The use of "Maria" in TGA music
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 1:36 pm
I've heard "Maria" used a lot in TGA music. I've seen in interviews that it is an arbitrary name to keep the real people obviously unexposed. I assume it is the influence of the Counting Crows, since they sang about "Maria" too, and TGA even used a few of their lyrics, for example: "...and Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in here hand..."
It shows in several of their songs. Additionally, I noticed, especially in their earlier music, they used many lyrics from other artists, such as the above. Has anyone else noticed this? What do you think about it?
