One of my favourite albums and songs alike has been, for an incredibly long time, Dreaming Out Loud by OneRepublic. I vividly remember finding the album in front of my door with a lot of chocolate on a morning in some December in the past.
I saw an interview with Ryan Tedder around the time Apologize started getting a lot of attention. He was very fascinated by Timbaland and his skills; nowadays Ryan Tedder himself has worked on what feels like every other famous song. I feel very lucky to have seen OneRepublic live a bunch of times, but unfortunately, as always, the secret bonus tracks are my favourites rather than the singles that get played at every show.
OneRepublic gigs are different from gigs I usually go to, cause they can fill an entire set with just very famous singles. For me personally that’s a little annoying, always hoping for songs seemingly no one else cares about.
Dreaming Out Loud has been a favourite of mine for what feels like forever. I think it was one of the first albums I had, maybe even the second or third one. I wanted to incorporate the original artwork in my piece, I really like it. It’s a album that feels a little like nighttime, gloomy, on the quiet side. I go back to listening to it every now and then.
