MUSIC: "Song Beneath The Song" by Maria Taylor

The song below is from the Grey's Anatomy Vol. 1 OST that came out a few years ago. I was listening to it on the way home from work late yesterday. It was a dark drive home, and the song reminded me of a time ago when my little sister had come down for a visit during Spring Break.

It was late that evening, and my sister and I were checking-in at the Pop Century Resort. I can remember it. It was our first visit there, and we were engulfed in our surrounding and very excited. I was in a particularly attractive mood, and I found myself in a mile flirtation with the guy behind the front desk - his name was Gary.

After my sister and I had our room keys, I was still reeling with giddiness, and she told me that I should go back and ask him out on a date or else she'll do it for me. Well, neither one of us did, but this song reminds me of the sense of excitement, innocence, and wonder of that evening.

"Song Beneath The Song"
by Maria Taylor

Lyrics:

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

Oh now the roots are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
The cymbals swell
High notes flail into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
