  • Song: Post Malone - Congratulations
    Lyrics:
    My momma called, seen you on TV, son
    Said shit done changed ever since we was on
    I dreamed it all ever since I was young
    They said I wouldn't be nothing
    Now they always say, "Congratulations" (uh, uh, uh)
    Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation (uh-huh)
    They ain't never had the dedication (uh, uh)
    People hatin', say we changin and look, we made it (uh, uh)
    Yeah, we made it (uh, uh)

      FUN FACT: Garth Brooks and his music writer (whatever they’re called) was just so happen at the same movie one night. As some horses came across the screen, Garth thought about what those horses sound like.
      The next day, while writing the music for ‘The Dance,’ Garth tld his writer that he wanted the intro to sound like those horses trotting/running.
      The guy wrote it, nailing it in the 1st try - Garth Brooks loved it, and as they say… the rest is history.

The sound between two different artists and bring those two artists together, and they both drop lines on that song, then come together in harmony on the chorus. A dope ass melody. How beautiful!!
