Ben has released songs on both The Punisher and Fantastic Four soundtracks (the former also features fellow Evanescence co-founder, Amy Lee performing with Seether).
On Tuesday December 16, 2008 he released his Mutiny Bootleg EP, which came free with a copy of Hana Pestle's EP that night. Moody is quoted as saying "there’s a duet between Hana and I on there that won't be on the record and won’t be released anywhere ever again. It’s free because I want this sh*t spread everywhere, so be sure that all your friends share the four songs with as many people as possible!" The EP is therefore available for free download from http://drop.io/benmoodymutinybootlegep.
His debut solo album, All For This, featuring Hana Pestle on backing vocals, has been in the works since 2005 and was released June 9, 2009 on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Amie Street via his own record label. The physical release is forthcoming.
We Are The Fallen, featuring Ben Moody, John LeCompt and Rocky Gray (all formerly of Evanescence), along with Carly Smithson and Marty O'Brien, debuted on June 22, 2009 with the song "Bury Me Alive."

Never Say Never
Ben Moody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the waters rush in (Is it all a sin?)
Come inside child, my day is gone
Close my eyes to the sun
I'll never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
I'll never turn back now
Lessons learned now mean nothing
Only wars raged in vein (It's all over soon)
Lay me down child, I'm weak here (Never turn back now)
All my will now is gone
I'll never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
I'll never turn back now
I'm free
There's nothing on earth than can hold me, down
I'm standing
Made up my mind
And I'll never, never, never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
(Never turn back now)
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
(Never turn back now)
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
Never turn back now
(Never turn back now)
I'll never turn back now
The song "Never Say Never" by Ben Moody is a rock ballad about perseverance and never giving up. The lyrics are about facing challenges and overcoming them, even when it seems like everything is against you. Moody sets this theme through the first sentence, "Holding tight, take this last breath As the waters rush in (Is it all a sin?)." The waters can represent the challenges and obstacles in life, and the singer is asking themselves if they're in the wrong for persevering through them. The second verse shows that the singer has learned from their mistakes but is also reflecting on how those lessons have resulted in meaningless wars. The final part of the song depicts the singer as standing firm and never turning back, even when the situation is tough. The repetition of "never turn back now" reinforces the message of perseverance.
The song has an inspiring message and is relatable to many people who face challenges on a daily basis. The use of water and the sun in the lyrics symbolizes a new beginning, which can be interpreted as hope for a better tomorrow. The song's slow and soothing tempo, paired with powerful vocals, make for a powerful emotional impact.
Overall, "Never Say Never" by Ben Moody is an expression of hope and determination, a powerful message delivered through its insightful lyrics.
