Smile Because You’re Sad will hopefully make even the shittiest day feel a little better.

I wrote this single after getting off the phone with a long-time friend in 2014.

I was in the crux of severe depression and was having difficulty finding (in retrospect, expressing) my voice.

This song has been performed by Coyote Cyanide, Goodness Gracias, and Mohaynow.

This particular version was recorded by Goodness Gracias at Cloudland Recording Studio in 2022, Joe Tacke engineering. I overdubbed piano at home, voice with Peter Weirenga, then Ricky Williford and Todd Pipes finished off the production process mixing and mastering, respectively.

We all hope you enjoy this production!
