Music.. one republic!

In this post I'm writing about one of my favorite bands-One republic for which all I could say is that their songs have really powerful lyrics and that the group is just great!

I have a lot of favorite songs but the two that I just love are "Mercy" and "All We Are". The meaning of the lyrics is so strong. When I listen to these songs, I feel as if I am part of them. These people, these musicians should understand the strength of their music, they should know how they influence people. The rhythm of the songs is just great and I have nothing to criticize.

I will give you information about how the band started, some of its albums, etc. The band was formed in 2002 in Colorado. Its first name was "Republic" but after that they changed it to "One Republic". The band became famous with its singles "Apologize" ( sang with Timbaland and was released in 2007 ) and "Stop and Stare" (which was released in 2008). The band has two albums and several singles. The two albums are "Dreaming Out Loud" (which was released in 2007) and "Waking Up" (which was released in 2009). The group said that they are making a two new singles called "Everybody Loves Me" and "Good Life" which are expected to be released that year (2010).

The current members of the group are Ryan Tedder (who is a lead vocal, plays piano, guitar,keyboards, and tambourine), Zach Filkins (who plays the guitar, drums, viola and sometimes sings the vocal), Drew Brown (who plays the guitar,bass guitar, and glockenspiel), Eddie Fisher (who plays drums) and Brent Kutzle.

Here I will give you the lyrics of the song "All We Are"

All We Are

I tried to paint you a picture,
the colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
And all along, you were shaded with patience,
your strokes of everything that I need just to make it

And I believe that I could tear you apart
but it won't break anything that you are, you are
We'll say our goodbyes you know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need, all we need, our love is at a bind

I walked a minute in your shoes,
they never would've fit
I figured there's nothing to lose
I need to get some perspective
on these words before I write them down
You're an island and my ship is running ground

I could tear your apart,
but it won't break anything that we are, we are
We'll say our goodbyes you know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need all we need, our love is at a bind

Every single day that I can breathe,
you changed my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by
So don't say your goodbyes
you know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change (x2)
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need, all we need, our love is at a bind
