At the end of the first half of season 17, ‘No Expectations’ closes the episode. Meredith’s condition has worsened and Dr. Webber agrees to placing her on ventilation. Accompanied by ethereal humming, Meredith is back on the beach as this this classic cover version continues with emotional vocals.

‘No Expectations’ was released in 2018 on The AG Sessions EP, Discover: Songs Of The Rolling Stones Vol. 2. The EP includes three other songs featuring Valerie Broussard, Connie Lim (aka MILCK), and Jenny Owen Youngs. 

The original song by the Rolling Stones was recorded and released in 1968 on the album Beggars Banquet. The slow ballad features founder and leader of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones on acoustic slide guitar and marks one of his last contributions before he left the band.

“The lyrics to this Rolling Stones song are so beautifully sad – I wanted to do a version that really brought out that bittersweet sadness,” AG shared with Tunefind, “And Brian Fennell was the perfect voice for this!”
