Thank You (Daniel Lanois)
« on: October 11, 2005, 05:15:38 PM »
Daniel Lanois recently did a podcast for the Wall to Wall Guitar Festival.  He does a short set at the end of the podcast.  The last track, "Thank You," was supposedly co-written with Bono but has not been released.

Here's my transcription of the lyrics:

Mmm
Thank you for the day
Thank you for the day
Thank you for the day
It takes my breath away
Thank you for the stars
That hold up the night
Thank you for the day
Thank you for the day

Mmm
Thank you for the moon
That shines so bright
Thank you for the courage
To seek out what's right
Thank you for the road
And it's endless bend
Thank you for the day
Thank you for the day

Thank you for the song
That's in my heart
May we never be apart
Thank you for the miracle air we breathe
Thank you for the day
Thank you for the day

Mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Thank you for the road
And it's endless bend
Thank you for the day
Thank you for the day


You can access the podcast here:

And since it's from a free, DRM-less podcast, I assume it's OK to post the song, which I isolated from the podcast. (AAC format)

Huh, now where do I file that song? Unofficial live?

Thanks for the find, it has a nice Simon & Garfunkel feel to it.  I don't see anything off on your transcription, I think he forgot the last verse as he stops mm hmming and somewhat tentatively goes to an older verse.

Any cover art for itms?
