IT'S A JOY | 2021 REMASTER | We Happy Few Song feat. Dan Bull
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2021
- We Happy Few is a game about surviving in the drug-drenched town of Wellington Wells in a dystopian alternate 1960s where the Germans won the war, everyone is forced to be happy and nothing is as it seems.
I always loved this track ever since I released it back in 2018. But at the same time, I was very early in my music career and the track was perhaps a little too ambitious for me at the time. More layers of harmonies and vocals than I'd ever attempted and a more complex style of musical composing and structure than a typical rap number. So whilst I loved the track, it was always a little rough around the edges.
So I thought it was about time for the remaster treatment! The fantastic oo oxygen has reworked the track, improving and balancing the vocals and instrumentation, reining in the harmonies and fleshing out the track with new sounds and instruments for a fuller sound!
In addition, I've also revisited the video, upscaling the project to full 4k, fixing a few minor visual bugs and also adding a little more visual polish here and there!
I'm really excited to share this one with you all and I hope you don't mind another smaller project as I am knee deep in new house things. I spent most of the last week up a ladder painting ceilings...

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
Lovely day for it, how do you do?
And we just had to pay for it out of the truth
But who can remember? So who'd really care?
Exactly how all of the bodies got there
With a hop and a skip and the pop of a pill
We will all be forgiven for all that we've killed
And we've never been happier (And we've never been happier)
No we'll never be happier (No we'll never be happier)
A brilliant day is dawning
A million smiles are forming
Our shimmering isles are all enthralled
No there’s nothing like conforming
Perish the thought of mourning
Did you ignore the warnings?
All negative thoughts abhorred
My Lord! Did you take your joy this morning?
Ask anybody in Wellington Wells
They'll tell you it's terribly swell
Delirious denizens dwell where there's nary a speck between heaven and hell
They say that the empire fell
Oh, but you never could tell!
You say you remember it well?
You'd better forget it or else!
Why try to better yourself?
Reach for the medical shelf
Just take your medicine, death and the pestilence melt into pleasant locales
Another rebellion quelled
Dust off your suspenders and belts
It's horrendous to dwell so remember how splendid it felt to surrender yourself...
...The roses we grow have a terrible smell...
CHORUS:
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
To be among we happy few
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
VERSE 2:
Well well, welcome to Wellington Wells
Hear the tintinnabulations of the resonant bells
As every resident tells you when they gush about our little town
No need to rush, hush, you're welcome to settle down
Better not let me down
You're not a downer are you?
Get off the bench and quell that frown right now, Keanu
Try not to make a scene, let's keep this place serene
Unless you want a cricket bat print in the place your face had been
Don't be concerned, that was just a little bitter lyric
The world in which you live is every little bit idyllic
Because if we even sniff discontent we're quick to kill it
Ahem, please forgive my sense of humour, I'm a wit; satiric
They call me Uncle Jack
I'm bringing jungle back
Dropping silver tongue twisting numbers on your mumble rap
Now be my guest and enjoy your day
And don’t forget to keep ingesting your joy all day
BRIDGE:
Not a frown to be found in our haven from gloom
It's astounding what our medication can do
As our town's burning down in a rainbow of hues
Even the sky wouldn't dare to be blue
CHORUS:
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
To be among we happy few
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
VERSE 3:
I've found a downer!
Hunt him down!
Surround the bounder!
Drown him!
Pound him into powder!
Then head down to the grounds for a round of rounders!
(HOORAY!)
If you're caught in a rotten, improper mood
We'll stop at nothing to swaddled and coddle you
Throttle and bottle you, Bobby will cudgel you
Into the pond ‘til your body is otter food
Quarter you, jauntily torture you
Until you've thought all the thoughts that we order you
Sporting a jollier point of view
If you're not enjoying it what is the point of you?
We've just the thing to stop the rabble, It’s
Grin, pop some tablets
No matter what the matter is
Sins forgot. Fabulous
Cast off with the ardent misfits
Lamenting the garden districts
So throw your doses in the bin
History's made by those who grin
The fact is you can't react not knowing what REDACTED
No need to grieve if you can't see diseases we've REDACTED
Happiness and truth, we simply view them through a lens, REDACTED
Life's a breeze when you can leave uneasy deeds REDACTED
(I'm happy.)
