Matt Maeson - Get Happy (Official Audio)

[@MattMaeson]

I started this from scratch with different people and different production 3 different times and they were all good in their own way but it never really felt like it had found it’s DNA until, after sitting on it for 2 years, my friend Owen Lewis and I went into the studio and live tracked it with a 5 piece band and it came together immediately. Who knew all it needed was 6 dudes in a room jamming for a few hours. Thank you so much to every person involved in the making of this record all along the way. Hope y’all enjoy, hope it makes you happy or sad or angry or whatever it may be, I hope it makes you feel something.

"Get Happy" My mama said You're gonna drink it till you're dead But I need it now More than I ever really did I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead My mama cried Almost every single night And I dug the dirt Till every party of me was hurt I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead I can't wait till tomorrow I can't wait till tomorrow I can't wait till tomorrow Oh, I can't wait till tomorrow I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead

Damn. Getting discharged from hospital tomorrow after checking myself in for alcohol abuse, been terrified of having a panic attack/relapsing when I get home. Holy fuck a song hasn't hit my soul so hard. Almost induced a panic attack, like the fucking song was written for me. Great song, Matt. Your songs touch lives, I mean that.

Wow. I seriously just clicked on this song because I am obsessed with his other songs and I really like this song as well. I am so glad I found him. He is such a good artist.

I love this song so much!

[@pineapples._.7545]

Hey Matt!! Not sure if your going to be seeing this but your ability to make music that hits so deeply with raw emotion and power has seriously helped me through the darkest time in my life... I can't express how much you've helped me not only get through tough times with putting out songs that I can so closely relate to and really think about, but you have given me the motivation to start making my own music that allows me to express myself in any given way. You seriously have changed my life and many more... Thank you.

[@VanessaMauricio-v3s]

I cannot express what your music has done for me.. ive delt with alot of dark shit in my life , still am .. but music like this , like his, truly has a way of guiding a soul like my own.. i cant wait till i save uo enough to go see him perform live in person . Who knows maybe ill hear one or two that saved my life . Genuinely, thank you for your passion.

Matt Maeson has the most amazing old soul for his young body. He is truly one of the most gifted lyricists alive! I hold him in the same all-time class with Jack White and Chris Cornell. His music is beloved by both myself and my young son. Thank you Matt and crew for making us feel....

[@hjjk-jg7uo]

You're brilliant ❤❤ love, love, love this. On repeat.

[@veraliana]

This song is definitely making me feel a lot. Sadness. Awe. It is a work of art and there is a lot to unpack here. Getting happy instead of giving into suicidal ideation, but here "getting happy" is a metaphor for drink (or any other sort of unhealthy coping mechanism). And the discordant and intense undertones in the music paired with Matt's emotional vocals all saying he's not happy, but actually quite bitter. I feel like I can close my eyes and see a story in this song, and I can feel that bitterness and sadness and frustration. I love it. I can relate. It's why I love your music. It's amazing.

[@krel7160]

The bitterness takes it a step further, because "I'll just 'Get Happy' instead" could sound like a scoffed remark in response to someone telling the singer to suck it up, or that they need to get over themselves. Why are you upset? Just make yourself happy!

[@lupusmalum6103]

I was more under the impression that "he's" mocking other's advice for him. If you've ever been ACTUALLY diagnosed with depression some folks don't understand what that actually means and will say things like "you just need to have a better outlook", "have a better attitude", "why not just be happy?" So he's basically saying in response to that advice "yeah I'll just 'get happy' 'like you said'. I can't wait till tomorrow so I'm sure just suddenly 'getting happy' will be the immediate fix." Using sarcasm to illustrate how much harder it is to cope and feel better than some folks think.

[@veraliana]

​@@lupusmalum6103 After reading your comment and listening to it again, I think you're right. It's bitter either way, but I think the story here is drinking to escape your problems and being told something along the lines of "that's not the way. you need to xyz to be happier" and then being bitter about it and mocking about such clueless, useless advice because just "getting happy" is not that simple. But definitely mocking the people who say stuff like "just cheer up"
