Simple Song of Happiness

Pretty much exactly what it says...melodies, lyrics, guitar and vocals by me, all else by Luke Whittall.

Sometimes soft and melancholy, sometimes not..
I'm a a singer/songwriter originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I've tinkered with many instruments but pretty much stick to piano and guitar. I've been a member here at Soundclick for about 20 years now, I have met some incredible people from all over the world. I have collaborated with a lot of different musicians in my time here, but most notably I have been working quite closely with Juri Rosenfeld aka Grand Jury. Juri is an utterly amazing composer, musician, arranger, producer from Finland. And I am thrilled to be working with him. Very often the lyricist for these songs is Dawn Sinclair an extremely talented and prolific writer from England. From time to time I have worked with other artists as well, most of whom I have met here on Soundclick. Another SC member, Tom Moore and I have worked closely together on many projects as well, including a 17 song Christmas CD. I absolutely love musical collaboration but have recently been trying to focus on completing some more of my own original compositions. Also check out the band Fractured Beauty, here on Soundclick another collaboration project featuring the talents of Bob Kingdon and others with a psychedelic vibe.

Story behind the song
I write best when I am sad. I think most of us are that way, so I decided to do something different for a change.
Lyrics
So here I am writing simple songs of happiness and that is simply not my style. There is no me oh my, no weighted tears of solitude only a peaceful, gentle smile. I've taken minor chords and chancged them all to major put tears away for just a while so move now, back and forth. Lay it all out on the table. Dismiss your fears in single file. Chorus So now I'll take my time, to sing this song and I dare the sun to set there's only room for laughing eyes and challenges I've met. Maybe tomorrow I'll just break down and cry but not today becuase I just don't have the time. You've gotta ask yourself what the point of being glum is when energy is better spent. I may be sickly sweet but I know the way I'm feeling I have no reason to repent So open up your eyes, allow the light to shine in. Listen once more before you go and always hold with you my simple song of happiness make sure those tear stains never show. Repeat chorus.
