time for a little musical interlude

[sirensong]

so i wrote a song not long after i left byu that explained my thoughts at the time. you see, i didn't fit in very well - goth-lite girls with guitars and ideas and demons... well, yeah... i was the odd chick who shuffled along to my own crazy beat, but who desperately wished she fit in just a little more than she did... anyway, this little ditty was born out of that...

the beast is playing all the instruments and arranged the whole thing... and he put together the video from images we compiled. he's freakin' brilliant, i tell you... that is me singing poorly... hope you enjoy...

happy valley

there's a place out west where the living is fine
the sun is always out and it's guaranteed to shine
the folks are always happy and their babies never cry
the kids do what their parents say and never question why

the air's so thick with love you can cut it with a knife
young couples gettin' married looking forward to their lives
he'll finish school and get a job no matter what it takes
so his wife can stay at home to sew and clean and bake

oh, to be in happy valley
oh, to live in that fair land
oh, to be in happy valley
i can't imagine life so grand...

soon i'll move to happy valley to live out all my days
and spend the time that i have left reforming my wild ways
or maybe i'll spread wickedness to all those in the land
then i'll turn happy valley into the village of the damned

oh, to be in happy valley
oh, to live in that square land
oh, to be in happy valley
i can't imagine life so bland

do you really want to be in happy valley?

do you really want to be in happy valley?

oh, to be in happy valley...

i can't imagine life so bland...
