I’m sure by now you’ve seen the fb status floating around - "30 days of thanks: Day x: I'm thankful for ____". Well here it is music nerd style. I wanted to participate, but am not foolish enough to think I will remember to post something everyday this month. Cuz then I would have this crazy status: "Days 7 – 16: I’m thankful for insert hurriedly concocted list that makes no sense here".
So I decided instead to feature songs this month about thanks, or gratitude, or even Thanksgiving (are there any?).
Today's thanks - God and family, so here are songs for them, in that order.
"Happier Than the Morning Sun" I didn't know was yet another wonderful Stevie Wonder song. I only knew the Jon Gibson version for years. I'd encourage you to check that one out too. Either way, it completely and eloquently captures my heart's condition since Jesus, in spite of the crazy things life has thrown me.
This clip reminds me of my family every time I watch it. It brings back memories of us laughing til we cried at Mr. Cosby and his family...and my dad's music-nerd like observations as he explained that was a Ray Charles song that came out in 19xx, etc., etc....and my mom doing an ever-so slight rolling of the eyes. LOL. And how that would sometimes lead to both parents telling me & sis stories about their childhoods, and whatever crazy stuff they did in high school. I still remember them chanting "SOUTHEASTERN! SOUTHEASTERN! Rah-Rah-Rah! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!" Good stuff.
*Do you have a favorite Cosby show scene or memory? What is it?
