"Would You Be Happier?" is a single by Irish band The Corrs, released in 2001, taken from their album The Best of The Corrs, released a few weeks later.
Track 3 was omitted in some versions.
The enhanced version includes the promo video.
A bit like "All The Love In The World", but rather more extreme, this video lets the Corrs play with their roles. The basic concept of the video is that some ill-advised record company managers want the band to change their image. So they can be seen as some kind of Destiny's Child clone, in a KISS-like glam rock outfit and finally as some scary trash punks. All three concepts go horribly wrong, and the Corrs themselves are seen laughing at the results being played to them on the TV. Finally, the Corrs then do an acoustic run-through of the song as themselves, with all the crew members applauding them after they have finished. Jim takes this as his cue to leave the set, leaving Andrea forlorn.
Did you ever wonder where the story ends, and how it all began,
I do (I do, I do, I do, I do)
Did you ever dream you were the movie star with popcorn in your hand,
I did (I did, I did, I did)
Do you ever think you're someone else inside,
when no one understands you are (you are)
And wanna disappear inside a dream but never wanna wake, wake uuuuuup
Then you stumble on tomorrow, and trip over today
[Chorus]
Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine (gonna be just fine)
Are you not afraid to tell your story now,
when everyone is done it's too late (too late, too late)
Was everything you've ever said or done not the way you planned,
mistaaaake
So you promised that tomorrow, be different than today
[Chorus]
Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine
You're gonna be just fine
So don't worry baby
You're racing for tomorrow, not finished with today
Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think you're gonna be just fine
Would we be happier if we were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if we played a bigger part
Would we be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think we're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine
Don't worry baby
Gonna be just fine
Don't worry honey
Gonna be just fine
Don't worry baby
Gonna be just fiiiiine
