Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)

TV performance by Sheryl Crow on 2 Meter Sessions in 1996.

=====================
About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy, started in 1987. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

I have always liked the maturity of this singer. A real woman. No fuss.

[DavosSeaworth]

Every time I hear this song i get the same feeling as I did like the very first time.
If we discover a time machine, I look forward going back to 96'.

In the meantime, this is as close as it gets. <3

[michaeltrevino]

I sabotaged and ruined every relationship I've ever been in. Failed at loving some great women, the way they deserved.
I play this song to myself after every relationship ends. I sit and wonder why I let myself do it every time even though I hurt so much.
I am my own worst enemy.
I deserve to be alone.

[amandawilson]

Wow! I love her singing the last verse of the song in her higher register. 😶

[russellwaters]

Dessa banda, só restou o guitarrista.

Does anyone know where people could have accessed 2 Meter Sessions recordings outside of Europe/the Netherlands in the days before YouTube? I guess I'm asking...where could a person have bought the CDs (DVDs?) outside of NL, where people obviously knew about the recordings from TV?

At least we all can see them now...a great gift.

Awesome stuff, thank you so very much for sharing!

I been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searchin', through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, okay, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn't been there before?
I come 'round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again
Well, okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now, everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
