Take Four Minutes and Twenty-Nine Seconds and Listen – #Humility and #Kindness
I was surfing around Youtube and came across this video.
I love this song ever since the first time I heard it four years ago. It touches me on so many levels and goes back to grass roots, respect and empathy. And if the song isn’t enough, there couldn’t be a more perfect video to paint the words.
It’s also been the ringtone on my cell phone since the first time I heard it.
Take four minutes and twenty-nine seconds to enjoy listening (and looking at) to Tim McGraw and his reminder song about humility and kindness. The music and lyrics are beautiful and the video is reaffirming – extra touching at this seasonal time of the year. And a little more powerful because it reminds we are all one globally.

Tim McGraw–what a voice, and this is a wonderful song. They played it at a Trump rally I watched. Love it.
dgkaye
I’d be willing to bet he, once again, had NO copyright permission to use this song about KINDNESS at a hate rally. A bit of an oxymoron.
Pete Springer
My wife is the country music fan in the family, so I had never heard this song before. What a beautiful message—one I firmly believe in.
dgkaye
Thanks Pete. It is truly a beautiful song and a moving video. One doesn’t have to be a country/western fan to appreciate 🙂

Debby, I LOVE this song and video – a powerful country ballad accompanied by the most moving images – a wonderful end of my day and one that will stay with me. I can see myself adding this and other Tim McGraw songs to my Spotify. Many thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Annika. It feels to me this song moved you the way it still does me. Everytime my phone rings, it’s the ringtone. Makes me smile and shed a tear each time I watch it. Hugs and enjoy! 🙂 xx

Diana Peach
I hardly ever listen to country music, but I loved this song the first time I heard it. It’s so touching in both words and images. A great share, Debby.
dgkaye
So true Diana. A moving song without video, intensified by this video. <3
Chuck Jackson
Beautiful and thank you for sharing.
It still amazes me we need to remind people to love each other. Why doesn’t it come natural like the innocence of children before we teach them to hate?
dgkaye
You are so right Chuck. Life in the fast lanes and greed no doubt, has changed the world – and not for the better. 🙁
John Maberry
Shows how much I know–surprised by all the images on a CW ballad! Not a fan of the current crop of Country. But it does have great lyrics and a wonderful message. You may recall Jill from WFW. At one of the parks in Minneapolis in the summer of 1970–yes, 50 years ago, a Country Western band was playing. I made some unkind remark and she said, “can’t we just enjoy the music–the time together?” So, sorta caught me up short here in that recollection. 🙂
dgkaye
Amazing how a song can conjure up a memory. 🙂
Robbie Cheadle
Thanks for sharing this lovely song, Debbie.

Most welcome Robbie. <3

Thanks, Debby. I hadn’t heard this song before and I love it. The video is amazing as well. Thanks for the introduction. It’s made my day, and it has become a new favourite of mine. ♥

Wonderful Olga, I’m happy to introduce you to this song. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of my favs. Hugs <3
Stevie Turner
A lovely song. I love his songs. There was one I can’t quite remember the title but he sang it with Reece Witherspoon I think. It was a song from a film and I can’t find it on Google. If anybody knows it then I’ll be able to download it! x
dgkaye
I love Tim McGraw! I do believe you’re thinking about another great song from him used in the movie with Reese, Four Christmases – Live Like You Were Dying 🙂 xx https://youtu.be/_9TShlMkQnc
Stevie Turner
No, I’ve just found it but thanks for looking. It wasn’t Reece, it was with Gwyneth Paltrow and the song is called ‘Me and Tennessee.’ I like that one! x
dgkaye
Ohhhhhhhh okay, well now we have 3 winners! 🙂 xx
