Today being Thanksgiving in the USA I figured I would put up a collection of songs that are either about thanks or gratitude! I have quite an eclectic taste so they are across the board in terms of genre and tempo. Hopefully you will enjoy hearing some of these and they will put you in the spirit to thank those around you for how wonderful they are and give thanks for all the wonderful things we have on this earth.

I know that everyone is not fortunate enough to have friends and family to celebrate with, or even enough food to eat, but even if that is the case I think we always have something to be grateful for and putting that energy out into the universe is never a bad thing.

Pixies - All I Think About Now

The lyrics of this song are all about how even when things are tough you have to remember the good times.

Beastie Boys - Gratitude

The title of this one is pretty self explanatory :)

Just one thing, do you know you?
What you think, that the world owes you?
What's gonna set you free?
Look inside and you'll see
When you've got so much to say it's called gratitude

Kaada - Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time

Even when we can't help others monetarily we have time, and time is a very valuable thing as it is extremely precious. It is one of the best gifts we can give to friends and loved ones.

Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful world

This is such a classic and always makes me think of the holidays. Just a little reminder that we do live in a wonderful and fascinating world.

Andrew Gold - Thank You For Being A Friend

Who could forget this class, yes it is the theme song from Golden Girls, never miss a chance to tell your friends you love them and you appreciate their friendship!

I hope everyone has a wonderful turkey day full of thanks and gratitude!
