It is safe to say that music acts like a balm for the weary soul. It is an instant mood-lifter, a party-starter, and simply a companion for anyone who is feeling lonely or blue. Also, it transcends boundaries and languages.

A perfect example of the same is a video of an autorickshaw driver who was listening to a popular song by American singer-songwriter Christina Perri.

The now-viral clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user named Neerja Shah. The PR and communications head at Pixxel, Shah captured the auto driver blasting “A Thousand Years” while stuck in traffic. He was also singing along and seemed to enjoy the track to the fullest.

The footage was recorded in Bengaluru. “Proof that everyone loves @christinaperri! What an absolute joy to watch,” Shah wrote in the caption of the post.
