Song Of The Week – The Mountain Goats – Going To Georgia
The Mountain Goats – Going To Georgia
The most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again: its the most extraordinary thing in the world.
I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with the busted safety catch.
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line, going to Georgia.
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you and that you are standing in the doorway and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand, I am frozen with joy right where I stand.
The world throws its light underneath your hair, forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere, going to Georgia.
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line, going to Georgia.

Noisecast #1 – Voice//Guitar
For the past few weeks I’ve been working on developing an acoustic set for my solo live performances. Ive been paying a lot of attention to what makes a song feel complete when its stripped down to nothing but vocals and acoustic guitar. No overdubs, piano, doubled vocals, strings, effects, etc. I started looking through my music library for songs by some of my favorite artists that I could reference/steal from for inspiration, and (kind-of) to my surprise, a much larger number of tracks than I would have imagined featured extra accompaniment of some kind. I actually found it pretty difficult to make this playlist flow well with the limited amount of music that fit the requirements(no live tracks/bootlegs solo performances allowed). I’m pretty happy with the result though, and I think its a pretty good showcase of just how many different things you can actually do with only one voice and one guitar.
enjoy.