(I'm happy.)
(I'm happy!)
CHORUS:
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
To be among we happy few
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
To be among we happy few
It's a Joy
It's a Joy
And we've never been happier
No we've never been happier
ReMaStEr!?
Nice!
HI! I love your songs!

Nicely done sir and stay hydrated
the term “even the sky wouldn’t dare to be blue” is such a powerful phrase
Same with “history’s made by those who grin.”
This feels like a corrupted version of the beetles
@@zzjohnny Yez, i thought we were all sleeping on that line
EDIT: i was drunk when i wrote that, but you know what? I WAS RIGHT
also ‘’ it’s astounding what medication can do’’ is my favorite line
@@lucaswh311 that whole part of the song feels so good to listen to and sing along to
I know that the developers of We Happy Few were a little disappointed in how the game was released but honestly I do hope they revisit the gloriously, brightly-colored, orwellian dystopia where all sadness is punished by death or exile.
*_Wellington Welles._*
_Where everything is a Joy._
This remaster is honestly a beautiful love-letter to the almost forgotten survival sim with a story that always leaves me with a smile... Or a frown... Hard to remember now, though doesn't matter. Just pop a joy, forget, and let the clouds pass you by.
Honestly the game had so much potential, it just turned into a super generic survival game with crafting. I really wish they did something more interesting like a BioShock-type single player story game.
@@D2Davis This was my main problem with the game. I wished for something much more linear. The survival crafting aspect just didn't make it for me.
@@rocketjumper5419 The creation of the game was fairly hazy from kickstarter to being pushed to the Xbox One. I thought the survival parts of the game were interesting but didn't hold the weight needed for a survival game while the singleplayer parts showed a lot of polish but were still reflective of the survival gameplay.
The major reason it failed as well is because they kept pushing it as a Bioshock type game in marketing when the team advidely wanted it to be acknowledged as an indie game as to not throw fake assumptions onto them... Though that ended up with the lackluster release we got. The true version of the game is similar to the sandbox mode where there is no story and you are just trying to escape, similar to Sir You Are Being Hunted.
I feel like the DLCs were good for that single player experience but I think a multiplayer survival mode would still be interesting to have a swing at since that is a major thing nowadays.
Also they missed a major opportunity to have a Bobby Themed DLC where you play survival but as a Bobby off his Blackberry but having to fake being high of Joy as he cracks down other "Downers" to keep himself out of the line of suspicion
I should start playing it again. Never finished the story
@@rocketjumper5419 ngl I feel like it would of been good in a similar style to dishonored, no idea why though.
“Help me whilst this melody has them distracted” this mans word play is pure silver...
Where is that line?
@@soren5312 4:23 it gets covered up so you might need to pause
I don't get the word play.
@@LordofdeLoquendo it’s because it rhymes still
@@radicalman7304 Ahhhhh, I thought that it was a pun hidden
Can we all agree that no amount of joy can help with the reality of living in Birmingham

realest comment
So true
Yep, get the wrong postcode, and you get stabbed by a year 7
I'm so sorry for you
Everyone talks a lot about the "Even the sky wouldn't dare to be blue." but the "The roses we grow have a terrible smell" hits hard, its the first little "joyless" lyric.
Not quite sure why we were honored with this little gem (again) but hey- it's a great way to start the weekend. Who can't use a bit of Joy on a Friday afternoon/evening?
It's an improved version.
Honestly, it got better, but Dan's part became weaker with the tone diff.
Take your drugs
@@csorigeriFits becose it's old tv. Feels more naturally.
I say this with total honesty. The fact that the chorus sounds like The Beatles is incredible, this is an amazing song that truly encompasses the themes and events of We Happy Few, just pop your pills and forget the stench of reality as the colors brighten and the clouds fly past in psychedelic swirls.
Well there is a band in the game that's basically The Beatles style and also you play one of the members in the best dlc
As a Beatles fan, this song really appealed to me.
@@yeethittter1285 do you get told "why are you everywhere" a lot?
@@amythetoon6535 No but it's fun when I do
@@amythetoon6535 At 4:13 The word "REDACTED!" says in every end of the words.
I always was amazed by how well you nailed down the vibe for this song, and the remaster for it sounds absolutely splendid!!
