"Happy Song" (Original)

[orin12345678]

I love this song. I recently listened to it again becuase I'm planning on buying a ukulele and so I went back and watched a bunch of your videos in which you play the uke. And I fell in love with this song again, it's so beautiful and now won't get out of my head (in a good way). I know nothing of music (which is why me getting a uke is strange and scarry) so I don't really know when the range is different etc. but obviously your voice is higher in this and I think it's lovely. :)

[TheHannaFactor]

love the john green poster in the background

"it's not my fault that my parent's own the world's largest collection of black santas

[TripleHTheBest78]

wtf are you doing ?? i mean, you should be in an arena for billions of people

[jessstarr09]

The fact that you and Matt are now married makes this that much more adorable!

[OhMyGoshCookies97]

When you said he still gives you butterflies it was so cute! :3

[bubbafinerty]

*faints*omg!!

[Jeerka]

[SchmelzerFanClub]

[sunnyday198]

[napedogg30]

Holy God it burns my ears!!!

[mkonjibhu123234345]

@napedogg30

asshole... lets c u do better



[Aniyma]

awesomeness and great voice ^^ very natural and all XD

[onlyjason94]

you have veri nie voice...like it..;)



[totilsom]

Im sure Matt is doing all kinds of pussy right now..

[aimeelikescheese]

Do you think you're going to record this for a CD? After The Prince's Tale comes out, obviously, but this is a song I'd love to have on my iPod, it's wonderful! :)

[OxxOMNOMNOMxxO]

I'm so jelous... No matter how hard I try I can't write one happy song :( ur so lucky

[Futuredudeman]

Oh man, I totally forgot about all the index cards. Do you still have them?

I've always really liked this song, and it's still really good, but comparing this to your latest Prince's Tale stuff really shows how much work you've put into making really significant improvements. Rightfully so, Prince's Tale is the focus for now, but I'm still excited to see what you'll be able to do with this song when it's time to put it on an album.

[lithium123ify]

luv this!

[Angisinwonderland]

whats the strumming pattern for this ? is it dduudu ?

[ABL36]

fagget..

[nerdfightersky]

Lauren, you're amazing (:

[NoJustMe2]

WOW!

You and your voice is beatiful!!

[LordRumaj]

[KnifeNut88]

[LzN16]

you really should smile a lot more :)

greetings,

odin

[gkriebz]

Also, is there anywhere I can download this? I'd love to legally own it, one of those songs you can just put on when you're sad and smile. Love to have it!

[devilishlypure]

@gkriebz Unfortunately, I haven't recorded it so I don't have anything to give you. It won't be on my next album, but once that is finished I'll be working on one that will include this song. So hopefully in the next year or so!

[rockinassassin]

@gkriebz w w w keepvid dot com. It won't let me put the link in the comment, but you can download the vid with that.

[gkriebz]

This is such a good song, it's adorable and sweet and makes me smile. This and For Matt are constantly stuck in my head :)

[XxXBlackOrderXxX]

you have a really pretty voice :3 i feel happy now :D

[bladegamer15]

nice i like it

[InfohubMe]

You seem like the type of person who'd have a deviant art account. Just sayin'. Nothing wrong with that or anything... again, just saying.

Anyway: Found your video by stumbling around watching all the countless tributes of Liam Lynch's "Happy Song". Saw the thumbnail and thought "Oh neat, somebody is actually going to do a cover" and while my expectation was incorrect, it was still a pleasant little song. So, kudos to you :D

[Ntin63]

This is going to be my Summer happy song :)

[cheatfuse]

That was awesome! ^_^

[IDreamOf98]

Oh, this makes me so happy! Seeing you this happy makes me happy, and I don't even know you... although I feel like I do; I've been in love with your videos for years. So I kind of have this one sided friendship with you. And I saw you once in concert and I wanted to hug you, but I was too nervous.

But I digress.

You are amazing and you deserve to be this happy and I'm so glad you've got Matt. <3

[whocares1920]

Adorable song, beautiful voice xD

Very nice ^_^

[mvanlvr]

LOVE THIS

[namesuck4999]

awesome!!

[greylake7]

You have a very good voice!

However, i think that if u plan on taking it farther, it would be wise to get some lessons to strengthen ur voice. Great job, keep it up

[amberyvonne13]

well i love it.! :)

[ScreamLikeABoy1]

[monkeyaround92]

[NeoReptiliac]

Great lyrics and music, but your voice needs work v.v sorry for being cruely blunt.

[GrahamCrakerHead]

@Afranco0408 shut up. If you dint like the video, simply don't watch it!

You rock Lauren!

[carolynkids]

@GrahamCrakerHead how bout u shut ur trap he or she is right

[Afranco0408]

CRAP!!! seriously...you are disgustingly horrible....do not leave your job for music! take a dick in your mouth!

