“Then only for a minute, I want to change my mind, ‘Cause this just don’t feel right, I wanna raise your spirits, I want to see you smile but, I know that means I’ll have to leave...” On my car ride to work that song, ‘Happier’ - Marshmellow song came on. I never really listened to the lyrics and this song is actually really sad but masked by uplifting EDM vibes to hide the underlying sad tone.
When Bastille sent me ‘Happier’ for the first time I was taken aback. The amount of emotion that you could feel in the lyrics was crazy. As I listened to the song more and more it reminded me of so many things I’ve been through in my life. Toxic relationships, letting go of things I didn’t want to and just situations where happiness came with a price. Recently I lost my dog which was really hard for me. I wanted the video to embrace the pain that we feel losing someone close to us and the cycle of life. This is what made me happier.

It’s almost like the apocalypse is happening outside but, for a minute, shutting the curtains to that and enjoying what you’ve got for a second, which I think is a completely valid and sane thing to do.
