Anderson, Jon - Makes Me Happy Lyrics






Who was it said that you could never get too happy
Who pulls the strings that they don't know
Who was it said that days would come when you were lonely
They don't know, they don't know, they don't know, they don't know, they don't know

Just ask the question was it love and not for money
The fact it gets there just the same
I'm only guessing that the people were not ready
For the love, for the love, for the love, for the love of the game

Just to be who you are makes me happy
Just to be where you are makes me feel so good inside
Just to be who you are makes me happy
Makes me happy, just wait and see

Never think about the days you didn't get the message
I guess the more you see the news
Just try to get there when the good news gets you ready
It can help, it can help, it can help, just singing the blues
It can help, it can help, it can help, just singing the blues

Just to be who you are makes me happy
Just to be where you are makes it all worthwhile
Just to make love to you feels so good inside
Feels so good inside, make me feel so good, so good, so good

Who was it said that this is not a rehearsal, let it be so true
It is the first day of the rest of your life
I wish we said "let's make love not war", you see anything's possible
'Cause they don't know, well they don't know

Whoever dreamed that peace would come to every city
Whoever dreamed that we could see so clear
Whoever counted on the blessings of the children
To be there, to be loved, to be there, to be loved
To be there, to be loved, to be there, to be loved
To be there, to be loved, to be there, to be loved evermore

    from Vangelis to that ... What a journey !!

  10. A.... F....

    Jon seems like hearing the song first time :)

  11. l.... ....

    Saw Jon live on this tour. Oh my goodness, his voice! Crystalline and pure....and he was having throat problems! Boggles. The Yes arrangements were brilliant and most stayed asethically pleasing paying homage to the original recordings and musicians. My girlfriend who wasn't that enthusiastic at 1st ended up saying it was one of the best shows she has ever seen! Amen!

  12. t.... S....

    That's it!
    I'm going to forsake my metalhead life for happy music from now on: )

  13. G.... C....

    The simple fact of seeing someone so happy makes me hope the best for our race.

  14. t.... S....

    Wow, hope I'm that enthusiastic at 49 years young.....like Jon apparently is!

  15. K.... B....

    Jon are you getting taller? ❤👣👍

  16. B.... P....

    Love it! Thanks Jon!

  17. D.... ....

    Love him

  18. A.... D....

    First time I’ve ever seen anyone waving an Accrington Stanley scarf in a pop video. That made me smile. Jon still has an East Lancashire burr in his accent, which also makes me smile. (I’m a fellow Accringtonian.)

  19. P.... J....

    Mr Awaken makes us Happy. Mr Happy makes us Awaken.

  20. A.... C....

    Good Morning And Most Sincerely, I Love You Jon*8

  21. L.... ....

    NOW WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!!

    What kind of Corny-ASS, SESAME STREET Piece OF SH...

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

  22. P.... U....

    It's great to see Jon still going strong and looking so positive after all these years. The last time I saw him perform was 2003 in Singapore. Does he still get over to watch Accrington Stanley? I've heard that the fans chant, "As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain," when Accrington are passing the ball from one side to the other.

  23. S.... ....

    Very Cool. The Progressive Rock God at Work.

  24. J.... B....

    Y'all are good at what you're doing you've chosen all kinds of music I really like for my list and I appreciate that!

  25. E.... W....

    Love you so much, Jon. <3 Keep shining your magical light on this world!

  26. I.... E....

    Happy birthday Jon.♥I hope you had a happy day with your family. God bless you.

  27. m.... h....

    Happy 75th birthday Jon !!! 🌞 ...your music makes me happy...🌞🌞🌞

  28. R.... 8....

    “Don’t worry, be happy”

  29. r.... ....

    The level of cringe we project into this is directly proportionate to the level of codependency and attachment we have toward suffering in general 😉

  30. t.... ....

    Here's a LOOK at this ''bloke'' in one of his earliest videos! l _Flipped my Gourde_ over this Group!!! YES ''Then'' ~ 1971 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W10qiXqlvo8

  31. p.... d....

  38. C.... W....

    Paul McCartney wishes he wrote this song.

  39. K.... ....

    Un Ángel 😍😍

  40. J.... C....

    Nice job kids

  41. C.... S....

    Divine🤣😁😍

  42. H.... C....

    Headline: LOCAL MAN, GET'S IT, JUST MAKE OTHERS HAPPY. You did and I am very thankful. Thank you for waking me up and for the light! HC

  43. R.... B....

    I had so wanted to buy the original 1000 hands CD, but it is already out of stock... can anyone advise?

  44. j.... d....

    Not happy

  45. T.... R....

    Love this brilliant musician. Beauty of a track Mr. Anderson, and so true on the lyrics, in many ways.! Oh yeah, before i forget, vibes and respect from Germany. Oh by the way, thought i bookmarked it on my wishlist on Amazon. Unfortunately i can not find the "1000 hands" on your EU Amazon profile. Will we at least be able to get a digital download version of the album for purchase? I am honestly not willing to pay 60 $ plus taxes, letting you ship it from the US. Vinyl is actually my prefered media.

