Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello there.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
My friend Spring is stretching itself into summer, and I'm
so thankful the warmer, brighter days get me outside, taking
long walks, working in my greenhouse, out in my gardens,
and taking my mind off the things that tend to
worry me. How about you? What do you do with
(00:26):
your light filled evenings? Are you a d y? I
are a do it yourself or a gardener a nature lover.
Do you spend your weekends at the ball or soccer fields,
playing or watching whatever it is you're doing. I hope
you're out and about, stretching your legs and filling your
lungs with the sweetness of living. If you're looking for
(00:48):
a source of positivity, my guest today can provide a
good dose of that. He's a singer songwriter. We play
a lot of his songs on the Delilah radio program.
It's been over twenty years since he came upon the
scene with his two thousand and two album Waiting for
My Rocket to Come, which contained the huge hit single
(01:09):
the remedy I Won't Worry. Many of my listeners made
it their anthem, tattooed the chorus line on their hearts.
I won't worry My life Away. He followed up with
seven more albums, more hits, More Positivity, and a couple
of Grammys. I'm Yours, make it Mine Lucky, I Won't
(01:30):
give up.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Have It All?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Which is your favorite Jason Mora's song Mine, Well, It's
gotta be Love Someone from his twenty fourteen album Yes.
Jason is with us today to talk about his latest album, Mystical, Magical, Rhythmical,
Radical Ride, released on June twenty third. He's calling it
(01:55):
an album about personal expression, acceptance, and time travel. I
can't wait to hear what all that means. Let me
share a little bit about one of today's podcast sponsors
with you. Then we'll say hello to Jason Moraz and
get caught up with him. Mercy Ships has been transforming
(02:16):
lives for over forty years. Many people in our world
have no access to healthcare, and as a result, they
must endure pain and suffering. But with the support of
volunteers and donors, Mercy Ships can go to these communities
and perform free surgeries, surgeries that help mothers see their
(02:38):
babies for the first time, surgeries that allow little boys
and girls to run and play. They change lives through
the work they do. Now, thanks to the launch of
the Global Mercy, the first custom built hospital ship of
its kind, they can help even more people. The Global
(02:59):
Mercy is projected to serve one hundred and fifty thousand
patients over the next five decades. Four year old Amatu
from southern Senegal was the first to receive surgery on
the Global Mercy. Born with one windswept leg and one
bowed leg, he missed out on so many things kids love,
(03:20):
but thanks to the treatment he received from Mercy Ships,
Amatu can't wait to run around with his friends, and
he dreams of all that lies ahead. Learn more about
mercyships at mercyships dot org. Hi Jason, Hi, how are you.
I almost got a chance to meet you.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh my god, when you were in waitress. Oh shucks,
that would have been nice. Did you go to the show?
But we just didn't see each other backstage.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I went to the show a couple of times, and
I didn't think to let my people know, to let your.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
People know, to blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, And so I was the goofy fan in the aisle,
you know, at the end of the show, standing up
and waving Jason high high, like, okay, crazy wow woman
there in the waving. But what a fun show.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That was a thrill for me. Yeah, what a fun show.
I felt like I was doing Saturday Night Live eight
times a week.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It was wonderful. Yeah, even though your character was kind
of a jerk.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, I like to think of it as it's a
show of adults behaving badly.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, you're adult behaved badly, but you were adore
a ball.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah yeah, I just kind of got swept up in
the chart and their charm, you know, so, doctor Palmonter,
who can blame him?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Who could blame him? Who could blame him? Since I've
kind of been an adult behaving badly more than once
in my life, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, let's not give that up. Though.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Let me introduce you with me on Love Someone Today.
I have a man who wrote a song called love Someone,
and I don't know why it's not my theme song.
Jason Moras welcome.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Thank you, Delilah. Well, it's a quiet song. It's kind
of a whispy, whispery song. It doesn't really like.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
My show is kind of a wispy whispy.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's very true. Yes, you have a very soothing voice
and love Someone as a very soothing song. Yeah, so
you could always give it a spin for a weekend
and see how it feels, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But the name of my book is love Someone Today.
