The Gratitude Song… Thankfulness in sound and words

Experiencing the music of Michael Farr is as much a treat for the spirit as it is for the ears. Combining an earthy guitar style, intuitive lyrics and sweet, soulful singing, Michael creates a sound that is fresh and serves to open the heart as well as the mind.

 

Michael Farr dedicated his inspirational album of songs celebrating freedom in honor of American servicemen and women.  Listen to the title track “Thankful”… maybe just once - or maybe start every day with it! “My inspiration for this song was to counterbalance all the negative issues that have led us into war, with a celebration of all the freedoms we can sometimes take for granted,” Farr said.

 

Tim Middleton, photographer and creator of the video, explains “This video came about from yet another event of divine synchronicity and being in the state of gratitude. Shortly after meeting Michael, the first song I heard him play was the “Thankful” or “Gratitude” song and shortly after that we recorded this version with technologically simple equipment, all powered by solar generated electricity. When I sat down at my computer to create the video, it fluidly and effortlessly came into being with the series of wild flower photographs I had taken last spring but had not yet used for any purpose. It is a testament to how being truly grateful for all elements in ones life and being open to receive the beautiful gifts which come from that, really does create even more magic to be grateful for!”
