30 Day Song Challenge: Day 3 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Linzi Ellen
Something Silly (Billy)


I'm not even sure if this is allowed to be submitted within the confines of the rules to the 30 Day Song Challenge seeing as she's not 'famous' or whatnot, however the theme does require 'a song that makes you happy' and this song just fulfills that sentiment.


It's essentially a quirky little piano romp set to reminiscent tones of Regina Spektor with a chorus that would make Tori Amos blush with a reserved envy. Okay, sure the song has been recorded through a video camera but it goes to show that with solid writing skills, a great song can can still shine through whatever the murky production issue may be. There's a metaphor involving 'workman', ' bad tools' and 'blame' reference I'd like to make, but I'm not sure where I'm really going with that statement.


Bottom line is that's its a fun, beautiful feel good song and you should check out her stuff (link below). I stumbled upon her by complete accident and quite frankly, during the last few weeks I've been listening to very little else since.