Awh jeez, thanks ChiChi! :D
I definitely agree with you Chi-Chi... The way the first one was made was incredible, but I never thought that it was possible to actually improve it like this...
*Joyous
No, it sound "stupendium" (what I'm doing with my life)
OMG CHI CHI I love your music
Honestly amazed how much this remaster makes something that was already great even better! Dan's part and 3:45 onwards especially! Seriously fantastic work!
Blood for the Blood God!

Nice to see you here lath, and yea they did so well

Yo Lathrix you're here too? Gotta love being a stupendium fan. 😁
The clapping bro it makes me _feel_ shit
I was never a massive fan of this game but my God does it hit the chord of a totalitarian regimes propaganda so well. The literal chills I got with the "even the sky wouldn't dare to be blue" line. The entire *REDACTED* bit is amazing too.
It's kinda like daily life here in the US.

thx for the heart bro
So did the line ask anyone in Wellington Wells
@@SeatedTigerthat too omg I kept replaying that
The sheer anger in "If you're not enjoying it, what is the *_point_* of you?" hits so hard. I always go nuts for the miming-a-smile-with-two-fingers trope
Did anyone notice the lyric,“help me please whilst this melody has them distracted”?I didn’t even notice that until now and going back and re-reading the lyrics before the got “redacted”,it’s depressing and I love it,this is how they view their world and he put it into song!I love it!
It’s [REDACTED] and I love it!
@@Mikescool444 I’m trying to think of the work that rhymes with redacted, lines up in syllables, and makes sense for that place holder. It’s not hitting me.
I guess I can’t react not knowing what REDACTED.
@@robertaylor9218 My best would be "inactive", even though I know that does sound a bit awkward.
The original words are still there, before they are redacted.
(If you are talking about what other lyrics could fit, how about "It doesn't matter what bad deeds we have enacted"?)
Yes
"Our town's burning down in a rainbow of hues" section is legit some of my favorite songwriting. It's so eerie, joyous, and such amazing wordplay
3:57 I love how he just slides into frame creepily and that smile, disturbing!! I love this portrayal of character
the fact that the redacted parts (including the entire redacted cry for help) have also been fantasically written to fit the rhythm and rhyme scheme even though they will never actuall be sung is just the perfect touch on what already was perfection
I was totally amazed when this first video came out so it’s great to hear and see the remastered version!
I like cheese
Love your profile pic
@@enel-eating it sure brings joy doesn't it?
Look at the likes
I was listening to this just yesterday and wow, Immediately as Stupes started singing you could hear the difference.
Like its crisper and has different pace, like it's a bit slower and the melodies/harmonies are smoother more integrated(?), and Dan's part was really cool, the claps and the sound additions are amazing.
please correct me if I'm wrong. I know nothing about producing or mixing music, I'm just describing it how I hear it.
I went back to the original after listening to this and yeah, HUGE difference. I love it a lot and I loved the original
Yesterday? You commented 1 hour after this came out?
@@levipotatoman4299 “listening to *this* “
Not the original
They mean the original
But it says THIS
There's some added dissonance between the harmonies as well, which helps give the slightly unsettling feeling that something's wrong.
@@austinthegamest7424 No, I meant the original. By "this" I meant the title "It's A Joy [We Happy Few]".
This man is the best nerdcore artist. I love everyone of course but he captures the spirit of the game in a way no one else can quite manage.
I had no idea this genre had a name, this is the first time I hear the term nerdcore. well I can call myself a real nerdcore enthusiast now!
If you are looking for another good nerdcore rapper Mc Frontalot is great, i am not sure if he is still making stuff but he was the best.
I really enjoy the creative use of subtitles in this video
The Wellies get a joyful font
The man in black has the redacted font
Uncle Jack gets a his own font too
But my favorite part is how there are lyrics that are never spoken because they're redacted. It's something you could never do with audio alone, it feels like it really takes advantage of the video aspect of the music video.
This goes doubly because many people seem to think adding subtitles are a chore, so it's very satisfying to see someone demonstrating their potential to add to the experience.
I love the fact that when he says redacted the sound is what plays in the game when you get a question wrong in the quiz section.
Brilliant as always ✨

"Downers on the streets? Wrong! Sulfiric Asid!!!"
@@c-c-combobreakAsid? WRONG! Acid!
