Wake Up Happy (feat. Dexter Dash)

by BRKN BLVD

/

about

Following up on his sophomore release, “She Said”, which racked up over 30K streams on Spotify in the first week, NYC-based BRKN BLVD is back with summer-ready, Emo-Pop bop, “Wake Up Happy”. Produced by Massachusetts based musical wunderkind CHYLD, his latest offering brings a bubbly and bouncy beat and features vocals from his son Dexter Dash that he recorded when he was 4 years old (he is responsible for those fresh “ooh’s” and some other adlibs).

While on the outside, “Wake Up Happy”, appears to be a major mood-booster, the lyrics are anything but. As always, BRKN BLVD allows his hidden torment to shine, as he touches on feelings of being alone, lost and at the end of his rope. Reflective of his real-life perspective, this whole tune was built around the first line, “I wake up happy, go to bed the same”, which is something that he regularly says in casual conversation. The idea being, that we can all kind of agree that a lot of time – life’s a bitch - so for BRKN BLVD, there is no option other than having fun, laughing, and enjoying every minute of every day and being as he happy as possibly can, at all-times – no matter what may be weighing/breaking him down in the moment.
Life sucks. Smile.

lyrics

I wake up happy
Go to bed the same
Been thinking lately
Maybe I should take it slow
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I got nowhere to go
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Don’t need sunshine
I’m dancing in the rain
I feel just fine
Numb to all the pain you know
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Buried deep in my soul
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

But I’ve
Been feeling so alone
There ain’t no place like home
I know that I will find it someday

I can’t stop thinking it’s all my fault
But I won’t let it bring me down
I’m honestly surprised
That I’m still alive
Living life is suicide
This is do or die
Imma do it right

I can’t stop thinking it’s all my fault
But I won’t let it bring me down
I’m honestly surprised
That I’m still alive
Living life is suicide
This is do or die
Imma do it right

See, I passed right out
And woke up in the nick of time
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
You want a piece of me
But I just want some peace of mind
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

So, I’m carrying on
With all this weight on my shoulders
The days getting shorter
The nights getting colder
And every step that I take
Is just breaking me down

But I guess
That’s just how life is
A state of crisis
We all use vices
To cope
But one day we’ll
Find our way out
Any day now
Our light will
Fade with the smoke

But I’ve
Been feeling so alone
There ain’t no place like home
I know that I will find it someday

I can’t stop thinking it’s all my fault
But I won’t let it bring me down
I’m honestly surprised
That I’m still alive
Living life is suicide
This is do or die
Imma do it right

I can’t stop thinking it’s all my fault
But I won’t let it bring me down
I’m honestly surprised
That I’m still alive
Living life is suicide
This is do or die
Imma do it right

See, I passed right out
And woke up in the nick of time
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
You want a piece of me
But I just want some peace of mind
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

See, I passed right out
And woke up in the nick of time
You want a piece of me
But I just want some peace of mind
