I’ve heard a couple songs from One Republic, basically just the ones they release as singles – Apologize and Stop & Stare. I’m sure most of you have heard them, if not, it’s ok to turn on the radio from time to time :)
But today my little bro, Chad, introduced me to some other songs on their newest album, Dreaming Out Loud.
These guys are awesome! It’s not too often that you find a CD and fall in love with every single song. The last time it happened to me was when Snow Patrol released Eyes Open. Which, by the way…is also worth every cent.
Getting back…the lead singer, Ryan Tedder, has a flawless voice and is even more impressive live.
I’ve picked 3 songs (besides the above two) that I think are the best on the album, and here they are:
Won’t Stop*
This song is basically my current situation in musical form, look up the lyrics for this one…I’m sure you’ll have someone who you can sing it to.
Say (All I need)*
I’m positive this will be the next single to be released…in fact, I have no idea why they didn’t release it first. Did I mention his voice? Amazing.
Mercy*
This one has more of a rock feel to it, and I that’s probably why I liked it. It has a lot of similarities to Switchfoot too, really sweet lyrics, and again with the voice.
*I’m still working on the player, so right now I don’t have one. I’ve linked to videos on youtube for the time being.



Oh! Now I want to buy the album! I have the Aplologize single, and listen to it often
