[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tim McGraw has another hit on his hands with his latest single, “Humble and Kind,” and he was a huge fan of the song from the moment he heard it. Tim says, “It’s a masterpiece the way it’s written. Lori McKenna is one of the finest songwriters to ever write a song and it just says something that as a kid you always heard and always aspired to. Certainly, as a parent, it’s a message you want your kids to hear and it’s also something as you go through life you continue to learn and you continue to get something out of and you can look in the mirror and listen to the song and really get something out of it and strive for.”
Tim believes humility and kindness are both important virtues, but he also believes one we are born with and the other we have to constantly work to maintain. He says, “Kindness is something I think we all sort of innately have. We’re all sort of born with kindness. I think that sometimes it can get away from us, but I think that even people who aren’t so kind probably think they are and believe that they are and there’s kindness in there. Humility is something that you have to work for and work toward and strive to keep and you certainly have to be a good steward of. So I think this song is just something that really speaks to all those things.”
Because of its message, “Humble and Kind” has been a very popular song for graduates of all ages at this time of year.