@@andrewle4989 Lmao, you got me there 😂
I don't think I have to tell you that this feels like a new shot of adrenaline into the song, and it feels like a completely new song. The revamped bass and instruments for the 4 piece band, plus the occasional cracks all through it and in Bulls section through to the darkness under Wellington Wells show how much more there is to this than the first one did. I love them both, and the first Its a Joy will always have a special place in my heart... but the new effects sends this one into the stratosphere. Who wrote the Uncle Jack rap, you or Dan? Or was it a collaboration,and now you've remastered it, would you have liked it to be rewritten in any way?
The only issue now is[REDACTED]. [THERE ARE NO ISSUES. ENJOY YOUR DAY.]
Thank you so much! :D
Dan wrote his own verse for this track. :)
at the end of the song, he mentions how he has updated our prescription of joy. If you listen to the original compared to this, you will realise that the older one sounded a lot gloomier and less powerful, as if joy hadn't been refined and perfected, as opposed to now where they have made joy an all powerful substance that has zero flaws. Brilliant wordplay and acknowledgement of your difference in styles.
The line "even the sky wouldn't dare to be blue" still leaves me with chills.
2:38-2:58
This part, in my opinion, was legit the best part of the original, and the remaster made it even better.
10/10, like always.
I personally like 1:00 - 1:30 especially with the extra vocals. and 1:58 to the end of that segment. However your part is definitely great
This version of the song is amazing, I wasnt expecting this, but i should have expected it, considering the lyrical genius you are and how you can turn one song into another genre.
You are absolutely correct
Rhyming tablets with rabble, it’s? Absolute lyrical genius it feels so fun and satisfying to sing, all of the lyrics fit the theme, are smart af and also perfectly fit the beat?? Literally your best song
Second one... this is the second song of yours that convinced me to buy a game, even knowing the flaws
how you enjoying it :)
Same bro
So cool!!
So cool!!
So cool!!
So cool!
"Even the sky wouldn't dare to be blue"

Ah yes your right
It is 100% orange
BIG BROTHA REFERENCE
BOTTOM TEXT
Everyone is talking about the line "even the sky wouldnt dare to be blue" but i love the line "our town's burning down in a rainbow of hues", it represents the game so well, with Wellington Wells gradually crumbling down but everyone is too high off their Joy to notice
This fits a Beatles song perfectly. I love it! I've never been happier!
"This song literally cannot get any better"
Stupes: Hold my beer
you mean "Hold my OnlyCan"
@@plebdoge7509 Genius! Brilliant! Beautiful! 10/10!
Or: "Hold my pills"
Yea I especially like 1:57 for some reson
YOOOO IM SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT COMES OUT SEEING HOW GOOD THE ORIGINAL SONG IS
Edit: I'm noticing more elaborate editing and visuals with somewhat remix or hardcore like audio compared to the original (the voices are more harmonious and the instruments have a clearer beat)
One of the best songs he’s made, for a great game! This is a wonderful remaster with a surprising amount added, I especially like the addition of more backing vocals. 1:00 - 1:30 is especially great
Oh my god I just noticed the little extra vocals in it thank you
"Did you take your joy this morning" has become my housemate and my reminder for taking our morning meds
Clicked faster than the average person could pop their joy
@TommyInnit 🅥 really a spambot on stupendiums videos.
X doubt
I love this song! So glad to see a remaster!!! Thank you! 😃
So joyful to see this remaster btw.
Bruh this is a remaster XD
@@tristanmerkin183 That’s what I said.
Let’s get a remaster of more songs
I like how they added the redacted as a part of the song so smoothly❤
It's honestly impressive how so many seemingly small changes make such a big difference. You did great!
The original version was the first Stupendium song I've ever heard, so I'm very glad to see it remade! It's surprising how much feeling and energy some simple sound edits and additions made. I really love the clapping along in some of the parts, I don't really know why, but they just add so much.
