"HUMBLE AND KIND" VIDEO – TIM MCGRAW


Tim McGraw took to Facebook yesterday (1/21) to release the video for his new single, "Humble and Kind." Featuring clips of people from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds, the video uses profound images to convey the song's inspirational message. Tim said in the caption for the video, "This song is so special to me. I really wanted a video that showed the universality of the message of Humble and Kind." McGraw also thanked the video's director Wes Edwards for "executing this vision" and sent thanks to Oprah Winfrey for lending them scenes from her Belief series, which is a program that searches the origins of diverse faiths from around the world and explores the many spiritual journeys people embark on. "Humble and Kind" is the second single released off Tim's latest album, Damn Country Music. The video for the song can be seen here.

After the video was released, McGraw's wife, Faith Hill, took to Twitter to call the clip "A masterpiece!" and Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley had something else to say. Kelley tweeted, "I remember talking to @TheTimMcGraw about this song when it came out. So glad it's his new single #StayHumbleandKind". Here's the video...
