Mood: Please refer to Music

Haven´t had a chance to do a proper update for the longest time ever. This is not going to be too long but I can't not write about this song when it's become the song of the month. OneRepublic has, since Trisha recommended them- become a one hit favourite with Apologize. I've had the entire album 'Dreaming Out Loud' for the longest time but I never listened to it so lately (especially since the whole iPod went berzerk on me, and I have a huge list from Chris P (not you Canada Chris) to go through) I needed -relatively- new music so I remember OneRepublic.

Dreaming Out Loud is a soft CD. I see a relativity to Coldplay's melody like Fix You and The Scientist, but also Augie March when it comes to the lyrics. Especially Dreaming Out Loud. Well read this:

hello sir, we live for Mondays,
Confident we'll get there someday,
Pushing all the papers to a wealthy man,
Might I say, a beautiful tie you wear,
And how do you find such lovely polka dots and stripes these days?

I think of Augie March. It has a randomness and totally abstract point of view that listeners need to listen to it a couple times before it makes sense. Right. It's the apple for the teacher, the sucking up to your boss. But its written in a way that I think what? Basically, its a musically simple melody backed up by really really strong lyrics.

At the same time Say (All I Need) is something Coldplay like. Its simple BUT beautiful. OneRepublic totally has me wrapped around their CD.
