about

“Human Kindness”, written by lead-vocalist Ronan MacManus...

“I wrote “Human Kindness” some time ago from personal experiences, but the current global situation has elevated how the song resonates with me, adding a new dimension of relevance. We had recorded this with the full band for our upcoming album and thought now would be the right time to send it out into the world. As my wife is a nurse, I think we have all seen how the human experience is at its best when we work together, thus inspiring the message of the song.”

“A fine song & a very clever video”
Noel Casey, Dublin City FM

“What a beautiful song”
Tony Moore, Soho Radio

“Loving this track”
Richard Leader, Meridian FM

“We’ve seen a lot of videos filmed in isolation and heard many songs that reflect the strange times we’re currently living in. But here is how it’s done, with a perfect balance between saying something meaningful and a little tongue-in-cheek humour.”
Andrew Frolish, Americana UK

lyrics

HUMAN KINDNESS
Can you hear the words that you are saying?
What's going on is something strange
When people stop hoping and start praying
That's when you know it's time to change

Do you know you're taking the food out of their mouths?
Do you keep you're taking the heat out of their house?
Is compassion just a fashion that's fading out
Cos I'll tell you what I've found
It's not the dollar or the pound
What makes the world go round is human kindness
What makes the world go round is human kindness

The words are empty, there's no feeling
And the time is running out
When promises just have no meaning
All ambition turns to doubt

Do you know you're taking the food out of their mouths?
Do you keep you're taking the heat out of their house?
Is compassion just a fashion that's fading out
Cos I'll tell you what I've found
It's not the dollar or the pound
What makes the world go round is human kindness
What makes the world go round is human kindness

Oh brother make me strong
So I can swim against the tide
Oh brother keep me strong
In hope and faith and pride

Cos I'll tell you what I've found
It's not the dollar or the pound
What makes the world go round is human kindness
What makes the world go round is human kindness
