Stop & Stare




Yes, we are going to continue with more music following the suggestions of some of you (if you don't make suggestions, I won't write about the things you are interested in) and the winner is "One Republic". I have listened to many of their songs lately, but I didn't know anything about their origins.

From Colorado Springs in the USA, this band of five boys started to deal with music at high school, where Tedder and Zach knew each other. Together and with a small group of friends put a band known as This beautiful mess, performing in local bars of the area. They separated and after a couple of years, they met again and Eddie Fisher, Brent Kutzle and Drew Brown added to the group, former called Republic.

After years of moderate success, they have drawn mainstream attention after the release of their widely-known single "Apologize", selling nothing less than seven million singles worldwide. But I think that their second single, which gives the title to the post, is going to be even more successful. In the UK and the USA, they have already released the third ("Say all I need") and the fourth single respectively ("Mercy"). Nowadays, they have often been compared to Maroon 5, The Fray, Keane and Coldplay, which means they make really good music.

In the video, you can watch Stop and Stare, the last single released in Spain. I prefer it to Apologize, I think it's more rythmic, though slow, sentimental but very sweet to listen to alone or with someone... What do you think?

the song isn't bad, but, can you write about another topics or only about music? For example, you can write about sports. I don't need to say about what team and player I want that you write

At last there is a boy who participates in this blog and who SUGGESTS something different to write! Ok, I take note. Some of these days you'll find a post about sports. Your favourite team was Manchester UD, wasn't it? I'm just joking...See you!

Hello Patricia!

oohh! I have heard the song "Apologize" before, I like it more than "stop and stare". Although this isn't bad but I don't like the video.

Could you write about more modern music? As for example, Duffy. I like her song "Mercy".

Well, I'm leaving you, I am going to do my homework.

Many kisses.

The song is Cool, I like it (and is very difficult that I like a song that I had never listened) but I think that Apologize is better than Stop & Stare.

Bye bye ^^

¡Hello!

I had never heard of this group. I don't like this song because in my opinion is very slow.

A very big kiss.
