Kodaline are an Irish Pop-Rock band comprising vocalist Stephen Garrigan, guitarist Mark Prendergast, drummer Vinny May and bassist Jason Boland. This is a song from their debut release, The Kodaline EP. The band's name means absolutely nothing. According to Garrigan they just wanted something they could take ownership of. "We made it up ourselves, but we later found out it's a character on f---in World Of Warcraft," he said. "I promise you, we've never even played the game. It's just a bizarre coincidence."
This slow burner featured in the season 9 episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Remember the Time." It was also used as the background music for Google's 2012: Year In Review video.
The song captures the despair that Stephen Garrigan felt when his then-girlfriend flew off on holiday and returned home with a new guy. He told The Sun: "The breakup was two years before. It takes some people longer to get over stuff. Every word is autobiographical. It was pure hell. "I was in my attic," he continued," just lying there, isolating myself from everything and feeling sorry for myself. When I wrote that song, it was a f---ing weight off my shoulders. It's a sad song, but then again it's a positive song, because it says I'll find somebody. Life goes on."
