Have you ever wondered why celebrities impulsively marry in Las Vegas? Because the spontaneous marriage proposal is hard to resistespecially if the guy is young, talented and cute, as in the case of Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars' "Marry You" lyrics are unabashedly sweet, silly and tender and comparable to his other expressive songs.
Bruno Mars' style is not always popular, not in a world that likes poker faces and female-empowerment. However, those who recognize where Mars is coming from, namely a love of Motown and silly love songs from the 1950s and 1960s era, love his work. Most of Mars' fans, and even some of his detractors, admit the song is catchy and as good as the love-pop genre gets. USA Today's criticism is particularly interesting, as they compare the happy and impulsive Bruno Mars of Marry You lyrics to the despairing Bruno in Grenade, a sorrowful song.
Bruno Mars admits his impulses get the best of him, as confesses in the second verse of the song, "We're looking for something dumb to do, Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you." Perhaps Mars' impulsive behavior is a flaw, and perhaps divorcees who have made the mistake of marrying on a whim will detest the song. However, this is a song meant for idealistic lovers and it well captures that feeling of spontaneity, risk and beautiful uncertainty with Marry You lyrics like "Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go, No one will know, Come on girl, Who cares if we're trashed, Got a pocket full of cash we can blow."
You might not know this about Bruno Mars, but he has also co-written songs by other artists, including "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Kesha, and "F You!" by Cee Lo Green. To anyone who's heard those songs, it's probably not that big of a surprise. Despite Cee Lo Green's harsh mouth, the emotional delivery in that song and the Motown composition are similar to what Mars creates on his own. Ever since Bruno made a name for himself, he is thinking positive with smooch-worthy love songs intended for his female (and emotionally sensitive male) fans.
The mind behind Marry You lyrics, Bruno Mars, is still a young man and is fresh on the music scene. His love of old school music is apparent, considering the title of his album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans." Why not let Bruno Mars sing you a love song right now?
