It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to share the beats that we love. This week’s song is by the band OneRepublic and it was chosen by Briatni West. Enjoy!
Song: I Lived
Artist: OneRepublic
Year: 2013
Genre: Pop Rock/Alternative Rock
How I found it: I was listening to Spotify Radio at work one day. This song popped up, and I was hooked.
This song makes me feel: This song is full of life. It makes me want to take advantage of every opportunity and say “yes” and take risks and be adventurous.
Favorite Part: I love how the music softens during the lines “Hope when the moment comes/ you’ll say…” at the end of the first verse. It’s like the standing at the edge of the diving board right before you jump in.
Other associations (images, colors): You know the way the sun looks when it’s just starting to set? When it casts that golden tint on everything it touches? If that had a sound, it would be this song. It’s a bit like the film “We Bought A Zoo.”
