Thankful Songs

Cafe Society
1

I’ve been coping by spending a lot more time listening to music and a lot less time online or watching news. It occurred to me that given the time of year and recent events, it might be worth putting together a playlist of songs about thankfulness (and maybe hopefulness) to provide a refuge and some comfort. Discourse reminded me that there was a thread about thanksgiving songs in 2019, but five years that include a pandemic may be long enough to justify another one.

Yes, I know this OP may make me a bit of a pollyanna ( Pollyanna - The Glad Game), but what the heck. Here’s a song to start off.

Thankful - Beth Hart

I’ve always liked the song “All That I’m Allowed (I’m Thankful)” by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

Also, I was raised in a religious environment and was exposed to contemporary Christian music, and this is one of the first things that crossed my mind whether I like it or not. Hold your nose and experience the syrupy glurge of Thank You For Giving to the Lord
