Happiness Is Easy (released on 19 May 2006) is the eighth studio album by Polish alternative rock band Myslovitz. The album overlooks Skalary, mieczyki, neonki's psychedelic soundscapes and returns to sounds of 1999's Miłość w czasach popkultury and 2002's Korova Milky Bar in the first and second half of the album respectively.
The title of the album is taken from the name of the first track on Talk Talk's album The Colour of Spring. Further reference to new wave music is found in the title of track seven, which references Talking Heads (but, also or even more probably, to Krzysztof Kieślowski's documentary movie from 1980 - "Gadające głowy"(Talking Heads).
The songs make multiple references to recent news stories at the time of recording, and so, "Książę życia umiera" is about George Best's "Don't die like me" message. "W deszczu maleńkich żółtych kwiatów" is notable as the first Myslovitz song to feature a female vocal, with Maria Peszek singing in duet with Artur Rojek. "Ściąć wysokie drzewa" refers to the Hotel Rwanda movie - the title translates as "cut down tall trees" - a coded message broadcast by Hutu-friendly TV stations, starting the Tutsi massacre.
