Writing it was a rollercoaster of emotions due to the personal and emotional background of the song, one we can understand just by listening to the song.
“Thanks For That” features four main sections dedicated for each of the important women in Waldby’s life. Each section features subtle yet effective transformations in harmony, instrumentation and melody depending of each one of them. The first one is dedicated to his wife, in which tenderness is the dominating emotion, represented by the organ and woodwind in the harmony section. A change to a brighter key serves as an introduction to the second part which is dedicated to his daughter.
