New b-side from Australian indie-folk artist Owls of the Swamp (aka Pete Uhlenbruch) recorded & mixed in Melbourne in June 2013 by James McGauran (White Wolf Compositions) at White Wolf Studios.

Features special guest Mick Hazelman (The Hazelman Brothers) on electric guitar and backing vocals.

The song was inspired during a 2012 tour of Czech Republic when Pete was playing all his favourite songs to a friend and realised after a few hours that all his favourite songs were sad, and that for him, happiness is indeed a sad song.

No instruments were harmed in the making of this track.

Program notes:
After my graduation from Mills College in 2015, I returned to Iceland for the summer.  The bright Icelandic summer light welcomed me in all its beauty. My eyes had gotten used to the Californian daylight,  more golden and dreamy than the Icelandic light. Icelandic daylight is colder, sharper, and somehow more clear.  My eyes needed time to adjust—it had never felt so bright, so colorful, so clear.  The Icelandic sunset and sunrise even have a completely different texture than in California. In Iceland the brightness projects  different colors on the landscape—the mountains in Iceland are blue, the mountains in California are gold.  Here, everything gets a sharper edge and different tone. These thoughts translated into ideas of difference in sound.  The color qualities of the human voice have always fascinated me, and in this piece I try to communicate different colors  and degrees of brightness. The Icelandic language has over one hundred words describing the brightness of daylight from dawn to dusk.  I used them as inspiration and but the piece is without words. Let the voices draw the pictures and shape the piece.
