Guitarist and vocalist T… Read Full Bio ↴Ought is a band formed in Montreal, Canada.
Guitarist and vocalist Tim Darcy, originally a folk musician hailing from New Hampshire, fell in with New Jersey native Matt May (keyboards) and Australian émigré Tim Keen (drums, violin) – the three of them began sharing an apartment that doubled as practice space, where they were soon joined by Portland,OR transplant Ben Stidworthy on bass. Ought played its first show and recorded its first "New Calm EP" in the apartment's largest bedroom, in the summer of 2012. The band busted out into the city's loft circuit, and into the city streets during the Printemps d'Erable Quebec student general strike, in the spring of the same year.
Following another recording session in early 2013 and the release of a second EP via Bandcamp, Ought spent a few days at the Hotel2Tango studio with engineer Radwan Moumneh (Suuns, Matana Roberts, Jerusalem In My Heart) in fall 2013 at the invitation of Constellation, laying down a clutch of songs new and old that comprise the band's first "proper" full-length album. More Than Any Other Day was released by Constellation on April 29, 2014.
A 24-minute, four-track EP followed on October 28. Once More With Feeling... was released as a 10" and digital. Pill was chosen as the title track.
The group announced they'd split in 2021; Darcy and Stidworthy formed Cola with drummer Evan Cartwright.

Who said it came with a
Bottle of wine but
I didn't say much
I didn't mind, well
These situations can
Be such a drag but
Don't take 'em from me
I wanna get high
I come to make contact with
All of your friends
But they've been waiting for you
They're here to the end
You said the end came with
What ever you like but
I didn't say much
I didn't mind, well
Turn around
Can of soup
Let's take a look

The lyrics to Ought's song "Celebration" convey a sense of simplicity and contentment in everyday life. The opening lines, "Suit and tie, Fits okay, Don't take much, To make my day," suggest that the singer finds joy in the little things and doesn't require much to feel satisfied. The repetition of the word "Celebration" throughout the song reinforces this idea of finding reasons to celebrate in ordinary moments.
The second verse introduces the idea of gathering together with others and enjoying a meal, symbolized by the line "Everyone's eating, Just more than enough, A bottle of something, A hand for your glove." This could be interpreted as finding fulfillment in shared experiences and the sense of community that comes with it.
The chorus, "In here it is, The perfect temperature, Gonna figure it out, And then bring it on in, There's a group here, You'll fit right in," suggests a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, where everyone can feel a sense of belonging and connection. The song seems to emphasize the importance of being present in the moment and appreciating the simple pleasures of life, even in the face of challenging situations.
