Maroon5's "Makes me wonder" is indeed a catchy tune, but, BY BLOG! I have just now ticked the tenth time I've listened to this song today.
In my home, MTV has no relevance whatsoever with my kids. YouTube is where the music video action. At first I thought there was some bizarre reason for their obsession with this song.
Then I observed what they were doing and I got it: One of their favorite things about YouTube are the music videos and mashups made with games and movie previews. The mashup "It's raining 300 men" is incredibly popular with my kids and their friends.
So it's no wonder they are playing Makes Me Wonder, while playing SoulCalibur 2. The song and the tempo are perfect for the kind of combat movement the characters indulge in. Also, the story line that you can create with that game goes perfect with the song. SoulCalibur involves characters who seem to have complex relationships with each other, in a way that involes 'breaking each other's hearts' by entering in combat.
Check out the lyrics to the song and you'll see what I mean:
Makes me wonder
[Verse] I wake up with blood-shot eyes Struggled to memorize The way it felt between your thighs Pleasure that made you cry Feels so good to be bad Not worth the aftermath, after that After that Try to get you back
[Bridge] I still don't have the reason And you don't have the time And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a f**k about you
[Chorus] Give me something to believe in Cause I don't believe in you Anymore, Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference to try (Yeah) So this is goodbye
[Verse] God damn, my spinning head Decisions that made my bed Now I must lay in it And deal with things I left unsaid I want to dive into you Forget what you're going through I get behind, make your move Forget about the truth
[Bridge] I still don't have the reason And you don't have the time And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a f**k about you
[Chorus 1 + 2] Give me something to believe in Cause I don't believe in you Anymore, Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference, It even makes a difference to try (yeah) And you told me how you're feeling But I don't believe it's true Anymore, Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry (Oh no) So this is goodbye
[Breakdown] I've been here before One day a week And it won't hurt anymore You caught me in a lie I have no alibi The words you say don't have a meaning Cause..
[Bridge] I still don't have the reason And you don't have the time And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a f**k about you and I... and so this is goodbye
[Chorus 1 + 2] Give me something to believe in Cause I don't believe in you, Anymore, Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference, It even makes a difference to try And you told me how you're feeling But I don't believe it's true Anymore Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry (Oh no) So this is goodbye So this is goodbye, yeah (x 3) (Oh no)
