One Republic with Feel Again...

Colorado Springs, Colorado, home to the United States Olympic Training Center, the prestigious Colorado College and one of the 21st Century's most influential pop-rock bands, One Republic. Their catchy melodies, tuneful instrumentals and heartfelt lyrics have set them apart, inspiring many. With two collosal albums under their belt, Dreaming Out Loud and Waking Up, the Colorado five-piece return with the lead-single from their third studio-album, entitled Feel Again.

One Republic's sound has always been slightly downbeat and emotional, it's truly what the band do best. Pouring the same emotion into this song, yet with a bright, positive edge the band have stayed true to their unique sound that sees them climb the charts faster than it takes the band to perform the tune! Lead-singer, Ryan Tedder's highly creative songwriting ability is used to full-effect in 'Feel Again', which in the opening verse describes the strenuous pain in overcoming losing an ex-lover, yet meeting a new lover it's brought him back to life and he's simply able to "Feel Again". A tuneful guitar accompaniment and an emphatic drum-beat contribute to the catchy chorus, but, as with all One Republic songs, it's Tedder's passionate voice that makes it.

The video was filmed in a forest near San Francisco, California, it opens with Tedder walking across a leafy ground before a picturesque San Francisco Bay Sunset. He picks up a glowing yellow ball which is symbolic of the new life that is being breathed into him after meeting this new person, he runs towards the light and basks in the glowing warmth that a new relationship brings. The video brings the song to life and adds to the uplifting nature of the tune.

If their last two albums are anything to go by, we can expect more hits from this album!
