A gem of a ballad by Maroon 5 that captures a gentle moment of love set against a Sunday morning filled with the soft sound of rain.

Featured on the album “Songs About Jane,” released in 2002 by the quintessential American pop-rock band, it was issued as the fourth single in December 2004.

Also included on the U.S.

soundtrack of the film “Love Actually,” the song masterfully blends elements of jazz and R&B, harmonizing a soothing melody with Adam Levine’s deeply expressive vocals.

It celebrates the preciousness of quiet time spent with a lover amid busy days, making it a perfect track for a leisurely weekend morning or as relaxing background music to share with someone special.

The late legendary singer Amy Winehouse—her soul- and jazz-driven sound is still adored by many listeners and artists today.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Rehab.

Rather than a chill-time track, it’s a great pick for those who want to enjoy a lively lunch break with colleagues.
