“Thank You” isn’t about any band in particular – bassist Karl Alvarez calls out names like Black Flag, The Last, and X while playing the song live.
This song is followed by a hidden track, “Grand Theme,” in homage to the song “Theme” from 1985’s I Don’t Wanna Grow Up, as well as sister band ALL’s “...
[Verse 1]
I listen to you for hours
I'll listen all day just keep hitting me the right way
Sing your song in the shower
Cause you got a way to say what I can never say
[Pre-Chorus]
Right, right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong
[Chorus]
I won't say your name
But you know who you are
I'll never be the same again
Now, no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play
[Verse 2]
You don't get played on the radio
That's not the game you play
Well I don't care anyway
I glued your tape in the stereo
So I know every word every note and every chord is
[Pre-Chorus]
Right, right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong, feel like nothings wrong
[Chorus]
I won't say your name
You know who you are
I'll never be the same again
Now, no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Did you know you're why I go
And waste my time at a rock and roll show
You let me know I'm not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
You make me feel strong, make me feel strong
Feel like nothing's wrong
[Chorus]
I won't say your name
But you know who you are
I'll never be the same again
Now, no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play
[Outro]
Thank you for playing the way you play
Thank you for playing the way you play
Thank You was written by Karl Alvarez.
Thank You was produced by Stephen Egerton & Bill Stevenson.
