Melody Federer and alt-rock darling Big Data join forces for new song "Happy?"
QUIRKY AND ENIGMATIC SINGER-SONGWRITER MELODY FEDERER
AND ALT-ROCK DARLING BIG DATA
JOIN FORCES FOR NEW SONG “HAPPY?”
“Happy?” The new song by Melody Federer and Big Data is out on DSPs today.
“Could it be I’m happy?” Federer sings. Her voice intertwines with Big Data’s upbeat piano and bouncy synths. Throughout the song she becomes aware of the chaotic beauty of the world around her, feeling a sudden surge of life, yet left with a wave of anxiety - a familiar companion for many that often shadows the brief, elusive sensation of happiness.
“I remember feeling so depressed one day, just one of those days of despair,” reflects Federer. I went on a walk and noticed a pink tree. A PINK tree! I was suddenly reminded that we’re floating around on a giant rock in space and that it’s all sort of a wild miracle- being alive. And even in moments of darkness if you can remember the really big picture, it can help.”
