	Story Behind the Song On this song about people who don't appreciate nice things you do for them I proudly wear my influence of Ray Davies and the Kinks. The Kinks have always been one of my very favorite groups. Everytime I listen to their albums I hear new things that inspire me as a songwriter. Lyrics It was an act of kindness that you chose to throw into the wind Well it was once upon a time You and I were doing fine And I treated you like any good man should Well there's just no place where you could find Someone who would have been more kind And tried to keep to always feeling good But then you pushed me off the ride And left me stranded on the side And continued on your way without a care Well it kept me down for quite a while Are friends who care just not your style You had a good thing by your side but left it there It was an act of kindness that you chose to throw into the wind Then you let somebody in You were on your feet again But he doesn't seem to care about how you feel Well, could you really be so blind To not see just what lay behind His bitter eyes, some things you can't conceal It was an act of kindness that you chose to throw into the wind Well I can't see for the life of me Just how you thought in him could be The love you felt I could not give Is this the way you want to live? And if that's so, that's awfully strange to me Well you can have the life you lead If you feel that's what you need And you're happy with the mess it seems you've found We'll I've someone new, we're doing fine Above the world we've started flying So my farewell to you there on the ground It was an act of kindness that you chose to throw into the wind It was an act of kindness that you chose to throw into the wind Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yea
