H A P P Y T H A N K S G I V I N G
I thought to celebrate this wonderful day of Thanksgiving, I’d compile music with lyrics that express thanks in various ways.
I would like to have included at least one more – Bach – Now Thank We All Our God. Even though I have great recordings of Now Thank We All Our God, I couldn’t find one I liked as much on YouTube.
Here is my Thanksgiving wish:
Music from these artists (arranged alphabetically):
Louis Armstrong
Led Zeppelin
Bob Marley
Me’Shell Ndegéocello
Sam & Dave
Hank Williams
The six (6) THANKFUL recordings (arranged in the listening order I prefer):
Thanks A Million – Louis Armstrong
Thankful – Me’Shell Ndegéocello
Excerpts of lyrics from these six (6) songs (corresponding to the listening order above):
“Thanks a million, a million thanks to you, for every thing that love could bring you brought me”
“Thank you, Lord, for what you’ve done for me. Thank you, Lord, for what you’re doing now.”
“And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles, thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one”
“You didn’t have to love me like you did, but you did, and I thank you”
“Thank God for every flower and each tree, thank God for all the mountains and the sea, thank God for giving life to you and me, wherever you may be, thank God”
“So much suffering for fancy cars, big houses, everything, I lose my faith sometimes, I lose my faith sometimes, yeah, just want to be happy and thankful”
