Our House

A Very Special Thanksgiving Edition—feat. Kamasi Washington, Rosalia, Alanis Morissette, The Whispers, and much more.

Good morning and welcome to a Very Special Thanksgiving Edition of Vinson Cunningham’s Quiet Storm. My gift to you on this most caloric day of the year is a fresh playlist, just about double the size of the Storms I usually cook up. Maybe you can use it to make somebody in your family bust a move.

If this is a hard time for you, I get it. Hold your head. Help is always on the way.

Until the weekend—Keep Stormin’:

with the animals dying around us
taking our feelings we are saying thank you
with the forests falling faster than the minutes
of our lives we are saying thank you
with the words going out like cells of a brain
with the cities growing over us
we are saying thank you faster and faster
with nobody listening we are saying thank you
thank you we are saying and waving
dark though it is

—W. S. Merwin, from “Thanks”
