Wherever I go
Wherever I go I'll be looking for you. Ryan Tedder croons at the beginning of this fantastic song. Wherever I go is the first single of his band One Republic. Since when, 2014? Two long years they have been away, leaving us in the hands of new and old bands like DNCE, FallOut Boy, and Coldplay. By the way, what happened to Maroon 5?
Back to OneRepublic, and their grand return. I call it grand because I have never seen a comeback like this. Well, apart from Beyonce's of course. They released the new song on May 13th, and the video 4 days later. Did you know that it is the theme song for the 2016 movie XMen: Apocalpyse? More reason to watch it if you haven't. Yes, I'm talking to me.
There's so much to love about this song. The dance funk themes in it. Basically the way it makes you feel - like dancing the hell out of your body. And the video, is just the icing on the cake. If you haven't watched it, it follows a Korean business man whose life is transformed by the song. Well in his head that is. It features bright colors, dancing that resembles acrobatics, and basically sheer fun. I guess you could say OneRepublic have gone Gangnam Style.
I know it's only the sixth month, but I think that Wherever I go is is the song of the year. Or of the summer at least. Ryan Tedder and his boys have proved to me why they are one of my top bands. I simply cannot wait for what else they have in store in their upcoming album to be released this year. I really hope it's going to be as lit as Wherever I Go. Well, I doubt anything can be as good as it, but this is a great start.
Here is a live version of the song, which makes me love the song even more.
