Underrated Song: Moving On-Kodaline

I’ve been in a state of writer’s block for the past few days both for this blog and my personal writing. I often find inspiration through places and music. About a month ago, I was at a diner. At this diner, I automatically thought of the song All Too Well by Taylor Swift. I’m not sure what connected the place to the song in my mind but it was something I have not felt in a very long time. I may explore this experience in a future post. Since I know what inspires me, I made a little playlist of what I wanted to listen to, specifically what I wanted to listen to today. Here is that playlist. https://open.spotify.com/user/grandnative/playlist/5Mw6SMxrfRX12BA4yGBKxX

Usually the playlists I make have some sort of theme or commonality but not this one. This playlist had some slightly harder songs and some softer songs. One of the softer songs was Moving On by Kodaline. I am in love with this song. Before I bought Coming Up For Air, I listened to the album on YouTube. When this song played I was instantly taken aback. Garrigan’s vocals in this song are haunting yet enchanting. That aspect is emphasized by this song being a piano ballad with a small synth addition in the second verse. When I first found this song, I was disappointed to find that there was no YouTube lyric video. A song as great as this should have more recognition. Some people find Kodaline bland as a band but the simplicity of this song is breathtaking. Moving On is the younger brother of All I Want and is worth the listen. I hope you check it out!
