Very very good single, basically a double A side single with my kind of scene.

The 2 bsides are very worthwhile, nature boy hails back to the early powderfinger sound a bit with great riffs and powerful guitars.

Odyssey #1 demo is an amazing song in its own right, another earlyish sounding tune but with a new maturity.

Overall very worth getting.

Tracks for this cd are

1. My happiness
2. Passenger
3. Odyssey #1
cd rom with my happiness video

Only worth getting if you really want the video, otherwise stick with the AUS version.

This single is excellent overall. I give it four stars because Powderfinger show off their wonderful knack for crafting the best b-sides on the planet, but it's minus the star because I don't know how to give it 4.5 and because they made it a double-A side which isn't very cool. They are the best b-sides band that I know of and I love singles. "Nature Boy" is a well-done piece with a guitar line that is worthy enough to note. Overall, probably the tune that could've substituted for "Like a Dog" on the album and is the bonus track on the Japanese version.
"Odyssey #1 (demo)" is one of the best Powderfinger b-sides they have ever done. Absolutely rocking. The opening is magnificent, great guitar line submitted here and the acoustic accompanment gets me every time. The swirl of sounds to the final rock out is BRILLIANT. Not to mention the lyrics and vocals (Bernard sounds like he's got a cold). Listen up.

My Happiness and My Kinda Scene (featured on the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack) are two of Powderfinger's best ever songs. They just keep getting better and better. My Happiness is a simple, yet effective acoustic led love song, while My Kinda Scene builds to an unforgettable climax. Good value package, but in the context of their new album "Odyssey Number Five" these songs become even more meaningful. A must buy.
