Jonas Brothers "Happiness Begins"

While I am a fan of an engaging swan song, or a valiant attempt at one, whether the aim and concept were too high to express in music or just overblown, I am a sucker for an effectual comeback.

I will not say that Happiness Begins every time that I hear the Jonas Brothers' music, but it does bring a smile to my face, especially when it came to their third and fourth albums. It was not until recently that I listened to the first two, in full, and while they were good, the connection will not be the same even once I give those albums a little more attention; you can see their progression as artists from the first two.
Although they have shed their rock edge, there are still some "Cool" songs present, even ones I weren't aware were performed by them: such as the aforementioned, and "Only Human."
I was going to comment that it would take a little bit longer to appreciate these songs, but I think I have reached that point, There is nothing that stands out with the next few songs except that they are components of a consistent comeback. Okay, I can hear Tedder's influence on "Used to Be," that pitiful tone of someone dealing with the heartbreak of the world; especially in how it is sung. "Love Her" does recall the rhythm that Bieber used with "Love Yourself," yet focuses on what appears to be a more passionate relationship between two people. While the latter sounds like it's about a self-centered subject.
While I cannot pinpoint anything to indicate why I appreciate the song as much as I do, aside from its upbeat nature, I recommend to listen to "Don't Throw it Away." Give it time, time and it might grow on you.
"Strangers" is another standout for me, almost as if a cosmic influence surges through the song; the soaring notes and the spacious nature procuring visuals of travel between planets and the starscape we find our planet a part of.
I will hesitate to mention an artist or song the following tune reminds me of, but the beauty of the song and intention of its creation is undeniable.
"Rollercoaster" is a song full of retroactive respect to their lines, vines and trying times that brought them to where and who they are now; the sound is a propulsive, high energy campfire-esque song that is begging for a crowd clapping along the beat that Tedder has probably penned before; even though he has been part of the writing process for many of the songs, this is another one with his indisputable influence.
"Comeback" is about that love that never quits, where that particular gravity found in love will return those lovers together, even if it's brought on by the gumption of one. However, I cannot help but think of how this can pertain to music and the Brothers' relationship to it. Whether they will continue recording albums after the one in progress or not, music will always be a part of their lives; which causes me to think of Kevin Jonas and his alteration in focus on starting his own family, while the other brothers Jonas focused on finding their solo voices in music.
