Georgia Scarlett's sensitive, heartbreaking folk song about relationships falling apart conveys through delicate vocals as time passes.
Georgia's vocals have a beautiful mixture of clarity and tremolo that works perfectly with the themes expressed through the song's lyrics. These vocals, combined with the calmly plucked guitar, accompany each other wonderfully. The lack of other instrumentation besides the guitar and vocals helps create the illusion that time feels slower when life is falling apart, while everyone else's lives continue at normal speed, making you feel like you need to hit pause.
“Because I ahh, I am too strong. To let this tear me down. And I can't stop time no more."
The theme conveyed by Georgia is one we've all felt. When listening to this song and story, we can't help but feel that Georgia is experiencing it with us, not just singing about it. Georgia's vocals have a sensitive and sincere quality, reassuring us that we aren't alone. While most songs today write about heartbreak in an angry or vengeful manner, Georgia's approach makes us want to mourn and move on to the next chapter in our lives, whether we decided to move on or not.
