마룬 5는 자신들의 출신지인 LA를 떠나 뉴욕으로 건너가 그곳에서 힙합과 블루스 등 흑인 음악의 원류를 흡수했고 여기에 흡인력 강한 팝적인 멜로디를 결합해 대중의 입맛에 착착 감기는 달달한 음악을 만들어내어 성공가도를 질주하고 있다
‘Maps’는 펑키(funky)한 초기의 전형적인 마룬 5표 음악들과는 다소 다른, 팝/록 사운드를 추구하고 있는 작품이다. 심플하면서도 은은한 기타 리프 인트로에 애덤 리바인(Adam Levine) 특유의 매력적인 하이 톤 보컬 그리고 겹겹이 쌓아올린 보컬 하모니가 동행하는 곡이다. 하지만 그런 가운데서도 이들의 전매특허인 리듬감은 여전히 살아있다.
이 곡은 애덤 리바인과 아마르 말릭, 베니 블랑코 등이 함께 만든 작품인데 특히 아마르 말릭과 베니 블랑코는 이전 히트작들인 ‘Moves Like Jagger’와 ‘Payphone’ 등에도 참여했던 바 있다. 또 다른 송라이터들인 노엘 잔카넬라와 라이언 테더는 ‘Love Somebody’, ’Lucky Strike’ 등에 참여한 바 있다.
I miss the taste of the sweet life I miss the conversation I'm searching for a song tonight I'm changing all of the stations I like to think that we had it all We drew a map to a better place But on that road I took a fall Oh baby, why did you run away? I was there for you In your darkest times I was there for you In your darkest nights But I wonder where were you When I was at my worst Down on my knees And you said you had my back So I wonder where were you All the roads you took came back to me So I'm following the map that leads to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following I hear your voice in my sleep at night Hard to resist temptation 'Cause something strange has come over me Now I can't get over you No I just can't get over you I was there for you In your darkest times I was there for you In your darkest nights But I wonder where were you When I was at my worst Down on my knees And you said you had my back So I wonder where were you All the roads you took came back to me So I'm following the map that leads to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, oh Oh, I was there for you Oh, in you darkest times Oh, I was there for you Oh, in your darkest nights Oh, I was there for you Oh, in you darkest times Oh, I was there for you Oh, in your darkest nights But I wonder where were you When I was at my worst Down on my knees And you said you had my back So I wonder where were you All the roads you took came back to me So I'm following the map that leads to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following to you The map that leads to you Ain't nothing I can do The map that leads to you Following, following, following |
