More about this title
About the Artist: OneRepublic
OneRepublic formed in 2002 and built their reputation on polished pop productions with rock undertones and introspective lyrics. Led by Ryan Tedder, a gifted vocalist and producer, the band balances accessible melodies with sophisticated harmonic choices. Their willingness to explore both intimate arrangements and high-energy production styles makes them a natural fit for choral directors seeking contemporary material with substance.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer captures the raw energy of this track without losing the emotional core that makes the original compelling. The pounding percussion and forward-driving piano give your ensemble something visceral to latch onto, while the arrangement respects both vocal and instrumental lines equally. Audiences consistently respond to this material because it sounds fresh and purposeful rather than diluted.
What to expect
Restless and propulsive. The arrangement channels a rock mentality through pop sensibilities: there's an undertow of urgency in the harmonic rhythm and percussion that keeps everything moving forward. Even quiet moments feel tense rather than reflective, creating momentum that carries listeners through the arc.
Who it's for
Choirs and bands looking for contemporary material that doesn't sacrifice musicality for trendiness. This works well for programs serving students aged 14 and up who connect with modern production sounds but also appreciate solid arranging craft.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the rhythmic precision in the drum part first. The pocket of this arrangement depends on absolute clarity in the kick and snare figures, especially during the verses.
- Shape the vocal line with intention during the chorus. The lyrics deserve clarity, but the melody can feel melodramatic if you push too hard; aim for conviction rather than volume.
- Let the piano rhythm breathe in spots. Brymer has likely built in moments where the accompaniment pulls back slightly; respect those dynamics to keep the arrangement from feeling relentless.
- Rehearse the transition between sections separately. The shift from verse to pre-chorus to chorus moves quickly, and your ensemble needs secure landmarks to hit those gear changes together.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary tracks to anchor a concert segment aimed at younger audiences or parents who follow current music. The energy and familiarity make it an excellent closer for a mixed repertoire concert, or a strong opener if you want to establish excitement early. It also works as a standalone feature piece when you want to showcase your ensemble's ability to lock in with modern production values.
Skills your students will build
- Rhythmic precision with syncopated parts across multiple instrumental lines
- Sustaining ensemble cohesion during fast harmonic changes
- Balancing rock production elements with vocal clarity and control
- Responding to recorded accompaniment while maintaining independence
