17 Songs For Thanksgiving
Warner Music Nashville

In honor of Thanksgiving, the Music, Festivals & Concert Coverage team has come up with 17 songs for this upcoming Thursday. These songs will make you feel thankful, grateful, and good. Everyone needs a little reminder of the good in life, so here are a few songs to get you there. Enjoy the day with family and friends, and take some time out of your week to really think about what makes you feel thankful. So, each too much turkey, and have way too much fun with your family, and maybe even take a listen to this playlist.

1. "Collide" by Howie Day

"Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine"

2. "This Town" by Niall Horan

"Cause if the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you"

3. "Loving Someone" by The 1975

"You should be loving someone"

4. "The Greatest" by Tonight Alive

"Cause here I am fearless, here I am weightless, here I am unbreakable, here I am the greatest"

5. "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts

I think it's safe to say this song is something everyone would want to hear from someone they love, and I'm sure these lyrics make you thing of someone special as well.


6. "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue

"I'm on my way, home sweet home."

7. "As Long As It Takes" by The Spill Canvas

"Because I'll be here as long as it takes
A remedy to steady your midnight shakes
I'll stay here as long as it takes
As long as it takes to get it right"

8. "Humble & Kind" by Tim McGraw

9. "Thank You For Loving Me" by Bon Jovi

"You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me"

10. "From The Ground Up" by Dan and Shay

11. "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart

"May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam.
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home.
And my you grow to be proud, dignified and true.
And do unto others as you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave.
And in my heart you'll always stay
, forever young"

12. "This Is Love" by The Script

"This is why we do it
This is worth the pain
This is why we fall down
And get back up again
This is where the heart lies
This is from above
Love is this, this is love"

13. "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts

"I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
That every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms"

14. "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack

"I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens"

15. "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw

"Chase your dreams, but always know the road that will lead you home again."

16. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys

"Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do"

17. "My Way" by Frank Sinatra

"I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way"

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

Fans love her because she isn't afraid to be herself. April can seem cold and negative, but she's really just fearless and strong-minded. And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
