The well is deep, you've got nothing to draw with
Sitting alone in the heat of the day
Feels like love is scarce in this season
Compared to the springs of yesterday
When living water flowed
The well is deep, you feel dried up and empty
Standing alone as the crowd rushes by
Looking around at the lines of the city
The haves and the have-nots side by side
And the distance grows
Open your hands, open your heart
It feels like love is scarce, but it's not
Give, it shall be given to you
Give, it shall be given to you
Good measure, pressed down,
Shaken together, running over
It shall be given to you
It shall be given to you in good measure
Come listen to the words of the prophet
He told me everything I ever did
Named my compulsions, all my addictions
Spoke to my thirst infinite
Endless thirst for love
Open your hands, open your heart
It feels like love is scarce, but it's not
Ask, it shall be given to you
Ask, it shall be given to you
Good measure, pressed down
Shaken together, running over
It shall be given to you
It shall be given to you
In good measure

Ari Hest's music is melodic and meaningful, and he is surely among the best recent songwriters of any genre. Twelve Mondays, a collection of remixed fan favorites, does much to demonstrate this. Jessamyn Rains
Inspired by life in lockdown, Fuzzy Jones's new astral folk EP is sobering but playful, girded with expansive production and ample wit. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 18, 2020
