about

I wrote 'Could This Be Happiness' looking back at a time in my life where I was the happiest I've ever been. I had absolutely nothing, I was living in this house that was literally falling apart, I didn't have a penny to my name but it was the first time in my life that I felt like I belonged somewhere and I owe that feeling to the people that were around me. I remember one night we had music playing, we were dancing in the garden and I looked out over the city lights and just thought 'Could This Be Happiness'

lyrics

Look at all the lights on the horizon
They're shining for you and I
I used to reside in a little house above the main line
It ain't much of a life nothing a rich man would desire

But I remember you
And I remember thinking
Could

Could this be happiness
Could this be happiness

I would dance for you in the dark you said
I'm the first and last of my kind
I always had big dreams
You said I was gonna be on the silver screen
Jazz queen
Heart mean
Face like a dream in the underground scene

We were broke and untamed
And I remember thinking
Could

Could this be happiness
Could this be happiness
Heaven ain't a dream of mine
All I wanted was to shine
I can't be without you boy
I can't be
I can't breathe without you boy
I can't breathe
Could this be happiness

Going for the broke
Crush out another smoke
Hand on my heart I said I'd love you until I die
Until I die

Could this be happiness
Could this be happiness
Heaven ain't a dream of mine
All I wanted was to shine
I can't be without you boy
I can't be
I can't breathe without you boy
I can't breathe
Could this be happiness

about

Flossy Jones Brighton, UK

As a city girl Flossy Jones envisioned a life more than the melancholic monotony of a big city underdog, drifting from bar to bar singing Jazz to keep desire alive. She channelled her fantasies constructing a dark new reality. Blending cinematic instrumentation and electronic beats, destabilising lyrics led by a sultry vocal line reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, Sky Ferreira and Wolf Alice. ... more
