Little Joy is a rock band that was formed in 2007. It was formed by the drummer from The Strokes Fabrizio Moretti, and two other people. They’re also one of my favorite bands, for many reasons including that their music is just happy. They have only put out one album in their history as a band, seeing as they are both in other musical groups. I started listening to Little Joy because my brother showed me some of their stuff, and it just naturally appealed to me. I didn’t start listening to them right away though, for a little while I forgot about them. It was then that my brother and I were talking to my aunt, and we started talking about music. He brought up Little Joy, and she knew who they were, and I then remembered how much I had liked their music. The first song that I heard by them was The Next Time Around, this song is still one of my favorites by them. It was about the middle of the summer when he showed them to me, and anytime that I was feeling a little down, I would just listen to some of their music.
My favorite thing about Little Joy is that their music is so happy, and easy to listen to. Listening to their music can be very uplifting for me. When I listen to their music I have never gotten sad, or just felt a little negative which is nice. My two favorite songs by them are The Next Time Around and Don’t Watch Me Dancing. I love The Next Time Around because it’s a very happy song. I don’t even need the lyrics for the song to make me happy, just the Mexican guitar in it sounds so cheerful. One of my favorite parts in the song is when they start singing in Portuguese, now I know what you’re thinking, most likely that I’m stupid. I used to hate listening to music that was in a different language, I just didn’t get how it was appealing, especially since you don’t know what they’re saying. However, it took this song for me to not mind it as much, I think I just love the girl’s voice who starts singing, and then when Fabrizio starts singing too. Just the contrast of their voices going together sounds so pretty and I love it. It took a little while for me to start liking Don’t Watch Me Dancing just because it’s a very slow song. I wasn’t used to music like that when I first heard it, but I gave it a chance, and I eventually started to like it. I have realized that one of my favorite things about the song is that it is so slow, and quiet, yet it still is able to carry itself without being boring. I also really like the woman in the group’s voice, it is very soft and elegant. Once again this song is uplifting just like their other stuff. Although I like The Next Time Around the most, Don’t Watch Me Dancing is still a good song. If you’re looking for some happy music, then listen to the songs posted below. Hopefully you find it as easy and pleasing to listen to Little Joy as I do.
