"When the World Gets Loud" is a quiet, thoughtful acoustic ballad rooted in the same heartbeat as Mike Baker’s blog post, “When the World Gets Louder, Get Kinder.” Written in a fingerpicked, singer-songwriter style, the song was born out of a growing tension Mike felt — the volume of the world rising, the noise getting sharper, and the emotional cost of it all. Rather than raising his own voice to match it, this song became his way of answering it with grace.

It’s about choosing gentleness even when it’s hard, speaking softly when the world shouts, and standing your ground not with volume, but with quiet conviction. The lyrics reflect that spirit of calm defiance — the idea that kindness isn’t weakness, it’s courage. Just like the blog, this track is a reminder that when the chaos swells, there's strength in stepping back, listening, and leaning into empathy.

This is a song for long drives, porch sits, and soul-deep exhales. A song to remind yourself: you don’t have to get louder. You just have to get kinder.
