My Gen X Playlist: Thank You – Dido

Scroll down to see more content

Happy Thanksgiving! Adding a song of thanks to the playlist.

Dido released Thank You in 1998. It appears this was one of many in that year.

Natalie Merchant, who also played at Lilith Fair, had a very thankful song in 1998 with “Kind & Generous.” That same year, Alanis Morissette had a hit with “Thank U.”

Three songs of thanks in the same year. Not a bad hat trick. Hope everyone enjoys the Thanksgiving holiday!

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
That I might not last the day
And then you call me
And it's not so bad, it's not so bad

And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me

And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

  6. It’s a fabulous song. The official video for it is an interesting contrast to the lyrics; a great reminder that gratitude doesn’t just belong with the high moments in life. Thanks for your post and Happy American Thanksgiving!
