So far I've posted about artists from Canada, USA, Romania, and Britain; now I can add Australia to that list. Orianthi's new song "Courage" starts out with a tender, yet powerful vocal sound that proves that Orianthi is more than a guitarist. Throughout the song her strong voice continues with the sweet tune; along with some swaying "Whoa whoa"s which I'm sure you've guessed I'm not too fond of, but they work well with the song. Orianthi still has her awesome guitar skills that she's famous for in this song making it all come together for great music.
I find the lyrics a little unclear though. At the start I can believe that she's talking about a relationship, yet by the chorus she branches out to courage and metaphors. Of course, this would be fine if there was so connection to something, yet I don't see that connection. It seems like they wanted a complex love song, but it just transformed into a bunch of cliches. One could always argue that there is a deeper meaning that you have read between the lines to see; but I feel if you really have to analyze a song to get it, it's not worth it. Songs can be complex and metaphorical, but I want to believe that the artist knows what she's talking about.
This doesn't ruin the song though. It's still sweet and the lyrics do make sense for the most part. Orianthi displays that she's not just the guitarist from "This is it" she actually is her own artist. The question is, will she remain a one hit wonder or will "Courage" become her second hit?
