I did not know how to capture the amazing experience that was the One Republic concert, so I instead decided to blend together lyrics of their songs to attempt to convey the experience. The italicized words are parts of their lyrics from various songs. I would have used quotations marks, but sometimes punctuation is too constraining.
Hello world
Hope you’re reading
Woke up in London today
Found myself in the city near Greenwich
Don’t really know how I got here
Transfers on the tube that I didn’t really follow
Address to concert arenas like Peninsula Square
Had a dream in other years
About how I wanted to see
One Republic live.
I get lost in the beauty
Of every song I heard
In all three albums
For the last seven years
So I decided
No more counting dollars
I’ll be counting stars
Said no more counting dollars
We’ll be, we’ll be counting stars
Let’s paint the picture of the perfect place
With perfect notes, sparking lights, and crowd of thousands
Between the noise I hear, and the sounds I like
Am I just sinking in an ocean of faces?
All I can think
when the crowd screams out
And sings aloud with every lyrics is..
Oh, This has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
When this year and night comes to an end…
I will definitely say…
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Like splurging on concerts
With every new memory
I swear I lived
