I Like Music Because heading
  • Sylvia PowellSylvia Powell: ilikemusic because... It can make me happy yet it can make me feel sad. It helps me remember, but it can also make me forget. Most of all I like music because it makes me feel alive.

  • Ellen, Los CampesinosEllen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
  • Sian EvansSian Evans: ilikemusic because... when everyone you cared about lets you down (e.g. friends, boyfriend, parents) all at the same time music will always be there to pick you up and help you move on. ;-)

OneRepublic chat to I Like Music


ILM: What did you learn from Timbaland about making music?

RYAN: Oh yeah, plenty. Musically my instincts have been sharpened. When I sit down to do a song for somebody else now, where I go musically has definitely been influenced by Timbaland. I'm not going to go to the obvious place anymore. I'm going to go to the most musical place possible. Whether it's with an instrument or with my mouth, it's like Tim has helped me to develop my instincts to a higher level as a producer and a writer. I'm a lot more innovative since having been with him. I've always been strong melodically, but when it comes to making the music, the actual track, the beat and the rhythm and all that, I'm a lot more innovative having been exposed to Timbaland

ILM: It's like you've had your antennae for what works polished?

RYAN: Exactly, you got it.

ILM: You write emotion-driven lyrics and songs. Please can you describe the OneRepublic music making process? Does it tend to be lyrics or melodies first?
