The first, rough version of this song appeared at the end of the Youtube only version of 2021’s LOFI CHRISTMAS IV (https://fanlink.to/LOFICHRISTMASIV) - it was a last-minute flash of inspiration and the stand-out moment for many. This year I remastered and finished the song, adding piano and pells and remixing and remastering it, before making it available on to download and stream wherever you like to download and stream (https://go.meaningwave.com/THEMANANDTHEBIRDS).
For the remastered version of this song, I also remastered the music video - I edited footage from Raymond Briggs' classic The Snowman, ran that through my CRT television and two of my favorite glitch boxes, spent some time dialing in a variety of looks and effects, then edited the resulting footage, and used AI to upscale it ...

What is your definition
Of happiness?
A clear horizon
Nothing to worry about
On your plate
Only
Things that are creative"
