There isn’t too much of a change in dynamics in this piece. The volume is mostly steady until it gets to the melody. When the melody hits, that is when it begins to start to change in dynamics. The melody is the heart of the song and that being said, George Strait really wanted his listeners to understand the meaning of this song, so that is why he made the melody much louder. I wouldn’t say it makes the piece more interesting to me than it did before, but I do see what the producer and George Straight are trying to get out of the song when they change dynamics. The change in dynamics flows really well together in this song as well.
The timbre of this song isn’t drastic either I would say. The main timbre of this song is the guitar and there is a decent amount of change when the guitars goes through the song. It is very subtle as well in this aspect but very interesting when I began to look for it in the piece.
