Work in Progress. This is a kind of Beatles-eque song. I'm working on the lyrics which will determine the final arrangement. I'm also not sure about the synthy part that's going to be the vocal line when I have words. I may keep it or nix it.

Story behind the song
I didn't start off trying to make something sound beatles-esque... but to my ears I wound up going in that direction. I make no claim at sounding anything near as good or entertaining as the real deal. The title was just something that came to mind after listening to what I had done. I like the absurdity of the idea of a pesimist being "happy"... so this song will eventually be about realising how good things are by being able to see how much worse they could be... or perhaps the joy at knowing that things can't get any worse. I'm still not sure which angle to take. I'll keep you posted.
