My cover/re-interpretation of the song 'Happiness', from Goldfrapp's. 4th album, Seventh Tree.
melodic
vocal harmonies
bouncy pop
Story behind the song
I've always enjoyed the variety of Goldfrapp's music. This is from their 4th album, Seventh Tree. A big change of direction from their two previous albums... Black Cherry and Supernature.
Seventh Tree is what some might call, 'Pastoral Psychedelia...well, call it what you will ... it's a fabulous album. For the brass ensemble on the 2nd instrumental break, I used the same trick that the Beatles did on Lady Madonna ... I made the sounds with my mouth and added a little reverb and chorus. It sounds quite good.
Lyrics
Happiness by Goldfrapp (2008)
Join our group and you will find,
harmony and peace of mind.
... make you better,
we're here to welcome you ...
We're all on a journey too,
finding the real inner you.
... make you better, (make you better)
We're here to welcome you ...
Time stops still when you've lost love ... love ...
Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness
how'd you get to find love, real love
Love love love ...
... [ short instrumental break ] ... (we're here to welcome you)
Floating in the magic world,
donate all your money.
We'll make it better (make it better)
we're here to welcome you ...
Time, stops still when you've lost love ... love ...
Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness
How'd you get to find love, real love
Love love love ...
... [ David's 'Brass Humana' instrumental break ] :-)
(we're here to welcome you)
We'll be swimming in the sea of wisdom and serenity
Make you better,
Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness
How'd you get to find love, real love
Love love love ...
Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness
How'd you get to find love, real love
Love love love ...
Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness
How'd you get to find love, real love
Love love love ...
Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness
How'd you get to find love, real love
Love love love ...
... guitar instrumental and gradual fade-out ...
