Media House’s “Maybe” sounds like the cycling guitar part with a touch of chorus and tremolo to give it a bit of a resonant shimmer is like something out of a music box. That is if such a device included a more complicated expansion as the song progresses. But that kind of repetition like a sample to establish the reflective mood of the lyrics. It’s a song that sounds like it was written alone with the vocalist looping parts and bringing them all together in the end to augment a song that seems to be about reconsidering one’s choices and how some of them can have a cumulative negative impact on others and thus one’s own. The line “Maybe there’s a price to pay when everyone is gone” is the most telling because many people really do think they can do it all alone and don’t need anyone else but that’s sheer foolishness as a human being. Then “Maybe there’s another way to go about this life” suggests that perhaps what we think we know about ourselves and our life isn’t the best way and it will leave us confused when we drive people away without meaning to because ego can bring you to think how you are and how you behave is best. Without being obvious this delicate, almost dream pop song offers a gracious way out of being so stubborn and attached to ways that don’t serve your best interests by beginning most of the lines of lyrics with the word “maybe” and the various dimensions of one’s life conceptions and assumptions about being your authentic self that may be outmoded.
