Behind The Scenes
Blythe Donner Lyrics

In Blythe Donner's song Behind The Scenes, the artist explores the concept of searching for someone who is not physically present but can be found in everything around us. The lyrics suggest that the person being sought after is not just a physical being, but their presence is felt in everything around the searcher. The first two lines "is it your face that adorns this garden, is it your fragrance that intoxicates this garden" reveal that the person being searched for has a profound effect on the environment around the searcher. The garden and the fragrance of the flowers represent the presence of this person.

The next few lines "is it your spirit that has made this baroque river of wine, hundreds have looked for you and I have searched in this garden where you hide behind the scenes" further emphasize the idea that the person being searched for is not physically present but their spirit is still very much alive. The river of wine symbolizes the joyous moments in life that the person has created for the searcher. The last two lines "but this pain is not for those who come as lovers, you are easy to find here, you are in the breeze and in this river of wine" convey that the search for this person is not something one can do out of love. This person's presence is already everywhere, and all it takes is a deep understanding to feel their magic.
