Better Than Ezra – Happy Day Mama Lyrics 2 years ago
BTE are all time greats, and this song is amazing. It anchors a 4 song run that I consider to be the greatest album flow in the history of recorded music. How Does Your Garden Grow? is an absolute masterpiece, and starting with track 3s' "At the Stars" it goes on an epic tear of eclectic linkage. The spoiled rich girl in track 5s' "Alison Foley" may well be the same girl seemingly throwing her life away in a haze of drugs and sleeping late in track 8s' "Happy Day Mama". These two more upbeat songs are the bread of a perfect musical sandwich, containing track 6s' "Under You" and track 7s' "Live Again". Brooding, reminiscent and somber, these beautiful songs perfectly compliment the others. Thank you for everything you have given us, Better Than Ezra!

For me, "Happy Day Mama" has always reminded me of my mother. Just because she loved to write long letters complaining to power companies, telephone companies, shopping catalogs, or really anything she thought might have sent an erroneous bill. When she passed away, I kept the whole collection of her crazy complaint letters and think about them anything I hear this song. Thanks for reading!
