MAROON 5 – It Was Always You

This song is track number 3 from the album “V” and was written by Adam Levine, produced by The Monsters and The Strangerz.
As always, an absolutely terrific performance by Adam. There is something about his voice that makes you feel euphoric. I love the way he has brought that feel to this song as well. Another noteworthy aspect of this song is the production, I love the reverse effect used on the drums in certain areas of the song. I love that idea that the producers brought into. Another thing is the key change, the song starts in a major scale and then moves to a minor. Loved that idea as well. Overall, a great production made even better by Adam Levine.

With a different kind of feeling
C#                         B

Hazel eyes,
            B
I was so color blind
             F#
We were just wasting time
     C#m
For my whole life
             B
We never crossed the line
            F#
Only friends in my mind
F#
But now I realize,

All my hidden desires

Finally came alive
C#                 B
No, I never told lies
                    F#
To you so why would I
F#
Start tonight
