Twenty-seven years after R.E.M. recorded a song about Shiny Happy People, George Ezra laid down this track about Pretty Shining People. Me and Sam in the car, talking 'bout America Heading to the wishing well, we've reached our last resort The tune was penned by Ezra on Scotland's Isle of Skye after a taxi driver started talking about America.
Ezra talks about feeling alone in a changing, turbulent world before switching to a more positive lyrical content on the chorus. Hey pretty smiling people, we're alright together We're alright together According to Ezra, the lyrics of the track are "all about us being better together. The world is a better place when we love each other."
