OneRepublic - Something I Need (Official Music Video) 

I think I understand this video: The dog represents fear. The guy is afraid of having a relationship with someone. So when an opportunity comes for the guy he always ends up getting afraid and running away from the opportunity (This is when the dog is attacking him). So around the end of the video the guy is in a coffin. I think this represents that the guy thinks he is done. He will never be able to be in a relationship because of his fear. Then the dog attacks while he is still in the coffin, so the fear is still gripping him. Then the woman shows up and she also has a dog. But it's on a leash and not attacking her. She has the fear, but she is able to control it. Basically, everyone has the fear, but you just have to learn to control it.

I love how he kept using "If I only die once", until the last lyrics Ryan turned it into "If I only live once". To me it feels like the person had always been negative, until the last moment he turned optimistic because he has "found something he need".

The dude : **exists** The dog : "and i took that personally"

This song is supposed to be to the love of your life but I relate this to myself. This is a song full of hope and struggle at the same time. We all have demons in ourselves, fears, and dark past, but we gotta believe that we are stronger than our fears. We must not listen from the negativity for it will eat us. We only live once, so we need to live the life we want, for nothing or no one is always there for us. We can wish for someone to be there to pick us up everytime we fall but at the end of the day it’s only ourselves who can help us to be stronger.

Here in a OneRepublic marathon again, who else?

I love how the dog's bark matches with the "Hey!" at 3:53

i play this every day.... i miss my wife... she passed away 2018 because of cancer...this is our wedding song...

The thing I love about one republic is that when you think that the song is about to end they just kind of like come back which makes it awesome

OneRepublic,Coldplay and Imagine Dragons are the best

I still have no idea why this video doesn't have as much views as it needs. It just blows my mind.

I remember when this was new enough. I was at my aunties house for new years. I loved this song but I forgot it existed till now. That was 6 years ago. Now I'm growing up. Old me would be proud. Not bad old me.

It's already 2021 but we are still listening to this legendary song.

Tbh this is a perfect wedding song

OneRepublic, The Script and Imagine Dragons, My top three favorite bands; so good!

Ryan Tedder....One of the most gifted, talented, hardest working people in the business.....

Most underrated song ever.

This is actually our wedding song! ♥️ Humorous mv but the lyrics are very powerful! Thank you One Republic!

"and if you only live once, i wanna live with you"

i have not listened to this song since 2013, yet somehow its been stuck in my head since then. about to listen to it for the first time since. pray for me.

I'm 70 years old, and this fantastic song makes me feel like I'm a young 25 again..... Come to Ireland fellas... you won't regret it.

I love One Republic! Can't wait for their next songs! 😄

I used to listen this music when I was getting ready for exams...Now, it feels crazy how the music can make you feel exactly as same as you were when you listened it for the first time

listening to this cause my crush shared one of his earphone with me then played this song while we're in a trip. total shock.

Ben absolutely owned this song! Wicked choice for him #proudofben #congratsben

Undeniably, Native is the best album ever.

One of the best from One Republic.. Period!!!

The power in his voice. He brings the music so much life.

Cant get the dam song out of my head.....................argggggggggg.

WHY AM I SO OBSESSED WITH THS SONG?!

I had a dream the other night About how we only get one life Woke me up right after two I stayed awake and stared at you So I wouldn't loose my mind And I had the week that came from hell And yes I know that you could tell But you're like the net under the ledge When I go flying off the edge You go flying off as well And if you only die once I wanna die with You got something I need In this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once, I wanna die with you (you, you, you) You got something I need In this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you) Last night I think I drank too much, yeah Call it our temporary crunch With broken words I've tried to say it Honey don't you be afraid If we got nothing, we got us, Ey yeah And if you only die once I wanna die with You got something I need In this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you) You got something I need In this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you) I know that we're not the same But I'm so damn glad that we made it to this time, this time, around, yeah You got something I need Yeah in this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once, I wanna die with you You yeah You got something I need In this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you) You got something I need In this world full of people, there's one killing me And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you) If we only die once I wanna die If we only live once I wanna live with you

The message of the song and music is really what makes me want to listen to this even more. One republic wrote this song beautifully with full emotions. This is one of the well written songs I’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing this! ❤️❤️❤️

Ryan Tedder is brilliant

Aww! This song makes me think of my husband and I! We've been married for 10 years this May coming up and I couldn't picture everything we've been through (Good or Bad) with anyone else!

Now 2020, it reminds me of 7 years ago when I was still datin' my husband and we're preparing for our wedding then this song aired, I really like this song so I always play it in the car every time we've a date, I listened it while staring him and thought "yes yes I want to live with him, thank's God i found him" OMG a lot of memories from this song, it's so meaningfull for me

Who else is in the #corona times here and listen to this old time songs

Never get bored listening to this song....

can we take a moment to appreciate how good Ryan Tedder looks in this video 😍🙌

I REMEMBER MY MAMA THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG :)

2020? Are you still alive mate xD

I saw somebody say that the Dog is a metaphor for the guy's fears. He has a chance to make something awesome with this girl but his fears catch him up every time and ruin it, in the end it ruins life for him. I think the Idea is at the end you see the Girl has her own fears as well, and they help each other find a way to deal brave them.

It's just about getting life in perspective especially during the hard times. Let life revolve around LOVE - If we only die once, I wanna die with you - if we only live once I wanna live with you no matter what even when some mad dog keeps attacking me........