I’m excited to see how you’ll PILL this one off
Late update:, it was great
You may say this song is popping
N I C E
this is an incredible song
the original song was good, but it had so much potential
and to see this remaster is amazing
the fact that it's a collab with Dan Bull is even better
the costumes and the video were perfect as is, and the lyrics were great as well
but the remastered instrumentals and the audio overall, especially Dan Bull's verse
definitely one of my absolute favorites from The Stupendium
Oh my goodness, this song just makes you FEEL. This sort of dystopia is so up my alley and the lyrics reflect this concept so well, with many standout lines (“even the sky wouldn’t dare to be blue” - that took me a second) . Not to mention it’s a straight up gorgeous song that has so many parts I just keep repeating (especially “a brilliant day is forming” part). It nails the Beatles/Monkees vibe, and I particularly think their use as a musical contrast to the subject matter just works so perfectly.
Also, funny thing, I watched some of your stream of this game and that rat piñata part you said would have been more harrowing if it weren’t in all the trailers. This video is where I first saw it and it actually really freaked me out lol, it really highlights the depravity joy covers up. God I just really love this concept. It’s just so sad.
This has a more "brain-washy" feel to it, its mesmerizing!
It's quite amazing to see this song get the remaster treatment. Really adds that stupendium spit shine that we've all become so familiar with.
I'm so glad this got a remaster since this is the one I always go back to listen to. I haven't beaten We Happy Few yet but I'm enjoying it a lot. I found myself singing along from start to end. In the remaster the instruments and vocals are more crisp and clear! GOOD JOB WITH THE OVERHAUL, STUPENDIUM!
and here I am singing to it again.
Remember We Happy Few 💕 Especially during times such as these.....
Honestly i didnt think that The song needed a remaster with how good it is but wow the changes and upgrades to this had my jaw dropped
Ooh all of the voices are so much more refined than before. It’s amazing in an… offputting way. Kinda like the game itself.
Of course, Dan's lyrics are *less* refined, but thats what makes it better.
2:00 this part is amazing
Is it because his accent fits perfectly with the atmosphere and the time that they’re trying to represent? Because it adds to the feeling of... for the lack of a better word old fashioned world
this remaster continues to be an absolute joy (pun very much intended), i listened to the original version and gods this is such a refreshing update. the mixing and vocal performance itself are so much better, and the music video didnt even need to be changed because of how good the OG is. as per usual a great song
Oh damn, a real classic has gotten even better. And creepier, but i love it!
True!
When I was in psychosis I used to sing this and I genuinely used it as a grounding technique. I was sleeping in an alleyway and I remember i just beat the hell out of a meth fiend and singing "Well well welcome to Wellington wells". Wrapped in a blanket freezing. Life is wild.
I know so many people have already said this, but I had no idea this song could hit a new level…. but it did! It blew the expectations of anyone clicking this video. The Stupendium is the only artist I have every heard of that would take an already great song, and then make it even better! I know what I’m playing on loop for the next month. 😁
Gonna be honest, this song NEEDED this Remaster. Whenever my playlist came to it, the volume was about two clicks lower than the previous song.
Still one of my favorites to this day. Both versions of that [REDACTED] section still stays with me. Thank you for remastering this one c:
I remember being around when the original version of the song came out, but now hearing this new version I can safely say that this truly feels improved on. The drums are definitely given more presence and make the harmony and beat feel more lively than before. I'm not sure how you did it, but you made a banger of a banger Stupes! Hope everything is well with the new house, and until our next joyous meeting!
This is one of those songs I didn't really like at first, but I like it the more I listen to it and now it's one of my favorites
Everytime I see you cover a games thematics or Characterization I'm astounded by how well you can fuse music into it, as I had stated in a few videos of yours a long while ago. To keep this brief, you need to get paid by developers to make a song for their games your that impressive.
I really enjoyed the original, but this remaster is just like getting an extra dose of strawberry Joy!!
The chorus sounds so much better here!
I also love basically everything about this remastered, I'm gonna be enjoying this one alot in the next few weeks I can tell
3:50 I'm not going to lie, this is exactly how I feel when teachers at college demand that I cheer up.
I really like that the remaster made the Joy Doctor's voice reverbed, almost sounding like it's coming from a megaphone. Makes him sound way more creepy and intimidating.
What a jolly delight to have such a joyous classic remastered for the modern day!
My goodness! I was just listening to one of your songs, along with the original of this being played only ten minutes previously, and here you are with another one of your amazing remasterings! Love the stuff, Stupes!
I honestly can't believe how talented this man is.
I get chills at "you say you remember it well? you'd better forget it or else!"
I listened to this earlier on Spotify.
