| My Morning Jacket – Thank You Too! Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
While it has been close enough to a decade since the last comment on this song was made, I feel I would be remiss not to note the potential (or from my perspective, obvious) parallel between this song and Led Zeppelin's "Thank You." The thought is best understood by just listening to both, so I won't attempt to draw on many parallels aside from the titles — "Thank You" and "Thank You Too" (a possible play on "Thank You II"). What I do know, as both a great Zeppelin and MMJ fan, the moment Evil Urges came out and I worked my way down to "Thank You Too!" I felt a massive clicking into place. Knowing the original "Thank You" so intimately, when I saw the MMJ title and listened, "Thank You Too!" just seemed from my perspective so simply, obviously, and perfectly connected. I also felt and still feel that MMJ, especially in earlier work (At Dawn, Chocolate and Ice, It Still Moves, Z, etc.), has so much of Zeppelin in them, filtered and moulded through their own brilliant and "of the the time" artistry. Perhaps it's just a personal projection onto two incredible songs with which I have unique connections. Maybe it's just my "see everything", puzzle mapping, idea overloaded brain. But at the very least, I dare you to give them both a good listen and try NOT to feel the brilliant connection yourself. |
