To Be Happy is a haunting musical experience; Vian Izak’s voice blends seamlessly with Juniper Vale, the multimedia project of Nashville-based musician Sarah Jane Wood.
Their vocals float effortlessly over a gentle piano melody, creating a minimalist yet emotionally rich soundscape.
Izak and Wood’s performances convey complex emotions through subtle vocal nuances.
Their voices intertwine with a raw honesty that cuts through any pretense.
It’s the musical equivalent of 3 AM confessions, when guards are down and truths spill out.
Listening feels almost voyeuristic, as if we’re tapping into the innermost thoughts we usually keep buried.
The lyrics grapple with life’s challenges head-on, addressing inner turmoil and fear while offering comfort and support.
This balance of acknowledging pain while reaching for joy gives the song its emotional depth.
This collaboration between Izak and Wood produces something truly special.
To be happy stands out for its genuine emotion and artistic innovation.
As part of Vian Izak’s larger “where do we end up when life goes on?” project, to be happy serves as both a standalone piece and an entry point to a broader artistic vision.
The innovative use of AI in creating accompanying visuals and an immersive world adds depth to the listening experience without overshadowing the music itself.
To be happy isn’t trying to solve all of life’s problems in three minutes and thirty seconds.
Instead, Vian Izak and Wood offer something rarer: a moment of genuine connection.
It’s music for those quiet moments when you’re staring out the window, wondering what comes next.
This track doesn’t promise happiness; it simply acknowledges the search and gently suggests that maybe, just maybe, we’re not as alone in that journey as we sometimes feel.
Give it a listen, and you might be surprised at the conversations it starts—with others or with yourself.

Vian Izak x Juniper Vale To Be Happy Lyrics
I don’t want to lose you to the wind
but the storm in your heart is pulling you in
I don’t want to see those big tears
and all of your thoughts filling with fear
I will hold you be the firm foundation
Cry I’ll hold you be the still and patient
I just want to feel you like the wind
Let the rush of your touch cover my skin
I just want to laugh til we see tears
Let the dreams that we dream chase out the fear
So I will hold you be the firm foundation
Cry I’ll hold you be the still and patient
’cause I love you and I want you to be happy
to be happy
