My husband is not a lover of Country Music but I am. Now it plays on the car radio exclusively. This song touches his heart every time. This should be a motto song for every family. Great job Tim McGraw!
I am so glad to hear that he cried trying to sing this song. I always tear up and stutter a little when I try and sing this song. I thought it only was me who did that. I have daughters too and really listening to the words does to me. Great song Tim.
Don't actually know how I even found this song, but have listened to it already so many times, as it is what I call simply the most beautiful song I've ever heard... Thank you Tim.
+Drew Carter, thanks and I see a similar statement was made by a number of other folks. I will still listen to it as often as I do, as I believe the imperfection of the messenger does not affect the uniqueness of the message...
+Drew Carter I don't want to start an argument, my opinion is different than yours but I respect yours. he did give credit to her in another interview but it wasn't said in this. I don't know the link but it's in one of the comments below.
I love this song, it's beautiful, he's a very sensitive singer and a great dad with his daughtersWE should all be like this song, this world would be a much better place
I am in recovery and this song strikes on so many notes in the recovery program. AMAZING song I listen to it every day when my day goes bad I play it again.
aw you're a good person so you will be blessed for saying that to a complete stranger, and that is why i live my life same,and love this song so much as BILLIONAIRE, 1 of a kind woman OPRAH do too! i knew she woujld.. .love how tim is humble, REAL MAN status all the way and loyal to his wife, and children love tim!
Are you sure about that? He not being so kind to me, right now. The words for Humble and Kind came from the Lord through me to Tim and eventually Lori. If I stand by this, I stand by God. If I tell any other story, as much as I would like to, I stand against God. What's it gain me anything at all if i lose my soul? Credibility?
Was my pleasure to share with ya Tim. I feel like the bridge between what Lori started and you finished. Oh wait. Wow. Thats exactly what i am.Thanks for using my words tim. Valifated whaaaaat...
Tim has such a sweet sensitive heart. He seems like he's a purty good dad too. I love hearing him interviewed where he talks about his family & his songs. Thanks for sharing this nice video.
Awesome songg it came out at the right time My mom passed away in october.I heard Always stay humble and kind and reba mcitires just like them horses the same night. saw videos for 1st time last week. my brother told me rebas was to be on local video show at station he works at. so looked it up and Humble and Kind came on before it. BOTH SONGS Remind me of my mom and dad. as soon as find karaoke of it will sing in memory of dad. did rebas this past monday we sung our rendition of just like them horses in memory of mama.
I love that Lori has won best song 2 years in a row. I have loved her for years and I always knew how talented she was. Its just wonderful to see her getting the long awaited credit she so deserves. Our lovely little mother of 5 with her 9 albums so far released is a gift to us all.
Yes God bless Lori. Good for her. It is important that if you are going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk. At least, somebody got paid lol. Not complaining though. I did not write it for the money. But write it i did.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite songs. I think as a parent it is really everything that you try to teach your children. Wonderful song, beautiful lyrics and a true way to be. Cheers!
Omg this song just made me cry. I'm not a country music person. I only heard this song in this February of this year. Only because our small town lost NMSP OFFICER DARIAN REY JARROTT. SHOT AND KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY. EOW 2/4/2021. This is one of the songs that played in his memorial video tribute. I can assume he loved country music. RIP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. 28 years old. 💔💔😢😢 He was one of the GOOD guys.
Before seeing this video, I noticed that in the official song video he held his heart and FELT the song. His face was also riddled with emotions. Country music is all about the heart and feelings.
This is for my grandson...his mom said I couldn't see until he's old enough to decide...my heart is broken and I cry every day...God be with you and bless you I love you so much 😥😭😢
No you have done very well to hold this until now. Perfection. Thank you SO much! I need Tim to know that this song came at the perfect time and has helped impact our lives greatly!! Yes! A song can do that because it helps you to be able to word things when you are so full of emotion you can't go n d those words! Just....thank you. So much love to y'all!
I just think it,s an amazing song. Tim your song made me a first time winner in honesty kindness respect you make me a first-time winner in all those things thank you so much
Seems to be a whole lot of being the opposite of humble and kind in the comments here as regards Lori M. actually writing the song and Tim's perceived taking credit (or not) for same. It's all okay, folks. Tim has acknowledged on various venues, etc., Lori's talents and his gratitude for being able to record it and especially what it means to him as a dad. Is there anything else any of us need to fuss about on the subject? Really? Just putting it out there. Peace.
First of all you need to know what you're talking about because you didn't do your research on who wrote the song that I did and before you run your mouth know your facts both of their managers did meet with each other an okay it now pay close attention by but I'm going to tell you it happens every day. Another artist sings another artist song
Words came from me. Tim finished Loris song which had two lines and a melody. I was asked for my two cents. Tim wrote what I said, arranged it and recorded it when he was ready to. We all did our part. 95% of the lyric came from me. Lori had a vision. Tim saw the vision through. In the end, we were all humble and kind. The lyrics are my gift to Tim and Lori and to the world by extension. It was written 33 years ago when I was 19. In 1990.
