Happy

about

Happy started over a decade ago. I wrote the chorus with my brother Nick, originally intending it to be a country song we would sell to another performer. Then, a couple of years ago, I was just messing around trying to write a love tragedy and the words came back. The story took shape and we made a haunting and beautiful tune that I am incredibly proud of. Happy is an oft-requested fan favorite to play live. Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls/Violent Femmes/NIN) joined us in studio on drums right before the pandemic.

lyrics

As the sunlight hits your face
Through the white veil I can trace
A fear I can't mistake
As I'm praying no one sees
Your eyes dance to the side
And catch me

We don't need any words
We know how this works
Love’s a blessing and a curse
But wouldn't it be worse
If I gave in to the hurt
Instead of living what I've learned

If we could all be happy
If we could all be happy
Even though we know we can't get everything we want
If we could all remember
From sorrow comes the splendor
Then we could all surrender to the iron will of love

It's an easy thing to say
I've moved on and I'm ok
You're my shadow and my light
But our love couldn't win the fight
And i will always pay the price

If we could all be happy
If we could all be happy
Even though we know we can't get everything we want
If we could all remember
From sorrow comes the splendor
Then we could all surrender to the iron will of love

No more regrets
No more playing dead
I'm sorry
I've got a little life left and a heartbeat
I'm not done falling
In love there are calamities
Sweet tragedies
I thank you
You may not be the one
So I am moving on

If we could all be happy
If we could all be happy
Even though we know we can't get everything we want
If we could all remember
From sorrow comes the splendor
Then we could all surrender to the iron will of love

The iron will of love
We could all be happy
Even though we know we can't get everything we want
Everything we want
