Avi Kaplan - Song For The Thankful (Official Lyric Video)

Stream/Buy "Song For The Thankful" here: found.ee/SongF...
"Song For The Thankful" is written by Avi Kaplan.
Produced by Tony Berg (Andrew Bird, Phoebe Bridgers) and recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, CA., “Song For The Thankful” is a moving elegy to the power of gratitude and the light it can bring to one’s life.
“'Song for the Thankful' is about finding gratitude in every aspect of life. The good and the bad, in darkness and in light. There’s beauty to be found in all of it and I hope that anyone who listens can find gratitude in their life regardless of what end of the spectrum they are currently in.” - Avi Kaplan
Lyrics:
Goodbye darkness hello to the light
Every morning is an end to a night
Every season is bound to bring a change
There’s a new chance given every day
And it brings it back to me
Yeah it brings it back to me
Cool rain water and a breeze on my skin
Bless the new air as I breath it all in
Take it from me like a stream into the sea
Close my eyes and thank the wind and trees
‘Cause they bring it back to me
Yeah they bring it back to me
Mm
Goodbye evening hello to thenight
I’m not seein the wrong from the right
Walkin blindly on a path without an end
Then the morning comes and leads me out again
And it brings it all back to me
Yeah it brings it all back to me
Mm

@@aielle84 Thank you so much. It was on this day last year, after battling his cancers for over 3 years, that I took my husband of 28 years to the emergency room for evaluation. Strangely enough, a few days later, which was one year to the day that we had travelled to a Pentatonix concert (where Rachel Platten performed I'm Gonna Stand By You, and I sang it to him and he cried), we brought him home to hospice care.

It's really beautiful to see his songs follow his progression of this moment in his life. From songs of strength knowing that he has to push through something difficult, songs of wonder and seeking to find out some purpose, song of reassurance to know that it'll pass, and now a song of relief and tranquility of overcoming that darkness to get to the light. You got this Avi, we're all behind you on our journeys.

There is a pure magic that is created in the songs and tales we speak. That magic can make us fall, swell, sink or soar. Avi, I hope you understand how powerful the magic that is brought forward when you sing. Just look at the comments below to see the effect your voice has on us that listen. I once said that you and your music helped me through a very difficult part of my life. I am again facing hardship and just as before, this song found its way to me to help me as the others did. Thank you, Avi. May peace be always at your door, may you and your loved ones enjoy life eased from strife, and may your path be forever blessed by gods and nature, new and old.

PTX is different since Avi left. It’s not worse, just not the same. I feel like there was a certain complexity to their music with Avi that is missing without him. However, if Avi hadn’t left we would never have heard the incredible music he has inside him,or seen the beautiful videos he has created. I’d personally rather have Avi not in PTX than not have his music. Now if he could clone himself.....
