OneRepublic – Counting Stars

Hmmmm…

I’m not really sure how to start this one, there’s not really anything special about this song to me, it just exists, and I like it. It’s from around 2013 I’m pretty sure, when songs used to be actually good instead of just ear-rape rap music with auto tune so bad, a deaf person could have calibrated it better.

Do you ever notice that? Things just aren’t as good as they used to be. I don’t know if its because I’m becoming older and not finding the things I used to enjoy fun anymore, or if the quality and effort put into things nowadays is just less and worse. I see it in everything time and time again: TV, Film, Games, Music, It’s all gone down hill after around 2017 for me at least.

What was I talking about again? A song or something? It makes me feel like I just want to dance. It’s one of those songs (for me at least) that i just feel obligated to dance about a bit, maybe a little hand movements or foot taps every so often, can’t be having my back give out before I turn 20. Sometimes it feels like one of those songs that just never ends though, and I start paying attention and im like “How has this not ended yet?”. Probably not a good thing.

I used to listen to this “back in the day”, but rediscovered it a year or so ago completely by accident. I’ve said previously that I listen to music through YouTube, and you know when you get sucked into a rabbit hole? That happened to me and led me to this song once again.

Lucky me.

The lyrics are pretty relatable, talking about “Losing sleep”. I’m a professional sleep loser, I’ve been losing sleep for 5 years straight. I’m doing it right now writing this thing, Burning my Retina starring at this bright white text document. I think I know a little more about losing sleep than you do pal, because I invented it.

Has this joke been run into the ground yet?
Yes.
Yes it has.
If you want my opinion on this song overall, I’d say: listen to it at least once before you die, other than that it’ pretty forgettable to be honest.
