OneRepublic has released their new single “Wild Life,†which appears on the soundtrack for the Disney+ original movie Clouds.
Inspired real-life events, Clouds tells the story of Zach Sobiech, a 17-year-old musician and his best friend and songwriting partner who are on a mission to make the most of every day once Sobiech’s rare bone cancer, osteosarcoma, begins to spread.
The duo is offered a record deal with the help of their mentor and teacher Mr. Weaver after which Sobiech embarks on an unforgettable journey with the support of his best friend, parents, and the love of his life.
It’s an exploration of heartbreak and friendship, as well as a realization of the power of music.
Wild Life is written by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, a Grammy Award-winning songwriter alongside collaborators Brent Kutzle and John Nathaniel.
Lyrics for Wild Life
I’m staring at these sudden waterfalls
Tears that don’t make sense to me at all
This life's what happens when you’re making plans
Don’t know what happens next or where I stand
Wanna live this wild life, wild, every day Ooooh
Wanna say the things people never say
Ooooh I’ll take all the love and all the pain
Ahhh Wanna live this wild life, wild today
Ooooooh Ooooooh
Give me all your love and all your pain
Gonna live this wild life wild today
I’m staring at these faded signs ahead
But all these turns just fill me up with dread
But life's what happens when you’re making plans
Dive or step right in but please don’t stand Ooh
Wanna live this wild life, wild, every day Ooooh
Wanna say the things people never say
Ooooh I’ll take all the love and all the pain
Ahhh I want to live this wild life wild today
Ooooooh Ooooooh
Give me all your love and all your pain
Gonna live this wild life wild today
Gonna live this wild life wild today
