In 2001, the band regrouped, with guitarist James Valentine added to the line-up, and pursued a new direction under the name: Maroon 5. At this point, Jesse Carmichael switched to playing the keyboards and this has become his main instrument in the band (although he also plays rhythm guitar to this day). After these changes, Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and released their debut album, "Songs About Jane", in June 2002. The album's lead single "Harder to Breathe", received heavy airplay, which helped the album to debut at number six on the Billboard 200 chart. The band won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005. For the next few years, the band toured extensively worldwide in support of Songs About Jane and produced two live recordings: 2004's "1.22.03.Acoustic" and 2005's "Live Friday the 13th". In 2006, Ryan Dusick officially left the band after suffering from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn. The band recorded their second album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" and released it in May 2007. The album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead single, "Makes Me Wonder", became the band's first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100.
On September 21, 2010, the band released their third studio album entitled "Hands All Over". It was re-released in 2011 to include the single "Moves like Jagger" (featuring Christina Aguilera). While the original version of the album received mixed reviews, "Moves like Jagger" reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band released their next album, "Overexposed", on June 26, 2012. All four singles of the album were really successful on the charts - for example, the second single from Overexposed, "One More Night" (released on June 19, 2012), reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2014, the band signed with Interscope Records and released their fifth studio album, "V", with the very-first line-up of six official band members, as keyboardist and backing vocalist PJ Morton became an official member in 2012. The album debuted at top of the weekly Billboard 200 chart. Since its debut in 2002, the band has sold more than 15 million albums in the United States and over 100 million singles and 27 million albums worldwide.
Simple Kind of Lovely
Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking all the same junk
Fallin in and out of a dream
Back and forth i'm swaying
I'm contemplating staying
Laying and decaying when i know i must leave
How do i call myself at times like these
I need a simple kind of lovely
The thought is just a novelty
You can spend the whole time
Dangling from a grape vine
Standin underneath you when they cut you free
What about when the sun leaves
and What about all those bad dreams
Who will walk you back into reality
I wish this could be like this everyday
But i know that i could never live this way
Was just a simple kind of lovely
The memories will be okay
I wish things could be like this everyday
But i know i could never live this way
Was just a simple kind of lovely
and the memories will be okay
Was jus a simle kind of lovely
and the memories will be okay
In the song "Simple Kind of Lovely" by Maroon 5, the singer is in reflection mode as he leans on a tree trunk and thinks about his life. He's grappling with indecision as he swings back and forth, contemplating whether he should stay and decay or leave. He wonders where he should aim when he shoots the breeze and how he can call himself during such uncertain times. He's yearning for a simpler life, one that's not filled with complexities and uncertainties.
The singer then imagines spending his whole life dangling from a grapevine, with someone standing underneath him, waiting to cut him free. He thinks about what will happen when the sun leaves and when he has bad dreams, who will be there to walk him back to reality? He wishes that life could be simple and lovely like this every day, but he knows that he could never live this way. He concludes that life would just be a simple kind of lovely, and the memories will be okay.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the complexities of modern life and the yearning for simpler times. The singer wants to simplify his life and live in the moment without worrying about the future. The song speaks to anyone who has ever asked themselves, "is this all there is to life?" and longed for something simple and pure.
Line by Line Meaning
Leaning on a tree trunk
Stood next to a tree, leaning on its trunk
Thinking all the same junk
Having recurring, unproductive thoughts and ideas
Fal lin in and out of a dream
Going back and forth between reality and imagination
Back and forth i'm swaying
Swinging from one decision to another
I'm contemplating staying
Considering staying where I am
Laying and decaying when i know i must leave
Staying and deteriorating despite knowing I need to move on
Where do i aim when i shoot the breeze
Not sure where I'm going or what I'm doing
How do i call myself at times like these
Uncertain how to define myself in this situation
I need a simple kind of lovely
Craving an uncomplicated form of happiness
The thought is just a novelty
But I know it's not practical or realistic
You can spend the whole time
You can waste all your time
Dangling from a grape vine
Holding on to something fragile and fleeting
Standin underneath you when they cut you free
Being there for someone after they've gone through a rough time
What about when the sun leaves
What happens when things aren't going well anymore
And what about all those bad dreams
What about the nightmares or fears we have
Who will walk you back into reality
Who will help bring you back to the present and face the truth
I wish this could be like this everyday
Wishing we could have moments like this all the time
But I know that I could never live this way
But realizing that this kind of happiness is not sustainable in everyday life
Was just a simple kind of lovely
It was just a fleeting, simple moment of happiness
The memories will be okay
But at least the memories will remain
