"We are the World"....take 2

Like everyone else, I loved the original "We are the World" collaboration in 1985 and was so excited when I heard that they were going to remake the song! I think some of the artists they chose are a little random, but I was definitely not disappointed with the outcome. With all the new developments in my life, the song itself and the purpose for recording it have taken on a whole new meaning for me. Coincidentally, the Hope for Haiti benefit concert aired Friday, 1/22 - the exact night I decided I would probably move to Ethiopia. I had just made the decision, turned on the tv for a brief distraction, and this video had just started playing. I immediately fell back into tears, to say the least!
