Months ago,
Maroon 5 release their new single called “girls like you”and last October it
reach 1 billion views on youtube. It’s amazing if you take a closer look on
matters that build the song.
Let’s start
with chord. “girls like you” chords are very simple. If you play it with
guitar, in a simple play, you can use just 4 chords, from C, G, Am, F again and
again from the beginning until the end.
From
instrument, it’s simple too. On my ears, I can tell some instrument include
acoustic guitar, electric organ, electric drum, some strings, bass and midi.
But yeah, their engineers mix it very good.
But yeah,
IMHO, the song is very special because of it is a maroon 5’s. To be exact, the
lyric is easily recognized and easy to follow. A lot of people can sing it.
Besides, adam levine’s singing skill is undoubtable. And the most interesting
thing is its video clip. We can see a lot of famous figure there dancing
alternately.
There’re a
lot of famous song outtthere that built by simple matters. Sometimes, good music
isn’t something complicated but simple. as long as it’s easy to follow with light lyrics,
and simple chords, and fit instrument composition, it will reach alot of audience.
