Dr. Lamothe Evo. of Pop. (MUH 3210)
- The song is in simple quadruple meter (4/4)
- The form of "Georgia" is in verse-chorus form, with the main sections of the song being the verse and the chorus. The "bridge" is basically the same melody over the same chords, just an octave higher.
- The lyrics of this song are a mixture of lyrical and riff-like. Although the phrases aren't very long, they span a wide range of topics and are very lyrically dense.
- My voice is mostly alto and I have a very wide range. I enjoy experimenting with my voice on records to see what sounds the best and gives it the most texture, and with this song, I decided to do a more straightforward approach. Other than vibrato placed here and there and a few different riffs, the melody is very straightforward. In this song, though, I wanted to showcase a very wide range of my voice, so I chose to stay in a lower register in the verses and then enter a higher chest voice in the bridge and choruses.
- I chose to only use piano on this track, mainly because this is a live performance of me and I don't have it recorded yet, but because the piano is my main instrument, besides my voice. I feel like the piano gives it more of a soulful vibe which I love. If I do end up recording this in the future, I think the only thing I would add to it is possibly strings so that the piano can have its moment. The lyrics are very grounded and real, and I feel like the piano accentuates that.
