starts with cello/strings

Hey, it's another Kohl's employee trying to identify a song!

I don't really remember any lyrics, but the opening is really identifiable: it starts with a cello/strings part, playing a rather famous piece, and then goes to a male vocalist with different instruments.

I never hear it when I'm off work, so I can't use Shazam. Any ideas? I'd be eternally grateful!

"Secrets" by OneRepublic?

Or possibly "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay.

That's it! Thanks Patricia. Can't believe I didn't recognize the voice. I love OneRepublic's song "All I Need."
