Song Meaning of “Unexpected Treasure” by Ernesto Cortazar
“Unexpected Treasure” by Ernesto Cortazar is a beautiful instrumental piece with a somber yet celebratory feel. It tells the story of a person who unexpectedly discovers a hidden treasure, providing them with hope and optimism even during times of uncertainty. The song begins with a lone piano solo, a metaphor for the loneliness one feels when they cannot find the peace and solace they seek. As the instrumentation builds the listener is taken on a journey of discovery as the discovery of the unexpected treasure is finally realized. The music is triumphant, triumphant with relief and a sense of joy that transfers to the listener.
The lyrics suggest that the unexpected treasure is in fact a greater understanding of oneself and an acceptance of one’s own worth. The song is a reminder that no matter the darkness or challenge of the present, a lasting treasure can be found in understanding and cherishing the beauty of one’s own life: “From deep within there comes a treasure/Gently embracing something unknown/The joy of this unexpected pleasure/Celebrate the love that’s made you whole.”
The song is a celebration and a reminder that, even when all hope seems lost, we can all find “unexpected treasures” by tapping into the richness and beauty of our inner selves. With its uplifting yet somber tone, “Unexpected Treasure” is a reminder that true joy and solace can be found within.
