Song Of The Day: Melodime – Little Thing Called Love

Posted on

Every once in a while everyone needs to hear a classic love song, preferably steeped in the wisdom of southern music style, ideally with a happy ending. Enter Melodime.

Melodime hails from (close to) my hometown in Northern Virginia but the quartet has mastered and reinvented the southern-flavored alt rock style you may associate with New Orleans or Nashville. Lead singer Brad Rhodes’ has a hypnotic voice that calms while it energizes – soothes while it sings. The rest of the talented group supports Rhodes with a lovely combination of keys, drums, and strings – and nowhere (in my opinion) do their talents come together better than in their recent single “Little Thing Called Love.”

The song testifies to the power of love, be it on the road, under the moonlight, or in one’s dreams. It’s simple in its lyrics and its rhythms, making it instantly recognizable and enjoyable. And with that, enough said. Let’s keep it simple. Take a listen and you’ll see what I mean:
