A friend once got me an incredible video sampler from the label NETTWERK, featuring songs from the label’s impressive roster. Among the terrific songs was a sentimental pop tune called “You’re In A Mess”, by a group called Falling Joys.
From Wikipedia: Falling Joys was an Australian alternative rock band formed in Canberra in 1985. They were composed of lead singer Suzie Higgie, guitarist Stuart G. Robertson, bass guitarist and vocalist Pat Hayes, and drummer Pete Velzen.
In this particular video, Pat Hayes is singing the lead, and Suzie Higgie is singing the chorus, so I thought the group was fronted by a guy. I was in for a surprsie when I picked up their accompanying album Wish List, and found all the other songs were sung by Suzie!
Despite the title, the song is a bright and rather optimistic song, and the video is full of flowers and pastel colors, a really sunny clip!
