current single: “HEAVENS TO BETSY”

Jackson Dean co-wrote his latest song, “Heavens to Betsy,” and the thing he loved about the finished product, after the song was fully produced and recorded, was the juxtaposition of the lyrics and the instrumentation.

Jackson Dean – juxtaposition of Betsy :36

“So, ‘Heaven’ is nothing short of desire through and through. The thing I love about it is those verses are a little cheeky, and you come off the top with, you know, ‘who knows if those roads really made a miles of gold’ or ‘at the Pearly Gates you didn’t have a key.’ I love that kind of language. It’s conversational and it’s easy, and I love that. When you mix that with doom guitars and comin’ at you full tilt, it’s just really, really fun. I knew from the get-go, from the first time I heard the bones of that, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this live is gonna be crazy.’ Great vibes.”
