[edit] Versions
A slightly different mix of the song was released on his album Figure 8 in 2000.
On Figure 8, the track is labeled as "Happiness/The Gondola Man" due to the short instrumental that plays after "Happiness" ends. On the single, an entirely different instrumental follows the song. The instrumental that follows on the single is a reversed clip of "Take a Fall", a song recorded in Smith's early duo called A Murder of Crows. This song shouldn't be confused with other Smith songs "Taking a Fall" and "How to Take a Fall".
On early recording reels, the song was labeled as "Tom's Start".
An acoustic version of "Happiness" appears on the 3 Titres Inedits promo album.
[edit] Additional personnel
Jon Brion sings backup vocals on "Happiness".
