About Marchin On

"Marchin On" is a song by American rock band OneRepublic, and is written and produced by frontman Ryan Tedder for the group's second studio album Waking Up (2009). Producer and rapper Timbaland included a remixed version of the song for his third studio album Shock Value II (2009). As the title of the song is "Marchin On" it has a marching beat with a bass drum which is a good foundation for an electronic remix. The track was released as the album's third single in German-speaking Europe in June 2010, where it served as German TV channel ZDF's promotional FIFA 2010 World Cup song and it was also used by HBO to promote their 2012 programming line up. The song was used in the episode 20 ("Blood Brothers") of season one of The CW series The Vampire Diaries. Originally, the song "Good Life" was supposed to serve as the third single, but due to "Marchin On" being selected for FIFA, "Good Life" had to be pushed back to being the fourth single.

For those days we felt like a mistake
Those times when loves what you hate
Somehow,
We keep marching on

For those nights that I couldn't be there,
I've made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We'll keep movin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

So many hills we had to climb
Almost without our strength
But we kept,
Slowly marchin' on

Time heals the wounds we couldn't close
Blood, sweat and tears dried up
We're okay
We kept marchin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

Get your legs and walk
'Cause we're not too far
A little more to go
But we're marchin' on
We marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We marchin'

If we lose the sun, we couldn't deny that
If we go the wind, we gotta fight back
But we marchin' on
We marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin'

The bridges are gone
And we're almost home
The end is close

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
