Is it a coincidence?

 Notes and tones can both be about music and both use all the same letters.

I say...

Watching the Rose-breasted Grosbeak trying to navigate the bird feeder while all of the little brown sparrows were swarming around it was like watching some period drama where the well-to-do lady has to deal with the common folk at a festival or some other celebration.

So I'll rarely get that question right.

 When you use soundtracks for background music to art or writing, it makes answering a question like "What is the bestselling soundtrack of all time?" hard to answer because I have to tell myself that that really great, but mostly orchestral or choral, album is probably not the answer they're looking for.
