This year I participated in FAWM, a yearly challenge where musicians try to write 14 songs in the month of February. I failed, but I still managed to write 12 songs, and those will be out soon, but until then, I decided to release one of them as a single, and "Happy Song" seemed like the best fit for that.


LYRICS


I'm just so happy today yes I think.
'Cause I finally have a better place to sing.
So my sound is no longer bad.
...Except it is, so I'm still sad.


Plus there's still all those reasons that I said.
So, I go through the day but I still feel dead.


Nah, I'm just kidding that was all a lie.
I'm just so happy I felt like wearing a disguise.
Come dance with me, we can laugh and sing and fly.
And just forget that all of this is a lie.


'Cause I'm just so happy, 'cause nothing has gone wrong.
Yes I'm so happy, this is a happy song.
But yeah, not really. Everything's gone bad.
And because of this, I'm just really feeling sad.


'Cause there's still all those reasons that I said.
So, I go through the day but I still feel dead.


But I'm happy, yes I'm happy.
God I'm happy, oh so happy.
I'm so happy, 'swear I'm happy.
If you wondered, yes I'm happy.


Why would I lie? I'm so happy.
Hey did you hear that I'm happy?
Stop pretending that I'm happy?
I'm pretending that I'm happy...


But there's all of those reasons that I said...
Why, I'm so happy, so why would I feel dead?


Because I'm not happy you idiot. No, not you, the other guy. Yeah, me. I'm fine though, really. I swear. At least, I'm not as bad as I may make it out to be. So yeah.


You don't have to worry
About me.

Notbad

Well this was notbad at all, the vocals are cool and could be refined a tad more but it actually works with the backround ambient style tone, but besides all that this was pretty good stuff, and was Glad I found this one a good track indeed hope to hear more from you soon/

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
The vocals are decent but maybe more emotion at points.

~X~

artistunknown responds:

Yeah, I really should've re-recorded the vocals before uploading this. I felt like they were good enough at the time though but man I regretted it soon after. Ah well, like you said they're still decent, and I think they work well enough at least. I'll make sure the vocals are exactly how I want them on everything else I make from now on though.

Thanks!

Oh man. XD I love the lyrics, and the tone's just perfect too, but the flow otherwise... could be polished a bit! Still, most entertaining song I've heard in a while. Good job at least participating, no matter the lack of days! Seems the ones you did were actually pretty ambitious, as in really: complete songs. Good stuff.

-cd-

artistunknown responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean with the flow, I wasn't quite sure how to better transition between some parts, I was hoping it was good enough but I guess not, lesson learned for the future though. I think I learned a lot about songwriting at least just from experimenting during FAWM. At the very least I figured out how to write 2 minute songs consistently lol.

Yeah, I guess my FAWM songs were pretty ambitious looking back, though they really didn't take a lot of time, the instrumentals were all put together in a day and then another day or two was spent recording vocals and mixing, and there were definitely days when I was finishing multiple songs in a day, so I definitely could've finished FAWM if I had put more effort and hadn't gotten sick near the end lol.

Thanks!
