Firstly, the guitar has such a warmth -love that and then the theme is perfect in its simplicity and so powerful. Right now we need to reminded of looking after one another. Im often too concerned with myself. This is a sweet wake up call. Preach. ❤️

This is an undeniable showcase for your songwriting. I particularly liked the "god shaped hole" lyric. What's so impressive is that the melody is as strong as the lyric writing. Great stuff!

Totally love the melody!!!  It's solid, strong and powerful, gentle and delicate, and very memorable.  Really really strong hook.

A true message. Good on you putting this out there!

Getting some strong James Taylor vibes throughout the song. Loving it! Nice work, y'all!

this is a song meant to be sung out loud and let the feeling fill your heart <3

Love it! It reminded me of a cheesy little poem I had to learn for school when I was young called "How to be Happy" - I mean the message not the cheesiness ;) Well done! (Here's the poem - http://sneakykitchen.com/Poetry/how_tobe_happy.htm)

Sharing strength, Hope and experience! Yep, when the hole is a void, then only the One who creates in the void can fill it! One of my favorites ! 😁👏👏👏❤️ from David Easterling 

"Help Somebody" (#379, 200719)

 * Co-written with Pete & Pat Luboff * 

Ever get a feeling like everything is wrong
Everybody joined the club and you just don't belong
You're cold and lonely on the outside looking in
When it all feels like it's over where do you begin

Help somebody it'll turn your world around
Help somebody get your feet on solid ground
When you're down and out and upside down reach out to someone else
Help somebody and you help yourself
Help somebody and you help yourself

Got a God shaped hole and I can't fix it with food
Can't fill it up with money or drown it in booze
I dreamed someone could love me and make it all okay
Never knew there was a way out 'til I heard somebody say

Help somebody it'll turn your world around
Help somebody get your feet on solid ground
When you're down/out upside/down reach out to someone else
Help somebody and you help yourself
Help somebody and you help yourself

Maybe you think I've got it all together
Don't believe what you think you see
Because we could both get to feelin' better
If you'll help somebody like me
