Moroney puts on a "Hell of a Show"

A stripped-back heartbreaker written by Moroney, "Hell of a Show" serves as the closing track to Moroney's sophomore LP "Am I Okay?," out this Friday. The song is entirely acoustic.

"That song started as a poem, which I'd never done before," Moroney said. "I wrote it by myself on the back of the bus thinking about how all these unbelievable things were happening, and I couldn't even be happy because some guy was ruining it for me. Even if my fans haven't had the experience of being a performer, I think they'll relate to faking a smile to try to make it through when someone else is getting in the way of what should be a happy moment."

The first verse of the song is, "It's everything I've wanted, I'm lucky as can be/And I'm on stage in 20, and he's so damn mean to me."

Moroney closes out with a confession: "I guess you could say I put on a hell of a show/'Cause I'll smile and I'll sing and I'll wave and repeat/And tonight I'll cry myself to sleep."

The follow-up to the recently released "Man on the Moon."
