New York is the kind of place where anything can happen at any moment, and although that comes with plenty of bad, this video shows that there are also many instances of spontaneous goodness going down, even on public transit.
These strangers on a train, who both happen to have their instruments with them, break out in a soulful song, much to the delight of their fellow riders.
Whether this chance meeting was truly by chance or not ceases to be an issue once you watch them play, and feel that energy that seems to be in the air that New Yorkers breathe.

I am friends with Jessica (the girl in the video) and I had previously only seen this on her Facebook page. After a quick search it looks like this video is getting a lot of play on the web. So that's awesome!
I can tell you that this is indeed a chance encounter, not something contrived.
