- A little acoustic performance of Above All Else, Be Kind, filmed in my living room during a week's self-isolation. I've also been putting together a special video for the full track, which will be released next week. Keep an eye out, subscribe to my channel and please share the song in the meantime.
Sending much love to everyone who's in a similar boat just now. (Many of us, it would seem).

Above All Else, Be Kind (Live)

Lyrics:
There is a wind of spite that chills
There is a song-less sky of still
If I were struggling for breath, who’d clasp me close?
Who’d bear my breathing
As I gasped in death?
There is a dark that light can’t kill
Within the blinding fear it fills
If I were huddling for warmth, who’d clean my clothes?
Who’d share their blankets?
Or would I freeze alone?
This is not difficult or radical
This is fundamental. This is pivotal.
This is the most important:
Be kind, be gentle
Be mild, be simple
Be patient, be peaceful
But above all else, be kind
There is a thirst no substance can quench
There is a hunger that will not be silent
If you were famished, your children unfed
Who’d sit you down to share their table?
Who would share their bread?
This is not difficult or radical
This is fundamental. This is critical.
This is the single most important:
Be kind, be gentle
Be mild, be simple
Be patient, be peaceful
But above all be kind
Be humble
Show mercy, show caring
Don’t hate or hide,
Don’t let fear divide
Above all else...
Above all else, be kind

Simply the most beautiful listening experience I’ve ever had - at this pivotal moment in humanities her/his-story this is a perfect reminder that creativity and music bring us together and have the power to silence and heal our deepest fears. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to you Fran for this gift ❤️
That's really lovely of you, thanks Kevin ❤️
Well done Fran, so poignant and appropriate. I'll share to my facebook.
Woah this is simply stunning. Thank you so much for posting. I am now looking up all your music- your voice, guitar work and songwriting on this song has me hooked 😊 gorgeous x
Beautiful! 🤗Our country just announced full lock down for 21 days
Thank you, Rikalet - hope you're doing ok. Sending solidarity from this end.
This was so beautiful and raw Fran. It's incredible to see artists keeping spirits high in dark times like these. Well done. I hope your getting by okay.
Thanks Dom! Sending all the best to you too!
Thank you for this session, for this song. I am starting to feel restless being quarantine at home and I’ve got 9 days left, your music truly beautiful.
It's really tough but it will come to an end - hope you're holding up ok, Dian! Sending all the best from this end.
@@Ajimalmusic Thank you! Stay safe. x
Hi Fran, this is a wonderful song and it makes me cry every single time I listen to it - it speaks to the heart of everything I hold dear. I would really love to learn it on guitar, do you by any chance have the tab? I'd be happy to pay for it to support your work.
