Marriage and fatherhood have softened up Bush's front man, Gavin Rossdale. "Love remains the same" is a departure from Gavin's formerly punk rock sound. It's the sort of song one expects when radio stations have their "Between the sheets,after 8 pm on weeknights." It wouldn't be out of place on a New Age/smooth jazz station.

"Love remains the same" is a pleasant,rather boring song about...love in everyday life. One can hear that Gavin's lyrics draw their inspiration from his day-to-day life with Gwen Stefani, No Doubt. It's nice to hear a song about fidelity, still being in love when the initial flush of passion has worn off, and finding joy in the mundane. Still, it doesn't have to be so... dull. Gavin sounds at times like another Sting. Since his wife is renowned as a gay icon,one wonders if his "Love remains the same" will be a staple at same-sex nuptials for couples who have been together for years before making it legal. The song remains the same,for better or worse.
