Empathy, Kindness and Care

Many of us live in a sense of conflict with others. It would be easy enough to pick a pack of songs that further sowed division, but I thought, why not instead focus on values. The goal then was to pick songs that expressed values of hope, kindness, empathy, compassion and understanding. We can surely agree that these are the lofty goals of our humanity rather than the daily division sewn into the fabric of our world right now. Hopefully this set of music will bring some sense of salve to the wounds you feel.
