very interesting choice of melody and chords, intense progression and high tension in this track!

Well, sounds like you know cats!!!... mystery creatures!! ... fantastic happy tune, despite the departure!!!😎... fantastic @ every position, great performances and production!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🙏

I can get the happy for the way nature's creatures go about their lives and I also know we are touched by the ones who come into our lives … and who leave. This song has such a magical quality to it. Your creative spark is very entertaining.

Nice note choice at 0:50. Dug the synth in the production. I'm happy you made this song :)

MIX/MASTER: Woods Studio

NOTE: I came up with this song, music and lyric, a few days after a cat of ours, over 10 years old, went out for his evening look around, and never came home. I consider that relevant to the lyric, but maybe only I would...just trying to deal with the realities of existence...

LYRIC
Hey my friend potato bug
Crawling from a hole I dug
if you thought me a threat at all
You’d roll yourself into a ball

I’m happy for you
Go do what you do 
And I’ll just smile
Go on, do what you do
No need to be
Happy for me

Tiny bird with a hungry maw
Potato bug never saw
You swoop down to snag a meal
Well that’s life, we know the deal

I’m happy for you
A bit jealous too
Great things, those wings
Yeah do what you do
No need to be
Happy for me

My lost love that never was
I think of you, as one does
A bitter man might scorn and scoff
But I assume you’re better off
So why be blue
I’m happy for you

Old black dog with the gray muzzle
Sidle over here and let’s nuzzle
Your best days may lay behind
but the sun is out so pay no mind

I’m happy for you
Each day is still new
don’t fail to wag tail
Go on, do what you do
From what I see
You’re happy for me 

Ah,  I’m happy it’s true
Think what we went through
We got lost, muddled along
Got a few things right, others wrong
If you see yourself in this song
I’m happy for you

I'm Happy For You

SPOTLIGHT:  With Sexagenarian Volume VI now complete, the final volume of songs from my 60s, which will be Volume VII, gets underway with "Get On With Your Life." Check out the other five (5!) volumes of Sexagenarian as well. What happens after my upcoming 70th birthday? TBD!

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
