Hello everyone.
This song is a joint project with my friend Halya from Ukraine.
The song is about the sad everyday life of most people.
And about the fact that everyone wishes for happiness but does not realize it.
Because happiness is not something you can own.
You have to recognize it and feel it.

Listen to HAPPINESS

The song is played entirely by BiaB 2021.
Only the vocals have been additionally recorded.
The english is definitely not the best,
but it is much easier to write a usable song in english than in german ;-)

We hope you like the song.
BiaB is definitely the most extraordinary program I have ever used.
see you soon
Andi ;-)

Nice UP song...the chorus is a little punk/new wave...the 1st verse was slightly Country - mainly the vocal.
Cool.


Cheers
