This indie-soul song is often noted for its groove-oriented feel and enticing lyrics. Opening with "I prefer to be mysterious but I slip up every time" to "Your move as smooth as a boy hitting puberty," culminating at a dramatic scene of a lover running to catch the narrator's hand as she is carried away by a departing train brings the listener on a journey of a passing, yet passionate love affair. "Beyond This Song" is enhanced by the fantastic musicianship of the Valerie Orth Band.
