My Happy for the Day: "Sweet Disposition"

The first time I heard “Sweet Disposition” by The Temper Trap, I was mesmerized. Listening to singer Dougy Mandagi’s angelic voice, I fell in love with the song; it didn’t hurt that his voice reminds me a bit of the late, great Jeff Buckley‘s. Dougy’s voice, the lyrics, the beautiful music — they all add up to this wonderfully sweet, deceptively simple song that thrills me each time I hear it. The lyrics are barebones and straightforward, yet they manage to convey so much about the moments we cherish and are impacted by throughout our lives, making it instantly relatable — an impressive songwriting feat. Listening to this beautiful song simply makes my heart sing.

Lyrics:
Sweet disposition / Never too soon / Oh, reckless abandon / Like no one’s watching you

A moment, a love / A dream aloud / A kiss, a cry / Our rights, our wrongs / A moment, a love / A dream aloud / A moment, a love / A dream aloud

So stay there / Because I’ll be coming over / And while our blood’s still young / It’s so young / It runs / And we won’t stop until it’s over / Won’t stop to surrender

Songs of desperation / I played them for you / A moment, a love / A dream aloud / A kiss, a cry / Our rights, our wrongs / A moment, a love / A dream, aloud / A moment, a love / A dream aloud