  46. B.... A....

    omg, Jon you are so cool! I have been a fan since 1971. I'm 60 now and still enjoy your music....and your message! thanks for that.

  47. S.... A....

    Thanks Jon for another uplifting song. Love "All God's Children" too!

  48. R.... W....

    Jon has more responsibly to music than this

  49. R.... W....

    This has nothing to with YesMusic - worse than Rabin - Doesn't even illustrate Jons angelic voice - What gives here?

  50. H.... C....

    I just want to make everyone happy, too. I agree emphatically. Thank you for making me belong to something enlightened.

  51. C.... ....

    You’ve come a long way Jon.

  52. s.... ....

    I think what most people are leaving out of this is that fact that his DAUGHTER helped him make this. It's so much more wholesome that way

  53. K.... F....

    A playful joyous song and video, loved it.

  54. E.... ....

    This is every song Jon ever sang in one. And you true fans know it. The maestro

  55. E.... ....

    You’re the best Jon! I love you!

  56. E.... S....

    I love you, Jon! I listened to you in Yes and ABWH and your solo work in my adolescence and I grew to incorporate the sound of your voice to magic and the supernatural. No matter what was going on in my life, good or bad, I could listen to you and feel comforted and happy. You kept me afloat during so many rough patches in my life. Even now! I still listen to you to remind me that things will all be okay. <3

  57. T.... M....

    I have Chagall and The Sky and His Shadow as well as those mentioned. Have a great new album.

  58. D.... D....

    I hope a member of Yes is watching and 'discovers' this guy. he could fit right in with them!

  59. K.... ....

    I’m not a big fan of this song but it’s the first Jon Anderson song that I can understand without smoking a big bag of weed.. Not sure the weed helped either.

  60. s.... ....

    May you live to be 1000 years-old, Jon Anderson!! The ultimate YES man :)

  61. C.... J....

    What a fun video. Jon looks to have enjoyed himself while making this video.
    🙂😃

  62. c.... h....

    I dare you to name someone who always looks happy like Jon
    I wanted to hate this for being so corny... but I can't help smiling and feeling good with Jon 😅
    It makes me happy to know, that Jon Anderson has a greenscreen as crappy as mine.

  63. J.... S....

    If this doesn't make you happy, then I don't know what will.

  64. D.... ....

    Truly pathetic.

  65. G.... C....

    So good to hear you singing again Jon! Keep being happy:)

  66. D.... L....

    Jon has same voice from 1967

  67. L.... V....

    We need more things like this.Thank You!!

  68. c.... d....

    great but . . . get a shave

  69. S.... ....

    I love you Jon!!!

  70. r.... l....

    Great video Jon

  71. R.... T....

    Queremos a Jon Anderson

  72. u.... r....

    OMG What is this ? it´s like a sunday evangelical video... Ok , it´s not bad, is... different, some kind of "don´t worry be happy" with a big prog rock star!

  73. G.... R....

    At last, i feel that Jon has returned to that easy going, free and happy spirit that seemed to be missing from other recent recordings. I can say without a doubt that I have held him great admiration since 1975 when i saw him on the Relayer Tour with YES. From there I saw him perform with YES over 100 times. i also collected his solo works, Olias, Short Stories, etc,.. but he really conveyed who was in Song of Seven, Animation and City of Angels, and I AM HAPPY to see him return to that style here. Thanks for reading.

  74. G.... W....

    umm.. nice song, but his own voice-over doesn't seem to fit the video. Or him. Weird.

  75. B.... C....

    Checking out Big Bear in California having a wonderful time with my son and his future wife. I been enjoying Jon's music all my life

    B.... C....

    Been enjoying Jon's music all my life

  76. H.... ....

    Whoever disliked this video sucks

  77. S.... ....

    Only Jon Anderson can get away with writing corny optimistic songs

  78. M.... R....

    Candy understand yes without him

  79. B.... �....

    i co sie tak cieszysz dziadu

  80. l.... ....

    Happy it is!

  81. D.... C....

    I love that Jon is just having pure true fun letting it all be what it is

  82. A.... M....

    God love jon, so wonderful, what a great future, tat pat

  83. R.... J....

    I love Jon and Yes, but we're going to just ignore the imposition of the "Star of David" on the image of the Pentagon at 3:07? And right after he says "make love not war?" Why can't these elites just leave well enough alone?

  84. H.... R....

    Jon wow I love you thank you so much this was so beautiful blessings to you for bringing the magic and the sparkle into music

  85. I.... ....

    I see this as a tribute to Jon's fans... Bravo... I love this guy!

  86. N.... N....

    "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."

  87. A.... A....

    Thanks so much Jon! You're the best!

  88. B.... M....

    Love it.

  89. L.... o....

    Lovely Jon, the happiest voice on Earth.

  90. c.... l....

    I love it!! :D thank you Jon, for helping heal this world

  91. j.... m....

    reminds me of fill your heart tiny tim lol !!!

  92. C.... L....

    How does Jon always make me smile?

  93. S.... A....

    Lip-syncing may not be Jon's thing, but happiness is!

  94. D.... G....

    Jon is great forever and ever, he makes me happy

  95. R.... H....

    Cute and quirky. Love it. His music is always so different and creative.
