So today on the message board that I frequent, there was a post asking what unknown songs or artists you like that you think should be more well known. My first thought was Hedley ha ha, but really, it was Johnny Reid. He’s an incredible Canadian Country artist (with the most amazing Scottish Accent! heck yes!). He seems very humble from what I’ve seen, very happy to be where he is now etc. So today’s post is none other than Johnny Reid!
The song I picked is called “Thank You”. From the video, I gather it is about a wife singing to a husband who just passed away. I cried like a baby the first time I heard the lyrics and saw the video together.
I decided to take a different spin on it, and I put it on a cd and gave it to my parents for their anniversary. I thought it was a great song to reflect how thankful you are to the person who has stood beside you through the years.
Although I am not married, I can relate to the song. I could say thank you to my boyfriend for a lifetime and I hope I will always remember to thank him for everything! I couldn’t imagine a day without him and I am so thankful to have him:)
I could see this being a top contender for my wedding song if I were to get married! I think it can carry many different tones, depending on the message you are looking for from a song.
Here is the video:)
Watch the video and try not to cry by the end, I dare you! lol
*****I have to link to the video, I’m sorry. I can’t stream it! but it’s worth the click, I promise!!****
Thank You Video
Thank You: Johnny Reid
If I only had two words left to say to you.
With my last breath I’d confess the truth to you.
You’ve never left my side, even when I fell behind.
Thank-you, thank-you for the life you’ve given me.
Thank-you for sharing all your love and all your dreams.
Thank-you for every tear of happiness I’ve cried.
Thank-you for laying down beside me here tonight.
When I close my eyes, I say a prayer for one more day with you.
And when I wake, I embrace the one who pulls me though.
Who pulls me through the storm when I can’t go on.
Thank-you, thank-you for the life you’ve given me.
Thank-you for sharing all your love and all your dreams.
Thank-you, for every tear of happiness I’ve cried.
Thank-you for laying down beside me here tonight.
You’ve never let me down.
Its like you don’t know how.
Thank-you, thank-you for the life you’ve given me.
Thank-you, for sharing all your love and all your dreams.
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
