Happy People
(c) 2016 D. Greenway & E. Kocol
 
V1
I watched you from a distance, you barely caught my stare
And then in an instance, you answered my prayer
 
Prechorus
And when I look around I see all the faces smiling back at me
 
Ch
Look at all the happy people
Runnin' round and having fun
look at all the happy people
And you know I'll be one too
Just as soon as I'm alone with you, alone with you
 
V2
So the moment was right this time, I approached you with care
You were kind and polite this time, your beauty beyond compare
 
Prech
Ch
 
Middle bit
I used to walk the streets at night
You could say I was a lonely guy
I don't walk the streets anymore
Ever since you walked through that door

V3
Now we are together, two souls as one
Happy people forever - running round and having fun
 
Prech
Ch to end

Nice job Guys! 
 
The song made me happy by looking at all the happy people - so seems to me - I'd have to give it a thumbs up -- Mix was nice and balanced too 
 
The only critique I would have is the processed electronic vocals - especially in the backing harmonies - sound Mr Roboto Styx on Steroids a bit 
 
but what do I know. Its a nice song and good job. Sounds like something REM would have done

How can you and Pharell not be "happy" when you both wear big hats?

I love this song, you guys have a way with the "middle bits" that always works perfectly and the chorus is super. Great mix, great sound!
