Biography

Maria Taylor brought her warm, casual vocals to several projects -- most notably Azure Ray, a dreamy pop duo that featured Taylor and longtime partner Orenda Fink -- before launching her own career as a solo singer/songwriter. Born in 1976 in Birmingham, Alabama, she got her start at age 15 as part of the Birmingham duo Little Red Rocket, a pop rock group that garnered comparisons to Belly and Veruca Salt. After releasing 1997's Who Did You Pay and 2000's It's in the Sound as part of the Geffen Records roster, Little Red Rocket found themselves lost in the shuffle of Geffen's corporate merger with Universal Music Group. The group disbanded as a result, and Taylor relocated to Athens, Georgia alongside her bandmate Orenda Fink. Once established in their new home, the two regrouped as Azure Ray.

    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

    Lyrics
    I made my place by the door
    I didn't know what I was waiting for
    It felt just like home
    Except, no grass, no yard, no pictures hung
    I could see across to the park

    Lyrics
    You're one with the burdon of intuition.
    You're one with the freedom of a blank stare.
    You're one with the best friend you lost,
    You wish was still there.
    You're one with the dust on that old piano.
