Maria Taylor - Song Beneath The Song 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

And now the loops are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metered time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
Till cymbals swelled
High notes fell 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

    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
    And now the loops are reminiscing
    Recurring dreams of minor chords
    Metered time
    Muted chimes find the beat
    And in the pulse there lies conviction
    A steady push and pull routine
    Till cymbals swelled
    High notes fell 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

    hating you is the most exhausting...💔

  8. A.... T....

    Grey's Anatomy brought me here ❤

  9. a.... a....

    great music

  10. A.... C....

    THIS WAS MY JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

  11. F.... A....

    grey's anatomy soundtrack <3

  12. B.... H....

    Sibilance? Are you kidding me? Hope it's a youtube compression thing.

  13. M.... D....

    one of the greatest songs ever written...performed and felt...lovely colors and movements..it's not a love song...but it could be love

  14. R.... M....

    Cryptic words meander
    Now there is a song beneath the song
    One day you'll learn 
    You'll soon discern its true meaning

    So, its not the words, but the melody that matters.
    And yet a perfect line not out of place in any 'love song'

    An interesting detachment
    A listless poem of love sincere

  15. E.... P....

    hating you is the most exhausting... Heart borken... Grey's Anatomy 2 season...

  16. M.... H....

    I's up! Thanks for the Reply again! Along with First Aid Kit, my big finds of the summer were Jets Overhead (Beach Dream, Boredom and Joy), Imaginary Cities (Bells of Cologne) and Capital Choir (Untrust Us cover).
    What has caught your ear lately? Have a great weekend! MH

  17. v.... ....

    Mark, du rien! J'ai découvert Maria Taylor à l'écoute de Azure Ray (Sleep and November). I know First Aid Kit too, sont merveilleux.

    Belated thank you for the Labour Day wishes! Happy Autumnal Equinox! :)

  18. M.... H....

    VM, merci pour votre reponse.
    Connaissez-vous Maria Taylor avec Azure Ray (New Resolution, The Drinks We Drank Last Night, etc.)?
    Thry played this song on THE WEDGE on MUCHMUSIC years ago and it blew me away and introduced me to this great artist.
    I discovered First Aid Kit (Emmylou) this week. Do you know them?
    Have a great (Labour) Day 2013 ! Mark London Ontario

  19. v.... ....

    I'd say it's a love song, despite her protests. Lol

  20. F.... L....

    Proof there is still good music being made today. It's just not as popular as it should be. Maria Taylor should be a fucking millionaire. Instead, Kim Kardasian is. Fuck this world!!!!

    F.... L....

    jamcoboston True! What a great lyricist and singer. And what she says translates well, because it's honest and real. Thanks.

  21. B.... F....

    Thank You Grey's :)

  22. M.... H....

    Azure Ray, anyone?

  23. b.... ....

    wonderful song!
    like if Grey-s Anatomy brought you here

  24. L.... G....

    I met Maria with this song, 5 years ago and since then, I love her so much.

  25. M.... H....

    So is that a love song?
    There will always be room in my CD collection for another Maria Taylor CD.
    Gracias por la musica. MH

  26. N.... ....

    So amazing, would marry her in less than a supertrillionmillisecond if that exists...

    One Tree Hill Naley!:)

  31. H.... v....

    Damn, I'm in luv..I really _like_ women who look like that, and before you ask what _that_ is, that is having good posture n musculature, usually they have big chins. My biologist friend says those women have had a tad more testorene in the womb than usual. I say.. whatever!
    I luvs 'em.

    H.... v....

    Han van der Heide Dank je wel. Ik ben het eens. Het belangrijke is dat ze zingt zo goed en ook dat zw schrijft zo mooi! Wat een meisje! Elke woord heeft zijn ware plaats. Ik hou van haar muziek.

  32. S.... M....

    Nice song. Only problem are the whistling S's in "itS not a love Song". Sounds like an overdubbed Whisper too much

  49. m.... ....

    @theworldsgreatest01
    U are s o right, I've loved this song for years, purely because it has such deep meaning.. In every lyric there is deep, deep meaning. U are either open to it or high to get it...

  50. u.... ....

    @theworldsgreatest01 nah, just being obnoxious. i adore what you said. cheers, luv.

  51. t.... ....

    @untomatchi So U Mad????

  52. u.... ....

    @teganansara lol i play tegan and sara at my job

  56. 8.... ....

    @theworldsgreatest01
    True dat.

  57. t.... ....

    this song sends the message to look beyond what the singer is saying and look for the "song beneath the song". maria continuously tells us over and over, its not a love song, but if you listen to the message of the song, if you look past what she is blatantly saying, then you learn that what she keeps telling us is not, really is. it is a love song.

  58. B.... R....

    I like her xanax song better.its so mellow and beautiful.like her

  59. a.... ....

    Bah, this is a repetitive song that wastes time. I have to listen to this every day at work and it makes me sick.

    a.... ....

    actrambley21 Hope you've heard more of hers. They're all beautiful.

  60. r.... ....

    I love this song...

    r.... ....

    redlined600 Sorry about that. Listen to her other songs....and I hope you enjoy them. Repetition is the mother of learning....but not to the point of exhaustion, you're right. Hope they've changed songs ...
    (Sorry, I just noticed I answered the wrong note! Glad you like it too.)

  61. j.... ....

    this song sounds like...
    inspiration

    :)

  62. M.... ....

    Her songs are so similar. It gets boring. I love her voice though.

  63. b.... ....

    Does Grey's Anatomy has got great soundtrack? okey..

  64. d.... ....

    the song is really cool, but what's the point of the video?

  65. A.... ....

    love it:D
    Grey's Anatomy has got great soundtrack.

  66. i.... ....

    Great !!

    Thanks

    Gracias

  70. j.... g....

  71. K.... ....

    If anyone has this song on their computer,
    please see my MSN on my Profile,
    and send me it please? :]

  72. S.... E....

    I think the significance of the Geisha is that they're reared not to love, but to be loved. Once and by only one person. But I'm not Japanese so I don't know everything.

    I love Maria Taylor, except her creepy 'I'm trying to be cute' stare into the camera is just wrong.

  73. S.... E....

    I wish.

  74. C.... E....

    fucking geishas

  75. d.... ....

    It's the amount of emotion Conor puts into his voice that makes it brilliant, and when you combine it with Maria's, it's AMAZING.

  76. M.... R....

    i really love this song ...

  77. C.... E....

    He's like a backup singer. Like Maria in Bright Eyes songs

  78. C.... E....

    Are you serious? Cuz he sings like the whole thing

  79. g.... ....

    am i missing something i didnt hear conor in here at all
    ??

  80. a.... ....

    um...it's not a love song? i'm just guessing. but seriously, you can have a love song that's really not.

  81. C.... E....

    Watch "Breakfast in Bed" by Dntel

  82. g.... ....

    AMAZING!!!!!

  83. M.... M....
