Boz Scaggs - Thanks To You Lyrics






Thanks to you
I've got a reason to get outta bed make a move or two
Thanks to you
There's a net below cause otherwise well I don't know
And thanks to you
There are promises of laughs and loves and labyrinths
And reason to suspect that I'm meant for this
A smile a song a tender kiss
Thanks to you

Thanks to you
There's a thing I think I know
I really mean or variations on that theme
Thanks to you
I have time to turn time to cool and time to burn
And thanks to you
There's something suddenly too good to miss
In other words a way through this
And just when one might feel so perfectly alone
There's someone else's stuff to trip on besides ones own
Thanks to you

One can only guess what happens next
As it is I balk and stumble through a world gone quite absurd
Dodging shadows lurching through the rain
I'm not complaining but I'm caught
With or without you I'd have to get through this anyway

So where does the genius go when business is slow
And even dreaming has a way of scheming to get you down
Likely off at some chateau so how would he know
It gets as lonely up there as anywhere
Where moving over to make room once seemed impossible
It's not impossible
That one handed applause
That unspoken word
That treefall in the forest someone finally heard
Thanks to you

  1. M.... M....

    great words.

  2. �.... ....

    なんか知らんけど、雰囲気がスーツくんに似ているねw

  3. A.... J....

    This is the song I bring as my reference going to audiophile gatherings, if your system is thin or bloated, this song will bring that out

  4. M.... ....

    This song is so shit. Who wants to listen to some old sack moping like a bitch? So gay. This is enjoyable?

  5. D.... M....

    catch a ride accross the sky; riding clouds, ain't no place I haven't been when you kiss me

  6. B.... R....

    Maybe the best love song ever

  7. R.... S....

    So so good😍😍😍 Thank you for posting

  8. J.... J....

    His songs always remind me of rainy streets at night. Very atmospheric.

  9. P.... M....

    For sure....

  10. P.... G....

    Thanks to Paul McGowan from PS Audio he sent me here teaching on subwoofer he uses this track to hear the bass synthesize in the subwoofer, great song Boz.

    P.... G....

    Me too!

  11. G.... D....

    Another one of his many great songs!

    Who recorded this originally? In the Dan Rather interview, Boz said he loves this song the best. Sing it Boz, sing it.

  15. C.... C....

    Sincronismo y sentimiento absoluto.

  16. S.... F....

    Funny...The older I get, the more I appreciate this type of music. Oh, don't get me wrong, I still love the mighty ZEP, Pink Floyd and the WHO. But I'm loving the dynamic range of this stuff. Bonnie Raitt does it for me as well.

    S.... F....

    Well said and Bonnie does it for every music lover.

  17. P.... L....

    great song!

  18. t.... ....

    Boz -that scat break right before the guitar solo is what his musicianship is all about!!! Too smooth!!

  19. L.... M....

    Boz is my man

  20. J.... E....

    I've been listening to Boz Scaggs since I was fourteen. I bought this CD when Dig came out and played this song over and over and over. It is one of the most sultry, sweet, sexy, real, profound and poetic love songs I know.

    J.... E....

    Well done Jane. All of those words that you have mentioned are appropriate i think. Thanks to you.

    J.... E....

    Apologies i meant to type Jean and not Jane. Shiraz is to blame.

  21. S.... O....

    i will repeat. This is just beautiful and sexy and perfect for Valentines night.

  22. �.... �....

    100% romantic 100% music

  26. H.... R....

    How low can you go... - man, the dynamics are wild

  27. b.... ....

    wow.. chill factor off the scale

  28. B.... ....

    Which album is that from?

  29. C.... L....

    bass 😍

  30. w.... S....

    I live in a small third world country called Wyoming. Worked in Rock radio for 40 years. I became enamored and infatuated with the genius of Bozz Scaggs early in life. (see Loan Me A Dime) I got to have lunch with him, a few record people and radio people, at the Brown Palace, in Denver, when Silk Degrees was released. Mesmerized by the discussion. His feel for real blues is like a slow River that gently cuts curves into my heart. It cuts deep enough to hurt but not hard enough to break it. And the voice? You always know when you hear Bozz. "And where does the genius go, when business is slow, and even dreaming has a way is scheming to get you down." Lyrical poetry that combines the soul and the mind as one. Thank you Bozz. For all those times your incredible art kept my heart above water. I am indebted to you........

    w.... S....

    Love Boz, met him a few times myself. Just a genius.