Google isn't accurate. ntm. a debate online of whether or not my mentality is worthy of second guessing. But this particular song as well as Most People are Good. are complete replicas from a journal of MY writings which were stolen out of my truck when I had no where to live. And all my belongings were in my truck. I don't have much in this world at times these days but my words. whether on paper or in the sense of "a man is only as good as his word" but I tell you I'm a believer. And God will not let this go unjustified. WHOEVER used my writings to get a step ahead will pay justice seen fit by his eyes. in saying this ... You will probably respond .. that I'm delusional, crazy, etc .. etc . ... please let's just agree to disagree. I mean no one any disrespect and completely love the song.(s) but I just can't comprehend how almost... to the t.. my words of poetry wound up so far from myself. when I have children and I myself am in need. of course there's nothing to be done about it. so why complain right? No.. those were my words. I read that particular journal over and over and is the ONLY reason was able to remember ... it was a hard time in my life during then .. this one stood out bc of the lie cheat and steal line. my grandmothers many times of table talk made sure that glued to my brain. And the particular line in the other song.. about nightly news... I got word blocked for hours trying not to sound like a Dr. Suess poet when I knew my vocabulary was so much wider than my brain was allowing at that moment. And was sitting in Mrs. Jane's living room. Nightly news. . . social media, all the lies we are fed. etc etc etc. But I do believe most people are good... I am just forgotten. But please. if you don't mind. could we just agree to disagree. . . for the sake of not manifesting negativity. .. I just want my journal back. I've had my writings stolen over the years every time I go to write a book. from when I was a teenager. to now. And I don't mean any disrespect... I really don't. I just know .. k. thank you.
Thomas walker it could be his song. you don't know that its her song. other country singers sing different country singer's songs. so if you don't know all the facts please keep your mouth shut. its not about who wrote it or sang it. its a gosh darn good song and it has a lot of meaning so let's not try to be Mr. know it all ok. country music is about the meaning behind it. not if it was one singer that wrote it and another singer sang it its all about the meaning behind the country music and songs. thank you very much have a good one sir
Sure its important to know the meaning of songs. But its more important to know Lori wrote this song and she wrote it for her 5 kids. When I love a song the first thing I do is find out who wrote it. Does it really matter who sang the song for without the writer there would be no song to sing.
+Thomas Walker Tim gave Lori credit and never claimed he wrote it. We added a note about the songwriter in the video description to make sure that's clear.
+Thomas Walker he apparently did have the song for quite a while. didn't say he wrote it. Just waiting for the right time to record it. Plus other people write (articles) for him.
+Lee Hazelgrove Interesting perspective. I didn't hear him say or imply he wrote it. In fact he gives Lori the credit and praises her. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/6851683/tim-mcgraw-humble-and-kind-video-oprah
+Lee Hazelgrove Lee, I thought I would save you the time of clicking. You can read Tim's Billboard interview on billboard here: Posted by Tim McGraw on Thursday, January 21, 2016 In an interview with Billboard this fall, the superstar admitted that he might not have been able to pull the song off as well when he started his career, but now is the perfect time. "Ten or 15 years ago, I don't know if I would have recorded the song," he said at the time. "I've had it for quite a while now and have listened to it over and over again -- trying to get my head around it as to how I would do it -- and I still wasn't sure if I would ever do it. Lori McKenna wrote it, and if you've ever heard her sing, she's such a beautiful singer: her phrasing, the tone of her voice and the emotion she puts into a song. I had a recording of just her and an acoustic guitar, and I was so in love with her demo. I didn't want to mess up her song. It was at the right time in my life, with Gracie going off to school, our middle daughter graduating this year, and the kids are growing up. I felt that as an artist, I had something to offer, something to say with the song. I thought I could put enough emotion and enough years in it to make it believable, and to make people understand that it was coming from me a certain way. I tried it, and it worked out. We had just dropped Gracie off at school, and I went into the studio, and I kept blubbering. I couldn't get through it. I would get through two or three lines, and then I'd fall apart. I had to leave to go to a volleyball game, and I told Byron [Gallimore, his co-producer] that I'd try to get the song done later. He told me that 'Well, you know, we're running out of time. You really need to finish it.'" Simple & Kind
stellar...thanks for that link....I was just thrown off by the video interview where he (perhaps unconsciously) sounds like he wrote it...Im just a huge fan of the unheralded singer songwriters out there...and Lori M is simply the best...thanks, apologies
My husband is not a lover of Country Music but I am. Now it plays on the car radio exclusively. This song touches his heart every time. This should be a motto song for every family. Great job Tim McGraw!
Thank you. It's what mom and dad taught me growing up. I'll go ahead and write more. 33 years is long enough to wait.
A grown man like him, as gruff and deep as his voice is, crying at such a touching song is so precious and i LOVE when men OWN their feelings!!!
I am so glad to hear that he cried trying to sing this song. I always tear up and stutter a little when I try and sing this song. I thought it only was me who did that. I have daughters too and really listening to the words does to me. Great song Tim.
Lori McKenna is one of the greatest blessings that God has ever given the music industry.
Absolutely 💯👍!!!
Sadly, Lori wrote only 2 lines in this song. I wrote the rest. Tim put it in order and made some adjustments.
Don't actually know how I even found this song, but have listened to it already so many times, as it is what I call simply the most beautiful song I've ever heard... Thank you Tim.
+Drew Carter, thanks and I see a similar statement was made by a number of other folks. I will still listen to it as often as I do, as I believe the imperfection of the messenger does not affect the uniqueness of the message...

