Here's a question for you smart folks... This track
has been bugging me since I first heard it in 2014. Is
the version of "I Lived" by OneRepublic that was
serviced to radio different than the album version? I
have been looking for the version heard in the promo
video since its release in 2014.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rxydSolwU
(Note that the version featured in the video is
extended due to various spoken segments overlapping
instrumental sections between the verses).
If one listens from 4:19 onward in the promo video,
the song features an entirely different vocal take
(including a new falsetto performance) and additional
ad libs from Ryan Tedder. Compare this same section at
3:04 onward in the album version. On discogs, I see a
couple international CD-R promos listed with a "Radio
Edit". I am quite sure that I heard this alternate
vocal take version on the radio back then, but I may
be confusing it with the version in the video.
Does anyone know where I might get this version? And
is it an official radio edit that was perhaps serviced
digitally? I have never been able to find this video
version on digital download sites, only the album
version and various remixes. I bought "Now 54" back
then, hoping to get this version, but it was the album
version yet again. Thank you.

Jason, my copy from TM PrimeCuts is labeled as a radio
edit so you may be on to something about an alternate
version.

The version on the November 2014 Promo Only Mainstream Radio disc is the LP Version. A line that is clearly sung differently between the LP Version and the Youtube version is "With every broken bone" at about 3:37 in the LP Version (about 4:43 in the YouTube video.)
