Riff: OneRepublic – “Counting Stars”

Jul 18, 2013

I see this life like a swinging vine/Swing my heart across the line/And my face is flashing signs

from Counting Stars lyrics by OneRepublic

Another fine example of his songwriting prowess, even if it does resemble a more socially-conscious version of Train‘s “Drive By,” Tedder wishes he could give up the rat race and focus on a lifestyle where counting shining spheres is considered more important than counting dollar bills; [LISTEN].
