 TITLE: You're My Incentive
BY: Destinee Girard
GENRE: Indie rock, folk rock
LABEL: Liberation/Nomad RecordsThere's a long pause between the first song and the second song before you hear Adele's voice begin with a piano playing with her, both of them beginning at the same time. The piano is playing an upbeat tune, and Adele and Destinee's voices are pretty bubbly, which makes the song (another song about loneliness and worthlessness) a little disturbing. While in the first song, Adele's deeper, somber voice dominated most of the verses, Destinee's higher voice shows off it's range. Destinee and Adele's own abilities to harmonize together is shown a great deal in this song as well. The song has a very drunken feel to it as they sing, a guitar softly strumming along with them in the second verse, and then a light beat of a drum joining in during the third verse. Before the beginning of the fourth verse, there's a small pause as all the instruments stop playing for a second, their final notes fading, and then immediately start back up again, this time a little bit heavier as the girls sing a bit louder. The song takes on a far more powerful feel to it for the last three verses as the girls sing, sounding almost frustrated and confused; even angry. In the sixth verse, as Destinee sings alone, Adele softly harmonizes with her in the background, her quiet "ahhh"'s adding a sense of rising action until the final line of the sixth verse, when they sing together. Between the sixth and seventh verse, there is a short guitar solo, in which the acoustic guitar that had been playing along with them becomes an electric guitar and plays an upbeat tune. While it plays that tune, the drums continue to play their soft, never-stopping beat, which gives the guitar solo, although a supposed happy one, a feeling of false joy and security. As the next verse begins, that same feeling of false happiness stays with it, both Destinee and Adele's voices sounding hesitantly happy as they sing. In the very last line, they both sing, "You're my incentive," and the instruments stop playing, their notes fading out as Destinee and Adele sing "and if you go, I go, too" in a pseudo-a capella state. There's about ten seconds of listening to the last notes of the instruments fade out before the song ends and goes into the next song.Destinee

BothYour bearings are shotAnd your car doesn't work like she used to
Your friend don't call, and they don't even botherWith offering excusesYour TV is on, but it's always on
So it's useless
It's just the awful news and the sorry truthThat we're definitely sinking
So I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
You'll just hurt your chest, and your face will turn bright blue
This is how it's going to be, this is how it's going to be
This is how it will be, and there's nothing that we can do
And if you start believing that, I'll stop holding my breath, too
You've been praying for change
But you haven't seen a church since the tenth grade
You cry at your job, don't believe in your voteAnd never celebrate your birthday
So you set up a dinner to make you feel
Less desperate, and worthlessBut your dad gets drunk, so your mom throws a fit
While your old man hits on the waitressSo I wouldn't waste my time, if I were you (Ahhhhh....)You'll snap your spin and strip away your youth (Ahhhhh....)This is how it's going to be, this is how it's going to be (Ahhhhh....)This is how it should be, and there's nothing that we can do
Yeah, and if you start believing that, I'll stop wasting my time, too
Yeah, and if you start believing that, I'll stop wasting my time, too
You're my incentive, and if you go, I go, tooSOUNDS LIKE:
