about

Thank You for the Good Things is an ode to Ady’s late Grandfather, under whom he received an antique restoration apprenticeship. The song deals with, in part, the emotional struggle of leaving the trade behind, in pursuit of music.

lyrics

You gave me a good trade
And an eye for form and beauty
And now the room is a dusty museum
My arc of blood paints the ceiling

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

I’m told that I’ve your blessing
I’ve downed tools and now I play and sing
But there’re some things that I’m not too proud about
But I will strive to do what you’d think’s right

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

This song is just a pop song
Could never say all I want to say
And I question, Oo should or shouldn’t I?
Oh would you frown or smile for me?

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

That I hope will live on in me
That I hope will live on in me