The name of you know, the theme of my show
for the last thirty years has been take some time
to slow down and love someone.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh. I love that, because when you love someone, it
all comes back to you.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And when you love someone, you change the world.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah you do. Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And according to your music, you're kind of on the
same page.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Are totally I believe.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So you've got some fun music that we can talk
about today.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Great. I was dancing down to the.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Studio after listening to here a little dance tune there.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, I've got a couple of dance tunes on the
way with this new album.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Tell me about the name of the new album because
my listeners are gonna have to write this down.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Okay. The album is called Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride. Okay, that's kind of a mouthful, dude.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It is. But you know, to say life would be
too short, I can't believe that life we only get
one syllable, So I have to say mystical, magical, rhythmical, radical, ride,
because that's what this life is. It's so mystical, magical, rhythmical,
and radical.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, so let's start with the first mystical. What's the
most mystical mind bending thing that you've experienced the last
couple of years?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Ah? Sucks. You know, I'm always going to have to
come back to music with my answers, because music is well,
I could probably put that in the magical category as well.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
We're going to get there, We're going to get there,
but we're talking about the mystical, the unexplainable, the spiritual.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
The gosh, that's a big question.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You're the one on the ride, You're the one who
put it out there, so I get to ask most
mystical moments?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Wow? Wow, Yes, stump me with probably what should be
the easiest question.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
All Right, we're going to go We're going to come
back to that magical, magical moment, the most magical moment
in the last couple of years for you.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
M So for me there, I like to think, and
I get this from Bruce Springsteen, but he calls his talent,
he calls his songwriting He calls it his magic trick
when he picks up his guitar and this thing that's
his magic, and I so relate to that. Sitting down
piano picking up a guitar.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Ukulele, Is that the right way to say it? Not ukulele, ukuleleklee?
I just learned something new, Yeah, kule.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So any instrument that you can strike, right, which is
any instrument maybe except a brass instrument. You're really breathing
into that instrument, right. But when I connect with an instrument,
it reveals the sound. It's almost as if you can
see the sound come out of it. You can, and
(08:41):
it reminds me that sound is always there, these sound
waves or is there? We just need to strike something
and to resonate with these sound waves. I just think
there's so much magic in music. So play a chord
on an instrument, you hear the harmonies, and suddenly something
awakens inside of me that wants to sing or dream
(09:02):
out loud. And that's how songs are born. For me.
It's the alchemy of music, to go from silence to sound,
to go from nothing on a page to see a
whole forest of words carved out on a page.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
When I listen to your songs, I don't just see
or hear the forest on the page. I see a story.
You're a storyteller.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, I've got maybe three or four minutes with a
listener inside of a song, and so you definitely have
to take them on a journey in case that's the
only four or five minutes you're ever going to get,
you know, And there's you know, the intro is the setup.
Welcome to this landscape, this world, where we going? What
(09:47):
message are we trying to reveal that's already in your
heart that you're just going to be reminded of through
this song? And that's the joy for me of songwriting
is telling some kind of story that the listener already knows,
you know, and we just get to retell it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And you tap into that and then that's where the
mystical and the magical come together.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, maybe that's the mysticism is the hey already knew this,
already had a sense of this, and now here it
is outside of me. You know. It's almost the like
astrology isn't news that's outside of it. It's intuition. It's
it's data that meets our intuition and it's like, wait
a minute, already knew this, and the stars are telling
(10:32):
me the same thing. I'm mystified, see perfect perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Just took us a second to realize that. Now, what's
the next part? Radical mystical, magical.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Rhythmical, rhythmical, rhythmical, rhythmic. Ah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The dance video you released, Yes, dance, you got the moves?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Hey? Thanks, Like I only have one dance move.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It was the nineteen seventies, you know, Yeah, yeah, I
just got one maybe two.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The hustle, Oh, I could.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hustle back in the day, but I kind of the
hustle slowed down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Rhythmical you got the rhythmical in your dance video.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, the rhythmical and actually, you know, we just made
a roller skating video. It's going to come out in June.
What with which song? It's called feel good too. All
of your music feels good to me, Jason, Thanks, But
all of your your music is very uplifting, Like, yeah,
(11:35):
you you bring it to a higher place. I like that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, that's the radical, that's the radical, radical joy. You
bring us radical happiness.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, you know, there's dare I say, there's a lot
of suffering in this world. And it's easy to see that,
find it, hear it, feel it. We're always reminded of
all different versions of it. And so as an artist,
I first create to make myself feel good, to give
(12:08):
myself some sense of ease in this world. And if
I can have a true transformation in songwriting and I
get uplifted by that, then that's what I'm going to
take to the stage, or that's what I'm going to
try to record for an album. Because it worked for me,
It became musical medicine. That worked for me, and I
want to share that same experience with others, with people
(12:32):
who like to listen to music.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That should be everybody, I mean, who doesn't like to
listen to music, right?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, that would be a very lonely life. I think
that would be like a life just in black and white.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I was about to say the same thing, A life without.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Color, a life without color, A life without music, would
be a life without color, or a life with only
one dimension where you could never see or touch more
than one dimension. Because yeah, music I believe is the
language of the angels. For me, that's the mystical. I
truly believe that music is the language that God gave
(13:11):
to the guardians that watch over us. That's lovely and
we get to partake in that, just like you were saying,
you know, astrology is information that's there. It's just the
stars confirming what our heart already knows. Music is that
two way conversation between us.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
And the divine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, And you've got such a gift of music. So
tell me about this new album. This magical, mystical, rhythmical, fantastical.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yes, mythical, masterful, whimsical, wacky ride. It's you know, I'm
forty five now. I never thought i'd be, and luckily
music keeps me young. I still feel like a kid.
