About Any Emotions

"Any Emotions" is a single by American band Mini Mansions, featuring Brian Wilson. Released on January 13, 2015, it is the second single released in promotion for the band's second LP The Great Pretenders. Wilson's involvement came after bassist Zach Dawes connected with him during the recording of No Pier Pressure. According to Dawes: "We got along great and I went straight to Vox Studios from that session where the boys were doing vocals for ‘Any Emotions.' As they got into harmonies Brian's name came up kind of as a pie in the sky idea. I followed up with him and sent him a rough cut of the song. Then that rare moment occurred where the idealised version of something becomes a reality and Brian Wilson served up an endless helping of apple pie a la mode. We are forever grateful for his presence, genius, and generosity." In interviews, the band has explained the song is a reference to singer Michael Shuman's struggles with Asperger's Syndrome.

Beautiful creature
Head in the sand
I stand at the alter
Cry on command

Ooo you could be happy
But I don't understand any emotions

Negative Nancy (negative Nancy)
High in demand (high in demand)
The cards on the table (the cards on the table)
I'll show you my hand (I'll show you my hand)

Ooo you could be angry
But I don't understand any emotions

Down on the corner
Nothing to lose
Man out of order
Just bad news

Ooo you could be lonely
But I don't understand any emotions

Any emotions

Any emotions

Any emotions

So happy
So happy
So happy
So happy
You sound
You

So happy
So happy
So happy
So happy
You
