Although OneRepublic was popularised by their song Apologise ft. Timberland, they have some pretty good tracks to listen to on their album, Dreaming Out Loud. It’s funny though, I don’t really like their title track, Dreaming Out Loud. I usually prefer the title track over the other songs but I just didn’t find it to my taste this time around.
Stop and Stare has already made it into the mainstream media and Say (All I Need) will most likely be all over the radio as their 3rd single to be released so I won’t go into how nice it is, you can judge for yourself. But I also really like their song Goodbye Apathy. It has a really nice beat, and when the music and vocals combine, it makes a great chillout song.
Mercy, Someone To Save You and Prodigal are another few tracks to have a listen to. Wow, that’s almost their whole album! Anyway, I’ll end it here with the lyrics to Goodbye Apathy and Mercy.
I can’t sleep. No, not like I used to
I can’t breathe in and out like I need to
It’s breaking ice now, to make any movement
What’s your vice? You know that mine’s the illusion
And all at once I can help you out
(As I’m trying just to keep things right)
I’ll be what you need, I’ll do anything
(I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)
Goodbye apathy. So long, apathySo don’t sit still. And don’t you move away from here
So goodbye apathy. So long fancy free
(As I’m trying just to keep things right)
Goodbye apathy. I don’t wanna be … you
(I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)I don’t walk right, not like I used to
There’s a jump in my step, as I rush to see you
I could be happy here
As long as you’re near to me
As long as you’re close to me
Now that I’m alright I can help you out
(As I’m trying just to keep things right)
I’ll be what you need. I’ll do anything
(I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)
Goodbye apathy. So goodbye apathySo don’t you stop pushing me. I can take so much
So goodbye apathy. So long fancy free
(As I’m trying just to keep things right)
Goodbye apathy. I don’t wanna be…you…
(I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too
Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too
(I can’t sleep no, not like I used to)
Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too
(I can’t breathe in and out like I need to)
Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too
(It’s breaking ice now, to make any movement)
Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too
(What’s your vice? You know that mine’s the illusion)
Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too
OneRepublic - Mercy lyrics.
Angel of Mercy
How did you find me?
Where did you read my story?
Pulled from the papers
Desperate and hardened
Seeking a momentary fixAll I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
It’s all my fault now
A tragedy I fearAngel of Mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa Whoa Whoa…
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa…Before just the daylight
Come and I stand by
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Flying to nowhere
It’s better than somewhere
That’s where I’ve been and nothing’s changedAll I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
It’s all my fault now
A tragedy for sureAngel of Mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again
And I see you
Whoa Whoa Whoa…
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa…I’m so lost in you
A tragedy
It seemed to be
Over now…(over now)
A tragedy
It seemed to be
Over nowAngel of Mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa Whoa Whoa…
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa…
I feel you
Oh oh whoa…
I feel you
Whoa Oh Oh…
