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.

Thnks fr th MmrsFall Out Boy

Thnks fr th Mmrs

Thnks fr th MmrsFall Out Boy

This song can be described as a gratitude track that expresses their honest feelings.

They’re essentially emblematic of 2000s emo bands, and their style is influenced more by emo that came through a gothic lineage than by early emo.

They enjoy overwhelming support, especially from younger rock fans.

Whereas 1980s emo was popular mainly among hardcore rock fans, the gothic-tinged emo of the 1990s and 2000s succeeded in winning over younger music listeners.

A Letter Of Thanks

A Letter of ThanksJack Bruce

Jack Bruce is a musician known as the lead vocalist, bassist, harmonica player, cellist, and pianist of the rock band Cream.

His guitar technique is outstanding and has been highly praised by Eric Clapton.

Above all, his passionate singing voice is incredibly cool.

His sound—cranking the bass amp at high volume and playing as if always in a solo—had a tremendous influence on bassists of his generation and those who followed.

He is truly one of the defining bassists of the rock world.
