Counting Stars – OneRepublic
בשנת 2012 ביונסה וגיי זי הזמינו את ראיין טדר, סולן להקת One Republic
לאחוזה שלהם בהמפטונס בניו יורק על מנת לכתוב שירים לאלבום החדש של ביונסה.
זה היה הבית הכי גדול שראיין ביקר בו אי פעם.
בלילה הוא חשב לעצמו על כל הבעיות שיש לו בחיים,
איך ישלם את החשבונות, מה הוא רוצה מהחיים עצמם ולא הצליח להרדם.
הוא חשב לעצמו שאולי במקום לספור כבשים, הוא יספור כוכבים עד שיירדם.
בבוקר כבר היה לו את מבנה השיר והפזמון אבל הוא חשב שהשיר לא יתאים לביונסה והחליט לשמור אותו לעצמו.
לביונסה הוא כתב והפיק שיר אחר (XO).
אחרי חודשיים הוא הקליט גירסה ראשונה לשיר, אבל עדיין היה חסר לו משהו.
הוא לקח איתו את ההקלטה לאי סנטוריני ביוון. שם קיבל את ההשראה וסיים להקליט אותו שם.
הלהקה מילאה את פארק הירקון ב 2015, ובנובמבר הם מגיעים אלינו שוב.
מי היה כבר בהופעה? מי הולך? ומי סתם אהב את השיר? 🙂

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars" Yeah, we'll be counting stars I see this life, like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line And in my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars" Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars" Yeah, yeah I feel your love, and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn Hope is our four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars" Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars" Oh, take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Everything that kills me makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars" Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars" Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
