Float Forever Lyrics

Float Forever

Peace vocalist Harrison Koisser told NME: "It's the only really dark song on the album. I wrote it late at night on a bridge. Weird."

The band were intent on finding the perfect click for this song. Said Koisser: "I will always stand by the clicking sound before the second verse on 'Float Forever.' We spent one complete day with me flicking every switch I could find."

Money Lyrics

Money

This song finds Harry Koisser asking, "Money, do you need it?" while referencing the digital currency bitcoin. He told NME about the citation of the fashionable peer-to-peer payment system: "I wasn't searching for a relevant reference," Koisser said. "It just came out when I was writing. I wasn't like, 'Oh, I gotta write about something current,' otherwise I would talk about horsemeat. Which isn't on the album, unfortunately."

Harry Koisser was determined not to write a love song or a song about himself, which is when the money theme struck him. "I realized I wasn't born into it, and I still don't have it," he said. "As a song it just seemed to work. It's not negative, bitter or whiney."

The song was debuted live at the band's Shepherd's Bush Empire shows in December 2013.

The music video was directed by Ninian Doff, with the band making a cameo as Wall Street bankers.

Harry Koisser came up with the track while the band was on tour in Australia. Working with Logic Pro software, he started with a drum loop, then added some chords. He then called up the virtual keyboard on the program and mashed his hands on it, which created a surprisingly interesting sound.

The band recorded this song at SARM Studios in London in what was going to be a rehearsal of the song. When their producer, Jim Abiss, heard them working on it, he had them record the drums. This went well, so they kept going and recorded the whole song. This was a nice treat for the record label, who got the song ahead of schedule and decided it should be the first single.

This was the first song Peace recorded for Happy People. The lyrical content was inspired by their surroundings when they were touring America. "I had an English teacher who used to bang on about the American Dream the time - Death of a Salesman and all that - then you realize when you're in the US what it's all about," Koisser explained to NME. "I'm not, like 'Money's evil' but it causes a lot of problems."

This seven-minute funk odyssey finds Harry Koisser semi-rapping about his arresting appearance, before his brother Sam launches into a bass solo. The frontman told NME that the band spent nearly all the money they had to make the Happy People album recording this one track. "We blew nearly all our budget on this song, which we recorded in two parts," Koisser explained. "We got carried away - strings and everything. I can't really remember what kind of state of mind I was in when I wrote it, but I like the way it came out."

O You Lyrics

O You Song Chart

Peace frontman Harry Koisser revealed to NME that Happy People opening track "O You" is a "statement of intent."

"When we recorded it, we we like 'that's what a track eight should sound like'," he said. "Then we realized it was an opener, because it's our statement of intent. I wrote it in Holloway, London, and it's about observing the world; about the human world interrupting the natural world and forcing a state of decline."

NME asked Koisser if the song is a reference to Peace's comparisons with '90s British bands like Suede, Blur and The Stone Roses. "I guess, probably," the frontman replied. "We were being compared to all these bands I'd never heard of. But I also spend so much of my time thinking about what was better. Does it even matter? It's actually in the past. Why do we care so much?"

"Earlier today, I looked on Insty [Instagram] and it was like being back in the '90s," Koisser continued. "'The '90s were great' – was it that good? Was there Insty? Was there emoji? No there wasn't. I always used to be so Peter Pan about growing up. Literally to the point where people hated me because I was so immature. I don't feel like an adult right now."

Vocalist Harry Koisser penned this song when Peace was on tour in Australia. He was feeling lonely at the time. "Everyone was out and I was staying in and writing in hotel rooms," he told NME. "I wanted to write a love song that was more twisted about infatuation."

The title track of Peace's second album, this was penned by Harry Koisser on tour in Australia. He told NME: "You can tell from the atmosphere of it that it's not a happy song – it's not like Pharrell's 'Happy.'"

Producer Jim Abbiss recorded the drums for this song onto vinyl, then taped the turntable playing the drums. According to Koisser, this was for "a bit of analogue warmth."
