The latest from Billy Dodge Moody is a folk meets pop rock song about losing a friend to a heart attack when he was a teenager. "Meaning to Disaster" sees the Boston singer-songwriter laying his emotions bare on a song that, while deeply emotional, is surprisingly upbeat and uplifting. This is a truly beautiful song that was originally written in 2021 that shows the effects of a deep loss twenty years later. As a tribute, it's an amazing and impactful one. Even if you listen without paying attention to the lyrics, the sense of loss will still be felt. Moody has something special with "Meaning to Disaster."

Billy Dodge Moody says of his latest single:

“It’s about the shock and confusion that comes with losing someone so young, and how that moment made me confront the brevity, chaos, and randomness of life The song grapples with the idea that life itself is inherently chaotic, and our purpose is to find a way to make sense of why we're here – giving it some sense of purpose in the very short time we have.”
