With “Save Some Happiness”, A Mess turns inward. Where previous songs confronted the outside world, this new single is about what happens within after years of being an angry woman in a tough world. With warmth and a stubborn cowbell it carries A Mess’ signature Power Pop edge sharpened by her distinct honesty.
“Save Some Happiness” is for everyone who has spent years trying to be good enough. Especially those of us who learned early to shrink a little. Smile more. Keep the peace.
At the heart of the song sits a sentence that sounds almost absurd once you say it out loud: “You’re exactly as brainy as anyone else.” For the girl who was taught to be likeable. To be responsible for the mood in the room. Never to be clever, self-determined or self-assured.
Save Some Happiness is a loud correction.
A song about reclaiming joy without guilt.
Not as an act of escape, but as an act of resistance.
Genres: Power Pop, Grunge Pop, Indie Punk.
