BEFORE THE ALBUM...
...WE RELEASED THIS VIDEO BEFORE LETTING EVERYONE KNOW WE WERE GOING TO BE RELEASING A NEW ALBUM. WE WANTED TO DRAW A LINE, AND LET EVERYONE KNOW WE WERE STARTING A NEW CHAPTER TOGETHER, WE JUST KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL!

A BIT ABOUT THE ALBUM...
...HAPPIER. WAS WRITTEN AND RECORDED DURING THE PANDEMIC, A TIME WHERE A LOT OF US BEGAN STRUGGLING WITH OUR MENTAL HEALTH, A TIME WHERE A LOT OF US NEEDED SOME EXTRA HELP TO FEEL HAPPIER.
THIS IS THE ALBUM THAT TRULY STARTED THE ADF MANTRA OF IT'S OKAY TO NOT FEEL OKAY, AND IT'S SOMETHING WE WILL TAKE WITH US THROUGH TO EACH ALBUM WE CREATE.
HAPPIER. IS ALSO THE ERA WE STARTED EXPANDING OUR TEAM TO MORE THAN JUST THE BAND MEMBERS, AND SO WE DECIDED TO PUT ON THE BIGGEST TOUR AROUND THE U.K THAT WE HAD DONE IN OUR CAREERS (TO THAT DATE) WHICH ENDED UP IN EVERY SINGLE SHOW SELLING OUT. THIS IS LITERALLY THE POSTER THAT BEGAN PUTTING THE NAME AS DECEMBER FALLS ON THE MAP, AND WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE AMAZING SUPPORT OUR FAN BASE SHOWED US DURING THE MAKING OF HAPPIER.
BETHANY'S FAVOURITE TRACK:
LYRICS:
I'M ALWAYS SICK AND I'M ALWAYS TIRED
STEADY LIFE IS MY EXCUSE
NOTHING MATTERS WHEN YOU'RE DOWN
AND THERE'S NOTHING GENTLY NUDGING YOU
ANY MOMENT I HOPE I'LL SEE
THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE
HAPPIER
HAPPIER
TAKING IT ALL
TAKING IT NOW
TAKE WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE IT ALL COMES DOWN
SAY WHAT YOU WANT
SAY WHAT YOU WILL
NOTHING WILL CHANGE IF YOU LEAVE IT STILL
DON'T LET IT GO
DON'T LET IT GO
DON'T LET IT GO
DON'T LET IT GO
DON'T LET IT GO
WE SHOULD ALL BE HAPPIER
HAPPIER.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
THE SONG HAPPIER. IS ONE OF THE MOST VULNERABLE SONGS I HAVE EVER WRITTEN.
IT CAME ABOUT AT ABOUT 3 IN THE MORNING WHEN I WOKE ANDE CRYING, (TO WHICH HE WAS THRILLED,) TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT I HAD WRITTEN A SONG AND I NEEDED TO WRITE IT THERE AND THEN.
ANDE WENT AND GOT HIS GUITAR, AND BY THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE DEMO HAD BEEN RECORDED.
WE ENDED UP NAMING THE ALBUM AFTER THIS SONG, BECAUSE IT JUST MADE SENSE TO US THAT THIS DELICATE PIECE SUMMED UP WHAT THE ALBUM WAS ABOUT.
I NEVER INTENDED FOR HAPPIER. TO BE PLAYED LIVE, AS WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A BAND THAT PLAYS FAST MUSIC, WE LIKE KEEPING CROWDS ON THERE TOES, BUT WE DECIDED TO BRING THIS ONE OUT ON TOUR AND NOW IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITES TO PLAY FOR YOU ALL.
THE BEST PART ABOUT CREATING MUSIC IS PLAYING LIVE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I HEAR CROWDS SINGING/SCREAMING LYRICS BACK AT ME, I LOVE HOW PEOPLE CONNECT WITH THEM, DRAW THERE OWN MEANINGS FROM THEM, AND SO WHEN I HEAR A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE SINGING 'WE SHOULD ALL BE HAPPIER' I GENUINELY COULDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE.