I am in recovery and this song strikes on so many notes in the recovery program. AMAZING song I listen to it every day when my day goes bad I play it again.

A powerful message from a top singer--to be loving ,kind and humble to all

Cool interview tim !

Lori wrote 2 lines. Just putting it out there. I wrote the rest. Tim arranged and recorded.
Peace back atcha with humble and kind love.
@@randolphjason629I spoke and tim wrote what I said and finished what Lori started. It was my gift to both of them.
Dude must be acutely sensitive. I can’t imagine breaking down and crying in the studio in front of everyone....
That was nice
❤❤❤❤❤
In other words, be more like Canadians!!!! YA
Lol funny
I have a broken leg and a broken pinkie and I love this song and one call away by Charlie puth. But every time I feel down I play this song.
Also....... I LOVE IT
Megan coppinger, you are right. Lori sent it to him years ago. in the article, however, he makes it sound like he wrote it.

he has wrote songs, but he says that are not good and hasn't released any. he said he was considering releasing an album of his songs, but hasnt yet

Retire already Tim.

This is a new song from Lori McKenna. Tim did not write it years ago, as is claimed in this bio. Lori's version is much better, too. What a phoney.
+Thomas Walker Tim gave Lori credit and never claimed he wrote it. We added a note about the songwriter in the video description to make sure that's clear.
Thomas Walker- I couldn't agree more. Thanks for mentioning this
there was a note in the written piece but nothing in the audio/video piece. The authors suggested that he had this song for years.
+Thomas Walker Be honest, Tim's version is better.
+Thomas Walker he apparently did have the song for quite a while. didn't say he wrote it. Just waiting for the right time to record it. Plus other people write (articles) for him.
Tim needs to learn to be a bit more Humble and stop making it sound like he wrote the song, and be Kind enough to give Lori Mckenna for full credit.
