One Republic

Explore folhas de piano de One Republic no Zen Virtual Piano. OneRepublic is a band whose debut album is Dreaming Out Loud. Ryan Tedder and Zach Filkins parted ways when senior year ended, each attending a different college. They reunited in Los Angeles in 2003 and formed their second band under the name Republic. Tedder, by then an established songwriter and record producer, had convinced Filkins to relocate from Chicago. Tedder's standing as a songwriter and producer by 2003, beside his authorship of Apologize, may suggest that songwriting runs through his work with OneRepublic. The record company mentioned that the name Republic might bring legal action from other, similarly named bands, and the name was changed to OneRepublic. Two months before their album was due out, with Sleep as its debut single, Columbia Records dropped OneRepublic. The band was beginning to gain prominence on MySpace, and Tedder said it was the number-one unsigned act there. Tedder credits the website for keeping the band together. Columbia Records' drop two months before the album's release, beside Tedder crediting MySpace, may hint at an online following that mattered to the band's course. Apologize is a song written by Ryan Tedder. It first appeared on Timbaland's second studio album Shock Value in 2007. Timbaland gave the song a slightly more R&B feel through a rearrangement that brought extra backing vocals, a guitar bass line, new drums and autotune on the lead vocals. His version omits the guitar solo that follows the second verse in the original. Timbaland's added backing vocals and new drums, beside Tedder's authorship of the song, may hint at one song carrying more than one hand. The band invited fans on Myspace to make a video, and Aaron Platt, a filmmaker, delivered the clip for the original Apologize in 2006. Apologize was also the debut single for the band's first album, Dreaming Out Loud, which Greg Wells produced. On Shock Value it came out as the third single (the fourth in Australia), next to the original OneRepublic recording. Apologize earned the band their first Grammy nomination for best pop performance in a group or duo. The 2006 video for the original version, beside a Grammy nomination for best pop performance by a group or duo, may point to Apologize drawing notice in more than one way. In 2009, OneRepublic were featured on the track Lost Then Found on Leona Lewis's second studio album Echo, and in November 2011 they released their first Christmas single, Christmas Without You.
