SONG PICK: girlhouse – happy now
“happy now” is a song about the elusive pursuit of happiness. Singer/songwriter Lauren Luiz aka girlhouse probably knows a thing or two about this as her music and acting career has led her in many directions and to many places. Lauren recalls how the honest indie rock changed its meaning:
“‘happy now’ started as an angry poem towards someone in my life that was really emotionally challenging to me, but as we started producing it and I started looking at the lyrics from a different perspective, I realized I was projecting everything I hated about myself towards this other person. ‘happy now’ is my heart, gladiator screaming “are you not entertained?!” to my body after doing all the things and following all the people that should, in theory, make me happy but in the end left me feeling empty.”
