With a small, home-recorded discography posted on YouTube, the songs started to gain some unexpected attention. The band began to attract a small but enthusiastic following that has continued to grow. The song “Never” accompanied by some simple footage of a car journey steadily climbed in views. It had reached an impressive 70,000 hits without any promotion when in 2013, a feature in a Trivago advertisement allowed for “All the Luck in the World” to reach a larger audience, with “Never” being given significant media exposure. Since the airing of the spot, the video has gained over 1,000,000 views.
The band spent much of spring of 2013 at Neil’s home in the quiet Wicklow countryside working hard on writing new material, and after agreeing a deal with Barfilm Records, they began plans to record their debut album. In summer, the group spent 2 weeks recording in Denee, Belgium and another 4 weeks in Berlin recording and mixing. In November they spent some more studio days in Haldern to give the album recordings the final touch and to record two further songs.
After busy recording sessions the band went home to Ireland to rest and began preparations for performing and promoting the record. The album combines the core elements of “All the Luck in the World’s” homemade acoustic sound with larger instrumental arrangements, while maintaining an intimate feel.
Settle
All The Luck In The World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As winter, winter closed in
Closed in
I wrote, I wrote your name in
The settled snow
settled snow
It's love that lets you go
So keep close, keep close
Closed us in
I wrote, I wrote your name in the
Settled breath on the
Window pane
It's love that let's you go
Our scenes stowed away
We're still, In old film
I've been following all your trails
It's just a random paw print
Just a random fucking paw print
The lyrics to All The Luck In The World's song Settle evoke a sense of melancholy and longing. The opening line, "You kept, you kept me close," sets the tone for a relationship that has a sense of security and comfort. However, as winter closes in, there's a sense of isolation and confinement that surrounds the couple. The repeated line, "It's love that lets you go," adds to the feeling of longing and loss.
The second verse brings up the imagery of writing the loved one's name in the settled snow and breath on the window pane. These acts serve as a way to leave a mark, to make sure they're not forgotten. The line, "Our scenes stowed away, we're still in old film," further emphasizes that this relationship is stuck in the past, unable to move forward.
The final verse includes the intriguing line, "I've been following all of your trails, it's just a random paw print." Here, the singer suggests that they've been trying to track their loved one, but only come across a random paw print, a non-specific trace of where they've been. This leaves the listener with a sense of ambiguity and confusion as to the fate of the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to Settle are beautifully crafted and emotionally powerful. The sense of longing and loss is palpable throughout the song, creating an emotional response in the listener.

You kept, you kept me close
You held onto me tightly, not wanting to let go
As winter, winter closed in
As the cold season approached, signaling the end of something
Closed in
Nothing else mattered or existed outside of our bubble
I wrote, I wrote your name in
I immortalized you by etching your name into the snow
The settled snow
The quiet aftermath of a storm, a moment to reflect
It's love that lets you go
The paradox of love, needing to set someone free even though it hurts
So keep close, keep close
Hold onto each other tightly, for fear of losing what is dear
Cause winter, winters closed us in
We were trapped in a season of change, with no escape
I wrote, I wrote your name in the
I left a mark on the world to prove our love existed
Settled breath on the
A fleeting moment captured forever in a breath on the window
Window pane
The barrier that separates us from the outside world
Our scenes stowed away
Our memories hidden away, cherished in secret
We're still, In old film
We remain frozen in time, like a scene from an old movie
I've been following all your trails
I have been keeping track of all the little things that make you who you are
It's just a random paw print
The small details may seem insignificant, but they reveal a bigger picture
