Only Happy When It Rains

[ODH]

Inspired by the recent deluges in the UK in from the Jet stream.

Not so much cover as demonic possession of the Garbage song.

I re-wrote the verses and pretty much reinvented the music.

Happy When it Rains

w/m Garbage & Nick

Wow this is a trip!  Great sounds!  Beautiful mix!  Stellar arrangement/concept!

I was a big fan of Garbage in the day, so this resonates with me.  I love the direction you took it...

Thanks Trevor, Stuart.  I was trying to take the song more to its logical conclusion

I'm only happy when it rains
I realise you'll never comprehend this
Cause you're too dumb to understand it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know how laughter only gets me stressed
And all the happiness just more depressed
I'm only happy when it rains

I never smile in the daylight
My only respite is the dead of night
I know that you will never see my plight
I'm only happy when it rains
My only pleasure is the pain of harm
Did you wonder about the scars on my arm?
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me...


And if there's people then I'm f#cked
When I'm with people then I self destruct
You'll never understand my pain
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me...


I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
And then you'll know about me.  And you...
I'm only happy when it rains

Brilliant work Nick - even though its nothing like the original it still is very reminiscent of Garbage in places - like they did another version but without Ms Manson.

Garbage have always been one of my favourite bands and Shirley Manson is one of my guilty pleasures (is that wrong?)

Hope to post something soon - this has helped restore a bit of my lost mojo!

Thanks Pete.  I would have liked to have someone like Juliette Lewis do the vocal; she never returns my calls...
