I wrote this song when i lived at 22 ludlow street behind the Rivington hotel, it was awful, I felt out of place, few things were going right and I was watching lots of movies and attempting as a writing exercise to condense some of the films into song. This song is about the film Gigantic starring Zooey Deschanel and Paul Dano. I originally thought i would make a full album titled A life in Pictures which is the name of a documentary about Stanely Kubrick but it turned out that the songs were all too varied in style to fit together in one collection.
lyrics
Happy seldom tells the truth,happy pushes on the strangest questions at the strangest times, the first time we met, happy slipped into a lucid dream, woke up and looked straight into me. Babies in the mail and she's freaking out, babies in the mail and she's terrified , no one ever wants to ever say it but this feelings gigantic we're all terrified, terrified of what we don't know. Happy's father spine is in his mind happy's father's spine is in his mind and he knows that all your finest fears follow you home, i fear myself so i carry a knife, I'm the hunter, strange younger brother, mystery stalker, babies in the mail and she's freaking out, babies in the mail and she's terrified no one wants to ever say it but this feelings gigantic we're all terrified of what we don't know.
