Tragedies are happening in Columbus. Tragedies are happening in Chicago.
Music has the power to make us feel better, but sometimes feeling better isn’t what we need. Sometimes music needs to make us BE better. We, like most, have run out of meaningful words for events like these.
So here are some songs that have inspired us this week. Go out and do something good for someone. You ain’t gonna make the news with kindness, but maybe you can change the trajectory of another person’s day.
RIP Tyre King.
