  • To celebrate the 2015 Playing For Change Day, the Maine Academy of Modern Music (MAMM) partnered with a number of Maine filmmakers, musicians, and students to make our own video in the style of the Playing For Change "Songs Around The World" series. This year we chose to feature the song "Understand" by Maine's own Frank Hopkins.
    In conjunction with the release of this video MAMM hosted the grand opening of its new location at 125 Presumpscot St in Portland, Maine. The Academy also held a video premiere at the Portland House of Music & Events which featured live performances by many of the musicians and students who appeared in the video, all to raise awareness about the value of music education in the lives of young people around the globe.
    We would like to thank Sam and Will Caswell of Herman Mantis, Inc (associate producers, editors), Jonathan Wyman of The Halo (mixing engineer), Adam Ayan of Gateway Mastering (mastering engineer), all of the participating musicians and filmmakers, our supporters Asylum, Machias Savings Bank, Maine Arts Commission, Maine Center for Creativity, and everyone else who made this video project possible.

    We attended the release party event on Friday night. The talent on display was wonderful...the song sentiment is perfect and timely. So happy to have been able to participate and to celebrate the hard work of the musicians, organizers and the video production producers, especially Sam and Will Caswell of Herman Mantis Inc. Thanks all!

      in every woman is a good woman in every man is a good man
      we are just playing out our own roles we all just doin' the best we can
      so come on understand understand have some understanding
      understand the madman inside you and all you meet
      understand the angels walkin' with you on the street
      understand the victims who just want to move on
      understand the oppressors helpin' us to sing our songs
      understand the bored and the crumbling understand the used
      understand the weak within understand the abused
      understand within you understand the news
      understand your strength understand the truth

    This one is really needed in the hender debate. I think there are WAY too many stereotypes, so we're stuck in a constant argument with accusations flying back and forth. NO SIDE IS COMPLETELY INNOCENT!

    I missed something along the way. I always thought that the song was recorded simultaneously in multiple locations. That apparently did not happen here because there appear to be multiple seasons. Help me, someone. Btw, the song is lovely, and there are some very impressive voices and captivating visuals.

      Hi Mike! While singing/playing along to a recording of the same basic version of the song, each musician recorded their performance live on location over the course of nearly two years. Our audio engineers then took each musician's track and mixed the song in the studio.
