Joy
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
The unofficial king of 'Happy Pop' Andy Grammer's 2022 hit "Joy" takes listeners through his experience of navigating many different emotions before finally finding joy and its life changing effect. The song is a gospel-influenced stomp powered by a strong floor tom groove. It features a brief tenor solo right leading into the final chorus. Perfect for any performance occasion, it also makes a great comp show closer!

Me and fear, we had a thing in 1993 Told me I was wasting time with all these silly dreams I dated doubt, she knocked me down every time I tried But I found joy in my life Sorrow swept me off my feet in 2009 I took long walks on the beach next to the oceans that we cried And grief, she came and overstayed way longer than I'd liked But I found joy in my life I found joy and she opened up my eyes It gave me wings and halo rings and taught me how to fly Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, I feel like a million lights I found joy in my life Got me like, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-oh-oh I found joy in my life Got me like, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-oh-oh I found joy in my life And there were days I did not know If she would pack her bags and go But that's my girl forever though And she knows, she knows Pressure pushed me to the edge, she worked me to the bone And jealousy, she lied to me, said I needed things I don't Shame, she had a way to make me hate myself inside But I found joy, I found joy I found joy on the loneliest of nights I bought a rock, I tied the knot, I'm making her my wife Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, I feel like a million lights I found joy in my life Got me like, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-oh-oh I found joy in my life Got me like, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-oh-oh I found joy! (Andy Grammer)
