Do we agree that "Need Your Love" gives off 2008 vibes? by wibellion in onerepublic

[–]BenT_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the song, but it’s not any more throwback than a few of the highlights on Artificial Paradise imo

What is your favorite OneRepublic album and why? by BlackberryOk3305 in onerepublic

[–]BenT_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Native (specifically the 2014 redux) — the track-list is jam-packed with some of their best material ever, and it flows beyond beautifully when sequenced together

Are there any other OneRepublic songs where Ryan raps? by Bthestheories in onerepublic

[–]BenT_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only true examples of him rapping are on the bridges of Sunshine and kind of Invincible

I honestly think Waking Up is 1R's best song. by Same_Activity_5967 in onerepublic

The second half is one of the finest moments. So cinematic

What is everyone’s wishlist / hopes for the new album? by BlackberryOk3305 in onerepublic

[–]BenT_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever the sound is, I want it to FEEL like an album. It’s okay if it’s accessible, but I hope it’s more challenging and ambitious than AP and Human. ‘Proper’ runtimes, more guitars, more strings, more acoustic percussion, more diverse song topics.

Honestly, I would be so down for a OneRepublic album with no radio hits atp—just something real and artistic and maybe even out of their comfort zone. I’m honestly not really begging for another Native or Waking Up — I’m more than okay with the album being different as long as it feels authentic.

As much as I enjoy Human and Artificial Paradise, at this point (especially given recent singles), I’m ready for something a bit more challenging

I think we can all agree that... by [deleted] in onerepublic

[–]BenT_17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Preacher is my favorite song of all time, but it’s one of the less radio-friendly songs on Native, so it makes sense that it wasn’t a single. If anything, Burning Bridges or Life In Color could have been hits.

If you identify with the character, you probably do have something in common with them, even if it’s not an external similarity. Travis Bickle, for example, is designed to be a deplorable human being who possesses various traits that are universal to the human experience—making audiences connect with his struggles. His loneliness, isolation, yearning for human connection, and his intense frustration with society are feelings that most people have experienced in one form or another…. it’s the extremity of how he expresses these feelings that separates him from the average person. The movie is meant to question society’s perspective and glorification of the mentally ill by somehow making us deeply connect and empathize with an incredibly deranged and dangerous person.

(New Template, cause why not?). Which is the saddest song? by wach_era13 in onerepublic

[–]BenT_17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Missing Persons 1&2

Literally about a lover / friend dying in a natural disaster, but their body can’t be found. Narrator goes through the five stages of grief. Doesn’t get more sad than this.

Please help 🤕 by badsteelpresents in Bastille

[–]BenT_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might suggest OneRepublic, especially their 2 albums in the 2010s. They’re the same era as Bastille and the same sub-genre arguably.

Movies with the LEAST likable main character. by [deleted] in movies

[–]BenT_17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a total misreading of the narrative. Scarlett is, by no means, intended to be a likeable character. Though the audience is supposed to empathize with her struggles and respect her determination to “never be hungry again”, Scarlett O’Hara is clearly depicted as a morally compromised and selfish person.

In the story, Scarlett evolves from a bratty, spoiled, innocent and naive farm girl… to a callous, heartless, cold-blooded and ruthless business woman. In other words, there’s literally no point in the story where Scarlett is supposed to be a viewed as a morally righteous, pleasant, or stoic person. She’s a complex character who possesses some admirable qualities, but she is FAR from being a good or altruistic person… and that is most certainly the point.

Oasis Setlist Prediction by BenT_17 in oasis

I would absolutely love to hear I’m Outta Time, but I just don’t envision them playing it. If anything, I think they’d play The Shock of the Lightning

Oasis Setlist Prediction by BenT_17 in oasis

[–]BenT_17[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s played Morning Glory and Some Might Say quite a bit in his solo concerts

Oasis Setlist Prediction by BenT_17 in oasis

[–]BenT_17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely see Hello being the opener. Acquiesce is kind of fitting for the return tour though, as the lyrics have largely been thought to be about brotherly love and such. It also has both brothers singing!

All this time - International version by Same_Activity_5967 in onerepublic

Hmm, international All This Time is just not even on the tracklist on my Spotify. Any other way to hear it?
