6. Come To Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRkWHc6gloI The Love Ballad. A Goo Goo Dolls record wouldnt be the same without a stringed love song, even if this one does get a little soppy at times. Apparently Rzeznik tried to grow a beard when writing it, and in one of his interviews he mentioned that the song represents his relationship with his fiancé, looking forward to their marriage. Todays the day Ill make you mine / So get me to the church on time rings wedding bells and first dances, much like Iris has been for many couples. It also brings back memories of an acoustic Goo Goo Dolls (i.e. the one we love). The doo doos were a risk, but work an absolute treat on this song, and it adds a genuine quality to the overall feel. For all the aspiring singer songwriters out there trying to score with women, you might find the trick with this one.
7. More Of You
Along with Rebel Beat, the Heys in this track demonstrate the Goos straying away from what theyre good at; theyre not the Lumineers!! Miss out this song, for its dullness doesnt give the record justice, especially as an electronic undertone distracts the listener from the melody. I dont even want to review it in any more detail.
