Ah, The Wrens. When oh when will you release a new CD?! It's been five long years since your last release, Meadowlands - which is absolutely fantastic - but "Happy" is easily my favorite track on the album. Lyrically, it's beautiful (not to mention Charles Bissell, the lead singer, has an awesome voice). I also adore songs that slowly build-up to some point later in the song, then right before everything sounds like it's about to blow up in a smorgasbord (great word.) of sound and energy, a soft little melody kicks in and everyone is left "Happy" (yea, I went there).
