Hearing "What the World Needs Now Is Love," I too think of Dionne Warwick. Similar themes are found in "Higher Love." Kygo produced a hit version of this song as well using Whitney Houston's vocal track. A couple of years ago my daughter "discovered" it. She had no idea who Steve Winwood was or that the song was a #1 hit during the Gordon Gecko 80s.
RK, thanks for this! I think we can safely say Kygo has a thing for the 80s. 😉 And good call on 'Higher Love' lyrics. Indeed Steve Winwood (and Chaka Khan on rhythm) was encouraging us all to a higher calling.
Brad; very interesting and thoughtful. I've spent a little time in Finland; Helsinki and rural/smaller city areas; I've been greatly impressed with the way that society thinks about caring for people and creating a place for everyone. It is also a culture of self-assured competency and modesty. where women have achieved much without the resentment of such so prevalent in some other societies.

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
