Connection Lyrics

Cover art for Connection lyrics by OneRepublic

As per usual, OneRepublic has found a way to give us a soulful message while still giving us a fun song to fist pump to. In the song as well as in the video, the singer is distressed that he can't find people who are looking for a real and genuine connection. While singing about being surrounded by people and still feeling lonely, we see a man wandering around in a busy train station in black and white, looking for something extraordinary, only finding the ordinary...while there is an amazing dancer dancing through the station, being ignored in all of her unique beauty. While the entire music video takes place in the train station, the scene alternates between the busy train station during the day and a OneRepublic concert full of colors. Even with all of those people around, the singer still feels alone. At the end of the video, the train station returns to full color, and we see that everyone is still dressed in black and white, lacking personality. Except for our amazing dancer, in her bright yellow dress.