To anyone that might be reading this, I wish that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. I sincerely wish everyone that happiness enters your hearts and let all the stress and sadness vanish out of your life...as you know nothing in life is ever easy, but what's important is that you keep going! you're worthy of love and happiness, never allow anyone to tell you otherwise! It can be extra hard sometimes but stay strong and hang in there, your life matters, no one can replace you, I'm thankful you're born and I'm sure your struggles will pass soon! Hang in there my friend, it's worth it trust me. I wish all of you plenty of health and strength during these tough times. remember you are strong, you got this! never forget that! sending much love over towards all of you, May god or whatever you might believe in bless you the way you need it to! ♥️🌟

love One Republic brilliant song love the lyrics their songs really hit home

I love that song! It's amazing. Ryan's voice...just magnetic!

The guy with the stache reminds me of the guy from "Her"

This is my future wedding song

Ich liebe diese Band!!! Keine Skandale, kein Bla bla bla, einfach nur die Liebe zur Musik! Und diese fantastische Stimme!!! Voller Liebe und Leidenschaft ❤️

Can't stop to listening this song..

"Everything About Her" brought me here. ❤️

2024 anyone???

This guy: *just exists* The dog: *A T T A C K*

POLSKA PRZEJMUJE KLIP !!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!

I love this song!!!

This song just came up on my mind recently, and it's been 3 days looping everywhere I go. Cheers to everyone who made it into this time.

I will never grow out of this band

Who noticed the back vocals by the dog on 3:53??? hahahahaha

I'm seriously in love with this song! Heard it somewhere and then I found it here again. OneRepublic is such a good band though.

The execution visually of this clip is so, so well done with the cinematography, cast, acting, framing & racing narrative...it's PURE GOLD!!!!

I was listening to this song on Wednesday on a Spotify Daily Mix playlist and thought “This is our song.” My boyfriends mom passed away on Thursday. It’s crazy how life can change, and I am certain we are the “something we need”

My favourite parts of this apart from the actual song and the guys , are when he's getting bitten by the dog and it comes up with #blessed and #winning . Always makes me smile !!! Keep being awesome OneRepublic

This band literally cannot make a bad song! I have idolised them since I was a child! So glad that Ryan's anxiety is getting better and they're releasing songs again!

Its 4am and this song is in my head so i need to be here again after years..

Still listening to this and still waiting for the right person to dedicate this song. ☺️ It’s already 2024 though.

I couldn't take this video seriously. It was just way too funny.

Freaking good song from a freaking good band.

If you're still rewatching this after 8 years, you're a legend.

you do not understand how long I tried to find this song with the ohhhhh bit stuck in my brain for the last 24 hours

Am I the only who think that Ryan Tedder is so anwesome?

Is this music supposed to be sad or funny? because i literally laughed the whole time.

2020 anyone? this is the best song

In a twisted world, life can't always be lived straightforwardly. There are times when we stumble, sulk, and become moody. However, through those interactions, laughter emerges, and even amidst playful banter, we eventually become sincere, honest, and upright. I believe this is what it means to fulfill life.

The dog is the man's insecurities. They always "attack" the man, when he is near a girl. However, in the end the man sees, that the girl also has a dog ("insecurities") but the dog is on a leash (she has learned to tame them). So to put it very simple, the video says, that when you are afraid to ask someone out, the person is just as afraid as you are and you should not be afraid to ask him or her out, but deal with the fear :)

Tylu Polaków, dlaczego mnie to nie dziwi :) Pozdrawiam

when ever i listened to one republic ill remember when i was playing Guild Wars 2, wow its been 7 years

Can't get this out my head !!!! Think I'm going crazzzzzzzy !!

wow, this is weird how i watched this 3 years ago, and im watching it now...

When I was 17, I had just started dating my boyfriend. We were poor (I was homeless and living in a youth shelter) and I had nothing. We both loved onerepublic and went to sit outside the concert because it was outdoors and you could see over the fence back then. Someone came up and gave us free tickets, we went in and it was pouring rain. We heard this song for the first time in each other’s arms, dancing gently in the rain. It’s been our song ever since. Makes me smile every time I hear it ❤️

this music video scarred me as a child

That last line always makes me tear up 😢

I so love this song... I mean the whole album- Natives

This was my childhood, cheers to a new decade 🥂

heard the song on the radio, fell in love with it, searched it on youtube, watched the video, saw the dog aggressively biting the guy, now i have anxiety

this i one of the best music videos ever

Ta kobieta z teledysku to Najpiekniejsza jaką widzialem :)

Ryan... you are unbelievably amazing. So is band. I bet your momma is proud. She did a great job 🌹

growing up with onerepublic since 17th until now almost 30th

The best part on 2:17 when he spots the dog and the girl frantically runs off!!! XDXDXD

wow...Ryan's eyes is so beautiful

We have to live and be the person you can. Help each other. Thank God for every morning..another chance.

I always get goosebumps every time i listen to this song, particularly during the chorus. Such a masterpiece!

2:07 :) Love this moment!

O Jezu. Ludzie ten teledysk jest fajny i nawet zabawny. Czy wszystko musi być związane z piosenką?? Piosenka i teledysk zajebisty !!!!!!

2:54! thank you very much for this great final.

" If We only live once, I wanna live with you. " - such a comforting words ❤️

This song is too good for this video.

We all can relate this music video with our life! Its just like when we are going to get an opportunity we should be ready to face the problems and obstacles. We should remember the famous saying "NO PAIN NO GAIN". So if we face the problems we get the opportunity and hence we win!!!!! 😘😘😘

I really needed this today, tomorrow, weddings, birthdays, and funerals. 🤧💖

Love this song! The beat is super & the song overall is chipper. Makes me happy - the melody & beat!

This was released on my birthday. Best birthday present ever!