I think music has kept me. The mysticism of music
(14:15):
has eased suffering. As I said, you know, music really
does help me suffering, and I think I combat stress
with music, and so I think that's maybe helping me
age gracefully.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But I still feel like I put on the years inside.
You know, I'm aware of the journey that I've been on,
and so when I sit down to write new music,
I can't help but think about time. And that's really
what this new album is about. It's looking at the
ride through life with gratitude, accepting where I've been, accepting
(14:51):
my failures and whatever happened in my past, and still
dreaming and still optimistic about the future, still feeling like
I'm just getting started.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You are just getting started.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
The best is yet to come. Yeah, As somebody who's
a few decades ahead of you, I can tell you
the best is yet to come.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I believe that.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And your music is just going to get better and
better because the more life experiences you have, the more
places you go, the more you're going to be able
to bring that to life for us.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Thank you, And I'm starting to get a glimpse of that.
You know, when I look back at earlier records, it
sounds like, you know, a twenty something, you know, searching,
figuring it out and taking a lot of guesses and
filling space to just filling space with twenty something extracurricular thoughts.
And now where I am today, you know, I try
(15:46):
to be a little more thoughtful with my lines and
feel a little bit more wisdom and life experience coming
into that picture, which is exciting and comforting.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So you were talking about how dark the world can
be and how music lifts us out of that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Do you have.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like a a place you go do you go into
your studio? Do you have a place you go in
your heart or your mind when you want to tap
into something that brings you joy that you can share
with others.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I have many ways I get to do that, luckily
as a creator, to feed the creator or to please
by creator. I should say I've put keyboards and pianos
in almost every room of my house. So if I'm
on the front porch and i have an idea of
a piano on my front porch, I've got a little wurlitzer.
(16:42):
In the kitchen, I've got a beautiful seventies Roads piano,
just warm and buttery roads. In the bedroom, you know,
that's where the magical music gets made. And so I
always so I just and guitars hanging everywhere, and nuku
lele is hanging everywhere, because I just want to be
able to grab an instrument if I have the inspiration
(17:04):
or the idea. And similarly, I've made sure to wire
my home so that I have speakers everywhere. And it's
not bluetooth. We have hardwired music coming right off the
turntable piped all over the house. Because if I'm not playing,
like literally playing music. I like to spin records and
(17:28):
DJ music throughout the day or the evening and constantly
discover music or revisit old songs that just move me
in old sounds. I love seventies music the most because
I just think it was the best, you know, something
about the instruments and how music was recorded. Even it
was just the right combination of warmth and discovery and
(17:54):
exploration as well. It's like such great music. So I
feed my my love of music constantly. If I'm not
playing it, I'm I'm spinning it and streaming it.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And I hear you also like to garden, Is this true?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I love gardening very much, like I don't get out
much unless I'm touring. So I travel from like my
kitchen door to the studio which is right in my backyard,
and just the little walk from the kitchen to the
studio is a portal, like I've I've created an archway
(18:31):
of cottage roses, so you have to actually go through
the portal, beautiful little portal of cottage roses which which
which flower year round in California, which are really quite amazing.
And then a whole variety of this that and the
other here and there in the backyard. So yeah, I
love gardening.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Sounds like you do have a magical mystical life. You've
got gardens, You've got a portal of roses, You've got
you work at home out of your studio in your backyard.
You've got a piano on your front porch. Yeah, this
is a magical, mystical life.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That you have. It is created so lucky.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
That's not luck. Luck is when you, you know, find
a shiny penny on the ground that is incredible talent. Ah, thanks,
blessed by uh higher power. I believe that is infusing
you with goodness and the ability to look at life
with gratitude and a hell of a lot of hard work.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Oh thanks. I do feel all of those. I feel grateful,
and I feel sourced. And that's what gives me the
excitement and motivation and constant inspiration to sit down and
write another song and try it again and try again,
to get lost in that process where where my gratitude
(19:52):
unravels on the page and I get blessed with another
musical experience.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Do you actually physically write the stuff by hand?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I do. I love that.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Very few people do that. Anymore I do.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So I usually I always have a notebook close by,
usually sitting on the piano or right next to me,
and it's part of a daily practice. But I usually
start by improvising on like just singing. Just let me
sing the song, make me an instrument, I'm yours and
out comes something and it's usually something that's close to
(20:29):
my heart or whatever I'm living through at the moment.
