I have been blessed to spend the week here in Columbus Ohio. To pay hommage to my excellent week here, I decided to look up a band from here and Saving Jane popped up.

Saving Jane is an American pop rock band from Columbus, Ohio, led by the talented vocalist Marti Dodson. The band gained significant attention with their hit single “Girl Next Door,” which peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2006. This song, featured on their album of the same name, resonates with themes of self-image and jealousy, as it narrates the feelings of an outcast admiring yet envying the popular girl. The lyrics cleverly explore the internal conflict of wishing to be someone else, while acknowledging the beauty and perfection of the “prom queen” type. “Girl Next Door” became a staple of early 2000s pop culture, reflecting Saving Jane’s unique ability to craft relatable and catchy music.
