  • @andrew5670 SO TRUE.

  • @andrew5670 yeah its amazing

  • OneRepublic rocks my socks!!!!!!! Lol, i luv them so much T_T

  • @GequalsZ I was brought here by it, but why should I? :)

  • @GequalsZ Its actully Wolfkodi's "Runaway Pony MLP:FIS" game

  • Everyone realizes it's BAD to "run away like a prodigal," right?

  • I'll take everything from you.

    But you'll take anything, won't you...

  • One of my favorite songs by OneRepublic...

  • We say good-bye

    I turn my back

    Run away, run away

    So predictable

  • its amazing how some songs juss speak to yuh in a way ppl cant :)

  • I absolutely love this band. Their music helped me through tough times and often it brought tears in my eyes.

  • Hm...

    This makes me want to spin in slow-mo in a field of flowers, the breeze pushing at me, feeling blissful...

  • to full your music with your heart is the way to write music......you know

  • stop asking for thumbs up...it doesnt make u famous or anything its just lame '~'

  • 14 fatasses and 442,912 views -sneezes- MORE THUMBS UP PLEASE

  • Hey i just realized that a lot of onerepublics songs are played on in the hills. lol i guess one of the editors really likes OneRepublic

  • for all of you who don't know, this is also another religious song. Its about the prodigal son who gets money from his dad and runs away and wastes it all and comes back to his father ashamed since he needs, him, and the father accepts him. Hence the lyrics: "run away, run away like a prodigal", "so ashamed, so ashamed, but i need you so, and you wait for me"

  • one republic, your special!

    but, i love it that way cause everything is too normal

  • The way he says "Don't you wait for me"... makes me want to wait for him.

  • @AnnHailey1 "Rashly or wastefully extravagant" in the words of dictionary . com. :]

  • @DanceCixiDance tnx lol

    

  • OneRepublic IS the best band ever. I like about 450 different bands (no joke) and this is the one that I love most. Their songs have amazing meanings, they stay themselves even when the media tries to change them, they reach out to those who need help through their songs. OneRepublic will always be loved. They're awesome. I hope they NEVER stop making music :)

    There you go! I mean what I say. (Btw, there are stil more, and these were all JUST bands, I didn't name any singers or solo artists...but I've got plenty of those, too)

  • @wtfATLftw Sorry! I realized you said 450, not 400. I also repeated 3 bands by accident...so I have 53 to go. I'll do them later, I'm busy now.

  • @Rena549 wow thank you so much!! 400 bands to look into? That is just awesome, so thank you so much for making that list. I have already started searching some of them and have found some really like. My ipod only has about 500 songs so I have been wanting to find more bands to like and I absolutely love onerepublic. Such a great find, this list you made.

  • This is song which says about me. I love it, song is beatiful, always when I listen it I cry.

  • This song is so beautiful... When I listen it, I cry... always.

  • I like this song soo much!!! One Republic is a band who can only make good songs I think.. love their songs!!!

  • hate this new thumbs up system...everybody strives for that instead of just simply commenting...

  • Awesome song..u also might wanna try : . Watermind - "Other Side"

    or "From the start"

  • it was said...2007 years later that a pop-rock band named one republic would write a song about this story... but Jesus did not call this brilliant, he simply called it......"super awesome taco sauce spaghetti chicken"

  • There is not one silngle song that i'll pass forward.in fact i replay them all over and over again. i just cant get tired of listenning to them!!!!

  • Brilliant. Love this song so much.

  • 14 ppl need to jump off a cliff .....

  • ..........I cant find anything to say to describe this it is undescribable.

  • 666 'like'... Devil likes this song XD

  • One Tip to One Republic.. Dont become the mainstream. With fucked up songs. Coldplay their albumbs got none ugly songs. You should be the same. So far. All songs sound great. i'm surely going to buy your CD>

  • @MichaelSLify You know what? You're actually right on that. This band and Coldplay still remain pure because they aren't sold out to the public. They don't just make music just to fill CD's like mainstream producers. Hopefully they don't turn up though.

  • I'm not sure if I understand this song quite well, can someone explain it to me please? :)

  • @ILoveShishKebab It's referencing the Biblical story of the prodigal son

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song, it's just the best..!

  • what i ment to say was its not a sad song its a awsome song

  • this is`t a sad at all this is the awsome song ever it reminds me of flying in the clouds and the sky i`m am the number 1 fan of one repubilc and you guys who love this song is awsome this song is number 1

  • I Love... <3

  • i dislike how good this song is.... =p

  • i felt like his last year in 7th grade when i didn't have even one friend and i wished i cud just run out of my school screaming

  • This song reminds me of my brother.. I mean, he's getting all independent in college with his new friends and job and kinda forgeting about me.. As if I was a stupid child who's nobody. And he's just one year older ¬¬

    I dont know.. I can count on him forever but sometimes it feels like I'm one of his least favourite things but when we were kids we were each others world!

    Never said it to anyone.. weird haha

  • @fernandaayala on youtube you're amongst friends to speak your mind! everyone posts confessions on youtube :] i dont it all the time. and it feels damn good to let it out even to people you dont know

  • @fernandaayala well you spoke what i felt :) haha

  • Oh my god.  I think I'm addicted. I can't stop listening!

  • absolutley love this song. no matter what mood i'm in.

  • This is the saddest song.. 1st heard it on 'The Hills' x TUNE x

  • this song makes me imagin me running out of school throwing my books in the air and just feeling free no troubles or worries just running and feeling happy :)

    so free

  • @chanal05 but in the end you come back cause you realize you need school to survive life.

