Happytune

This is a rather special song.Currently this is quite a rough draft, it needs some better mixing, but it’s good enough to show the basic idea. Anyhow, this song was written one weekend when I was surfing Soundcloud and found this very nice piece of music:

I really like the energy in this song and I wanted to create a happy song for once, and I did.. To begin with. 

When it was time to write the lyrics I was reading a lot about racism and got a bit irritated at that. The story I was reading about was around #jagarjason, a discussion taking place in Sweden on the subject. Anyway, I wasn’t in a happy mood when writing the lyrics so it became a not-so-happy tune..

Lyrics

I haven’t seen
much at all
I blend in
Not from that far
I have no reason 
not to feel
pleased and happy
’bout my deal
 
But then I think
about it all
What I see
from afar
people making their own rules
and think of racist morons too
 
This was to be an
happy tune
Can’t see no reason
too much to do
before we’re even
getting close
to being tolerant, good hosts 
 
Can’t all these idiots agree
on what it is that we all need
just some diversity and respect
will go a long way, end this pest
 
How do they think
if at all
the people judging 
fear to fall
Scared of anything
thats new
resisting progress
lead us to doom
 
Spreading their
insecurity
feeding hate
based on fear
as their narrow mind
can’t see
the beauty of 
our society
