The mixed emotions of 'Music box' are perfectly conveyed through Bec Quade's (The Millers Tale) gorgeously textured vocals. At its core, it's a song expressing regret over love not further explored, but continuing to glow at a distance. It also carries a somewhat celebratory feel as each chorus sees every vocalist in Sunday Heart Parade singing a long stack of harmonies together.
