I've recorded a video that takes you through the song "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" by Vicky Lawrence.
We'll cover everything from how the song begins and introduces its characters, to the hidden layers within the lyrics. Why are names important? What’s the impact of the narrator's relationship to the main character? And how does the song masterfully mislead the listener with its chorus?
