I'm not a big fan of One Republic but do like a few songs from them. Today i was listening to stop and stare on my ipod and noticed that the album name was Dreaming Out Loud. So i pulled out my phone and searched the band on wikipedia and surely enough one of their biggest influences is U2. I'm sure most of you know that the lyric "dream out loud" has appeared in quite a few U2 songs over the years (Acrobat, Zooropa, Always). I thought i would share this little discovery and see what y'all think about it. Is it purely coincidence or did they borrow my fav U2 lyric for their album name? hmmmmm
