The other couple we invited were obsessed with them, and knew them over OR. Zach, Brian, Brent and the rest playing violins, the cello, of course the piano - it was all such a great musical delight.

They were blown away by all the songs Ryan has written by other artists, but also the musical talent of the entire band. We brought friends with us for the UltraVIP experience and it did not disappoint! One couple we took knew OneRepublic music, but did not fully appreciate the talent of Ryan and the band until they experienced it with us up close and personal on the 5th row. Mönchengladbach, Germany SparkassenPark Mönchengladbach Nevertheless I love their music and probably always will - but at this very moment I doubt if I’ll go to another concert ever again. That’s why I hate 'If I lose myself': It irrefutably marks the end of the show - period.Įspecially after 2 years of pandemic I simply expected more. Besides the fact that there’s no (or almost no) change in the ongoing tour’s set list (it’s all on YouTube) the shows are completely predictable and even Ryan’s interactions with the audience is pretty much the same every time - all he does is adding some more 'f*cking’s' to his speeches :-/ (if you know that people are bringing their kids and Ryan being a father, too - I expect him to be aware that he’s a role model!). At least not if that leads to a huge gap in the repertoire of original 1R songs! Would have LOVED them to play Let’s hurt tonight or Kids or Run or Something I need or Better or The less I know or All the right moves or at least WEST COAST instead of Ryan’s personal projects. I can’t tell why he obviously thinks attending a OneRepublic’s concert means everyone also wants to hear what he once has written for Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, Ellie Goulding or the Jonas Bros. That said, the show was too short by far! They only played roughly an hour and a half - and about 20 minutes were just about Tedder showing off. The sound was perfect, the venue was quite alright, not too big and provided grandstands/seatings, the weather conditions couldn’t have been ANY better. It's certainly NOT 'sick of all the act sincere.Saw them again for the first time in 8 years and was extremely hyped! They’re undoubtedly one of the most perfect musicians you can ever enjoy playing live and Ryan Tedder’s voice is absolutely awesome and a pure delight to listen to. It's certainly NOT 'sick of all the act sincere.' Thought you saw me wink, no I've been on the brink, soĪll the problems, bet we could solve them I'm gonna give all my secrets away.' Reason: He's going to be honest and show us who he really is, and he hopes people will appreciate that. He's realized that he doesn't care about shocking everyone with the perfect, story he's sick of everyone working so hard to get attention that way and he wishes that people weren't so shallow and insincere.įinally, I hear a plea for people to pay attention to him for the right reasons - his music, his personality, his dedication to what he does - even though he doesn't have an 'exciting' life that would be on all the magazine covers. He's doing what he is just because he loves doing it, not because he wants fame and attention. It sounds like he realizes that if he did that he would get a lot of attention, but he personally feels like it's not worth it. I don't care if critics never jump in line.' This time, I don't need another perfect line. But the chorus convinces me that that's not the case.

The first time I listened to the song, I thought he had become so desperate that he had decided to just make up some story or do something dangerous that would attract a lot of attention. 'Got no reason, got no shame, got no family I can blame.'

However, he doesn't have an exciting story about a troubled family life or a dark, shameful past the kind of stories that people love to gossip about. My life gets kind of boring, need something that I can confess.'

'I need another story, something to get off my chest. It sounds like the person singing is feeling a lot of pressure to tell some juicy story that will have everyone talking about him so that he can be in the spotlight again. This time, don't need another perfect lieįor the most part, I agree with what others have been saying about the meaning.
