One for Georgie immediately starts with an upscale, upbeat tune that will sweep you off your feet – it only keeps this vibe up, gradually getting better as the song progresses.
The man called ‘Georgie’ in the song (“Georgie, Georgie, where are you?”) refers to George Best, the late Manchester United legend. As such, this song by Giant Killers serves as tribute for the twentieth anniversary of his passing, which precisely explains why the song expresses and thinks highly of a certain individual. It’s all well-said, catchy, not to mention captures the greatness in the man of whom this song is dedicated to.
Needless to say, the songwriting is phenomenal; who wouldn’t want to be admired? Through lyrics such as “All the legends still remain / In the hearts of those who gasped at everything that you did”, and “…you don’t need to pay no mind / My father recalls you / He reckons there are few who can say their schoolyard dreams came true”. It’s – to put it simply – touching; anyone who gives this song a listen can see the pureness and genuinity seep through the words.
Giant Killers did brilliantly with the tune, and the energy that this track brings to the table. It brings inspiration for achieving life goals and dreams even if they seem impossible, but also acknowledges the fine line of romanticizing status, for not everything and everyone on top remains there. Overall, a great song – the feel and hook will leave you wanting more – it’s definitely a good listen.
