Over time I have learned something about Dawn Richard, and that is she never does
anything random, or something as a mere coincidence. I am simply amazed at how
this was so put together, and how well it references the account of David and
Goliath. The title and the whole song is the reference to this account as well,
but I would have not made that connection without knowing the story of David
and Goliath from my younger years.
In closing I am very impressed that this song
was so much an allusion that it did not cross my mind that it was until like yesterday.
I guess that is the wonder of allusions after all, they can right in front of
you without knowing it. Knowing this information about the song “Goliath” makes
me believe that Ms. Dawn Richard has some deep knowledge of the text, and the
skills to write that knowledge in way to allude to that story. I am now
interested to find out if they are more allusions in this album, and in
anything else that I come into contact with.
