World Kindness Day 2023: Songs to Celebrate!

Share:

World Kindness Day, celebrated every November 13, serves as a yearly reminder of how important compassion, empathy, and goodwill are in our lives. In a world where conflicts and differences often dominate headlines, this day shines as a symbol of hope and positivity. Let’s remember that, whether the acts are small or large, we’re encouraged to practice kindness –whether it’s smiling at a stranger, checking in on someone’s feelings, or making a charitable donation. When these acts of kindness multiply worldwide, they can create a wave of positivity with the potential to transform societies and nurture a culture of compassion. 

Kindness & Music

Kindness, much like music, is a universal language that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. It’s a simple yet powerful force capable of bringing people together, healing broken relationships, and promoting a more harmonious global community. On this World Kindness Day, we’ve chosen a variety of songs, from pop to country, for a special reason. These songs do more than just entertain; they emphasize and remind us of the importance of kindness and its profound impact on our lives. 

«Treat People With Kindess» – Harry Styles

«An Act of Kindness» – Bastille

     An act of kindness
Is what you showed to me
It caught me by surprise
In this town of glass and ice

Kindness,
So many people passed me by
But you warmed me to my core
And you left me wanting more”

«Kill Em With Kindness» – Selena Gomez

     The world can be a nasty place
You know it, I know it, yeah
See, we don’t have to fall from grace
Put down the weapons you fight with
And kill ‘em with kindness”

«Be Kind» – Zak Abel

     In a world where you can be anything
I’ll be kind to you
Could you be kind to me?
Kind to me
It’s all I’m asking”

«Humble And Kind» – Tim McGraw

    Always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you’re dreamin’ come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride but
Always stay humble and kind

Don’t expect a free ride from no one
Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why
Bitterness keeps you from flying
Always stay humble and kind
Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love”

«Be Kind» – Halsey, Marshmello

    You can be kind to the one that you love”

Friendly Reminder: Don’t Forget to Be Kind to Yourslef

«Mientras Me Curo Del Cora» – Karol G

Sometimes we forget to be nice to ourselves and accept that it’s okay not to feel good all the time. With the song «Mientras Me Curo Del Cora (While I Heal My Heart)» by Karol G, it reminds us that even during tough times, there are things to appreciate, and step by step, we can get better. The song is originally in Spanish, but we’ve translated it a bit. 

    Give me time
I’m not at my best moment
But I’m getting better little by little, yes
Today I’m down, but I know tomorrow will be prettier
[…]

And while I heal my heart
Today, I’m heading to the sea to make the most of the sun
It’s okay not to feel okay, it’s normal, it’s not a crime
I’m alive, I don’t need anything else

And while I heal my heart
Today, I’m heading to the sea to make the most of the sun
It’s okay not to feel okay, it’s normal, it’s not a crime
And tomorrow will be prettier
Cheers, because I have my parents well
And my little sisters too
Today, I’m not at my best, but it will pass soon”

«Love Myself» – Hailee Steinfeld

Also, let’s love ourselves and be kind to us and out bodies.

     I’m gonna put my body first
And love me so hard ‘til it hurts
I know how to scream out the words
Scream the words

Gonna love myself, no, I don’t need anybody else”

So, let’s join together in celebrating this day making the world a better place, one compassionate act at a time.
