ALBUM
WESSON delivers a soundtrack to everyday life events, touching on reflections and memories that pass them by. Their organic approach to songwriting allows their music to be honest and identifiable. Spreading messages of living unapologetically, the band hope to help listeners find peace and acceptance in their life.
Lyrically the album is a collection of intimate insights into Chris’ mind and his thoughts, frustrations and difficulties with connecting to people and those relationships. Based generally on real life scenarios and how they can affect one's mental health. Having expectations and being let down in those situations can create resentments. The album was a cathartic experience for Chris and is ultimately about coming to terms, letting go and finding peace.
Musically the musicians came together to enhance the music and paint a picture, which was reflective of the subject matter.
Chris’ favourite song
made me happy
“Made Me Happy came out really great on the recording. It's one of those songs I'd have on my playlist, as all of my favourite influences are coming through. The harmonies, melodies and guitar parts are just so good.
I really like the journey of the song but the best part for me is the second verse going into the halftime anthemic section at 1:18. Go and check it out!
The story in the lyrics is a happy sad sentiment. It's about finding a silver lining, coming to terms with things and acceptance of the past.”

VOICES
“Voices has always had a special place in my heart. It was one of the first songs that we wrote together and it always takes me back to that time.
I’m a massive fan of the Chorus vocals and can’t help but sing along every time I hear it. I have to lean away from my microphone when we play it live, otherwise everyone will hear me singing it! I also love Callum’s backing vocals and wouldn’t be upset if he let me sing it.
I have fond memories of discussing the song with Chris and writing the storyline for the video. Unfortunately the video was never fully realised.”
CALLUM’S favourite song
ALL WE ARE
“I particularly like the pacing of All We Are and the journey the song goes on.
I've always enjoyed playing the song live and I feel like we've been able to do the journey justice in the production also.
My favourite part of the song is the Outro / climax of the song which starts at 2:20. The guitar solo leading into the key change at 2:52, has a great rhythm. That’s the moment to listen out for!”
JIMMY’S favourite song
My Self
“The song My Self sounds quite nostalgic to me.
It’s reminiscent of the rock music that was popular when I was a kid, with its big epic Choruses.
I really enjoyed writing and recording all of the guitar layers and adding them in during the production stage of the process.
When I listen to the song, it’s great to hear them coming through, along with the guitar solo at the end.”
