Little Theme Song
Little Theme Song is an early song in Happy’s renaissance. It’s for a story he never finished, about a guy who found a theme song in Argentina. Why Argentina? That’s precisely why he never finished the story.
More musical theater than pop, with an improvised solo that cuts into the ending.
Piano, vocal, bass guitar. The full story, including the years he spent away from the piano, comes with the score.
Find a singer. Call a bassist. Hammer out the chords. Improvise. Picture a young man in a dark place breaking into song under the leafy trees of Palermo Hollywood. That’s a real place in case you were wondering.
Love On
A few dads in American suburbia were texting each other 1980s power ballads. This is what dads do between rounds of carpooling. Ballading? Powering? You get the idea. To Happy, this felt like being told send the love — or love on. The song begins there.
It doesn’t end there. Somewhere in the middle it stops being an homage and becomes an honest reckoning, and by the end the blues has taken over the whole thing.
Piano, two singers, bass guitar. The full story — including the part with the litter box — comes with the score.
