Opening with an acoustic melody that instantly lights a fire and warmth inside you, Jay Wood hurls into “oh well” with a spring in her step and a merry outlook to the world around you. Listening to this on a gloomy monsoon day, I can’t help but find things to admire and positivity to be found even in the most dismal of moments. There’s a warmth and honesty to the song that shines through in her songwriting, a sincere simplicity that undercuts a more pained history and past. Her story is one of resilience, re-invention, and recovering from a moment of stark adversity that’s bound to inspire you into doing something remarkable.
It’s a soulful and melodic tune that’s bound to keep you inspired and in tune with your inner self. “oh well” keeps you grounded and inspired in more ways than one. It’s merry, heartfelt, and warm in the best of ways. Jay Wood’s earnestness as a songwriter makes it more than worth your while.
