Day 20 -- A Song You Love By an Artist You Don't
"This Love" -- Maroon 5, Songs About Jane (2002)
First off..."love" is too strong of a word to describe how I feel about this song. A better title for this post would be "a song that's okay by an artist I don't particularly care for". Just sayin'.
Pretty much no one needs to explain why they don't like Maroon 5, but here's my excuse: Maybe the rest of the guys in the band are decent enough but their front man, Adam Levine, seems like an insufferable arrogant douchebag. His voice can also get pretty high. It doesn't sound good to my ears. Also, I cannot think of one other Maroon 5 song--and there are a lot of popular ones--that I like. Seriously, if I hear the opening notes to any of their songs, I pretty much always switch the radio station.
I will, however, listen to "This Love". It has a funky sound. A different sound from later Maroon 5 hits. In this case, I like the music way more than the lyrics which talk about a break up with some not-so-nice woman. Plus there was a lot of hip-hop released in the early 2000s and it was nice to hear an attempt at pop-rock in that era. Just sayin'.
