Thank You - Dido

Thank You - Dido
3:37
Sliding Doors soundtrack, 1998
Written by Dido Armstrong and Paul Herman

A soft ballad over a steady percussion, some probably programmed.  In this song, the narrator is depressed over, possibly an absent love, but also just the trails of living ("I drank too much last night, got bills to pay / My head just feels in pain / I missed the bus and there'll be hell today").  But then she sees the picture of her inamorata, or gets a phone call, and "it's not so bad."  It's a tender sentiment, delivered with an etheral voice.
