"Buy Dirt" Musical Analysis

Link to my song Here


This song is made between Jordan Davis as well as Luke Bryan. Jordan Davis has a few popular songs while Luke Bryan is one of the most famous country singers ever. They made this amazing song together. 
This song was released in 2021. 

This song makes me feel extremely happy. It is about enjoying the smaller things in life like loving and having a family. He says to thank god for the dirt (land) you can own because he isn't ever making anymore of it. It makes me really appreciate the beautiful earth that we live on. 

MUSICAL ELEMENTS

Tempo- The tempo of this song is 178 bpm. This songs tempo is pretty quick. This makes sense with the way that they are performing this song to be a happy one. It isn't super fast  but the background music behind the words is a pretty consistent quicker speed. I think this is important to make the song stay happy and upbeat versus slower and sadder. 

Lyrics- The lyrics in this song are absolutely beautiful. They talk about how beautiful life is and enjoying every moment of it. Growing your family tree and growing a family. They say you can't buy happiness but you can buy dirt, this is a very important meaning to me because you can't buy items to make your family happy but you can buy dirt to make them a home. 

Harmony- I think harmony is a very important part of this song. This is because there are two separate people singing this song so they come together and harmonize pretty often. It is quite pretty because they both have amazing voices. The way they can mesh together to make the song sound so touching is beautiful.

Dynamics- I do not think this song ever gets too loud in dynamics. There is never a point where I would need to turn down the song more than the rest of it. It stays at a general dynamic and sounds very happy and loud enough to be heard but not so loud that its yelling. 

Vocal Range- The vocal range of both of these men is pretty amazing. They can find a way to cover a pretty wide range of vocals. They make their voices extremely smooth and soft which conveys the happiness and importance of this song versus harsh and angry.

He is an extremely popular artist in the country music community.  This song has 44 million plays on YouTube.  Oklahoma Smokeshow  by Zach Bryan was made in 2022 in Tennessee This song is personally very relaxing to me. It helps me to calm down. When I hear this song as well as many others by the same artist I usually think of car rides with family and friends over summer.  Musical Elements: Tempo-  the tempo of this song is 123 bpm. This is a pretty normal to quicker paced song. This is a very good tempo for this song because it is fast enough that it is a song and not just talking, but it is slow enough that you can really understand the lyrics and understand that it is a serious kind of sad song overall Lyrics- I think the lyrics are the next most important part of the song. These lyrics are very emotional as well as very powerful. This song talks about living in a small town. The