And then once I start singing, I quickly grab my
pen and I just start writing down the things that
I'm saying, and then I edit later. I just try
to write as many verses as possible and then edit later.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Sweet. Yeah, So in your own life right now, going
through some of the best times, dark times, like what
is the music speaking to?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hopefully not dark times, but you know, in the last
couple of years, I did go through another breakup, I
lost a step fother, I lost two cats. My mom
just survived cancer. She's been going through it. We got
news this morning that she's in remission, thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So you just sounded like every caller I get all
night long.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
By the way, Yeah, there, you know, I've I've got
I'm human, and I've got my share of dark stuff,
But at the same time, I'm going through some of
the best of times. I feel so blessed to be
where I am on the planet and at the age
I am and with surrounded by the friends and musicians colleagues,
(21:49):
and the songs that we've created for this new album
and the fun videos we're making right now, I feel artistically,
I just feel like like I'm just getting started, and
that feels one wonderful.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I can't wait to see the roller skating one.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Should you should have called me?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, I know, had you only known.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
What city are you in?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I live outside of Seattle.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh okay, but I'm okay. We're going to come up
there in July. If you want to go for a
roller skate. I always have a skates with me.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I found on eBay a thirty year old pair of
Classic the leather lace up like classic roller skates. They
fit my feet like a glove. It's like we were
fit to be. Yeah, I can't wait to see you.
Oh thanks, And I was so thrilled when I saw it.
(22:42):
Like I said, when I saw you and Waitress, you
were absolutely adorable and the play was wonderful.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I loved that show. I felt like being on a
I felt like I was on vacation. I really did.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I am so fortunate to be able to have these conversations,
and more fortunate still that I have such amazing podcast
sponsors that make it all possible. I recently sat down
with the president of Bigelo Ta, and yes, her last
name is Bigelow. She shared with me all the special
ways the Bigelow family has been blending teas for over
(23:20):
seventy five years to make them so flavorful.
Speaker 1 (23:24):

O W bigelow dot com. So do you have any plans?
Do you have any hopes of going back to Broadway?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, I will say yes, I don't have a plan
at the moment, but I am keeping my heart open
to receive another phone call one day.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, I'm hoping a producer makes that phone call. Because
you were magical on site.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, I loved it. I loved not having to make
a set list every night, and I loved not worrying
about what I was going to have to wear or
any or any of my banter. I was hired to
be a vehicle for their story, you know, to deliver
the lines and sing songs, sing the songs which were
(25:02):
beautiful songs, and be a part of that cast. And
that felt so great. It was so different than what
I normally do in music. So it felt like a vacation.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Well, it was part of my vacation, and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. So I would love to see you back
on stage.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'd love to do it again.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And I look forward to the mystical, magical, rhythmical, fantastical.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Close enough ride rideical, maragical, there you go, morasmical.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, Oh, this has been fun. Thanks, Delilah. It's nice
talking to you today. Nice to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Let's do this again, Okay, if folks want to come
and see you this summer, I'm going to come and
see you. If folks want to come and see you,
how can they do that.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We are on the road from mid July through mid August,
starting in the Portland area and outside of Seattle, that's
Chateau saw Michelle Winery, and then heading down the West
coast across the country, up through Chicago and then down
to Florida. And then we finish our tour with the
New York Pops in New York City. So we're on
(26:17):
tour for a month this summer.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That is going to be a crazy month.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
It's a crazy month. But that's what we in the
circus like to do. We like to put all of
our friends, bands, musicians on a bus and our amazing
crew who helped build our show every day.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
How many buses is in your tour normally.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
We are we are four. It takes two buses to
get all of the band around, and it takes two
buses to get all the crew around.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Wow, and how many semis full of your equipment?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Good question? I don't know exactly yet. I think it's three,
but it could be four. That's the tour managers. It's
a it's a convoy. Yeah, it's There's no other gig
quite like it. It's pretty special. The only thing is
I miss my cat while I'm gone. The cat doesn't
go on the bus. No, I'd hate for my cat
to get off in Cleveland and then not get back.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And then not get back on you. That would be
a bad thing. All right, Thank you, Jason, have a
wonderful tour, and we will talk to you soon.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
All right, wonderful, Thank you so much. By bye, see
you on the skating rink. I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Jason is now a seasoned positivity provider. He's not naive.
