New b-side from Australian indie-folk artist Owls of the Swamp (aka Pete Uhlenbruch) recorded & mixed in Melbourne in June 2013 by James McGauran (White Wolf Compositions) at White Wolf Studios.

Features special guest Mick Hazelman (The Hazelman Brothers) on electric guitar and backing vocals.

The song was inspired during a 2012 tour of Czech Republic when Pete was playing all his favourite songs to a friend and realised after a few hours that all his favourite songs were sad, and that for him, happiness is indeed a sad song.

No instruments were harmed in the making of this track.

Hey guys, thanks for the support, and for those of you who asked here are the lyrics...Don't it make you shiver when you're left out in the cold,Don't it make you wrinkle when your body's growing old,Don't it make you tired when you're out at work all day,Don't it leave you homeless when you can't afford to pay,Don't it make you lonesome when your lover goes away,She might come back tomorrow but she isn't here today,Don't it make you thirsty when your river's running dry,Don't it leave you mournful when you have to say goodbyeDon't it make you happy when the music sounds so sad,Don't it make you angry when the government goes bad,Don't it make you thoughtful when you watch the skies above,Don't it make you thankful when your heart is full of love.Folk on, Pete
