1. Gratitude is a rock band from San Francisco, California. They were formed in 2003 by former onelinedrawing and Far alum Jonah Matranga and guitarist Mark Weinberg (originally of the band Crumb). Other members included guitarist Jeremy Tappero and bassist Bob Lindsey. Drummer David Jarnstrom joined the band before the release of their self-titled debut album (session musicians fulfilled the drum role during the recording of the album). Atlantic Records released Gratitude on March 8, 2005. The tracks Drive Away and This Is The Part, were released as singles and received significant radio play both in the US and the UK. Gratitude's first tour for the album was a North American tour supporting Jimmy Eat World (whom the band has often been compared to), and they were also on the bill for the 2005 Warped Tour.
The band faced many difficulties after their album's release - the commercial response was somewhat poor, and Weinberg left the band in June for personal reasons, thus forcing Gratitude to continue touring as a four-piece. Many show cancellations throughout the second half of 2005 and rumours of the band being dropped by Atlantic put the future of the band at stake. Eventually Gratitude released a statement on November 25 claiming that they had in fact decided to split after playing one final show at the Ascot Room in Minneapolis two days earlier.
The members of Gratitude have now gone onto to various things, with frontman Jonah Matranga continuing with his solo work and the recently-reformed band Far. Members, Jeremy Tappero & David Jarnstrom have returned to their other band, Minneapolis rockers, Attention:.
2. Gratitude is also the name of a up and coming Hardcore/Progressive band from Kingston-Upon-Hull in the UK.

Gratitude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I want someone to love
You may think you're to blame
I'm so proud of you
And I want someone to love
I want somebody to love
Take it easy on yourself
I just need to know that
I want somebody to love
Yeah I want somebody to love
The thought of it just all of it
We wanted it maybe too much
But better than to never have tried and failed again
Oh, I want somebody to love
Yeah, I want somebody to love
Want somebody
Take it easy on yourself
Just know that you're enough
You'll find it in the end
I want somebody to love
I want somebody
I want somebody to love
Yeah I want somebody to love
I want somebody to love
Lately I'm amazed that I found someone to love
That I found someone to
Take it easy on yourself [Repeat: x5]
The lyrics of Gratitude's song "Someone to Love" convey the artist's desire for love and companionship. The singer admits feeling ashamed due to their hunger for love, but they still long for it. They assure the object of their affection that they are not to blame for this insatiable desire. The singer self-affirms that they only need to be loved and accepts themselves while demanding no expectations from their partner. The lyrics suggest the inevitability of setbacks in the pursuit of love but emphasize the importance of trying nonetheless.
The singer is singing from a vulnerable position admitting scarcity in their love life which is characteristically hard for people to do. They voice out the common desire for companionship and longing for the emotional connection that comes as a result. The theme of accommodating themselves emotionally into a relationship marks a central aspect of the lyrics. There is a recognition that sometimes people strive for companionship maybe too hard, sometimes ending up feeling disappointed. The song's core message is summed up in the repetition of "Take it easy on yourself, just know that you're enough." This line is comforting, inspirational, and empowering to the song's audience who may be going through similar experiences of loneliness.
