Good Vibes is a tune about a simple concept: Wherever you go, you can make the most of what you have. I really love the hook/chorus of this tune. The verses are fun and playful. I sometimes wonder if they are TOO playful. I still sometimes wonder if using the word "spatula" in a song was a good idea.
This Paul Simon classic is only made better with the iconic voice of Hazel Miller singing with me. I am so proud of this version with Hazel, I can't wait for you to hear it.
I was fortunate enough to record "Together" and shoot the accompanying video with an awesome newly formed choir from AllHealth Network. Such a cool thing to collaborate with this non-profit serving people who need help with mental health, substance use and suicide prevention.

I am really, really feeling this message of togetherness in such tumultuous times for humanity. This may be the most important track I've ever written!
This track is very special to me and took me a while to gather the courage to release it.
It's a personal song dedicated to my mother.
A song of transformation through a pandemic. And a song of a new life beyond COVID and new relationship with my mom, who was diagnosed with Alzhiemer's.
Thanks, Mom. You've given me great gifts and the privilege to

Thanks, Mom. You've given me great gifts and the privilege to be a human being. I love you.
I'd love for you to take a few minutes to listen to the track now, then email me at cody@codyqualls.com to let me what you think.
And remember, it's ok to just let it all fall away...
The idea for “Best Daddy” came to me a couple of years after my 3rd child was born. I noodled with the tune over many years until one day I was singing the chorus in the kitchen and she playfully sang it back to me. There was a “call and response” game that transpired between us and she sang a slightly different version of the melody back to me
The idea for “Best Daddy” came to me a couple of years after my 3rd child was born. I noodled with the tune over many years until one day I was singing the chorus in the kitchen and she playfully sang it back to me. There was a “call and response” game that transpired between us and she sang a slightly different version of the melody back to me that ended up being a harmony which helped complete the song. Now when we play the song, she smiles at me knowing she helped catalyze it coming into the world. It’s special for her and for all of us.
This song reminds me of what is most important to me. As the song says, “I might never drive a Caddy, but I’m gonna be the BEST DADDY I can be!"
I hope BEST DADDY brings joy to you and your family as much as it does to ours!
