"Secrets" is the second single released from OneRepublic's second studio album ''Waking Up''. It was released as the first single in Germany and Austria owing to its presence on the soundtrack of Til Schweiger's film ''Zweiohrküken''. The movie is the sequel to the film ''Keinohrhasen'', for which "Apologize" was the film soundtrack. The song rocketed up the German and Austrian airplay charts. The song was released in the United States iTunes Store on November 3, 2009.〔http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=337296430&s=143441〕 The song was due for a UK release on April 5, 2010 but was later canceled. It was sent to U.S. Top 40/Mainstream radio on June 1, 2010. The song was prominently used and featured in the soundtrack of the 2010 film ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'', and was also used to launch the "Big Pony" fragrance line for Ralph Lauren. An instrumental version of "Secrets" also featured prominently in the FaceTime portion of Apple's iPhone 4 video introduction in 2010. In the same year, it was used in many promotional trailers for ABC Family's new series ''Pretty Little Liars''. In 2011, the song was featured as runway soundtrack at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The song has been heavily utilized in network promotional advertising for various series and several other film trailers in the United States. The song was featured at the end of episode 6 ("Reality Kills") of season 9 of the CBS series ''CSI: Miami''. Since December 2013, an acoustic version of the song performed by the Piano Guys has been used in the 'Simon the Ogre' adverts for the Thomson Travel Agents.〔http://www.tuitravelplc.com/content/%E2%80%98simon-ogre%E2%80%99-thomson-tv-advert-2013#.U9JvjGRdXPY〕 In 2014, Katherine Jenkins released the album ''Home Sweet Home'', which included the song in Italian as "Segreti". ==Critical reception== John Hill from About.com rated it with 4.5 stars (out of 5), praising Tedder for bringing nuance to the lyrics. Hill writes "The song starts out more like a conversation, but turns into a powerful plea by the time the chorus comes around." Hill speculates as to the meaning of this plea but thinks it best that listeners find their own meaning.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author = John Hill )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secrets (OneRepublic song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
