For the 3rd Thankful Song ๐๐ถ, we highlight the ultra-thankful โGive Thanksโ by Grammy-winning R&B artist, India.Arie.ย
โGive thanks / โฆGive thanks, for all that is.โ Indeed, ๐ India.Arie, indeed! 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 third entry comes from Arie and her spiritual ๐ต โGive Thanks,โ which hails from her 2017 album, ๐ฟ SongVersation: Medicine.
โGive Thanksโ is a perfect example of depth in spite of a lack of depth.ย India. Arie approaches โGive Thanksโ more like a Contemporary Christian (CCM) song, with repeated lyrics on the verse.ย Yes, Arie is a R&B artist but โGive Thanksโ doesnโt necessarily feel like a R&B record. ย Worth noting, SongVersation: Medicine was nominated for a Grammy in the New Age Album category. This record specifically certainly has such a vibe.
There are few lyrics throughout the course of โGive Thanks,โ yet, her messaging is prudent and ultimately, transcendent.ย In addition to giving thanks, Arie also โgives praiseโ and repeats the words โselah,โ โaseโ, โhallelujah,โ and โnamasteโ on the repetitive verses. ย At the end, she brings together those spare lyrics, successfully capping things off.
โThere will never be another day just like this So, letโs give praise now We give praise, and ase Say love, namaste We give praise, for all that is.โ
