Andy Grammer, Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah) | Thankful Songs 🙏🎶

For the 11th Thankful Song 🙏🎶, we highlight “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” where Andy Grammer is thankful for being alive.

“I’ve been grinding so long, been trying this shit for years / And I got nothing to show, just climbing this rope right here…” Okay, 🎙 Andy Grammer – dropping that s-bomb on us! Before we dig into exactly ‘what the shit is’ that Grammer has been ‘trying’ on this standout, let me remind you the premise of Thankful Songs 🙏🎶! On Thankful Songs 🙏🎶, we highlight songs in which the musician (or musicians) show gratitude about something or towards someone.  This idea came from the fact that in November, here in the United States of America, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving.  So, what better way than to celebrate than select some awesome songs that exhibit gratitude? Our 11^th entry comes from Grammer with 🎵 “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” from his 2015 album, 💿 Magazines or Novels [Deluxe].

Prior to issuing the deluxe edition of Magazines or Novels, Andy Grammer had a surefire gem on his hands with “Honey, I’m Good.” which clearly elevated his profile.  He would earn another hit, though less successful, with “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah).” On “Good to Be Alive,” the production work is gimmicky though Grammer sounds utterly ebullient – cool word if I do say so myself! Anyways, he has good reason to sound ebullient.  Basically, he’s thankful for the success he’s achieved, asserting, “Feels good to be alive right about now.”  So, connecting it all together, that ‘shit he’d been trying’ – finding and carving out success.  Now that he’s finally achieved some, he’s thankful and it feels pretty sweet.
