IS MAROON THE COLOR OF LOVE?

♫♫♫=lll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|lll..i=♫♫♫
Hello Friends,

Scorching weekend, with some showers of rain here and there, blessings of nature ! So I stumble across one of my favorites from Maroon 5 'This Love'. Maroon 5- a five man band (one replaced later) are friends from high school from Los Angeles, California. Formerly  a 4-member group called 'Kara's Flowers', a garage/grunge band ( a form of amateurish rock music) formed in 1994. They gained so much publicity from touring a lot. I must say that paid off for them in the long run because they received the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005.



The lead vocalist of the group, Adam Levine, has a unique voice. A voice I will refer to as a 'fruity flavored gum' :). The other members of the group are Drummer-Matt Flynn, Base Guitarist- Micky Madden, Keyboardist-Jesse Carmichael and Guitarist-James Valentine.
Despite previous failures, 'This Love' was a hit single from their debut album 'Songs About Jane' in 2002. A 2002 song that is still as fresh like it was released yesterday. That's an element of a good song.

Since debuting in 2002, the band has sold over 10 million albums in the United States and nearly 15 million worldwide. Source-Wikipedia.
The explicit scenes of the video aside, the song in itself is a 5*****. Controversial? Yes!, their videos I agree tend to get too 'raunchy'.
They are going on strong with a 2010 album  release- 'Hands all over'-and a new single called 'Misery' which is now available on iTunes.


If Music be the food of love, you know what to do!
