They&#8217;re not happy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AV tells it like it is, he asks us all to look deep inside and consider whether we&#8217;re truly happy or not. The &#8220;things&#8221; we do aren&#8217;t enough to give us what we really need; the &#8220;stuff&#8221; we surround ourselves with don&#8217;t give us the pleasure we need, we crave &#8211; things that &#8220;give you a buzz that you can take home&#8221;. We need to ask ourselves, &#8220;am I happy?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A happy song can help lighten our mood &#8211; and &#8216;Are You Happy?&#8217; certainly goes some way to doing that &#8211; but it also challenges us to consider what we&#8217;re doing, and to find a way to be truly happy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Philomena, who also provides backing vocals, directed the clip, and she&#8217;s packed it full to the rafters with colour and fun. AV and Philomena are cruising through the day at their own leisure, in phone booths, in golf carts (playing golf even), on the wharf, down the highway in a jeep. Are they happy? It definitely seems so, and it seems, for them at least, the key is in loving yourself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_93950\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5xqEGaf3R1g?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"AV Super Sunshine - Are You Happy (Official Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/5xqEGaf3R1g\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find AV Super Sunshine on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.AVSuperSunshine.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AVSuperSun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We touched on AV Super Sunshine&#8217;s latest release &#8216;Are You Happy?&#8217; the other day, so this will be more about the video for the single.
