Dragon Ash - Grateful Days feat. Zeebra


Dragon Ash - Grateful Days


Grateful Days is a song by Dragon Ash, a Japanese Nu Metal band which fuses a lot of rock and hip hop elements. This song is about thanksgiving and being grateful for all the blessings we have. In this age of consumerism and "keeping up with the Joneses", we easily take everything we have for granted. Being thankful for what we have also allows us to appreciate life itself, which is the greatest gift of all.

This single was released in 1999, and it features Zeebra, one of Japan's top hip hop rappers and ACO, "The Queen of Japanese Soul", singing the chorus. The sample used to make the instrumental of Grateful Days is from Today by The Smashing Pumpkins.



Thanks to SimkuKeoni for providing the YouTube video with the English translation lyrics.
