Emma Driver cover of Happily Forever Now wip 12feb26
Theo suggests Double Bass. Hmm. Cello? Nada?
Don't want to gild the lily. Emma's voice has a remarkable genuineness and fragility to it, don't wanna over power.
Also not strictly my choice but i guess I kinda gotta follow the producer vibe.
Separately, considering this as a version of the song versus the original, I kinda think this is a verrrry strong incarnation. There's much to recommend it over the original. Scooooore.
I reckon we can get too bombastic, too 4/4. Theo says he likes things to swing more. less 'white'. Fair cop gov.
I also think there's more in the songs than we can get out sometimes, for production or other reasons. The phrase that comes to mind is that there's 'more juice in the orange' it's that we might not have the tools for the thought, so when I see stuff take flight i go oh yeaaah that's what I meant to do ;)
This one's a pearler.
I reckon this goes out as an Emma D. single as her own thing, maybe heading towards her own EP.
