Marshmello & Bastille's 'Happier' Music Video Will Definitely Make You Cry

25 September 2018, 15:29

Marshmello & Bastille have premiered the official music video for 'Happier' and it's the cutest thing we've seen all year.

The video stars iCarly actress Miranda Cosgrove and a totally adorable, Labrador puppy.

The pup is the sweetest little pooch and follows Miranda around, helping to cheer her up.

However, there's a sad twist in the clip that reflects the deeper meaning behind the song.

"When Bastille sent me happier for the first time, I was taken aback," Marshmello tweeted.

"As I listened to the song more and more, it reminded me of so many thing I've been through in life; toxic relationships, letting go of things I didn't want to, and just situations where happiness came with a sacrifice."

"Recently, I lost my best friend, my companion, my life long friend. I wanted this video to embrace the pain that we feel losing or sacrificing something and the cycle of life that comes with it," he said.

Marshmello & Bastille - Happier Lyrics:

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

When the morning comes
When we see what we've become
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
Every argument, every word we can't take back
'Cause with all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that the story ends

Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I want to raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave

Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

When the evening falls
And I'm left there with my thoughts
And the image of you being with someone else
Well, it's eating me up inside
But we ran our course, we pretended we're okay
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
Far away from the wreck we made

Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I want to raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave

Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Even though I might not like this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier

Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I want to raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave

Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
