Chris: ‘There’s two songs for you – the first is called ‘Happy’ and it’s a song about acceptance and growing and understanding. I feel very fortunate that, following a lot of ups and downs throughout my thirties, things have actually turned out pretty good now I’ve hit 40. It’s taken a lot of work, and more importantly a lot of support from lots of people around me, and I guess that’s why I wanted to do it as a giveaway. Someone asked me yesterday how I felt about turning 40, and I have to say it isn’t phasing me at all, I think because I am just in a really good and happy place, and just generally excited to see what is coming next.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘The second song is called ‘Dreams’, and it’s a bit different. I like them both equally in different ways, and I hope you do too.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, as ever!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n The video is HERE<\/a> – please share it about on your Facebooks and your Twitters and your everything elses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As this is Chris’s 40th birthday, there are a strictly limited – to 40, natch – copies of the handwritten lyrics to ‘Happy’ over on the EM MusicGlue page<\/a>. Please note, these can’t be bundled with any other orders (because they are sent out separate from the other EM stuff).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Credits for both songs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All music and words written by Chris Catalyst. In Eureka Machines news – we had a rollicking good time with Terrorvision<\/a> the other night and are looking forward to getting out on the road a bit more in the Spring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you as ever. It’s our Chris Catalyst’s birthday today (February 11th), and he’s done a couple of solo-project-style songs for you.
