Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Stevie Russell,[http://www.stevierussell.com/ Stevie Russel official website] was released in two separate parts.
Oliver, who has a deformed face, works for a company and is attracted to Mandy, one of his co-workers; however, she is cautious about developing any relationship with him because of his deformity. In the Part 1 video, three co-workers bully Oliver, and they later harass Mandy, but Oliver stands up for her, fighting them off. Mandy warms up to him because he defended her against the bullying co-workers. In the Part 2 video, Oliver forgets to wear his tie while going to work. While getting his tie, his dog, Digby, slips through the open door and gets lost. Digby wanders the streets and passes by a street band (Kodaline) performing. Oliver discovers Digby's disappearance when he returns home, and he immediately goes to search for Digby, prints posters at work, and Mandy lends him her bike to help him distribute them throughout the community. He eventually finds Digby on a farm outside his community.
The director of the two videos, Stevie Russell, plays the main character, Oliver, with his love interest, Mandy, played by Irish actress Amy De Bhrún. James Cosgrave, Tristan McConnell, and Ciaran O'Grady play the bullies.[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7401730/fullcredits/cast IMDb: Kodaline: All I Want (2012 Video) – Full Cast & Crew]
