| Sparklehorse – Chaos of the Galaxy/Happy Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Momus, while I like your interpretation, Mark Linkous (rest his soul) wrote every song on this album (with the exception of Saint Mary) before his near-death experience. As we now know all too well, Mark Linkous was not a "happy man", and his depression was something he struggled with well before his brush with death. If we look at the first few lines to this song, he's clearly speaking to someone who's favor he wants, likely a lover. This song appears to be an appeal to that person. All he wants is to be a happy man, and all he wants is this person's favor so he can be that. That's what I think, any way. |
