about

Casual Happiness was initially written and recorded as an exercise for improving my studio skills - eventually it became a tribute to Sheffield, my time spent there and the people I met.

lyrics

Casual Happiness,
Can never last.
It comes and goes,
So fast.
But that's okay,
'Coz if you don't really feel it you can try again another day.
With that in mind,
Let's leave all our worries behind.

Casual Happiness,
You'll never be left alone.
Casual Happiness,
Just pick up the phone.

We watch as the sun goes down,
Under bleeding skies.
I can see from the corner of mine,
That you've got tears in your eyes.
There's nothing quite like the time that we had,
And I'm so thankful I can call you my friend.
And even though it's over for now,
You know it isn't really the end.

Casual Happiness,
You'll never be left alone.
Casual Happiness,
Just pick up the phone.

It's a rarity - for sure,
To feel this loved.
But we all must get it somehow,
That we sure give it back enough.
They'll look after each other,
Just make sure that you look after yourself.
Why would we go anywhere different,
Why would we wanna be anywhere else?

Casual Happiness,
You'll never be left alone.
Casual Happiness,
It's where I belong.
