Check Yes or No

This piece by George Strait is one of my favorites of all time. The relaxing tone behind this piece sets myself in the right mood all the time. The melody of this piece is consistent throughout this whole song. The melody stay in the higher range and at the end of every line it bounces up to a higher note when he says “Me” or “Be”. Then it goes back to the original phrases to end the melody. Then additional phrases come in to break up the melody to tell the story that this song is telling. The melody is like the the message he wants to get across in the song while the phrases that break up the melody are the detailed descriptions that assist him to get the message across.

For most of this song, the texture is homophonic. The multiple guitars or instruments are the background part while George Strait is the soloist but the work hand in hand and become one throughout the song. The instruments in the background really compliment George Strait’s voice and make everything flow together smoothly.
