I’m so excited for you to join us in this wonderful endeavor! Please choose the voicing that is best for you. We have included PDF for you to print as sheet music or share on digital devices, Midi so you can playback notes, and XML if you would like to tweak the notes or sheet music at all. So that we’re able to combine a variety of videos into one master video, we ask that you: * Keep the song in the key of Bb * Keep the tempo at 130 beats per minute (a little faster than the original) Feel free to change anything else you’d like to make it fit your group, we just need the key and tempo to align. Ideally you’ll capture your audio - make a recording - then record a video while lipsync to your own voices (just as every video is made). We can’t wait to hear your joyous voices and see your creativity! In case you would like to reference the original song:

And if you’d like to hear the first A Capella performance of this song (at NYC's Lincoln Center)
to capture the vibe: WATCH THIS VIDEO

Most of all HAVE FUN! When you have completed your video email info@payitforward911.org to request instructions on how/where to upload your final music video.

You may share your own music video on any social media channels with this explanation and tags: Our a capella group joined a A Global Harmony for Remembrance of the 9/11 tragedy as the world marks the 25th anniversary in 2026.

We sing Zak Abel's "Be Kind" because the world needs more kindness today. Start planning for the #11DaysofKindness in September where you live.

We are grateful to Sony Music and songwriter Zak Abel for donating the rights to sing this song!
