about

Sometimes I think “Any Old Fashioned Way” (2020) is about me. Sometimes I think it’s about the worst characteristics of humans AND me. I like that it has two bridges, because it’s tough enough to write one. The drums are a little atypical. That’s not because I’m good at programming drums, it’s because I’m bad at it and I just do what sounds right even if it isn’t. Garret Hammond (drums) says it's fun to play parts written by non-drummers. I’ll take fun over excruciatingly frustrating I guess.

lyrics

They might be right, it seems like things just happen
You think it's a sign, it's just a big distraction
For keeping you off your game
In any old fashioned way

How long have you pretended to be in the right mind?
You lie about pills, and you lie about crime all the time

Can you put off a day when you're facing disaster?
Can you hang on till fate calls you faster down your own hill?

They might be right, it seems like things just happen
You think it's a sign, it's just a big distraction
For keeping you off your game
In any old fashioned way

You scream and you cry till your face turns crimson
The way it looks to me, well it's your decision anyhow

Why cut me with a knife when you can easily throw it?
Say the magic words before you totally blow it all again

Fumbling forward, now on your way back
Before you can speak take your time and relax
You chased down a dream, you didn't feed it enough
It slouched out to die when the going went rough

Why stab in the dark when you've got no reason to ever climb out again?

Preparing to die by your own incision, not a great way to begin
Not a great way to begin

They might be right, it seems like things just happen
You think it's a sign, it's just a big distraction
For keeping you off your game
In any old fashioned way

about

Jason Moody image

Jason Moody Chicago, Illinois

"Local musician Jason Moody has been riding the periphery of the Chicago indie scene for years, and I think he deserves a lot more attention than he gets. He's a songwriter who crafts well-structured pop songs, which makes them ripe for covering (check out Daniel Knox's cover of "Halcyon Days"). Moody has a way with melody and hooks. He's also got a lovely voice."
