Joe Jenneman – Maggie
You know, people desperately need pop music. And that is unlikely to change anytime soon. The principal reason for that, I’ve gathered through my years of living on this planet, is that most adults have misplaced that spark for living and are desperately looking to get it back. Pop music, when it works, is one of the few places that has it.
That’s the reason why there are so many love songs. People need them not because they believe in love, but because they’d like to. It’s the same reason why the same folks listen to songs they heard in their teens and will play them for the rest of their lives.
But what if you could give them a modern love song meant to make them feel the way they did? Joe Jenneman’s “Maggie” contemplates teenage love affairs and the unfair way in which time robs the parties involved of the innocence and excitement that made them fall in love in the first place. It’s a song that will, no doubt, speak to many.
Spirit Josh – That’s What I Call Love
The world keeps moving and the people in it keep making the same mistakes over and over again. No, it’s that I’m trying to blame or ridicule anyone. I’m just drawing attention to the fact that most people spend most of their energy making the wrong choices and hoping that these are going to change their lives for the better.
That’s the reason why you see people in the gym every single day, or water fasting for days at a time. That’s why you see people so anxious to become rich and then unable to figure out what to do with the money.
But if it’s love that all these people are seeking, they’d better know that, nearly all the time, it’s those with the right lines and with a whole lot of soul who earn enough trust to where they can earn love.
That’s what you get on Spirit Josh’s “That’s What I Call Love.” Don’t be fearful of how poppy and lighthearted this is. Yes, this is made to appeal to everyone, but it achieves this through a tremendous amount of chart and those vocal hooks that are simply undeniable here.
