Taking a break from ‘What the Kids are Listening To’ to acknowledge today’s Thanksgiving holiday (apologies to the international readers). Mostly I didn’t want to post a Chris Brown song on a family holiday.
Thanksgiving doesn’t really have songs, certainly not like Christmas or even Halloween. But I did find this lovely ballad by Mary Chapin Carpenter which I think does the trick.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table
From far and near we travel home
Blessed that we are able
[Verse 2]
Grateful for this sheltered place
With light in every window
Saying “welcome, welcome, share this feast
Come in away from sorrow.”
[Chorus]
Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend and friendless;
All together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness
[Verse 3]
Grateful for what’s understood
And all that is forgiven;
We try so hard to be good
To lead a life worth living
[Chorus]
Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend, and friendless;
All together everyone, let grateful days be endless
[Outro]
Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table

At one of the places Daniel gigs, he was asked to play Thanksgiving songs. We couldn’t think of any, so it’s nice to know at least one.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Let the feast and fantasy football begin!
