Heading to the OneRepublic concert tonight? Here are five tracks by the band you should hear

A year later, in 2007, OneRepublic recorded its first studio album Dreaming Out Loud and its lead single “Apologize” was remixed by record-producer and artist Timbaland. The mega-hit track even earned the band its first Grammy nomination and ruled the charts for quite a while in 16 countries. Till date, OneRepublic has sold over 50 million records worldwide. Now, that’s what you call ‘winning at life.’

In case, you are unfamiliar with their music, here are some of their top-charting favourites to get you started.

Apologize

We have to start with “Apologize” as that’s the song that made the band so popular in the first place. The lyrics are meaningful, and it’s the perfect song for a Karaoke night.

Secrets

“Secrets” is one of those songs from the band that find its strength in its lyrics. Sample this:

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I’m gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don’t need another perfect lie
Don’t care if critics ever jump in line
I’m gonna give all my secrets away

Good, isn’t it?

I Lived

OneRepublic knows how to get across the message of hope and love without sounding preachy. “I Lived” is one such track, and to top it all, it’s catchy. The beat gets to you.

All the Right Moves

The band is a gold mine for Karaoke nights. And the best part, each song is as different as the other.
