If you haven’t met Donna
Marie before she’s the multi-instrumentalist in a Country Night In Nashville
with a big guitar, bigger heart and even bigger voice. Donna Marie is a very
talented singer/songwriter/producer in her own right, and is starting to get
the individual recognition that she so richly deserves.
Speaking of getting what she
deserves, her new single Pity Party is about someone realising their own
worth.
Super intro, single notes
with Donnas voice over the top. Gentle, mellow, the measured tempo as she
recounts what life was like with a guy who was controlling. She realises what a
fool she was just going along with it all.
The tempo increases as our
storyteller takes control of the situation and her life.
She feels pity for him, he
didn’t expect she would find her courage and makes a stand. His “party”, way of
life has coming to an end. Rather than anger or even sorrow, the
song expresses regret, displaying a real maturity. She recognises he didn’t intend to hurt her
but didn’t know better. The party is a
metaphor for her life, the lights come on not only at the party but also in her
mind, illuminating for her that this just isn’t right, awakening her inner
lion, finding her courage
The instrumental break has a
sense of motion to it, perhaps reflecting her own metaphorical move to becoming
stronger. Matt Wells on Dobro is a fabulous
addition to this song, complementing Donna Marie’s warm and soothing voice
The song ends by repeating
that she has found her courage and she can do what she wants underlined by the
solo note fade out.
Pity Party,
the latest single from Donna Marie is available to download and stream from 23
March.