He's not saying the world doesn't dish out its fair
share of trials, tribulations, grief and despair. He's saying, stay
focused on the light, keep your head up, keep your
heart open, keep your feet dancing. That's the remedy he
(27:48):
prescribes to battle the blues. Find all the information on Mystical, Magical, Rhythmical,

Hello there.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
My friend Spring is stretching itself into summer, and I'm
so thankful the warmer, brighter days get me outside, taking
long walks, working in my greenhouse, out in my gardens,
and taking my mind off the things that tend to
worry me. How about you? What do you do with
(00:26):
your light filled evenings? Are you a d y? I
are a do it yourself or a gardener a nature lover.
Do you spend your weekends at the ball or soccer fields,
playing or watching whatever it is you're doing. I hope
you're out and about, stretching your legs and filling your
lungs with the sweetness of living. If you're looking for
(00:48):
a source of positivity, my guest today can provide a
good dose of that. He's a singer songwriter. We play
a lot of his songs on the Delilah radio program.
It's been over twenty years since he came upon the
scene with his two thousand and two album Waiting for
My Rocket to Come, which contained the huge hit single
(01:09):
the remedy I Won't Worry. Many of my listeners made
it their anthem, tattooed the chorus line on their hearts.
I won't worry My life Away. He followed up with
seven more albums, more hits, More Positivity, and a couple
of Grammys. I'm Yours, make it Mine Lucky, I Won't
(01:30):
give up.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Have It All?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Which is your favorite Jason Mora's song Mine, Well, It's
gotta be Love Someone from his twenty fourteen album Yes.
Jason is with us today to talk about his latest album, Mystical, Magical, Rhythmical,
Radical Ride, released on June twenty third. He's calling it
(01:55):
an album about personal expression, acceptance, and time travel. I
can't wait to hear what all that means. Let me
share a little bit about one of today's podcast sponsors
with you. Then we'll say hello to Jason Moraz and
get caught up with him. Mercy Ships has been transforming
(02:16):
lives for over forty years. Many people in our world
have no access to healthcare, and as a result, they
must endure pain and suffering. But with the support of
volunteers and donors, Mercy Ships can go to these communities
and perform free surgeries, surgeries that help mothers see their
(02:38):
babies for the first time, surgeries that allow little boys
and girls to run and play. They change lives through
the work they do. Now, thanks to the launch of
the Global Mercy, the first custom built hospital ship of
its kind, they can help even more people. The Global
(02:59):
Mercy is projected to serve one hundred and fifty thousand
patients over the next five decades. Four year old Amatu
from southern Senegal was the first to receive surgery on
the Global Mercy. Born with one windswept leg and one
bowed leg, he missed out on so many things kids love,
(03:20):
but thanks to the treatment he received from Mercy Ships,
Amatu can't wait to run around with his friends, and
he dreams of all that lies ahead. Learn more about
mercyships at mercyships dot org. Hi Jason, Hi, how are you.
I almost got a chance to meet you.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh my god, when you were in waitress. Oh shucks,
that would have been nice. Did you go to the show?
But we just didn't see each other backstage.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I went to the show a couple of times, and
I didn't think to let my people know, to let your.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
People know, to blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, And so I was the goofy fan in the aisle,
you know, at the end of the show, standing up
and waving Jason high high, like, okay, crazy wow woman
there in the waving. But what a fun show.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That was a thrill for me. Yeah, what a fun show.
I felt like I was doing Saturday Night Live eight
times a week.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It was wonderful. Yeah, even though your character was kind
of a jerk.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, I like to think of it as it's a
show of adults behaving badly.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, you're adult behaved badly, but you were adore
a ball.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah yeah, I just kind of got swept up in
the chart and their charm, you know, so, doctor Palmonter,
who can blame him?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Who could blame him? Who could blame him? Since I've
kind of been an adult behaving badly more than once
in my life, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, let's not give that up. Though.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Let me introduce you with me on Love Someone Today.
I have a man who wrote a song called love Someone,
and I don't know why it's not my theme song.
Jason Moras welcome.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Thank you, Delilah. Well, it's a quiet song. It's kind
of a whispy, whispery song. It doesn't really like.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
My show is kind of a wispy whispy.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's very true. Yes, you have a very soothing voice
and love Someone as a very soothing song. Yeah, so
you could always give it a spin for a weekend
and see how it feels, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But the name of my book is love Someone Today.
