about

Happier Happyless is a sour and sweet song, tackling subjects of pining, happiness and revenge. Having a fittingly slower pace than former Spunsugar singles, this song is also an homage to the shunned 2001 slasher movie Valentine, released a little too late in the post-Scream era. Written with the aim to have “a memorable hook, a thumping synth bass line and a gazey chorus” this is a good introduction to the bands debut album, because of the constant switching of emotional tonality.

lyrics

Think loud
When they’re all turning on me All lies
Piling up around me
And I
Can feel a change of weather They can’t
Count on me forever
Five things
That made me think that I was Happy
Catch them again I promise Wonders
They’re all around us though I Don’t care
I’m not at all that doe-eyed
You said
Not now but maybe later
I learned
That there is nothing greater Than the
Feeling of rejection
Not my
High school dance perfection
Turns out I’m the worst of them
Cut open the skies
Turns out I’m the worst of all of them And tell the worst of lies
Happiness brings treacherous things
I tear down walls Sobering thoughts harder caught
when those walls fall Bigger holes
Then ever before Will eat all of me
That’s how I know As I’ve been told That I will rather be
Tender
I wouldn’t know what to feel
Four girls
Who wondered what was my deal What is
I could ask the same thing
What does
A big great smile really bring
In morgues
Or in a gymnasium
Big diff
They’ll be in mausoleums
Me too
But I will be here longer
Til then
I’ll show them I’ve grown stronger
Turns out I’m the worst of them Turns out I’m the one
Turns out I’m the worst of all of them Turns out that I’ll become
Happiness brings treacherous things
I tear down walls Sobering thoughts harder caught
when those walls fall Bigger holes
Then ever before Will eat all of me That’s how I know As I’ve been told That I will rather be
Happier Happyless x​∞

about

Spunsugar image

Spunsugar Malmö, Sweden

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound. ... more
