OneRepublic Premiered New Version Of 'Secrets'

American pop rock band, OneRepublic have finally unveiled the third version of music video directed by Chris Sims for the second single "Secrets" from band's latest second studio album, "Waking Up." It follows a girl who is waiting for her love interest in a restaurant. A live performance scene, featured on the previously-premiered clip, is also included in it. That means the random movie scenes have been replaced by slightly less random scenes that actually involve some of the band members, but the rest of the video is the same.
The music video's first appearance on German TV was on October 16, 2009. It shows the band playing their instruments and Lead singer Ryan Tedder singing. Furthermore, it features scenes from the film "Zweiohrküken." There is also a second version of the video, which was actually a promo for the premiere of the sixth season of TV series "Lost." This version has takes from the original video, with the band playing on a studio, mixed with scenes from the series. "We used strings and some organic hip hop drums. Probably the most fun to play in our set as well," bassist Brent Kutzle commented on the song.
The string-heavy ballad song rocketed up the German and Austrian airplay charts and as of October 27 has hit No.1 on the iTunes chart in Germany. The song was released in the US iTunes Store on November 3, 2009. The song has had moderate success, staying at the top of the iTunes Rock chart for the week following its release. The song was also included in a promotional video for the upcoming third season of "In Plain Sight" of USA Network. The song was recently featured in the end of the 14th episode from the third season of "Gossip Girl" titled "The Lady Vanished."

After a few years of moderate success, the band have since drawn mainstream attention with the release of their single "Apologize," which has sold in excess of 7 million singles worldwide. The song, according to SoundScan Data, is one of only two songs that have reached 3 million legal downloads in history. The band will be performing on the Today Show's Summer Concert Series next week on May 28, the day before they open for Bon Jovi at New Meadowlands Stadium.