  31. E.... R....

    See you in the sunset My One And Only True Love. Revez

  32. E.... R....

    Thank you My Sunshine for Everything. You were my reason why. Thank you for teaching me how to love... Revez

  33. A.... L....

    Anyone care to recommend any tracks of similar quality to give my speakers a run for their money?

    A.... L....

    Diana Krall -Sway
    Allen Taylor - Color to the moon
    Lissie -hero
    Kovacs -my love
    Postmodern Jukebox Radiohead Cover ft. Haley Reinhart - Creep
    Chris Jones-Long After You're Gone

    Kyama- Vacant
    Yello - You better hide.

  34. D.... ....

    When the "Dig" album came out, it was "Miss Riddle" that got the air play.  Ran right out and bought it, kicked back with a glass of wine, and got stuck on this cut.  The lyric line is profound and the music just makes you tear up.  Boz with David Paich, Kooch Kortchmar and Roy Hargrove created a masterpiece.  "Desire" and "Call That Love" from the album are favorites as well.  Thanks so much for posting.

    D.... ....

    That one handed applause
    That unspoken word
    That treefall in the forest someone finally heard
    Thanks to you

    D.... ....

    This is an album I need to purchase!

    D.... ....

    @Meredith Anne You are so right. I would love to hear what you think. Please let me know.

    D.... ....

    Me too.

  35. L.... M....

    The lyrics are my life 💜

  36. P.... D....

    The sexyest voice ever!!....your voice hits your heart and soul , makes you follow your thoughts of love and romance and memories of lost love and new ones. ..glad I got to see you in concert. ..your my diary every song remembers when.

  43. S.... S....

    Paul McGowan (PS Audio) brought me here... can't wait to throw this on my stereo when I get home... I may have to track down an original vinyl. The dynamic range is quite impressive!

    S.... S....

    @Snook 2:08 2:48 3:18

    S.... S....

    Me too. Thanks, Paul.

    S.... S....

    Ok. My subs passed the test. :)

    S.... S....

    @epicwubtime68 Ok those notes are unfortunately a little too deep for my setup. Do you have any idea what frequency those notes are?

    S.... S....

    @mijnjoetjoep I'll look into it when I'm home on Monday. My sub can play to below 20 hz so it could be any note.. it's probably 30ish so a bit deep for most systems

  44. J.... W....

    Will be there with you ay Hudson Garden’s in Denver. Love you Boz,

  45. L.... C....

    Thank to you for this awesome song.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. �.... �....

    Goosebumps? Yes I have goosebumps, it’s that part around the middle of the song where he proper goes for it.
    But honestly I’ve had this song on repeat, must be like 50times I’ve listened to this xD

  47. s.... ....

    That is Baby making music right there.... Beautiful... Boz has a voice range many of us wish we had..

    INITIALLY THIS ALBUM OF AMAZING SONGS DID NOT DO MUCH..It has taken awhile for people to pick up on this masterpiece. Now people are realizing what a major piece brilliance this album is. Its over the top! Boz deserves a huge award for this accomplishment!! I have long believed this and it is gratifying so many others agree.

    L.... C....

  63. A.... S....

    Thanks to you, there are promises of laughs and loves and labyrinths ♪

  64. C.... R....

    I've been listening to Boz since the early seventies and he still captivated me and this song is one of the many reasons I continue to always have Boz in my top playlists.

    C.... R....

    Boz is Everything. I followed his tour throughout Northern California and Nevada when Dig was released. He is Still The Man. I couldn't say enough if I tried but my Screen and email address is MsRiddle. I nod to him all day everday.

    I had the opportunity to meet with him and talk awhile after a show in Reno. I had driven up alone with Dig on replay all the way. The Sierras where burning then much like Napa is burning now. Highways were closed and the ash looked like snow. But I kept pushing through. After the show, I took the opportunity to tell him that I was disappointed that they did not perform Sierra. He asked why. I told him about the fires and he had not heard. He had flown in to Reno airport two days prior. He promised me he would add it to the playlist for Sunday's Matinee show. I said that was awesome but I only had tickets for tonight. He asked the trumpet player to set me up with tickets and visit came to an end. But I will never forget it. I love him and his music so. Thanks to you Boz.

    C.... R....

    What a wonderful experience you've had. I've never met the man since couldn't afford the meet n greet tix but of the many many concerts I've been to throughout the years I've never been disappointed!

  65. H.... R....

    The Bozmeister! Love him.

