“Gratitude is a simple song in the vein of ’Life’ or ’Stagnant’ (from Ocean Machine and Terria, respectively) that acts as a simple way to continue the theme of PowerNerd. During the making of this album, there were a lot of hurdles that we went through as a family, and the tendency to look at one’s lot in life from the vantage point of being a ’victim’ seems to be an easy hole to fall into. I wrote this song during a very difficult time, yet the idea of gratitude is not meant to be ironic in any way. I’m grateful for the lessons, I’m grateful for the swings and roundabouts of life, I’m here for it. Retaining equilibrium during challenging times is a job in and of itself, and in a sea of nihilistic thoughts, having one’s creative output as a tangible expression of gratitude is in many ways the whole point for me at this stage. In any event: I feel like I’m dumb as a rock, and life is so incredible and absurd, that I just feel the urge to say ’Thank you’ for all of it. If the quality of people who surround me and this work is of any indication, we’re pointed in the right direction. Thanks =)”
Lyrics:
You see me on top of the world now, Gratitude…
Gratitude!
We’ve got believe
Things will only get better
So you got to breathe…and say thank you
Mother, please let the kid enjoy
Mother, please let him be a boy
You see me on top of the world now, Gratitude…
Gratitude!
So easy on top of the world, I’m glad it’s you…
Gratitude!
I’ve just come to say goodbye
(You don’t want it to die)
But I’ve had a great life…
…thank you
Mother, I’m hauling heavy loads
And mother, I long to be alone
You see me on top of the world now, Gratitude…
Gratitude!
So easy on top of the world, I’m glad it’s you…
Gratitude!
