Secrets is the second single released from OneRepublic's second album. Even though "Secrets" was released in June 2010, this is still a nice song that not many take notice in. I decided to review this song and relating it to the recent WikiLeaks news. These two lines, "Til' all my sleeves are stained red/From all the truth that I've said" are prime examples for consequences of the recent releases of diplomatic cables on WikiLeaks. I visualize the red sleeves as a sign of blood and the act of terrorism. Also, the honesty and sincerity of our modern society is questioned through his song. On the other hand, others portray it as a man with a boring life who is starting a new "life". It is rare in our modern-day music to find a song that encourages the audience to find their own inner meaning. The narrator of the song no longer pay attention to the "perfect" set of guidelines and decide to reveal the secrets inside of him.
The song starts out with a moderate conversation and turns in a full vocal composition with a powerful chorus. Ryan Tedder, the writer and lead of the band, did a good job encouraging the public about following their ambitions. This songs can be simultaneously funky, symphonic, inspirational, and meaningful.
Hey Henli if that is how your name is spelled, Happy Christmas!!. After listening to this song, I find your opinion "This songs can be simultaneously funky, symphonic, inspirational, and meaningful" to be very true. In today's society, we don't get to hear songs like these very often so this is a great recommendation. Also your music review seems very detail but it could have been better if you include an MV or audio file of the song.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a nice song. I sometimes hear this song on the radio but i never knew the name of the song until now.