[sandropan]

very nice song

[elpinkera]

[jopoh007]

The "tutudutudetututudetut" - part is my favorite :)

The smile at the end is almost as beautiful as the song itself :D

[Appledude500]

go smash that little shit against the wall....

[hpgirl1214]

Wow that was amazing! Lauren you such an inspirational person and this song is beautiful. Every time one of your videos come up in my subscription box I smile. I just don't understand why your not on the radio yet. You're awesome!

[devilishlypure]

@hpgirl1214 Aw, thank you! I think I need to be on a major record label to get on the radio, and I have no intention of doing that.

[jaipskd100]

@devilishlypure I think DFTBA records totally counts ;)

[maestrodesipalki]

esuna puta con uculele

[kkjhhkjhkj]

I am never coming to this youtube page again. This has been one of the most disturbing 30 seconds of my life.

[devilishlypure]

@kkjhhkjhkj Thanks!

[ruithael]

@devilishlypure Looks like you and Lena didn't need a body guard after all! The assholes just sort of run away. Did you cast a Patronus I didn't see somewhere during the song?

[LilSophi42]

@kkjhhkjhkj Then dont come back. Shes pretty awesome.

[kkjhhkjhkj]

@LilSophi42 Pretty ugly too!

[orin12345678]

this came up in my "recommended foy you" box and made me happy :)

[Victoriavampchick]

u r amazing keep singing

[KnivesMonroe]

I feel this way.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for this song.

Even after 6 months since I heard it. It just means more!

Who can be sad while hearing this?

[zoronotzolo]

LOL, I can see the Paper Towns joke in the background! xD

[amyonech]

:) I love this

[c33569]

i love this!

[LeftyHandedGuns]

I know sometimes the commenters ask questions that you might think are obvious (it is always wise to check the description before commenting) but I still feel the need to say that you shouldn't be so rude to them.

[graygray67r1]

Lucky Matt

[eDwinzhithO]

oh my godd!!! goodd!! god bless youuu !! girl beatiful ♥

[eDwinzhithO]

oh my godd!!! goodd!! god bless youuu !! girl beatiful ♥

[arsinoja10]

you lok so scary ;o

[themusicismylife2011]

this is a super cute song =] your happiness is contagious!

[Kantobobi]

i sank a panda with a bowl of leaves beside two jumpy balloons. don't give left hand markers to great big grape platoons.

[bworthingtonhvac]

i like pickles and this song so i like this alot!!!

[dinamikq]

cute :)

[pickledfruit]

Is the strumming pattern just up, down, up, down?

[devilishlypure]

@pickledfruit I don't know, can you tell from looking at the video?

[pickledfruit]

Well, I tried but since I cant really see the ukulele and I'm not that great with my sounds its difficult for me...

[LeftyHandedGuns]

@devilishlypure Being unnecessarily rude to people who've not meant you any harm is just a shitty way to be.

[devilishlypure]

@LeftyHandedGuns I don't understand how to write out strumming patterns. Whenever people ask me for them, I can't help. The way I learn is from watching people play them and mimicking the motions. If suggesting my technique to someone who is interested in learning it is rude, I'm not sure what to tell you.

[LeftyHandedGuns]

@devilishlypure See, that whole thing you just wrote is not at all portrayed in what you wrote the first time to that person. What you wrote to him/her just made you look like you were mocking them/saying it was obvious.

And honestly, I have witnessed this snippiness before and I just didn't say anything, but after a point you do it too often.

That's all.

[pickledfruit]

Does anyone what chords she used? : )

[devilishlypure]

I used the chords that are linked in the video description where it says "the lyrics and chords are on my new website here". Who are you asking?

[pickledfruit]

Oh! Right! Sorry, I guess I should have looked there in the first place...haha, I was asking your audience, I didn't think you would have time to respond. : )

[cizzoreal]

ha ha this is brilliant!!! ireland loves you ha ha

[cfed068]

this is adorable :)

[Rackskrech]

Awsome :j

[4vamplover]

nerd

[megahappypinkskitty]

@4vamplover you say that like its a bad thing

[XLuucyx]

I know right! :D Shes just jealous because this girl has TALENT :D

[hptwilighter]

*nerdFIGHTER actually.

[thephantombutterfly6]

i looove this song, it's wonderful =D

also, your voice has matured so much! it was good to start with but now it's amazing!

[meorksprite]

I legitimately smiled through this whole video. You're brave, and I really admire you.

[leesgreatmorgansgay]

itunes????

[brayat842]

i really like this but might i suggest playing up strokes like in ska music? it might fit style better. still really good though

[freckles910]

Aww, this is so cute (:

your really good

[b0rn0nstag3]

thats adorable!!!

[Medea37]

Lauren you are amazing. Ann Coulter was about to make me kill someone, but watching this made the murderous sentiments vanish. Much love to you and Matt alike. =)

[KnivesMonroe]

I really needed this. =) Thank you.

