Tish suffered from severe asthma and she was constantly surrounded by curanderos. The songs in Dreaming From the Labyrinth reflect this mysterious element, both in the lyrics and in the style of music. This interpretation unites traditional Mexican beliefs with Catholic beliefs of the people. The music as well as the rest of the lyrics support this idea. The music has a mystical, dream-like quality to it.
Long chords form the basis of the song.
Traditional instruments add color to the melody. A guitar plays a counter melody with a traditional Latin feel. Percussion instruments like the shaker and congo drums add to the traditional feel. A flute provides an additional ethnic flair to the piece. The rhythms of the counter melodies and the percussion are reminiscent of Latin and Mexican dance music.
