While many artists are already releasing their latest renditions of Christmas classics, singer/songwriter Ben Rector is taking a moment to give thanks to the oft rushed over November holiday.
"I hope this song captures the magic and nostalgia that we all look forward to at Thanksgiving. I also secretly hope that this becomes the official theme song for Thanksgiving," Rector jokes about his new holiday song.
From pumpkin pies to green bean casseroles, down to the cranberry sauce and gravy, Thanksgiving has a look and feel all of its own—except for the music!

"I realized I hadn't ever heard a Thanksgiving song," Rector recalls of the holiday. "I feel like everyone has an emotional connection and a lot of memories around Thanksgiving, just like they do Christmas, so I did my best to write a song that honored that."
The piano-lead tune instantly sounds like a classic but captures a tone that feels distinctly Thanksgiving. Rector brings the holiday imagery to life with three different videos for the song, including a live performance in front of his piano and a red backdrop, a sing-a-long style video with a Thanksgiving spread by the fireplace, and a beautifully crafted lyric video that incorporates all the traditional sights and dishes of Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, "The Thanksgiving Song" is just that, one song. However, you can keep the celebrations going into December with Rector's debut holiday offering, A Ben Rector Christmas. The album features a host of classics, including "The Thanksgiving Song," and is available now.
