Georgia herself is a warm, compelling, malleable voice as believable a sensual soul-bearer as she is raucous provocateur.

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.

Her second production 'Ode to '99' was released in March 2008 under the 'Levare Recordings' label.

So What
Georgia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So why do I try
A new reason to cry
Something's telling me
But I've got no energy
I'm feeling the pain, I've been here before now
I think never again I'm down on the floor now

But so what

So what if it hurts? I'll still do it again
So what? If making mistakes always feels like the end
I'm always gonna give it one more try
Don't have to be a saint to get it right
So what, so what if we say we don't have to pretend

Can't even get sleep
Do I need therapy?
Shouldn't have done it
Tell me something
I'm feeling the pain I've been here before now
I think never again but I'm down on the floor

But so what? So what if it hurts? I'll still do it again
So what? If making mistakes always feels like the end
I'm always gonna give it one more try
Don't have to be a saint to get it right
So what? So what if we say we don't have to pretend?

Shouldn't have done it
Learnt my lesson the hard way
But still I'm running
And I'll never be the same
I'm feeling the pain
I've been here before now
I think never again
But I'm down on the floor now

But so what? So what if it hurts? I'll still do it again
So what? If making mistakes always feels like the end
I'm always gonna give it one more try

Don't have to be a saint to get it right
So what? So what if we say we don't have to pretend?
