about

We were listening to Edwyn Collins in session on Marc Riley's 6 Music show. While talking in between tracks, Edwyn's wonderful laugh rang out.
By the next morning, this song was written.

lyrics

Against the scene so humdrum
Postcards from a tenement flat
Rallying against the boredom
A rebellion dressed in plaid

A pin-up like no other
In a Davey Crocket hat
A fringe like Roger McGuinn’s
And an unmistakable laugh

This is the sound of happiness
This is the sound of happiness
Yes, Yes, Yes!

Music like a melting pot
Making Velvets so Chic
I can’t hide my love for a moment
Those songs are part of me

Now we’re both much older
So many years have past
He doesn’t wear that hat anymore
But he still has that laugh

This is the sound of happiness
This is the sound of happiness

The possibilities are endless
Words that ring so true
When Edwyn laughs I raise a glass
There’s never been a boy like you

Happiness. This is the sound of happiness
This is the sound of happiness
This is the sound of happiness
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes!
