1. The Movement is a rock/reggae/hip hop band originally formed in Columbia, South Carolina, USA in 2004. The original lineup consisted of Josh Swain, Jordan Miller and Jon Ruff (DJ Riggles).
In March 2004 they released their first studio album, On Your Feet, which was recorded and mixed in 24 studio hours at Pat Casey's Modern Music Studios in Columbia, South Carolina. On Your Feet has proved a mainstay of the reggae/rock genre and is listed at #9 on ThePier.org's 10 Essential Reggae Rock Albums.
The band continued to build their following with nonstop touring throughout the Southeastern United States. They enjoyed success in opening for national acts such as Steel Pulse, Blues Traveler, Slightly Stoopid, The Wailers, Ludacris, G. Love & Special Sauce, Common, Long Beach Shortbus, Wu-Tang Clan and 311. Their fanbase was growing steadily but the band wasn't breaking any new ground and the trio began losing interest. After DJ Riggles left the band, the remaining duo found themselves at a crossroads until meeting Philadelphonic Studios producer Chris DiBeneditto (Philadelphonic Records), who was looking for new talent to work with and, having seen the band several times, knew they had enormous potential. Swain and Miller dedicated themselves to their craft and made the move to Philadelphia to record their newest material at Philadelphonic. Chris put his experience with G. Love & Special Sauce, Slightly Stoopid and The Expendables to work on what was to become The Movement's second studio album, 2008's Set Sail. To solidify the band's lineup, DiBeneditto contacted local drummer Gary Jackson to sit-in with Swain and Miller. The three hit it off immediately and Jackson brought in his friend, guitarist Jay Schmidt, to play bass. The four of them proved to be a dynamic quartet and so the current lineup was settled. In late 2010 Swain left the band and Miller took over lead vocals. Miller enlisted the help of an old friend John Bowling (Johnny Keys) to join the band and play keyboard. The new lineup went into the studio in the fall of 2011 to record a new album One More Night which was released in March of 2012. On April 20, 2012 the band suddenly broke up and canceled the rest of the tour. Miller stated he needed a break while Schmidt stated that Miller left to pursue a solo career. In May 2012, it was announced that Swain would rejoin the band and assume lead vocals once more. Bowling had already left the band following the breakup the previous month. The new trio of Swain, Jackson, and Schmidt would continue on. They are slated to release a new album in the Summer of 2013 entitled, Side by Side.
After extensive touring across the United States, The Movement has found new life and is currently gaining huge momentum on the shoulders of their well-received sophomore album.
2. The Movement is a power-trio from Copenhagen/Denmark.They play mod-rock with elements of ska. Their sound is influenced by The Jam, The Who and The Clash.

The Movement Lyrics
Tell me where you going and where you been
Take me away from the world I'm in
Cause when it's filled with sin, crime, strife, and danger
And everybody seems a little bit stranger
I can't seem to find my right of way, I say
It's getting harder every day, in every way
It's hard to explain how I feel, but I know the feeling is real
Whenever my ship sets sail, I'll be on the shore
Dancing with the ocean like I never did before
And watch it as it comes and goes
'Cause I know that someone knows
This is the life for me
And whenever my ship sets sail
I'll be on the beach
Waltzing to the water with the sand beneath my feet
So I can watch another sunrise
You know I can't deny
This is the life for me, the life for me
Whenever my ship sets sail
The water be my daughter
Take it all away, leave me waiting for the slaughter
After the fact it's that this is my habitat
This is the life for me
And wherever the water runs deep
You are not alone
Look up in the sky, let the stars take you home
After the fact it's that, this life is where it's at
This is the life for me
Tell me where you going and where you been
Take me away from the world I'm in/
Cause when I'm giving in to all the pain and pressure
And everybody out there is coming to get you
I'll never let them come and take my soul away, I say
It's getting harder everyday, in every way
It's hard to explain how I feel but I know the feeling is real
Everybody, all the time
Everybody, get right now
Everybody, all the time
Everybody, get right down to it

My cousin passed away this year. He was so sick. I finally told my aunt about how I learned about this song, this year. Him and his white boy reggae, a synchronistic reconnection with an old friend led me here.
Well, first time I heard it, it was HIM that was dancing on the shore in my head. The thought was so sudden and invasive. I believe he was saying his ships came in and he was just fine. Happy, at peace. He was dancing and so healthy. I will never not love this song because of that vision that came to me in between the stress of being a single mom and questioning finances on my ride home. I know I saw him, wherever he was. THAT KINDA HAPPY.

still one of my fav songs. I was lucky enough to see the movement multiple times live with the original lead singer and I wish I could relive the experiences.

They played this in Jersey last Friday. Along with 2 fat scoops of an awesome mix of tunes. Old and New. Absolute LOVE these guys. Their energy is as clean as it comes!❤💛💚 would fully recommend seeing them live if the opportunity presents itself. Side note. My girl and I drove 4.5 hrs each way to see this show!!!100% worth every second and every dime. ❤💛💚