The name of you know, the theme of my show
for the last thirty years has been take some time
to slow down and love someone.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh. I love that, because when you love someone, it
all comes back to you.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And when you love someone, you change the world.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah you do. Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And according to your music, you're kind of on the
same page.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Are totally I believe.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So you've got some fun music that we can talk
about today.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Great. I was dancing down to the.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Studio after listening to here a little dance tune there.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, I've got a couple of dance tunes on the
way with this new album.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Tell me about the name of the new album because
my listeners are gonna have to write this down.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Okay. The album is called Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride. Okay, that's kind of a mouthful, dude.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It is. But you know, to say life would be
too short, I can't believe that life we only get
one syllable, So I have to say mystical, magical, rhythmical, radical, ride,
because that's what this life is. It's so mystical, magical, rhythmical,
and radical.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, so let's start with the first mystical. What's the
most mystical mind bending thing that you've experienced the last
couple of years?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Ah? Sucks. You know, I'm always going to have to
come back to music with my answers, because music is well,
I could probably put that in the magical category as well.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
We're going to get there, We're going to get there,
but we're talking about the mystical, the unexplainable, the spiritual.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
The gosh, that's a big question.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You're the one on the ride, You're the one who
put it out there, so I get to ask most
mystical moments?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Wow? Wow, Yes, stump me with probably what should be
the easiest question.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
All Right, we're going to go We're going to come
back to that magical, magical moment, the most magical moment
in the last couple of years for you.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
M So for me there, I like to think, and
I get this from Bruce Springsteen, but he calls his talent,
he calls his songwriting He calls it his magic trick
when he picks up his guitar and this thing that's
his magic, and I so relate to that. Sitting down
piano picking up a guitar.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Ukulele, Is that the right way to say it? Not ukulele, ukuleleklee?
I just learned something new, Yeah, kule.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So any instrument that you can strike, right, which is
any instrument maybe except a brass instrument. You're really breathing
into that instrument, right. But when I connect with an instrument,
it reveals the sound. It's almost as if you can
see the sound come out of it. You can, and
(08:41):
it reminds me that sound is always there, these sound
waves or is there? We just need to strike something
and to resonate with these sound waves. I just think
there's so much magic in music. So play a chord
on an instrument, you hear the harmonies, and suddenly something
awakens inside of me that wants to sing or dream
(09:02):
out loud. And that's how songs are born. For me.
It's the alchemy of music, to go from silence to sound,
to go from nothing on a page to see a
whole forest of words carved out on a page.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
When I listen to your songs, I don't just see
or hear the forest on the page. I see a story.
You're a storyteller.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, I've got maybe three or four minutes with a
listener inside of a song, and so you definitely have
to take them on a journey in case that's the
only four or five minutes you're ever going to get,
you know, And there's you know, the intro is the setup.
Welcome to this landscape, this world, where we going? What
(09:47):
message are we trying to reveal that's already in your
heart that you're just going to be reminded of through
this song? And that's the joy for me of songwriting
is telling some kind of story that the listener already knows,
you know, and we just get to retell it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And you tap into that and then that's where the
mystical and the magical come together.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, maybe that's the mysticism is the hey already knew this,
already had a sense of this, and now here it
is outside of me. You know. It's almost the like
astrology isn't news that's outside of it. It's intuition. It's
it's data that meets our intuition and it's like, wait
a minute, already knew this, and the stars are telling
(10:32):
me the same thing. I'm mystified, see perfect perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Just took us a second to realize that. Now, what's
the next part? Radical mystical, magical.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Rhythmical, rhythmical, rhythmical, rhythmic. Ah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The dance video you released, Yes, dance, you got the moves?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Hey? Thanks, Like I only have one dance move.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It was the nineteen seventies, you know, Yeah, yeah, I
just got one maybe two.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The hustle, Oh, I could.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hustle back in the day, but I kind of the
hustle slowed down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Rhythmical you got the rhythmical in your dance video.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, the rhythmical and actually, you know, we just made
a roller skating video. It's going to come out in June.
