karenmuenchen's video: Georgia on My Mind - Acoustic Cover - Karenmuenchen

Again a "ballad" from me, a more "simple" cover (for me not so simple, because I played all instruments (guitar, bass, melodica) by myself). "Georgia on My Mind" is a 1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell and first recorded that year by Hoagy Carmichael. It has often been associated with Ray Charles, a native of the U.S. state of Georgia, who recorded it for his 1960 album The Genius Hits the Road. In 1979, the State of Georgia designated Ray Charles's version the official state song. Many artists, like Willie Nelson (1978) The Spencer Davis Group (1965) Tom Jones (1966) and James Brown (1970) have covered this song, also female artists , like Ella Fitzgerald (1962) and Annie Lennox (2014). Lyrics: Georgia, Georgia The whole day through Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia, Georgia A song of you Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Georgia, oh Georgia No peace I find Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind
