Saliva: 50 Best Songs From Their Career (So Far)

44. "Groovy" - Saliva

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1dQGDH0wYA Back when they started, Saliva had a tendency to dish out some songs that were fun to listen to. "Groovy" is one of the better enjoyable songs because of it's mature nature and preliminary use of feel-good lyrics of pointing out someone else's superiority complex. While singing primarily of someone who lies their way through every situation, I see "Groovy" as one of those songs where it feels great to call someone out on their bull. "I'll get my groove on" can be taken as a way of celebrating the fact of not standing up to that person's rotten attitude and personality, but instead getting groovy knowing you're in a better position than them.

43. "Holdin' On" - Back Into Your System

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFU0HeDfsAY Another contender off of Back Into Your System, "Holdin' On" comes from an early inspiration that led directly to Survival of the Sickest. Telling the tale of having everything in life, such as being a rockstar playing in front of thousands of screaming fans to the huge paychecks at the end of each concert, but ending up living an average life of pain and loneliness, "Holdin' On" sings a classic story of someone fulfilling their dreams, but in the process they're still a part of the bigger picture rather than in a higher form of power. They acknowledge the pain of living a normal life, yet they preserve and push forward, doing what they do best: holding on and living the dream.

42. "Never Gonna Change" - Blood Stained Love Story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pheG79j-SxM After departing their classic rock 'n' roll sound for a more softer, emotional touch, Saliva entered a phase where dejected and depressed lyrics and adrenaline laced anthems were the name of the game; thus came Saliva's fifth studio album, Blood Stained Love Story. Emotion is the focus, and with "Never Gonna Change" comes a unique take on relationships on how the faults don't always fall onto just one person. With its focus on not changing certain ways, the tune fits willingly in the lives of those who accept their faults and want to change, knowing they can't, but also to those who never accept who they are and thus never change, leading to a sense of closure between both recipients. Josey Scott is the center of attraction here, his voice lending credibility and sentiment to an already depressing song that is sure to connect with a lot of people deep inside.
