Words and Music is the fourth studio album by Aqualung. The album was released on 7 October 2008, in the U.S. It features acoustic versions of tracks from Aqualung's eponymous first album, Aqualung, and new songs written in a similar style.

On 31 August 2008 Hales released news of his upcoming album on his MySpace page "I'm really very pleased with the new album... It's a mixture of some old songs and some new songs and a song by Paul Simon. And it's emotional and candid and funny and friendly. It feels like coming home. I think you’ll like it".