It gets better every time I listen to it like why is this so good? 💗💛💙
*looks at comment, notices order of hearts* “nice”

Stupes' songs are the joy I need to take every morning! Plus, it's really interesting to listen to this remaster after recently listening to Tune into the Madness. All the parallels between the two songs and their respective games might be something interesting to think about.
We happy few had such an amazing story, its a shame the gameplay was so mediocre
I love how the music gets slower as it continues and when they put mask on us it is again faster, like we were under some drugs that have limited time
I played we happy few because of this game, still need to go back and finish it, this might be just the reason I need.
God no matter how many times I listen to it ,it’s A JOY
You know the phrase “Don’t fix what isn’t broken”? Rather than you fixing what wasn’t broken, you’ve refurbished it so it can’t be broken! An incredible remaster and a brilliant song once again, thank you Stupendium 😌
Man, this game was the epitome of wasted potential. This song however has always been great, keep it up Stupendium.
Yeah, concept for the game was the best I've ever seen in well.. ever. I dont exaggerate when I say that there needs to be a sequel to We Happy Few. I dont care what anyone says about it, its the best game I've ever touched. I'll defend to my grave.
Still really want a sequel. At least the DLC was nice.
@@dazedandconfused5711 I'm very glad you loved it so much :)
While I can't say I liked how the game turned out, it's cool seeing others get fun out of it.
@@dazedandconfused5711 they could have just fixed it.
@@lop90ful1 What do you mean "fixed it."
@@dazedandconfused5711 I mean like they could have just kept on updating it
I like this version a lot more, It does a really good job of conveying the feeling of utter derangement and makes me feel genuinely unsettled at times. Stupendous work, as always.
Ah, memories. This song was how I first found Stupendium, so it's a joy (pun intended) to see it given the remaster treatment. Good on you Stupes!
It took me dozens of listenings and a remaster to finally realise why "history is made by those who grin" sounded so familiar. I absolutely adore every video you make, they're dripping with passion!
why does it sounds so familiar?
So good it's worth the movie theater re-release.
This was the song that got me into Stupes' work, and I'm glad to see it reimagined.
Lol, I was just watching your 2 year old streams and checking the game out. This is what I call timing!
I already commented this a while ago, but at the part where "if you're not enjoying you what is the point of you" seems like someone who's built an immunity to joy and doesn't want to accept it
Every little bit of tuning and little almost subconcious little edits really turned this already fantastic song into a real masterpiece
I thought the original was fantastic, but this remaster blew me away- The redone audio, additional sound effects, just fantastic! Akin to shadows scratching at the edge of one's vision in the dark, the faint whispers in the periphery- a stark contrast to the near bombastic chorus of "joyful" citizenry still under the effects of Joy. Just, fucking, brilliant- Another bop Stupendium!
Yes.
May just be the joy pills, but this song brings a smile to my face
Just the fact he made an upbeat song about this is incredible. My mouth would hurt just keeping the smile up, not to mention singing whilst.
I just noticed that at like 0:07, the corners of the "WWBC" screen has the joy pills in the corners! How did I not notice that!?
I love this game and this song is so good, the reference to the Beatles with the “wellies” is such a good pun and I like to think in the world of we happy few there would be bands like the Beatles
Joy is not needed when one has Stupendium content!
Omg i love the double meaning of “we’ll never be happier” since its presented as ‘theyre so happy theres no possible way they could get happier’ but its also that ‘their situation is so hopeless theres no way they can fix this’
I love how uncle Jack keeps his cool while also talking about the consequences of failing to take your joy. You can tell he seems sensitive with this topic like other wellies
This song is so powerful that I finally bought We Happy Few after having it on my wishlist for years & it's my new belated hyperfixation.
I truly cannot turn this up loud enough when I listen to it. If it were 3D/panned audio, I'd have it on repeat even more than I already do. I want the chorus to seep into my bones.
And as always, the costume design & video production is stunning.
This song and the game itself fits what's going on today pretty accurately.
I'm happy to listen to this song again
Why haven't I seen a comment yet talking about "The fact is, you can't react not knowing what the fact is"? That's my favorite line in the song, for a reason I can't explain
This man is a musical genius.
I always love the remasters! They're a tangible expression of how much you continue to improve. Also, any excuse to get Mr. Bull on the track is alright in my book.
Have a wonderful day!
