Poor George by James Supercave
“Poor George”: Half mocking, half melancholy; this is the story of pride that goes before the fall. The titular George is both his own character and a symbol for the particular carelessness of men, and although the narrator holds pity for the character as George becomes darker with every verse,and reacts in screaming grief to George’s implied catastrophic death at the very end, there is a sense of patheticness to the entire song that really amplifies the message. It is a story I am quite familiar with, and its river-like groove- with its quiet desolation- is wonderfully accentuated by a jagged, sharp-toothed guitar. “Poor George” is the ultimate eulogy for a man who, in some sense, was never born to begin with.
