Ha I was just about to post on twitter asking if everyone just felt no types of way about this song because I had seen zero discussion of it anywhere, which felt unusual for such a big hit.
IIRC, this is kind of why I started this thread? Like, it's just sort of a pleasant-sounding song that nobody really loves or hates.

I'm kind of at the same point of I like it fine on the radio but otherwise have no use for it.
― The Reverend, Monday, 4 August 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link
xp yeah that's exactly it

I really do like hearing African guitar on the radio tho, I just wish it was attached to something more exciting.
― The Reverend, Monday, 4 August 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link
ha -- that's almost worth a thread. Londonbeat's "I've Been Thinking of You" had that terrific Fela-esue break.

*Fela-esque
i feel like people weren't talking about magic much until it was top 10 either, and only really got into thinkpiece mode once it made #1
i hate the "ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah" bit so much

wonder if sting's gonna get away from his songs about sea captains and whatnot long enough to take advantage of pop radio's post-gotye interest his old steez

do we like this song more or less than maroon 5's "maps"
― da croupier, Monday, 4 August 2014 17:19 (nine years ago) link
unless Maroon 5's "Maps" goes "Wait/They don't love you like I love you" I don't really care
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Monday, 4 August 2014 17:22 (nine years ago) link
omg djp you need to hear "maps" so you can hate me, it's so obnoxious
one of the hooks is a descending "folloWING folloWING folloWING folloWING"

oh THIS song
eh *shrug*

Ha, I was gonna come here and post something about Sting's emergence as major male vocal influence of the 2010s, but croup already there.

every time I want to clown Adam Levine/Maroon 5, I remember that OneRepublic is out there as a successful band and I re-examine my priorities/targets

haha i'll confess to liking the last two ornery pube-lick songs
Nico & Vinz' first album (back when they were named Envy) is named The Magic Soup & The Bittersweet Faces but sadly none of the song titles are remotely that colorful
― da croupier, Monday, 4 August 2014 17:31 (nine years ago) link
new onerepublic song is basically a rewrite of 'rumour has it,' which tedder co-wrote
and i'll still rep for thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7urpKDaj0PE

"Counting Stars" is my favorite of those Arcade Fire-inspired ones. Granted, it took hearing it 543,000 times an hour to feel this way.

did you ever hear him sing it at an awards show, because that experience is hilarious
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Monday, 4 August 2014 18:11 (nine years ago) link
Every one of those times I've had to go to the bathroom or cut my toenails

can't remember which one i saw him do it at, but yeah, he seemed a little worse for wear
― da croupier, Monday, 4 August 2014 18:27 (nine years ago) link
lmao i remember watching him sing it on some show (grammys?) and he would lose his breath before even singing a note
― dyl, Monday, 4 August 2014 19:52 (nine years ago) link
anyway i kinda like "am i wrong," it is a pleasant radio song and i like the way his voice sounds when he sings 'that's just how i feel'
― dyl, Monday, 4 August 2014 19:53 (nine years ago) link
"Am I Wrong" feels a little like a throwback 90s hit; reminds of when Sonique could have a hit

Ryan Tedder puts his talent into his music and genius into his hair.

It sounds like Men At Work, in not necessarily a bad way! Apparently it was on their album when they were still called Envy two years ago. I assume there's a new one in the pipeline?

if you play this back-to-back with the Mr Probz song you turn into a muslin shawl are blown approx 30 km out to sea

I found it I'm out right now but when I get back I'll hook you up. Spoiler: it's a TRAP remix

I like the sound of this album. Some of the lyrics are def a bit cringeworthy though.
― longneck, Sunday, 5 October 2014 10:59 (nine years ago) link
It's very late eighties, with echoes of Sting, Tom Petty, Bob Marley etc all over the place, but it sounds fresh.

i feel like a cornball for also liking "in your arms"
― dyl, Friday, 12 December 2014 06:33 (nine years ago) link
I kind of like how "Waves" is effectively functioning as the second Nico & Vinz single instead of the actual second Nico & Vinz single.
