” which became a hit in the 1960s by R&B singer Ben E. King.
In the next few moments, it’s really quite cool to see Dovydas do his thing on his keyboard and other musical gear as he prepares some of the background music for a modern rendition of “Stand by Me.”
When the song actually starts, you’re almost in shock as you’re met with this tiny woman who possesses a powerful and effortless singing voice. And what Dovydas is able to do with the music for this song is quite remarkable as well.
Join them in singing this oh-so-catchy song when you watch the video in full.
