My grandmother once asked me, "Why don't you write some happy songs?"
I told her, "These ARE my happy songs."
But enough about me. What do YOU think of me?
"Adam Levin is a pain in the ass. While other, NORMAL songwriters are content to provide you with polite background music for your daily activities, he demands your full, rapt attention. He'll seduce you with lush harmonies, only to steal your breath away with trap-door chord changes that drop you into a hall of mirrors where your reflected image strikes you and sends you hurtling through a melodic maze, alternately twisting around an impossibly tight corner, then soaring across a death-defying abyss and, finally, landing feather-light in a landscape of aching beauty, only to realize that you're right back in your chair, yet looking at everything from a new angle. And that's just his opening number." - former roommate
"I don't understand it." - member of a spiritual recovery program
"Musicians who use odd time signatures are just trying to confuse people." - music listener
"'Rock' isn't really music." - psychiatrist
"It must be music because it uses more than three chords." - jazz harpist
"I only like music that uses more than one instrument, and am glad this does." - music devotee
"An electric guitar is not really an instrument." - college professor
"Only someone earning money doing music is called a musician." - social worker
"I only listen to music I've heard before." - audience member
"I like it because it's short." - psychology resident

Sounds Like: "It's classical." - rock musician

"It's jazz." - classical musician

"It's rock." - jazz musician

"What type of music would you call that?" - piano teacher

"The good thing about this kind of music is that you can't tell where the mistakes are." - pop music listener

"Dave Brubeck meets the Wolfman." - music critic

"The songs sound like HIM. What I mean is, the music sounds like his music and the words sound like his words." - recording engineer

"This is a song about one of those situations that we find ourselves in so often. One of those six-way love affairs where your third wife's dog doesn't get along with your bisexual girlfriend's lesbian lover's cat. You know, the same old shit. But I didn't want this song to be like all the other six-way love songs, so that's why, as you can see, I've filled the piano with water and tropical fish, effectively making a musical aquarium out of it, so that the sound of the music as well as the lyrics reflects the complexity and density of thought that went into it." - explanation of song by Adam Levin (as told by Jay Mark)