[dbline23]

i needed this today haha thanks :)

[kkupcakee]

[Watchmehrock]

[DRmayybee]

Makes me happy

Thanks

[whatawittyusername]

I was listening to Gold Motel recently and I realized that Greta's voice reminds me of yours :) I think you should cover The Hush Sound.

[kmillz110]

I could have sworn your uke said 'Obama' at the top. lmao. what kind of ukulele is it?a soprano or a concert?

I really love the songg :)

[devilishlypure]

It's an Ohana soprano!

[kmillz110]

It's gorgeous! :)

[d0bbyr0cksmys0cks]

Aw <3 This is such a cute song =)

[djdude2828]

Great voice!! Do you have any tips on how to write happier songs? I'm trying to stay out of the "love" aspect with this one, to break out of the box with my writing. Subscribed ;D

[ruth7784]

Excellent! :-) X

[flyingpigs1197]

This is one of my very favorite songs of yours. It's really cute, and you can tell that you really mean it. it makes me smile, and I am glad you are happy.

[Sharotastic]

Lauren I love this song!!!

[Robocheeseball701]

For some reason, this sounds like SweetAfton's Road Trip to me.

[Seaton6017]

It's similar ukulele chords.

[Robocheeseball701]

@Seaton6017

Thanks, person with music education!

[Seaton6017]

Haha! Your welcome! I'm glad that all my music study has not been in vain.

[agos031]

This song is beatiful.

I wish i knew how to play guitar just so I could play your songs.

[mattieiscool78]

P.S Congratulations with you and Matt. Hope it goes on and on.

[griffiegrrltkd]

[cocolovesHP]

Lauren, this is beautiful, both in the sence of how it sounds, and the lyrics. i find it very touching. your voice sounds so happy and light in this song. i just want to stop writing my paper and get up and dance-making this a truly happy song for the listener! Congrats to you and Matt. I am so happy for you both and want you both to know i love you and the musical art you create! you give me hope that someday ill find someone who will inspire me to write happy songs :)

[softblackcarbon]

Wow Lauren. That was great! I really enjoyed that. Great song!

[SauLonchic]

Lauren that was really beautiful. Great job, it brought a huge smile to my face.

[treydaddyman]

Positively inspiring. Thank you for sharing your happiness with us. :0)

[Stephazor]

cute! (: this totally made me smile.

and i know how you feel, haha

[ordinaryface]

whatever happened to you getting an electric guitar.... a green one, or did i imagine that?

[devilishlypure]

I got it a long time ago and have since used it in my "Screening Process" and "Outside World" videos.

[partyweetow]

Aw this is so cute!  And good! You're such an awesome person, Lauren. :)

[OMJitsohmyjasper]

Awesome!!!! :Dftba

[XxDawlishxX]

Lauren youuuuu are amazing.

Matt issss amazing.

You guys<3

[bouncyangel]

I LOVE this so much.

[bevinkathryn]

Wow. I thought I loved your voice before, but this range REALLY suits you! It's beautiful. :D This possibly just stole first for my favourite song of yours. :)

[IcePr1ncess98]

aww how sweet! with your new ukulele I see :D

[devilishlypure]

It's not really new, I bought it last February and have used it in a bunch of videos since then. :)

If you're referring to the custom fluke I've been talking about on twitter, that hasn't come in yet. I am impatient, haha.

[IcePr1ncess98]

wait-nevermind-I was watching your videos in the wrong order...I was watching the one with you and lena getting them yesterday so..oops!

[devilishlypure]

Haha! In that case, the ukulele in that video was bought in May 2008. So the one in this video is very new compared to that one!

[gottaxluvxvamps]

This so cute and adorable. I was smiling the whole way through =]

[abcdefghijkati3]

I love this song! I think it'll sound freaking amazingly awesome once you have more time to practice it and get all the notes and transitions down smoother. I love how it sounds now too, but I mean, it has even more potential for super awesomeness in the future! I love the words and melody and your high notes and it is wonderfulllllllllllllllll. ;D

Thanks for sharing it with us and happy day to you and Matt!

[RhianonLives]

Great song :D:D haha your hoodie looks so slytherin.

[Marissa1r2ss]

Precious =) Love it!

Yeah and like Kaitlyn said, breath support & transitioning are 2 of the hardest things for any singer. Another way it's been explained to me is that you breath all the way to your stomach, fill that up first, & then use that air to tighten your diaphragm. My voice teacher had me make a fist to push on his diaphragm while he was singing, and he could actually push out against it, while maintaining a good tone. It was crazy, and I still can't do it...lol. But yeah. Good Luck!

[TheOrangeDream]

Aww, congratulations to both of you! :D

[imperfectcadences]

You sound SO PRETTY in this range! I mean, well, you sound pretty all the time, but oh my goodness, that was pretty. :D Beautiful song. You're really lucky.
