I think "Silly Love Songs" is great. The seeming banality of the song is
obviously deliberate, a response to criticisms of the banality of his
""silly love songs." Then eventually he gets to some nice ear candy vocal
derring do, stretching out more than you usually get to do in a number one
single, then at the end he snaps back; "What's wrong with that?" Its
metatextual. Every time I hear it, I sort of feel like, "point taken."
But my favorite song on that record is "Beware My Love."
