about

Paul F Cook and The Happy Somethings have collaborated on the single ‘Something Happy’, a 2½ minute slice of positive pop that aims to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

The acoustic version strips the song back to Joy’s unmistakable vocals, acoustic guitar and those lush harmonies.

lyrics

Something happy, something happy.
Something happy, something happy.

If you’re feeling negative,
nothing positive to give.
When you’re feeling down and out
without even the clout to shout that out.
When the colour’s all gone grey
or sepia just seeps its way through
all your memories
and it’s just not enough
and all you make is war not love,
you can always try thinking of

Something happy, something happy.
Something happy, something happy.
Something happy, something happy.
Something happy, something happy.

If you’re stuck and can’t let go,
don’t even want to say hello.
If your knees go weak at the thought
of all the steps that they still have to walk.
If your mood swings left from right
and counting lost sheep keeps you awake at night
and the push and shove just feels too tough
and you’re sick
of all the sickening stuff
you can always try thinking of

Something happy.
Think something happy.
