For the 7th Thankful Song ๐๐ถ, we highlight โFamily,โ where R&B artist Aloe Blacc is thankful for his family.
[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”โA” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]nd on my dark days / My sad and broken heart days / Youโre all that I need / And through your worst times / Together we’ll be alright / Youโre safe here with me.โ Right on, ๐ Aloe Blacc, RIGHT ON! Before we dig into this inspirational standout, let me remind you the premise of Thankful Songs ๐๐ถ! On Thankful Songs ๐๐ถ, we highlight songs in which the musician (or musicians) show gratitude about something or towards someone. ย This idea came from the fact that in November, here in the United States of America, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving.ย So, what better way than to celebrate than select some awesome songs that exhibit gratitude? Our seventh entry comes from Blacc with ๐ต โFamily,โ from his 2020 album, ๐ฟ All Love Everything.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]
โFamilyโ sets the tone for All Love Everything, the long-awaited, comeback album from Aloe Blacc. Itโs an optimal, prime example of a clean-cut, thoughtful R&B record โ one that wouldnโt dare offend in the least. Obviously, the title suggests a certain sentiment, one viewed through a positive connotation. Nothing wrong with positivity! On the chorus, Aloe Blacc asserts, โโฆI know itโs a long road but all I need / Is right here next to me / My family / My family.โย On the verses, the importance of family and life lessons shine like a beacon lyrically, particular Blaccโs own aspirations:
โIโm gonna show them [my little ones] how to dream Weโll plant a seed and watch it grow into a tree.โ
