Stranger Things Lyrics

[Intro: Ryan Tedder]
The stranger things
A life, a life of stranger things (Very far)
The stranger things (Dreams of places I've)
'Cause that's just who we are

[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder]
We used to run around this ghost town
Always thinking out loud
How we gonna get out?
I remember
We dream of places that we could go
Castles with the strange glow
People that we don't know
I remember

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
We left a life
That's ordinary from the start
We look for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Like I'm picturing now

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I'm just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in a foreign state
Tell me someday we'll get there
Someday
Someday
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
I see your Technicolor shadow
Underneath your window

Just in case you don't know
I can see it
You cast an unfamiliar day glow
Different than what I know
Shining like a halo
I can feel it

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
We turned our back on ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Show me the sky falling down

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I'm just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in an ancient place
Tell me someday we'll get there
Someday
Someday
Oh oh
Oh oh
[Bridge: Ryan Tedder]
The stranger things
A life, a life of stranger things (Very far)
The stranger things (Dreams of places I've)
'Cause that's just who we are
A stranger things (very far)
The stranger things
A life, a life of stranger things (Very far)
For stranger things (Dreams of places I've)
'Cause that's just who we are
The stranger things
A life, a life of stranger things (Very far)
For stranger things (Dreams of places I've)
'Cause that's just who we are
The stranger things
A life, a life of stranger things (Very far)
For stranger things (Dreams of places I've)
'Cause that's just who we are

[Outro: Ryan Tedder]
The stranger things
A life, a life of stranger things (Very far)
For stranger things (Dreams of places I've)
'Cause that's just who we are

Norwegian DJ Kygo and American pop-rock group OneRepublic fuse their unique styles for “Stranger Things” off Kygo’s second studio album Kids in Love.

OneRepublic vocalist Ryan Tedder features heavily on the song, including in the vocal-chops which form the song’s drop. Tedder sings about a couple that decides to leave their boring lives behind to find adventure in the world beyond their hometown.

The song may have taken influence from the Netflix Original show with which it shares a name.

It should probably be worth noting that the name of the album this track is featured on is “Kids in Love” and two of the main characters in Netflix’s Stranger Things, Mike and Eleven, are currently in a relationship, which was confirmed in Season 2.

Another popular Norwegian DJ Alan Walker, most known for his song “Faded” produced a popular remix of this song, which contributed to the songs extreme popularity.
