Thumbs Up For Mac

There’s a file called Thumbs.db in almost every one of the folders on my computer. What is it and how to delete thumbs.db files in windows 10 or windows 7?

This is a cache that contains copies of each of the tiny preview images generated for files in that folder. By saving these previews instead of constantly regenerating them, the system saves resources and the images load up quickly the next time you browse that folder.

Despite the fact that Thumbs.db is a hidden system file, it annoys people because it tends to show up in places where it’s not wanted. Many times you’ll try to zip up a folder full of images and e-mail them to a friend or upload them to an FTP site, and Thumbs.db goes along for the ride.

'Thumbs' is a song recorded by American singer Sabrina Carpenter from her second studio album Evolution (2016), included as the third track of the album. The track was written by Priscilla Renea and its producer Steve Mac. The song was originally released by Hollywood Records as the third promotional single from Evolution on October 7, 2016, a week before the album's release. It was later released as the album's second single on January 3, 2017. 'Thumbs' is an up-tempoelectropop song with house and pop elements. Lyrically, the song talks about embracing individuality and rising above mediocrity.

It was accompanied by a music video directed by Hayley Young premiered on her Vevo channel on February 10, 2017. The music video was made in one take and it featured Carpenter and a lot of people in a subway. Carpenter promoted 'Thumbs' with several live performances, including on Radio Disney Music Awards 2017, on Today and on The Late Late Show. It was the first song by Carpenter with a chart impact and it peaked at number one on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. It was certified Gold by United States (RIAA) and Platinum by Norway (IFPI).

Background and recording[edit]

It was released initially as a promotional single and later released as a single. The song was written by Steve Mac and Priscilla Renea and was the only song in the album without Carpenter's writing credit. The song was the last recorded for the album, Carpenter says. 'We'd finish the album, I then heard 'Thumbs' which gave me these vibes of fame and black and gold and just like some of my favorite soulful songs.'^[1] The song talks about embracing individuality and escaping mediocrity. She says that if people are falling into the same mistakes they are going to continue twiddling them thumbs, so they are going to live in the mediocrity. Carpenter describes the other songs on the album as 'children' of 'Thumbs'.

Composition and lyrical interpretation[edit]

Musically, 'Thumbs' is a three minutes and thirty-six seconds electropop song with pop and house elements. In terms of music notation, 'Thumbs' was composed using ⁴
₄ common time in the key of C minor, with a moderately fast tempo of 135 beats per minute.^[2] The song follows the chord progression of Cm-Csus-C5-Csus-Cm–A♭-Fm/A♭-A♭-Fm/A♭-A♭-Fsus7-F7-B♭sus-B♭. Carpenter's vocal range spans from the low note F3 to the high note of G5, giving the song two octave and one note of range.^[2] The tempo has a Swing feel.^[2]

Lyrically, the song talks about embracing individuality and rising above mediocrity. The lyrics 'They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs' is a metaphor that means wasting your time doing pointless things and never making any real progress.

Music video[edit]

The music video, which was directed by Hayley Young,^[3] was uploaded on her Vevo account on YouTube on February 10, 2017.^[4] The set of the music video is downstairs in a New York City Subway car and it was made in one take. The music video features Carpenter singing the song with several people inside the subway doing their daily tasks. When the idea of the video was being processed, Carpenter thought of a subway because it's where you find different people, the line 'Somewhere in the world' represents that people.

Critical reception[edit]

Brittany Goldfield Rodrigues of ANDPOP said 'the jazzy vibe of this song sold us, and the scatting just made us play it on repeat. With this tune Sabrina really makes us fall for her unique jazz vibes she sprinkles into her pop sound.'^[5]

Live performances[edit]

Carpenter first performed the song on the Honda Stage at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles on August 25, 2016, along with other new music before the release of Evolution.^[6] She performed the song on Today on November 22, 2016.^[7] On April 17, 2017, she made her late night talk show debut by performing the song on The Late Late Show with James Corden.^[8] On April 29, 2017, she performed the song at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards.
