Happy
Song: Happy
Artist: Michael Jackson
As of right now, I'm feeling quite hopeful and optimistic about having a good month. That doesn't mean it won't be filled with bad days, hard conversations and probably lots of tears but, each of those parts are necessary for me to get to where I ultimately want and need to be. Happy.
I actually just listened to this song for the first time ever on my walk yesterday. It immediately made my heart feel happy and brought a peace that was desperately needed. The day before yesterday was a really hard, really bad day. I was at one of the lowest points on my roller-coaster of mental health. I was so sad, so angry, so lonely, so miserable. I felt stuck and abandoned. This song, warmed my heart. It made me feel light, after a night of feeling so heavy I was drowning in a black lake of misery. It brought me back into the sun. It was a light in the darkness of my life.
One of the reasons this song struck me with such emotion and feelings of joy and gladness was because of the way young Michael Jackson sang this song. He was singing it with feeling. He sang from his heart and it came across as joy and happiness. His voice seemed truly angelic to me in that moment. And the terrible irony here is that, I know Michael's life was not always very joyful and happy. Even from a young and tender age, he was denied many of the simple joys and pleasures most children enjoy. He was forced into an industry and a life that was no longer quite his own and never would be again. But Michael was somehow able to convey such a brilliantly passionate song about happiness! That makes the listener feel. Michael Jackson truly was unlike any entertainer who ever lived. He was made to perform, to entertain and change people's lives. He had to sacrifice a lot in his life in order to do what he was meant to do, but man. Aren't we all thankful for that? I know I am.
I know my Month of Michael tribute ended yesterday. But I just had to share this beautiful song that touched me so deeply. And thank Michael, once again, for sharing his incredible gifts and talents with the world. And with me. I love you.
My life began when Happy smiled
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Till now
Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy
happy oh yeah Happy

Sadness had been close as my next of kin
Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lamb was I, till you came in
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lamb was I, till you came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)

Let Sadness see what Happy does

Till now
Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy
happy oh yeah Happy
