DMCD Songs: Happy – John P. Kee

I’m not saying this song is old, but if you gave birth to a child in the year this album was released she would be 25 years old today.  Imagine that.  Toddler years done, adolescence complete, perhaps even university years done and dusted.  All in the space of time from when this song was released to this present moment.  (And imagine how ancient that would make you in her eyes!)

Some things age badly over time.  Some things maintain a vigour and freshness untainted by time and that is the example of this song.  People can do complex and profoundly deep songs – and that’s cool.  Yet some of the things that last tell the simplest stories – like this song.  I needed love, I didn’t know I’d ever experience it, then Jesus came along and now I’m happy.  Simple. Sweet.

Thanks JPK for this classic.

For His Name’s Sake

Shalom
