Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Even when we feel grateful to our family, partners, or close friends, it can be difficult to express those feelings honestly.

Why not try conveying the words that feel too embarrassing to say on a daily basis through a song?

In this article, we introduce classic English-language songs that express a variety of feelings of gratitude.

Along with well-known staples, we’ve also included a wide range of tracks such as songs in which artists sing about their appreciation for their fans.

We hope you find a new favorite.

Just The Way You AreBruno Mars

This song, which sings to a lover that they’re perfect just the way they are, is a huge hit by Bruno Mars.

It was also his debut single, which became the springboard for his brilliant career.

The chorus includes an impossibly sweet line about how the world stops for a moment when you smile, making it a perfect song to listen to while thinking of your loved one.

Although released in 2010, it uses sounds that retain a retro feel in the drums and other rhythm parts, showcasing his taste to the fullest.
