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".

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

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

Here in a OneRepublic marathon again, who else?

OneRepublic,Coldplay and Imagine Dragons are the best

Most underrated song ever.

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

Tbh this is a perfect wedding song

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

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.

2020? Are you still alive mate xD

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

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

2024 anyone???

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ryan Tedder is brilliant

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

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

WHY AM I SO OBSESSED WITH THS SONG?!

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........

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.

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

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

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.

This is my future wedding song

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

"Everything About Her" brought me here. ❤️

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 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.

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

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

I REMEMBER MY MAMA THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG :)

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

Undeniably, Native is the best album ever.

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

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! ❤️❤️❤️

Tylu Polaków, dlaczego mnie to nie dziwi :) Pozdrawiam

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!

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

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

Can't stop to listening this song..

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.

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.

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

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

I love this song!!!

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

this music video scarred me as a child

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

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

John 8:12 ''Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

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.

My cousin is the Band Manager of OneRepublic. So I get free tickets to their concert when the come to Virginia Beach! :D

A music video without any scumbags advertising their music in the comment section. This is unreal.

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

OneRepublic - Something I Need****Wohhh! Scary but yuh if you only live once let your last moments be with the one you love!

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

2020 anyone? this is the best song

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 :)

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

Poland Love OneRepublic ;-)

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

Such a CUTE DOG!

2021 here! Who's still listening to this legendary song 🙏😍

Nostalgia brought me there...

2:07 :) Love this moment!

This song is too good for this video.

this was frekin beautiful.

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”

wow its a amaZing song

Ta kobieta z teledysku to Najpiekniejsza jaką widzialem :)

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

Happy 10th Anniversary to this song!!!!🎉🎉 August 25, 2013 - August 25, 2023

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.

Never get bored listening to this 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 ❤️

cold play: Let me fix you imagine dragons: Whatever it takes OneRepublic: Don't need EVERYBODY LOVES ME!!

"Something I Need" I had a dream the other night About how we only get one life Woke me up right after two Stayed awake and stared at you So I wouldn't lose 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, (hey) 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, (hey) I wanna die with you (you, you) Last night I think I drank too much, yeah Call it our temporary crutch, hey With broken words I've tried to say Honey don't you be afraid If we got nothing we got us (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, (hey) 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, (hey) 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, now (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 (heeyy) You got something I need In this world full of people there's one killing me And if we only die once, (hey) 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, (hey) I wanna die with you (you, you, you) If we only die once (hey) I wanna die with If we only live once I wanna live with you

Man dies thinks hes safe from the dog comes back to life *GODAMIT*

I remember listening to this song when it first came out, I was 7, listening to it almost 8 years later, its still legendary

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

hey! you! yes you random person who is scrolling coments! You're beautiful. Remeber always smile and laugh all the time. Please remember I Love you ♡ oh and always always! Listen to one republic, you deserve ♡

So, the dog represents his demons i.e. not being confident enough to talk to the girl, then worrying about his financial status and it's impact on how the girl will see him, then the lack of people at his funeral represents how many people he thinks are there for him. Then the girl also has demons, but she's learned to control and deal with hers. So they can work together and help defeat/tame each others demons

But truthfully the dog brought him back to life too - so gotta give credit where it's due.

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

who's here for EVERYTHING ABOUT HER theme song in the Phil's.

i finally get the video 😂 guys the dog isnt real he represents something like fear or something 😂

Recommendation songs never fail to give me comfort

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

Mayday, Mayday! Slavic people are trying to take control over this music clip!

Im related to this guy :3

Das Video ist der Wahnsinn!!! 😜😄😀👍👍👍