  66. s.... d....

    This song is so beautiful it hurts. I'm just boohoo crying listening to it. If I could express myself they way he does with his lyrics, wow. Boz is boss.

    s.... d....

    steven drake
    Well put - so beautiful it hurts - but in a good way

  67. T.... D....

    Superb!!

  68. A.... R....

    One of my favorite songs of all time. Pretty amazing song if you have the right speakers to hit the full range this song provides. Just a really well written song that takes me from being angry to chill pretty quickly after a long hard day.

  69. G.... P....

    Brs sound kkkkkk

  70. m.... b....

    thanks to you, wrs, i'm alive again.

  71. T.... F....

    god Damm the dynamic range of this song is incredible!

    T.... F....

    Subwoofer test track for sure.

    T.... F....

    Tim Fullname such an underrated album maybe because it was released the day after 911

  72. m.... b....

    i can't stop loving this man. there's nothing else in the universe that makes me so happy. his voice, his style, his eyes, and even his generosity to other performers. his stance.... i'm 62 so ya know how long this has been going on.

    m.... b....

    I'm 60 and my friends and I first listened to Lowdown in the late 70s - I've enjoyed his music ever since. It makes me happy.

    m.... b....

    You've just spoken my heart. William R Scaggs touches my soul in so many ways.

    m.... b....

    Merrie great comment, you nailed it!

    m.... b....

    The ONLY good thing I retained from a former relationship in the 70's was being introduced to this music

    m.... b....

    Met him at a "meet and great" before his concert at Niagara Fallsview Casino several months back. Very nice man. AWESOME concert! I'm 59 myself. He's been part of my listening for many years.

  73. P.... H....

    Fabuleux

  74. P.... W....

    His music moves the spirit, the mind and the body. And its great making out music

  75. j.... r....

    Boz is the sexiest lyricist of the past 40 years. Look at the women's comments below.
    He is my hero.

    j.... r....

    Well I wouldn't go that far. He's good, but nowhere near the best.

  76. J.... V....

    the guitar riff is what gets me all tingly...

    J.... V....

    That bass line hits me in all the right places ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  77. P.... B....

    The dearest gift of an artist the lyrical amendment to such a sweet and hopeful truth...without purpose we are but stagnant yet together in a dance called relationship we have symmetry synchronicity balance in motion...soul mated for the spiritual examples of life. Bozz always a thanks and to the truth that in Ohio's care my life made sense...I will always regret no being able to stay there. d$

  78. V.... B....

    Only ppl. who have real depth to them,ppl. who look beyond and can't relate to superficiality can really appreciate and love this guy, I guess that includes everyone here because those who dnt, wouldn't be listening to this song speak to their soul.

    V.... B....

    you think very highly of yourself lol

  79. C.... G....

    Amazing song...

  80. r.... ....

    I first heard this wonderful song at the Toronto Audio Visual Electronics Show, on a stereo system that cost more than my house. Oh how it immediately changed my life. As I sat there with my beautiful wife of 19 yrs, and listened to the music that was so, so Oh my God do you hear this ? The most awesome and silky , voice with such heart-wrenching lyrics of Boz Scaggs, made the tears run from my eyes and soul. I love my wife more and more , every time I hear this. WoW !!!!! My My My , how a few moments can make things in your life seem so different. Awesome stereo. Awesome music . and of course my Awesome lady. Thanks to you Jess!!!! Boz Scaggs - Thanks to you as well !!!!!

    r.... ....

    How can I find an audio show near me? Or any place to listen to this song with expensive speakers?

    r.... ....

    Roofjumper90, you sound like such a wonderful, kind, appreciative man.....your wife is a very lucky woman. I'm in awe.

    r.... ....

    Listening to this again on my stereo that costs more than my rental...

    r.... ....

    @ch ga avsforum.com. Lots of guys there willing to demo their high end stuff. Me being one of them.

  81. B.... H....

    One of the best examples of a smooth bottom end!!!

  82. M.... R....

    Heard this song at work and couldn't wait to get home and download. Thanks to you Treborps and mostly to Boz Scaggs.

    M.... R....

    Mitchell Ridgeway Sr The same thing happened to me. My boss was playing this at work and it caught my ear. I had to download it

  83. S.... ....

    One of the most REAL love songs ever. And, I agree with you, bambamouse, Boz does make you listen.

    So, thanks to you, Draughn Beloved, for laughs and love and labyrinths and something certainly too good to miss...
