Story Behind The Song
The song was written around the sound effect that became the main synth riff in the chorus. Since the sound evokes The Matrix, the rest of the song was built to accent that feel. The speech in the middle was to redirect the song's aggression toward a positive energy.
Song Description
Percussive intro, layered. Background synths are distorted and hyper, while main synth is aggressive and punchy. Beat is four-on-floor based with various embellishments in the chorus. Mid section contains spoken words, effected to sound like a loudspeaker.

Lyrics
Ok, listen up. There's too many reasons to cry in this world - Too many elections, too many pop stars, too many deaths, not enough money to go around, and certainly not enough kindness. But today, right now, these things mean nothing. Today, we celebrate. We celebrate though there might not be anything worth celebrating. We celebrate because sometimes you just need to party. So leave your problems at the entrance, pick them up on your way out if you wish. But right now, nothing is wrong, and it's time to get your happy on.
