about

The guitar on "We Wish You Well" (2020) is tuned down so a E chord is actually a C chord, making for a sadder sound. “Cancel the play, it’s gonna be a downer…” It’s no surprise most of the album was written in 2020. Furloughed from work and self-quarantined. Only leaving the house for occasional groceries in a tight-fitting respirator.

This is my interpretation of the sound of Morrissey being backed by The Band. I'll leave that there.

lyrics

Cancel the play, it's gonna be a downer
That's just not what the people paid for

You're born for the stage, you're not some shrinking flower
Well, just what did you think was in store?

And we wish you well, and your guarded mind
In your own sweet time

A mountain of prayers repeated every minute
It's that old familiar battle cry

You're looking for love, you'll never know you're in it
With whatever creeps up from behind

And we wish you well, and your guarded mind
In your own sweet time

And we wish you well, be it blessing or curse
Or whatever comes first

Back on defense when you're out on a limb
Write whenever it's grim, through the thick and through thin

The season appears to ring from every tower
From the corners we paint ourselves in

The reason appears for whiling away the hours
It's the power to give and give in

And we wish you well, and your guarded mind
In your own sweet time

And we wish you well, be it blessing or curse
Or whatever comes first

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."
