    “Thank You” is an old fashioned call-and-response Gospel number that feels just right on such a unique Easter weekend.

    My new song ‘Thank You’ has a very special meaning,” says Porter. “I wrote it about you, my fans – thanking you for coming to my shows, for listening to my music and supporting me through the years. I also wrote it to say thank you to all the people who have helped me on this journey, I am grateful to you for your inspiration and encouragement. But in this difficult time, I wanted to also thank all those who are working on the frontlines, those who are looking out for us. This song is about the roots of our faith that we can lean on to bring us through this dark valley. It is for family, for friends, for everyone. This song is for you.”

    Check out “Thank You” below, and take a moment to thank someone in your life.
