Extra drowsy Formula

Here is a song called “Happy.” I’d like to call it an experiment in repetition — “can you really take a single riff and repeat it over and over again for a whole song?” — but the truth is there wasn’t that much forethought involved. I made the 4-chord keyboard riff, looped it, and never got around to expanding it. The song is under two minutes, so…*shrug*

I don’t remember where the lyrics came from but I’m pretty sure I wrote them after writing the music. It’s weird — it feels like the kind of song that should have some sort of story or confession behind it, but it does not.

Instruments used: Kawai keyboard, Alesis SR-16, toy piano. Vocals are double-tracked — sung twice — and then one is panned a little to the left and the other a little to the right.
