The Happiness Project

So I found this on Spin and thought this was just an unbelievably cool idea. So Charles Spearin of Broken Social Scene and a couple other bands, started this little thing called The Happiness Project. 
From Spin:
Over the past few years, Spearin has collected recordings of interviews with his Toronto neighbors on the subject of happiness. After close examination, he discovered that each speaking voice carried a natural melody and rhythm. So he overlaid the interviews with an array of instrumentation -- from saxophone to glockenspiel, guitar, and drums -- for The Happiness Project, recorded with collaborator Ohad Benchetrit, along with BSS co-founder Kevin Drew and contributing members Evan Cranley (Stars) and Julie Penner (Do Make Say Think).

Supercool. CLICK HERE to stream or download the song for free.
