A Song that makes me Happy
Mutiny I Promise You by The New Pornographers. From the album Challengers.
Listen to this song and watch the film clip. If you have not smiled, whether on the inside or out – then you need to go back to your small country hometown, meet Natalie Portman and turn into a happy person (If you don’t get that then watch the movie Garden State). If you don’t do this your children will eat cardboard for breakfast because they, like you, are boring.
The first time I heard it I was miserable. I was in my office at 1am writing an assignment that was due 8 hours later. The office was quiet, empty, lonely and cold and I was really tired. I somehow stumbled across the song on youtube and my mood was transformed. Because I was happier I became more productive which meant that I ended up getting out of there at 3am instead of 4 or 5. So I seem to owe a few valuable hours of sleep to this song it would seem 
The reason I think I this song makes me so happy is its energy. It has so much that matter how crabby I am it can always recharge my happy batteries. There are other ways of doing this – like rolling in grass clippings or popping bubble wr… hmmm, maybe that’s just me. Another reason I like it so much is that it takes something horrible – mutiny and makes it cheerful. not only that but the clip is also hilarious! Whats not to love?
Anyway, this song, at least for me, is a happy song. I hope it is for you too!