ANDE'S FAVOURITE TRACK:
LYRICS:
And they say, this is the part that makes you or breaks you down
And I say, to hell with that
I just can't help but feel it
I grit my teeth I'm suffering
I just can't damn believe it
I won't be one for giving in
It's here, it's there, it's all in your head
I'm scared to death, this feeling it's rare
I'm trapped inside, I won't be alright
I won't be alright
I'm begging for a sign
I'm running out of time
I've been searching all day
I never found it I don't feel like feeling great
I'm begging for a sign
I'm still running out of time
I've been searching all day
I never found it I don't feel like feeling great
And I've never been good but I've never been bad
And I stand for those who feel a little bit sad
'Coz we're all just passing by
We don't know the reasons why
Don't look to me 'coz I'm the same as you
It's here, it's there, it's all in your head
I'm scared to death, this feeling it's rare
I'm trapped inside, I won't be alright
I won't be alright
I'm begging for a sign
I'm running out of time
I've been searching all day
I never found it I don't feel like feeling great
I'm begging for a sign
I'm still running out of time
I've been searching all day
I never found it I don't feel like feeling great
Hear me out, I don't ever want to leave you down and
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
Down and
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
DA DA DA DA DA
Hear me out, I don't ever want to leave you down and
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
I'm begging for a sign
I'm running out of time
I've been searching all day
I never found it I don't feel like feeling great
I'm begging for a sign
I'm still running out of time
I've been searching all day
I never found it I don't feel like feeling great
Yeah
I DON'T FEEL LIKE FEELING GREAT
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT FEELING YOUR FEELINGS. WHETHER YOU WANT TO FEEL ANGRY, SAD, HAPPY! YOU'RE FEELINGS ARE VALID AND THAT IS WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT.
MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE GROWN UP AS AN ALTERNATIVE KID HAVE AT SOME POINT BEEN MADE TO FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER, LIKE A WEIRDO, AS IF WE DON'T FIT INSIDE THE BOX. THIS SONG IS FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO FIT IN TO A BOX? BE YOUR UNAPOLOGETIC, BADASS SELF!
THIS ONE IS ANOTHER GREAT LIVE SONG, AS WE HAVE A SING ALONG SECTION IN THE MIDDLE 8 THAT YOU GUYS LOVE TO SCREAM BACK AT US! AFTER EACH SHOW, WE OVE WATCHING ALL THE VIDEOS WE'VE BEEN TAGGED IN, AND OUR FAVOURITES ARE ALWAYS FROM I DON'T FEEL LIKE FEELING GREAT!
TIMMY'S FAVOURITE TRACK:
LYRICS:
And I've always been open minded
But lately it's acting up
Can't sit still, can't just walk in
Everything just feels too much
I'm not saying I'm not happy
But lately it's getting tough
And smiling doesn't help me
They say I try too hard
And I remember, it didn't used to be this way
Oh well, I've got a room full of fake company
But you're the only eyes that I can see tonight
I'm overcome with the need to get away
But if you just ask me to stay
Well maybe this will all work out and I can change
Today it doesn't matter
Tonight I'll be okay
I've always been up and down
Never knowing what to say
Today will be a struggle
Tonight I'll be a mess
But I promise if you're there
I'll feel it less and less
And I remember it didn't used to be this way
Oh well, I've got a room full of fake company
But you're the only eyes that I can see tonight
I'm overcome with the need to get away
But if you just ask me to stay
Well maybe this will all work out and I can change
I can change
I've been there I've done that
It's always ending this way
Why can't you just call back?
It's always ending the same
Oh well, I've got a room full of fake company
But you're the only eyes that I can see tonight
I'm overcome with the need to get away
But if you just asked me to stay
Well maybe this will all work out and I can change
FAKE COMPANY
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
FAKE COMPANY IS ANOTHER VULNERABLE TRACK OFF THE ALBUM.
THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT SOCIAL ANXIETY AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS DOING BASIC THINGS WHEN IT OVERWHELMS YOU.
I WAS ON A NIGHT OUT SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS TO FIND MYSELF STRUGGLING, MY BREATHING TIGHTENED AND THE ANXIETY SET IN. THINGS LIKE THIS KEPT HAPPENING AND I FOUND MYSELF DEEP IN THOUGHT ABOUT WHY I FELT THIS WAY, AND KEPT COMING BACK TO THIS FEELING OF BEING SURROUNDED BY FAKE COMPANY.
