about

“The Thickest Thieves” (2017/2020) describes a couple of exiles inextricably bound together with nowhere left to go. The first half of the song was good, the second half was awful for years until a friend gave me her homemade theremin. I can’t play it like you should, but experimenting with it helped advance the stormy instrumental second half. Violist Stephen Cecil is featured here along with cello harmonics by Gabriel Hammond.

lyrics

Sugar spun trails line the high flying moon
Winding over us
I alone choose the road I like
Holly's got a room

She'll go and prove every song is named for you
I won't deny what is true
But something is turning the wheel to the sun
There's no sense in fighting it now

We were the thickest thieves
With the world our sworn enemy
Drowned in bad company
Crossed our hearts, but we lied
We were the thickest thieves

I'm wide awake in a double wide dream
Cursed by the winds on the sea
I dive for pleasure at the heart of high tide
I'm dragged down beneath

I can assure you poetry like this
But nobody's killed for it
Climb over Holly, the vodka's run out
I saved you a seat

Holly she lies in the garbage we'd find
Hallelujah the blues

She said, "You'd make a better machine,
I promise that much to you."

We were the thickest thieves
With the world our sworn enemy
Drowned in bad company
Crossed our hearts, but we lied
We were the thickest thieves

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."
