OneRepublic是来自于美国科罗拉多州的一支流行摇滚乐队。成员包括Ryan Tedder、Zach Filkins、Eddie Fisher、Brent Kutzle、Drew Brown。
2002年，Ryan Tedder与Zach Filkins等人组成乐队。2007年，发布首张专辑《Dreaming Out Loud》，主打单曲《Apologize》打破各国流行榜纪录，专辑销量也突破了白金 。2009年，发布第二张专辑《Waking Up》 。2013年，发布第三张专辑《Native》 ，专辑中的单曲《Counting Stars》在英国流行音乐单曲榜登顶 。
《Counting Stars》是美国流行摇滚乐队共和时代演唱的一首歌曲，词曲由瑞恩·泰德个人谱写 。歌曲收录在其第三张录音室专辑《Native》，为该专辑的第三支单曲 。
歌曲在英国与加拿大的单曲排行榜上取得了冠军的成绩 。而在美国，歌曲在公告牌单曲排行榜上的最高排名为第二位，与其2007年发行单曲《Apologize》的位置持平 。
歌曲是瑞恩·泰德一次新鲜大胆的尝试。在木吉他的伴奏下，他以慵懒缠绵的嗓音唱着“最近我总是辗转反侧，难以入眠”，如同失眠者呓语。突然音乐节奏转快，鼓和贝司欢快加入，歌词也配合节奏快速流动，“生活就像一株跃动的藤蔓，长驱直入激活我的内心，在我脸上划过痕迹”。无论旋律、节奏还是歌词，这都是一首朗朗上口、明快轻松的歌，配合歌词里的“我坚信这个世界美好如初”，扫除了年轻人的迷茫不安，注入昂扬能量
歌曲歌词
英文
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars
I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Everything that kills me makes feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be, counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
译文
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
祈祷我不再看重名利与金钱
我们将一起数着满天繁星，没错，我们将一起数着满天繁星
我看到如今的生活
像一丛张牙舞爪的爬藤
心潮不断使我内心汹涌
眼前闪过太多片段
仔细寻找，你会发现
年长，但我并不迂腐
年轻，我也不鲁莽
我始终相信这个世界美好如初
我只是按部就班，循规蹈矩地活着
我感觉到某些东西如此的正确
却做着背道而驰的事
我感觉到某些东西如此的错误
却做着按部就班的事
我可以说谎，重复谎言，欺骗自己
死亡让我感受到存在的意义
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
祈祷我不再看重名利与金钱
我们将一起数着满天繁星
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
祈祷我不再看重名利与金钱
我们将，我们将一起数着满天繁星
我感觉到爱
它在我的胸膛沸腾燃烧
注入身体的每一根血管，每一次脉搏
所谓的希望只是四个字母的单词
赚取那些金钱
看着它们被挥霍而尽
年长，但我并不迂腐
年轻，我也不鲁莽
我始终相信这个世界美好如初
我只是按部就班，循规蹈矩地活着
我感觉到某些东西如此的错误
却做着按部就班的事
我可以说谎，重复谎言，欺骗自己
任何能将我淹没的东西让我更渴望飞翔
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
祈祷我不再看重名利与金钱
我们将一起数着满天繁星
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
祈祷我不再看重名利与金钱
我们将，我们将一起数着满天繁星
赚取那些金钱
看着它们被挥霍而尽
伤痕渗入血液，永久存在
生活给我上了一课
赚取那些金钱
看着它们被挥霍而尽
伤痕渗入血液，永久存在
生活给我上了一课
赚取那些金钱
看着它们被挥霍而尽
伤痕渗入血液，永久存在
生活给我上了一课
赚取那些金钱
看着它们被挥霍而尽
伤痕渗入血液，永久存在
生活给我上了一课
一切能够摧毁我的事物，会让我置死地而后生
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
祈祷我不再看重名利与金钱
我们将一起数着满天繁星
最近，我辗转难眠
梦想着那些我们曾经能完成的事情
宝贝，我早已在内心深深地祈祷