  • @chanal05 lovely comment, glad u shared it ;)

  • @chanal05 ima poop on you

  • best band ever <3

  • theyre like a combination of Coldplay and U2 :)

  • @bluejidk cept better! ;)

  • @JoStra15 haha yea :)

  • What can I say.... just OMG.

    All memories back ... Amazing!

  • The only album where i actually love every song, i haven't listened to their second album yet too!

  • Fav SOng!!!

  • OneRepublic <3

  • I love this song, to death.

  • mmmmh a nice one, with good lyrics, tune and voice volume

  • EInfach ein richtig schönes Lied ! Vor allem sagt dieser Song was aus und ich bekomme immer Gänsehaut beim hören. Besonders jetzt in der Situation, wo ich mich von einem sehr sehr wichtigem Menschem für mich, verabschieden musste.. :(

  • Music with meaning is such a rarity these days...but OneRepublic is one of those diamonds in the ruff.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss so true . . . so true . . .

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss a diamond in the ruff is something that is good, and has the potential to be amazing with just a bit of effort. thats not onerepublic. i cant think of a better analogy now though, sry.

  • @bookluvr613 I meant it more like they are a hidden treasure, something great among things that are not but maybe a needle in a haystack analogy works better?

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss ya i figured thats wat u ment.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss I think they're not lost to the world, just not fully appreciated, they have so much more depth, and the amount of times i've heard someone say "that 'apologize' song by timbaland is great" -.-'

  • @MrPintGlass Oh it drives me crazy when people say Apologize is by Timbaland! In my opinion Timbaland RUINED that song. All he did was add a beat or two and say "eh eh eh" in the background and suddenly the song is Timbaland ft OneRepublic? I think not. It should be One Republic ft Timbaland. I pretty much only listen to the original version of Apologize off of OneRepublic's album. I feel like the original has more depth and I love the instruments used.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss Ohmygod. Marry me? SO good to know I'm not the only one with that opinion!! :) I'm an actual OneRepublic fan not like the others who say "oh i love them!" but all they know is "Secrets" and "Apologize" and "Good Life".

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss Timbaland wrote it, OneRepublic performed it. 

  • @TheSequeltolife Sorry, but I think you're wrong. Timbaland just remixed it. The song was originally OneRepublic's and then the version we know from the radio was remixed by Timbaland. This song has always been OneRepublic's which is why people get upset when others say it is Timbaland ft OneRepublic. It really ought to be the other way around. I'm almost positive the original song was written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic.

  • @TheSequeltolife can't believe someone could say this...let's clear things up, most of OneRepublic's songs are written by the lead vocalist, Ryan Tedder. Timbaland did nothing to the original version of Apologize in terms of lyrics, ok?

  • @nhanngx

    Yes, I figured that out the other day. No need to let me know. I heard it from someone else (that it was written by Timbaland) and I was sadly mistaken. Trust me I have now heard the original version, but I'm not sure which one I like better.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss Whine more. Everyone knows Timbaland can't sing for shit. Of course it's their song. No need to rant on a completely unrelated song/video.

  • @bigtymerxg4 I'm not whining. That comment was in response a few other users who brought up Timabaland and Apologize in response to my first comment. It's one comment out of a fairly long conversation.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss I see that now. And now I feel like an idiot. Timbaland did ruin the song too, but meh, they have better songs anyway.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss I disagree. I am grateful to Timbaland for getting this great band more widely publicized. One Republic's original was fantastic I will grant you but the Timbaland remix was good and it served its purpose. People like me got a great new band to love.

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss Yes but if it weren't for Timbaland, OneRepublic wouldn't be NEARLY as famous as they are now.

  • @xxxPurplexGirlxxx really? wow -_-

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss im with u its their song they wrote it and how does he get the fucking credit like the original is better anyway without that dick going all asthmatic breathing during the song

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss Yeah, you're right but Timbaland was the composer.... Τhat's why it's Timbaland ft. One republic! It's like Guetta's songs... (David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland etc..)

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss I completely AGREE!!

  • @WorldWideMusicMiss that's beautiful

  • I am so going to buy their album! All of their songs are just breathtakingly awesome!

    :D

  • i dont think that they have 1 average song, they are all amazing and leave me speechless, honestly

  • EVERYTHING IS TRUE IN THIS SONG! Iv3 ONE REPUBLIC!

  • I love Ryan's voice.

  • Pure Genius.

  • i love this song!!! One Republic are AWESOME!!!!

  • what's a prodigal?

  • @kawaiifull a person who spends extravagantly. The song I think is a reference to the biblical parable. Look up the Prodigal Son on google, and wikipedia pretty much sums it up.

  • @kawaiifull one who is very impulsive and for exampel uses all his/her money in a rush

  • really nice song i hear it very often ;)

  • Amazing!

  • Kittylover2418 I agree they are both amazing

  • awesome i love all their songs every time i hear it i cry!

  • amazing song.

  • very amazing @

  • Words can't describe how beautiful this song is.

  • i love this song!!!!

  • Best song ever ..

    oh my god.. <3

  • Wow! Stunning!!

  • i love you!ryan tedder!

  • Wow, I love this song so much!

    Like all of OneRepublic's songs, it NEVER gets old...and still gives me chills :)

  • every song of them turns into a masterpiece!

    They're a gift from heaven! (:

  • yess agree 100% when I first heard 'apologize' I loved it, bought their album and I liked EVERY SINGLE song!! :):)

  • OneRepublic!! I LOVE YOU!!!

  • God I thought the Fray was the only band that could just be pure awesome with the emotion in their songs but I LOVE ONE REPUBLIC too now

  • i totally agree! i love the fray and onerepublic they're so amazing!

  • i like almost everyhting from them...feels to me like they put their hearts in every song...
