Love Out Loud - Jaci Velasquez

Advantages: Some brilliant tracks
Disadvantages: Too many awful tracks

...vocals which just made it really horrible to listen to. This is just Ryan Tedder and his piano and it really works so well together and it was a joy to listen to. The lyrics are beautiful, they work so well with this song and I was shocked to say the least. I would never associate One Republic with amazing lyrics but this track is just so simple and so raw, that the lyrics are sung to their best and he manages to get the message across so well. Beautiful. My Opinion: One word, Beautiful. Rating: 10/10 Memorable Lyrics: "I get lost in the beauty Of everything i see The world ain't as half as bad As they paint it to be If all the sons If all the daughters Stopped to take it in Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin It might start now..Yeahh Well maybe I'm just dreaming out loud Until then...

Something's Not Right Here (bonus) - A ballad which, again, is pretty forgettable once its... Read review

...Some months ago, I found at YouTube the song "Apologize" by One Republic. I started to play it and I liked very much what I'm listening to, so after the end of the song, I pushed the button "replay" and at the end, I pushed "replay" once again, and again... That's why I would like to share with you a little bit more about the CD "dreaming out Loud" that was released in November 20, 2007. --- Why I like it --- One Republic is great music. Their tunes have perfect harmony, instruments and the lyrics are in the ears to fit. The music is so expressive that you can get even without the lyrics what is it about . Some bands make you stirred up, some peace you down, but what I like in One Republic is that they have a balance in what they play, if they stir up they do it softly, if they share peace they make it in a way that is not...
