1. Mult… Read Full Bio ↴There are more than on artists/bands by the name of Georgia.
1. Multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter Georgia Barnes. Born and raised in a deeply musical household in north west London, Georgia combined music study at London's SOAS with a stint working on the counter at Rough Trade and quickly made a lot of very natural musical connections, being invited to play drums with DIY innovators such as Kwes and Kate Tempest. Georgia herself is a warm, compelling, malleable voice as believable a sensual soul-bearer as she is raucous provocateur.
2. The band Georgia has steadily created a loyal fanbase over the last few years. Comprised of three brothers and a close friend all from the south, they are currently signed with Atlantic Records. They released an EP called the Cabin Sessions Vol. 1, which was recorded live in 2007 while at a log cabin in Blue Ridge, Ga. They have since been working on their first full studio album, recording in LA. More information can be found at www.myspace.com/georgia or www.georgia.sunrise-promotions.com.
3. A trance artist: Georgia is a female DJ / producer from Dutch harbour city Rotterdam. As of March 2008, she has two releases. Her first production was a track called 'We Rise', co-produced with 'Stimulator'. This was released in December 2007 along with a dub mix by her from the 'Flashover Recordings' label. Her second production 'Ode to '99' was released in March 2008 under the 'Levare Recordings' label.
4. Georgia was the work of Patti Kim (Meowch / Tel Quel) and Five Seventeen (Toys for Elliot / 5MP) who carefully crafted songs with their 4-tracks in separate houses rather than walk the half-block to each others houses.
5. Also a South African artist (or group).
6. Georgia, real name Gordy Deems, was a lead / rhythm guitarist in the 80s AOR band, Rage n’ Rox.

Do you want to feel how it feels? (yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? (yeah, yeah, yo)
It's you (yeah, yeah, yo)
it's you and me
And if I only could
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
See if I only could, oh
You don't want to hurt me (yeah, yeah, yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies (yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder (yeah, yeah, yo)
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts (yeah, yeah, yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (yeah, yeah, yo)
Tell me, we both matter, don't we? (yeah, yeah, yo)
You (yeah, yeah, yo)
it's you and me, you won't be unhappy
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (running up)
(yo)
Oh come on, baby
Oh come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
Said, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
I'd be running up that hill
With no problems
Said, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places

Said, if I only could
I'd be running up that hill
With no problems
(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)
(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)
The lyrics to Georgia's song "Running Up That Hill" convey a sense of longing and desperation, as the singer is willing to do anything to change their circumstances and make a deal with God. The song explores the complexities of relationships and questions the depth of love and the presence of hate. The repetition of "yeah, yeah, yo" in the lyrics adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the emotions being expressed.
The song starts with the singer addressing someone, asking if they want to experience the same pain and if they truly understand the situation. They present the idea of making a deal with God, suggesting that if they had the power, they would swap places with the person they're addressing. The lyrics "Be running up that road, be running up that hill, be running up that building" symbolize the physical and emotional challenges they are willing to face in order to change their circumstances.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that the person they are addressing doesn't want to hurt them, but there is an underlying pain that they are not fully aware of. The lyrics reflect on the presence of hate in relationships, questioning why there is so much hate even for the ones we love. The singer seeks reassurance from the person, emphasizing that they both matter and their happiness is intertwined. The chorus is repeated again, highlighting the desire to make a deal with God and achieve a different outcome.
In the final part of the song, the singer pleads for the person to embrace the moment and exchange experiences. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the longing to swap places and run up that hill without any problems, suggesting a desire for a fresh start or a new perspective.

It may not sound as creative as some think, but it's a very beautiful cover from a young artist like Georgia and a very good way to introduce Kate's music to younger generations. I don't think that's anything to complain about!
Steven Scipione
The younger generations will get a HUGE shock when they realise that the rest of Kate's music sounds NOTHING like RUTH!!
MS Radclyffe
Except it won’t. Seen far too many comments on Maxwell being the writer of This Woman’s Work. There will be a lot of Gen Z who will do the same here.
