| Pharrell Williams 'Happy" |
Anyone who knows me well, will know my musical taste is ‘interesting’. So, it is rather strange for me to blog about something that is musically cool, urban and dare I say it, current.
And don’t worry (Laura) I haven’t lost my taste for Wham, I just came across something on t’internet today about Pharrell Williams (he sings songs for those living in the same dark corner of 80s and 90s music as I normally do) and his song ‘Happy’.
Pharrell made a 24-hour-long video for ‘Happy’, featuring lots of different people just bopping along the streets of LA (I’ve just made it uncool haven’t I? Can I use the word ‘bopping’ without a free bus pass?)
As much as I like the song (http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/pharrell-williams/videos/happy/), it’s the words that inspired today’s blog…
“Clap along if you know what happiness is to you..”
Clapping along as I am - on my own, in the kitchen, currently with no music playing at all - here’s what made me happy in the past 24 hours:
- Picking Erin up from nursery yesterday to see her showing three of the nursery girls her tummy, then attempting to lift their tabards to see theirs
- Visiting my little sis and watching Piglet the dog round Erin up on the rug
- Eating curry, followed by ice cream
- Sleeping for eight hours straight
- Watching Erin wake up, sitting up, grinning at me and saying: “Hiya”
- Watching our new wood floor going down in the lounge
- Being thanked by the cats, in their own way, for filling their bowls with food
- Having a walk with Katy’s dogs in the beautiful sunshine
- Seeing some great coverage for a story I sent out this week
- Singing along to the B52s ‘Love Shack’ in the car at the top of my voice
- Eating a Jaffa Cake (..alright three Jaffa Cakes!).
“Because I’m happy”..cheers Pharrell for the insight.
