The original idea of Pond was to be able to get anyone they wanted to play whatever they wanted in a collaborative musical project. Their first album was released soon after in January 2009, titled Psychedelic Mango, which contained many psychedelic rock and pop elements. Their second album, Corridors of Blissterday, was completed live with an eight piece band in five days, and released in June 2009.

Happy Cow Farm Family
Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't seem to go somehow
I live underground, I sleep on the floor
I wake up thinking someone knocked me down
Money makes you forget now
Contented as a pregnant cow
A glow on your face, a clock in your womb
Please sit down, sit and stay
Watch the rainstorm miles away
I'm glad you came, I've said that twice
But I don't mean the things I sometimes say
You're not truthful, you're not chaste
You stayed over, yeah, that's great
You never could wait for long
I tried to redraw what you erased, yeah
Happily on greener laws
Happy cow farm family
Happily on greener laws
Happy cow farm family
You get out of my house
We can't make up, we can't make out
Bend my finger back until
It feels like the last time I kissed your mouth
Happily on greener laws
Happy cow farm family
Happily on greener laws
Happy cow farm family
Happily
Happily
Happily
Happy, yeah
The lyrics of Pond's song "Happy Cow Farm Family" are a mixture of conflicting emotions and themes. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that while the person they are addressing is moving forward and achieving their goals, the singer feels stuck and unable to move forward themselves. The lyrics "Money makes you forget now, contented as a pregnant cow" suggest that the person they are addressing has become complacent because of their success while the singer is still struggling to make ends meet.
The second part of the song sees the singer inviting the person they are addressing to sit down and watch the rainstorm, saying that they're glad they came, but then admitting that they don't really mean the things they're saying. The lyrics "You're not truthful, you're not chaste" suggest that the person they are addressing has been dishonest or unfaithful, and the singer is resentful because of it. However, the song ends on a somewhat upbeat note with the phrase "happily on greener laws", suggesting that there is still hope for a happy ending.
Overall, "Happy Cow Farm Family" is a complex, layered song that explores themes of jealousy, resentment, happiness and hope. The lyrics are cryptic and open to interpretation, which makes the song intriguing and thought-provoking.