What with which song? It's called feel good too. All
of your music feels good to me, Jason, Thanks, But
all of your your music is very uplifting, Like, yeah,
(11:35):
you you bring it to a higher place. I like that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, that's the radical, that's the radical, radical joy. You
bring us radical happiness.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, you know, there's dare I say, there's a lot
of suffering in this world. And it's easy to see that,
find it, hear it, feel it. We're always reminded of
all different versions of it. And so as an artist,
I first create to make myself feel good, to give
(12:08):
myself some sense of ease in this world. And if
I can have a true transformation in songwriting and I
get uplifted by that, then that's what I'm going to
take to the stage, or that's what I'm going to
try to record for an album. Because it worked for me,
It became musical medicine. That worked for me, and I
want to share that same experience with others, with people
(12:32):
who like to listen to music.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That should be everybody, I mean, who doesn't like to
listen to music, right?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, that would be a very lonely life. I think
that would be like a life just in black and white.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I was about to say the same thing, A life without.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Color, a life without color, A life without music, would
be a life without color, or a life with only
one dimension where you could never see or touch more
than one dimension. Because yeah, music I believe is the
language of the angels. For me, that's the mystical. I
truly believe that music is the language that God gave
(13:11):
to the guardians that watch over us. That's lovely and
we get to partake in that, just like you were saying,
you know, astrology is information that's there. It's just the
stars confirming what our heart already knows. Music is that
two way conversation between us.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
And the divine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, And you've got such a gift of music. So
tell me about this new album. This magical, mystical, rhythmical, fantastical.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yes, mythical, masterful, whimsical, wacky ride. It's you know, I'm
forty five now. I never thought i'd be, and luckily
music keeps me young. I still feel like a kid.
I think music has kept me. The mysticism of music
(14:15):
has eased suffering. As I said, you know, music really
does help me suffering, and I think I combat stress
with music, and so I think that's maybe helping me
age gracefully.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But I still feel like I put on the years inside.
You know, I'm aware of the journey that I've been on,
and so when I sit down to write new music,
I can't help but think about time. And that's really
what this new album is about. It's looking at the
ride through life with gratitude, accepting where I've been, accepting
(14:51):
my failures and whatever happened in my past, and still
dreaming and still optimistic about the future, still feeling like
I'm just getting started.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You are just getting started.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
The best is yet to come. Yeah, As somebody who's
a few decades ahead of you, I can tell you
the best is yet to come.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I believe that.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And your music is just going to get better and
better because the more life experiences you have, the more
places you go, the more you're going to be able
to bring that to life for us.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Thank you, And I'm starting to get a glimpse of that.
You know, when I look back at earlier records, it
sounds like, you know, a twenty something, you know, searching,
figuring it out and taking a lot of guesses and
filling space to just filling space with twenty something extracurricular thoughts.
And now where I am today, you know, I try
(15:46):
to be a little more thoughtful with my lines and
feel a little bit more wisdom and life experience coming
into that picture, which is exciting and comforting.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So you were talking about how dark the world can
be and how music lifts us out of that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Do you have.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like a a place you go do you go into
your studio? Do you have a place you go in
your heart or your mind when you want to tap
into something that brings you joy that you can share
with others.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I have many ways I get to do that, luckily
as a creator, to feed the creator or to please
by creator. I should say I've put keyboards and pianos
in almost every room of my house. So if I'm
on the front porch and i have an idea of
a piano on my front porch, I've got a little wurlitzer.
(16:42):
In the kitchen, I've got a beautiful seventies Roads piano,
just warm and buttery roads. In the bedroom, you know,
that's where the magical music gets made. And so I
always so I just and guitars hanging everywhere, and nuku
lele is hanging everywhere, because I just want to be
able to grab an instrument if I have the inspiration
(17:04):
or the idea. And similarly, I've made sure to wire
my home so that I have speakers everywhere. And it's
not bluetooth. We have hardwired music coming right off the
turntable piped all over the house. Because if I'm not playing,
like literally playing music. I like to spin records and
(17:28):
DJ music throughout the day or the evening and constantly
discover music or revisit old songs that just move me
in old sounds. I love seventies music the most because
I just think it was the best, you know, something
about the instruments and how music was recorded. Even it
was just the right combination of warmth and discovery and
(17:54):
exploration as well. It's like such great music. So I
feed my my love of music constantly. If I'm not
playing it, I'm I'm spinning it and streaming it.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And I hear you also like to garden, Is this true?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I love gardening very much, like I don't get out
much unless I'm touring. So I travel from like my
kitchen door to the studio which is right in my backyard,
and just the little walk from the kitchen to the
studio is a portal, like I've I've created an archway
(18:31):
of cottage roses, so you have to actually go through
the portal, beautiful little portal of cottage roses which which
which flower year round in California, which are really quite amazing.
And then a whole variety of this that and the
other here and there in the backyard. So yeah, I
love gardening.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Sounds like you do have a magical mystical life. You've
got gardens, You've got a portal of roses, You've got
you work at home out of your studio in your backyard.
