The Maine "Black and White"

"Don't Stop Now," but I think I have found the "Right Girl," even if she roughs me up, breaks me down, locks me out. This song reminds me of another song, and I don't think it's petty to say I am not absolutely sure who performed the song it reminds me of; this is a nice song with the lovely sentiment driving beat, and the guitar, besides the bassline. This latter song is even better than the preceding with a situation all guys can sympathize with or understand: "Try to stay smart but the dumb comes out/Maybe I'm shy, I drive an old car ,Maybe I'm amazed that I got this far/And I got my stand-bys waiting on the line/But the hardest part is knowing that it won't be her this time.../Oh god I did the wrong thing to the right girl/My mind was only in it for a minute/Had a bad fling with a good girl" and a real nice guitar riff. The Next song is about "Growing Up," and that "Graduate, what's a kid to do now?/Get away, yeah-ah/We've got so much to prove/Cause it's time to move on /And I'm stuck to let go." It is a nice old-fashioned piano rocker, not one of those solemn and sappy, synthetic numbers.  The song follows one of those ironic principles in relationships where someone treats the guy like crud, but it only adds "Fuel to the Fire," and increases his burning desire, love or lust, just adds to the flame. This hook, and great instrumentals, as well as that passion just get "Inside of You," and do not let go. There is an underlying bass that is behind the drums and Callaghan's passionate vocals in this catchy pop-punk nugget. "Every Road" we take has a different path and outcome, but this country song dressed in pop-punk clothing ends on a positive note. The melodies and the instrumentals in this song just say "Listen to your Heart," which could end up being your "Saving Grace" which is a very uplifting and positive anthem that releases a lot of positive energy and has wonderful harmonies and instrumentals. The next song just says "Give it To Me" with this driving beat while Callaghan "You got your daddy's wallet/And your mothers eyes/Soon enough girl you're going to realize/That when the pretty boys try to get next to you/They really just want to have sex with you" which almost has him rapping. This song is of a different "Color" and sentiment; searching for hope? Everybody feels messed up sometimes, and needs some assurance. Personally, the song has a nice guitar riff, and a good ending. When there are only gray areas it's hard to see differences, but some people only see differences, and judge people on how they look. So I would prefer more gray areas, but not always in music though; like when songs sound too similiar. So if i had to choose 5 songs I would choose I would choose: Right Girl, Inside of You, Listen to Your Heart, Saving Grace and Color.
