Thank YouPentatonix96rank/position

Pentatonix – Thank You (Official Video)

Pentatonix is an a cappella group that delivers overwhelming performances with their wide-ranging harmonies.

While many of their releases are cover songs, this time I’d like to highlight one of their originals.

“Thank You” is the only original track included on the album “We Need A Little Christmas,” and as the title suggests, it centers on the theme of gratitude.

The sections featuring piano and vocals rather than a cappella also stand out as a unique element among their works.

Britt Nicole – All This Time (Lyrics)

This is a warm message song that gently embraces the bond between parent and child.

Britt Nicole, a talented singer-songwriter from North Carolina, USA, has been singing in church since childhood.

Born from her own family experiences, including her parents’ divorce, this song was released in January 2012 as the lead single from the album Gold.

Her love-filled vocals and heart-piercing melody inspire listeners to reflect on their family ties.

Featured on the album Gold, which was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, this track offers comfort to those struggling with family relationships or holding deep feelings for someone they cherish.

A Song For MamaBoyz II Men98rank/position

Boyz 2 Men – A Song For Mama 2011 NEW!!!!!

Boyz II Men are a male R&B vocal group that represents the United States.

Sung with perfectly synchronized harmonies, this song conveys a straightforward “thank you” to mothers.

Even the gratitude that’s usually too embarrassing to say out loud is something you’ll want to express directly, just like the lyrics of this song.

Because it’s sung with that distinctive, sexy male vocal, the classic theme somehow resonates deeply.

Centered around the piano with nearly all other unnecessary sounds stripped away, it lets you savor the vocals to the fullest.
