Happy Song - Commentary Bring Me The Horizon

Track two: "Happy Song." The phrase "that's the spirit" came to me when I heard it being used, probably on TV or a movie or summat, and I thought about how ironically bleak that sentiment is. It's really only used by people when they have no idea what to say - there's no answer, no solution. The only thing you can say is just get on with it, and that's what "Happy Song" is all about. It's about making light out of a shitty situation. I reckon we all get the impression to some extent, I'm pretty confident in saying, that we all have so many problems in the world, so many problems, and we really need to, probably, address them, and be honest about them but instead we choose to ignore them, [?] trivial or superficial. [?] in that, myself included. And how I see it is if we don't laugh we'll cry, so let's have some fun at the fact that we're all fucked.
