Interesting, although not unsurprising, that the album was still known as 'Welcome To Happiness' at the time when this film was being made.

Welcome To Happiness is a much better name.

I totally agree.
I can't think why they changed it unless they (Independiente) thought it as being too 'ironic' or 'sarcastic'.
Or maybe they didn't think the song itself was strong enough to be a 'title track'.
Certainly 'Welcome To happiness' sounds like Stina's idea of a good title where as 'This Is Stina Nordenstam' sounds more like a record companies idea of a good title.

Typically, Stina's strongest album gets the weakest title. Ironic that? :mrgreen:
