Need

A need is something that is necessary for an organism to live a healthy life. Needs are distinguished from wants in that, in the case of a need, a deficiency causes a clear adverse outcome: a dysfunction or death.

Needs can be objective and physical, such as the need for food, or subjective and psychological, such as the need for self-esteem.

There are also needs of a social or societal nature.

Needs and wants are a matter of interest in, and form a common substrate for, the fields of philosophy, biology, psychology, social science, and politics.

Psychological definition

To most psychologists, need is a psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a goal, giving purpose and direction to behavior.

The most widely known academic model of needs was proposed by psychologist Abraham Maslow. His theory proposed that people have a hierarchy of psychological needs, which range from security to self-actualization. However, while intuitively appealing, this model has been difficult to operationalize experimentally. It was developed further by Clayton Alderfer.

Dollhouse (season 1)

The first season of the television series Dollhouse, premiered on February 13, 2009, on Fox and concluded its 12-episode season on May 8, 2009. The season aired on Fridays at 9:00 pm ET. Together with Fringe, Dollhouse was a part of Fox's "Remote-Free TV" initiative to keep people from switching channels during commercial breaks. Therefore, every episode of this season was 47–50 minutes long compared to a usual 40–43 minute length for regular network television.

  • Dosage (album)

    Dosage is the fourth studio album by the American alternative rock band Collective Soul. The album was released on Atlantic Records in February 1999 and peaked at #21 on the Billboard albums chart. The album's title was derived from a catchphrase they used to describe burnout after their previous tour.

    The first single from the album, "Heavy", gave the band another #1 hit on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and spent a then record-breaking 15 weeks on the top spot. "Heavy" was also featured in the opening of the video game NHL 2001 and in the 2014 Golden Corral ad. The second single released, "Run", also gained broad mainstream radioplay and was featured on the soundtrack for the 1999 film Varsity Blues.

    Over nine years after the album's release, the single "Tremble for My Beloved" was featured in the 2008 film Twilight and its accompanying soundtrack.

    In 2012, the band performed the album in its entirety (save "Dandy Life") during their Dosage Tour.

    Recording

    Dosage marked a change in recording and style for Collective Soul. Unhappy with the production and sound of the previous album Disciplined Breakdown, the band focused more on production and technique for the recording of Dosage. The result led to an arduous six-month recording period where according to guitarist Dean Roland: "The way we recorded Dosage, we were really meticulous about everything that we did for that record." More than before the band progressed to a high production pop-rock sound. This status was obvious with the extensive use of loops, Pro Tools effects, and synth-pop sounds, especially in comparison with the band's previous three albums which are more organic and raw in sound.

    Needs

    by: Bled

    As the moon waxed and waned,
    He felt the depth of his love shoot right to the surface.
    Overwhelmed by the once suppressed need to devour something whole.
    The shapes began to shift and right before his eyes,
    his angel became his meal.
    Call off your hunt, that kill is mine.
    I'm leaving town with the her blood on my breath,
    Lord knows when we'll feed again.
    I walked away with her hand on my chest,
    Lord knows when we'll feed again.
    Angel, keep your wings clean, and don't get near him if he isn't "Me"
    Angel, until his eyes go red to blue, keep your thoughts as pure as gold,
    Cuz he can read your mind and his head ain't right, no.
    Before the fever leaves our home, play for his salvation.
    He'll say he means no harm.
    Eclipsed eternally now by the echoes of her final breath.
    Roaming tormented from town to town to forever stalk the highway.
    The shapes began to shift and right before my eyes, you became my meal.
