You've spent years and years going up and down. We're not hard rock but we are a rock band. So to have our song remixed and made so much more pop, we were very reluctant. But then we were like, 'If this opens the door and allows more people to hear our album, it gives us the opportunity to let them hear our other songs.
I think we can win them over. So that's what we did. What can fans expect from your album, if they have only heard 'Apologize'? If people like 'Apologize', or love 'Apologize' then they'll love the rest of the album. I'm the songwriter on the rest of the album, so, a it comes from the same perspective and b , melodically, the overall feel and sound of it is the same throughout the album.
It's melancholy but hopeful at the same time. That's the sound of the rest of the record. Will you be playing live in the UK anytime soon?
Actually I'm pretty sure we'll be coming back in February and doing some shows then. So that will be great. Do you think it will be as big a hit? It still connects with 'Apologize' though. The thing that connects all the songs is the melodies. All the melodies are very universal and relatively simple. So if you listen to 'Stop and Stare' a couple of times, you'll find yourself singing it, and that's what we were going for. The bands and the songs that have influenced us are the ones that connect with the most people.
Those universal songs and records. The only difference between 'Apologize' and the rest of the album is if you've only heard the Timbaland version and like the beats. But if you like the lyrics, melody and the rest of the song, you'll like the rest of the album. Are you worried about becoming a one-hit wonder? It's not a fluke. I've been writing too many songs for too many years to put out a band that gets lucky one time.
It's not even about luck. This song connected with thousands of people on MySpace way before anyone heard it on radio. We definitely plan on following up 'Apologize' with a strong song and I don't even think it's the best song on the record. We've got songs on the album that have never been posted on the internet that we all feel very strongly about as a band.
So I'm excited to get to the rest of the record. I'm pleased with what Timbaland has done in speeding up the process but obviously it's critical that the next song and the one after identify us as a band apart from Tim and as OneRepublic. OneRepublic's single 'Apologize' is out to buy now. The band's debut album Dreaming Out Loud is on sale on November Type keyword s to search.
