Adam's Playlist

Most people who know me personally would probably be aware of the fact that Maroon 5 is my addiction. Perhaps not all of their songs are my favorites, but all of them I find good. I have downloaded all of their albums and have listened to them repeatedly. No, I'm not the fan who only started to like them because of their popular anthems "Payphone" and "Moves Like Jagger".

Maroon 5's songs always have substance, and whenever I'm sucked into another one of my black holes of despair, it's them I turn to. Adam Levine's voice crooning + a tub of ice cream is usually enough to ease the pain. But let's not make this post about me. My intention (with this post) is to share with you the legendary Maroon 5.

I don't think I'm qualified enough to speak for them, so let them speak sing for themselves. Here's a list of their less famous songs that I really think should be heard by everyone:

1. Sunday Morning; Songs About Jane (2002)
2. Harder to Breathe; Songs About Jane (2002)
3. Nothing Lasts Forever; It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007)
4. Not Falling Apart; It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007)
5. Better That We Break; It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007)
6. Infatuation; It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007)
6. Stutter; Hands All Over (2010)
7. I Can't Lie; Hands All Over (2010)
8. How; Hands All Over (2010)
9. Just a Feeling; Hands All Over (2010)
10. Beautiful Goodbye; Overexposed (2012)
11. Daylight; Overexposed (2012)
12. Love Somebody; Overexposed (2012)
13. Sad; Overexposed (2012)
14. Wipe Your Eyes; Overexposed (2012)
15. Lucky Strike; Overexposed (2012)

The point of this post is for me to stress that not only the popular and mainstream music are the songs which are worthy of your eardrums. A lot of songs which don't make it in the charts are actually better, not just in terms of beat but also in lyrics.

Or maybe this is just my pathetic little self still holding out for the day when Adam Levine will recognize my existence and fall madly in love with me. And of course we'll have babies! But now I've just gone from awkward to slightly delusional.
