about

Feel-good, positive vibe, acoustic folk/pop cafe music. Female vocal with an awesome whistling solo (if I do say so myself)! This song is dedicated to front line workers and all the ordinary people who do extraordinary things for strangers or people they barely know. We appreciate you!!!

lyrics

EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE
Music & Lyrics by Gwen Holt (ASCAP)/Lyrics by Roy August (BMI)
April 11 Music (ASCAP)/April Dawn Music (BMI)

You don’t know them – they don’t know you
Neither one knows what the other’s goin’ through
When it comes to breathing – everybody’s equal
But I’m so thankful for – extraordinary people

People who’ll face (people who’ll face) – face any danger (hoo oo)
Stop - in a heartbeat – to save a total stranger
They don’t want the credit (hoo oo) – they want love to conquer evil
(ha ah)
I’m so thankful for – extraordinary people

Well it could be somebody – with an extraordinary heart
Who’s always there to help out – whenever things fall apart
Or it could be somebody – you never woulda thought
That suddenly steps in – with everything they got – even if

You don’t know them (you don’t know them) – and they don’t know you (hoo oo)
Neither one knows – if they’ll even make it through
Well there’s heroes and angels (hoo oo) – from the streets up to the steeples (ha ah)
I’m so thankful for – extraordinary people

They don’t want the credit (hoo oo) – they just do whatever’s needed
(ha ah)
I’m so thankful for – extraordinary people (hoo oo) (ha ah)
Oh whoa I’m thankful for – extraordinary people (hoo oo) (ha ah)
Oh I wish I could do more – for extraordinary people

about

Gwen Holt Nashville, Tennessee

Gwen grew up in a musical family in a small town in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Everybody played & sang: uncles, aunts, parents, & grandparents. Many weekends the family would party until the sun came up and/or the beer ran out!

She loves the outdoors, meditation, and a good laugh!
