We Happy Few Official Soundtrack is the official compilation of music and songs composed and performed for We Happy Few by various artists.
It was released partly on vinyl in the Time Capsule collector box, with seven out of the eight songs by The Make Believes and four music tracks. A digital edition containing the complete soundtrack with the exception of the cinematic tracks and the eight songs was released on the Gearbox Store on August 1st, 2018.
This edition also contains ringtones based on voice lines and SFX, a lyric sheet for The Make Believes songs and wallpapers. [1] The Make Believes' song "I Wanna Stay the Same" [2] is free to download on the game's official website. [3] The songs by The Make Believes were also released on digital music stores such as Deezer, Spotify, iTunes or Google Store. [4]
Composition[]
The seven 60s timely songs by the Wellington Wells band The Make Believes were created and performed by four musicians from Montreal, Canada:
- Murray A. Lightburn - Lead Vocals, Guitar, Bass (The Dears)
- Brad Barr - Lead Vocals, Guitar (The Barr Brothers)
- Andrew Barr - Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals (The Barr Brothers)
- Patrick Watson - Lead Vocals, Keyboards
The gameplay and atmospheric score was composed by Nicolas Marquis, while Jon Licht [1] and Darren Fung composed the cinematic scores. The sound design was made by Valentino Lercher.
The music for the game was made using the Moog Modular and the Vox Continental, a synthesizer and organ (respectively) that were introduced in the early 1960's, both of which were used by bands such as The Beatles, The Doors, The Animals, and Rolling Stones.
"I Have Seen Everything" was composed by Murray A. Lightburn. It only appears in the Lightbearer DLC.
Track List[]
Do note that some tracks may be louder or quieter than others.
A majority of the tracks also had to be recorded during gameplay due to some of the audio files being inaccessible, with some needing minor edits to match how it sounds in the game. The recorded audio was provided by SamIsNotHere69, and audio files that have been found were provided by Dr Mystery Burns, Takeyourjoymam, and RANDiERAN.
Most tracks do not have official titles, and will be indicated by a * before the title.

- Some of the music is actually slowed down versions of other music that's used elsewhere, such as the Parade and Hippo Club ambiance. Artists usually do this to save time.