You've got a piano on your front porch. Yeah, this
is a magical, mystical life.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That you have. It is created so lucky.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
That's not luck. Luck is when you, you know, find
a shiny penny on the ground that is incredible talent. Ah, thanks,
blessed by uh higher power. I believe that is infusing
you with goodness and the ability to look at life
with gratitude and a hell of a lot of hard work.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Oh thanks. I do feel all of those. I feel grateful,
and I feel sourced. And that's what gives me the
excitement and motivation and constant inspiration to sit down and
write another song and try it again and try again,
to get lost in that process where where my gratitude
(19:52):
unravels on the page and I get blessed with another
musical experience.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Do you actually physically write the stuff by hand?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I do. I love that.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Very few people do that. Anymore I do.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So I usually I always have a notebook close by,
usually sitting on the piano or right next to me,
and it's part of a daily practice. But I usually
start by improvising on like just singing. Just let me
sing the song, make me an instrument, I'm yours and
out comes something and it's usually something that's close to
(20:29):
my heart or whatever I'm living through at the moment.
And then once I start singing, I quickly grab my
pen and I just start writing down the things that
I'm saying, and then I edit later. I just try
to write as many verses as possible and then edit later.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Sweet. Yeah, So in your own life right now, going
through some of the best times, dark times, like what
is the music speaking to?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hopefully not dark times, but you know, in the last
couple of years, I did go through another breakup, I
lost a step fother, I lost two cats. My mom
just survived cancer. She's been going through it. We got
news this morning that she's in remission, thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So you just sounded like every caller I get all
night long.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
By the way, Yeah, there, you know, I've I've got
I'm human, and I've got my share of dark stuff,
But at the same time, I'm going through some of
the best of times. I feel so blessed to be
where I am on the planet and at the age
I am and with surrounded by the friends and musicians colleagues,
(21:49):
and the songs that we've created for this new album
and the fun videos we're making right now, I feel artistically,
I just feel like like I'm just getting started, and
that feels one wonderful.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I can't wait to see the roller skating one.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Should you should have called me?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, I know, had you only known.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
What city are you in?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I live outside of Seattle.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh okay, but I'm okay. We're going to come up
there in July. If you want to go for a
roller skate. I always have a skates with me.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I found on eBay a thirty year old pair of
Classic the leather lace up like classic roller skates. They
fit my feet like a glove. It's like we were
fit to be. Yeah, I can't wait to see you.
Oh thanks, And I was so thrilled when I saw it.
(22:42):
Like I said, when I saw you and Waitress, you
were absolutely adorable and the play was wonderful.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I loved that show. I felt like being on a
I felt like I was on vacation. I really did.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I am so fortunate to be able to have these conversations,
and more fortunate still that I have such amazing podcast
sponsors that make it all possible. I recently sat down
with the president of Bigelo Ta, and yes, her last
name is Bigelow. She shared with me all the special
ways the Bigelow family has been blending teas for over
(23:20):
seventy five years to make them so flavorful.
Speaker 1 (23:24):

Speaker 2 (24:15):
O W bigelow dot com. So do you have any plans?
Do you have any hopes of going back to Broadway?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, I will say yes, I don't have a plan
at the moment, but I am keeping my heart open
to receive another phone call one day.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, I'm hoping a producer makes that phone call. Because
you were magical on site.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, I loved it. I loved not having to make
a set list every night, and I loved not worrying
about what I was going to have to wear or
any or any of my banter. I was hired to
be a vehicle for their story, you know, to deliver
the lines and sing songs, sing the songs which were
(25:02):
beautiful songs, and be a part of that cast. And
that felt so great. It was so different than what
I normally do in music. So it felt like a vacation.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Well, it was part of my vacation, and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. So I would love to see you back
on stage.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'd love to do it again.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And I look forward to the mystical, magical, rhythmical, fantastical.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Close enough ride rideical, maragical, there you go, morasmical.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, Oh, this has been fun. Thanks, Delilah. It's nice
talking to you today. Nice to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Let's do this again, Okay, if folks want to come
and see you this summer, I'm going to come and
see you. If folks want to come and see you,
how can they do that.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We are on the road from mid July through mid August,
starting in the Portland area and outside of Seattle, that's
Chateau saw Michelle Winery, and then heading down the West
coast across the country, up through Chicago and then down
to Florida. And then we finish our tour with the
New York Pops in New York City. So we're on
(26:17):
tour for a month this summer.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That is going to be a crazy month.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
It's a crazy month. But that's what we in the
circus like to do. We like to put all of
our friends, bands, musicians on a bus and our amazing
