February 17 is National Random Acts of Kindness Day - a day to pay it forward, be polite, smile at people and do simple, nice things for others, and it couldn't come at a better time.

We've done Coffee Breaks about being nice before, but we'd love to hear examples of songs that reference acts of kindness - actual things you can do for others - this time around.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that reference acts of kindness?

Submit your own idea for a Coffee Break and browse past Coffee Breaks in our archive.
