Not many for me, but one I always play around Thanksgiving is a beautiful song called "Thanksgiving Day" by Danny & Dusty (Dan Stuart of Green on Red and Steve Wynn of The Dream Syndicate).  I can't find a video of the song, but here are the lyrics:

Thanksgiving Day

So many years down on my luck I don't know
Wondering how much lower I could go
Sometimes it's hard to make sense of it all
Searching for an easy place where I could fall

So many years I was lost I don't know
So many miles and nothing left to show
Dangling my toes across the precipice of sin
If there is a heaven will they ever let me in?

Thank you for the good times
Thank you for the bad
Thank you for everything we never had
Can I stay here with you on Thanksgiving Day?

So many times on my own I don't know
So many gardens left for me to sow
Tossed the blame like seeds across a barren field
Scars upon my life just barely concealed

Thank you for the good times
Thank you for the bad
Thank you for everything we could've had
Can I stay here with you on Thanksgiving Day?

Tossed the blame like seeds across a barren field
Scars upon my life just barely concealed
Thank you for the good times
Thank you for the bad
Thank you for everything we could've had

The wonder of a sunrise the mystery of it all
The way the lovers kiss as the rain begins to fall
Shadows cast at dusk up against the kitchen wall
Can I stay here with you on Thanksgiving Day?



"It's a sad and beautiful world"
-Roberto Benigni
