We felt it was time to release a ballad after two rockin’ numbers,” said drummer, Jess Townsend
(she/her/hers). “From the moment Jac brought this one to the band, I felt it’s familiarity on a soul
level. It just sits in the middle of your chest and squeezes.”

“Lungs” is the perfect storm of emotions and intoxicating melodies. Happy Little Clouds have given music lovers everywhere an absolute musical work of art.

The listener can really make this song their own,” said Jac Mestel (they/them/ theirs),who is re-sponsible for the song’s vocals, guitar, and organ. ”Each verse can be like someone grappling with a major life-shattering event as they go through a whole hero’s journey arc within the span of a 3-minute song. As the song progresses, they deal with their constantly changing feelings or stages
of grief, or self acceptance and by the end, they work up the strength to believe in themselves and regain a sense of pride.”

“I feel like the song is very powerful and comes from a personal place and could mean so much to so many people struggling,” said JD Bergstrom (he/him/his), the group’s bassist. “It’s not lightheart-
ed, but it is positive.”

Happy Little Clouds are a band that we simply can’t get enough of. We can’t wait to see what happens next.
