Singled Out: Billy Dodge Moody “Good Things”

 

There is a buoyant joy to the swaying chords of Billy Dodge Moody’s tune. A pleasant nature in his voice dots each line of his new tune “Good Things”. Ring chords and bolstered up harmonies hit in the chorus, driving, pushing and pressing the tune to the next break. There is a refreshing positivity embedded in those lines. A summertime jam for good vibes and sunny days.

What About It: “It’s essentially about self-honesty and the time and patience it takes to find who it is you truly are, while at the same time wondering if being true to yourself will bring you good fortune. A lot of the inspiration stemmed from years of impulsive decision-making as a result of what I felt other people wanted instead of doing what felt natural to me, and how that level of self-deception was holding me back or leading me to places I felt I didn’t belong – spiritually and professionally.”
