OneRepublic - If I Lose Myself (Acoustic)

I remember loving OneRepublic’s first album when I was in high school.  As mentioned in a few previous posts, if there are strings involved, I’m in.  They released Native fairly recently and I decided to check it out.  While I wasn’t the biggest fan of their second album, Waking Up, I couldn’t stop listening to Native.  

The original version of If I Lose Myself has a healthy dose of extra synth in the background, which is something that I like.  BUT I happen to like strings a lot more, so I picked the acoustic version.  It has such great forward motion and I seriously can’t stop listening to it.

OneRepublic is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and they formed in 2002.  

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do and have a great Saturday, everyone!
