Growing up in houses just two minutes away from each other in Swords, a working class town near Dublin airport, Stephen Garrigan and Mark Prendergast met aged eight, when they were the only boys in the school choir. Skip forward six years and they recruited Vinny May , also situated a stones throw away and together set about forming the first of myriad bands. The line-up for Kodaline was recently completed by the addition of bassist Jason Boland . The band's name, incidentally, means absolutely nothing. For the moment they wanted something they could take ownership of.
The band became a YouTube sensation with their music video for the song 'All I Want' which tells the heartbreaking beauty-and-the-beast type story. On October 4th 2013 Kodaline released another music video for this song called 'All I Want part 2" this again tells us about the man.
On June 17th 2013, Kodaline released their first studio album, In a Perfect World, with 11 tracks including 'All I Want', 'Pray', 'Love Like This' and 'High Hopes'. The oldest track on their album is 'High Hopes' which was based on a series of breakups that members of the band were facing during that time.
Teaching each other the principles of songcraft, the music they came up with some of which can be found on their self titled EP isn't wan or introspective or self-serving. Instead, it's bold, epic and stirring. Currently maintaining an air of understated mystery, Kodaline are soon set to unveil themselves to the world with these first four tracks recorded with Steve Harris (producer for Dave Matthews band, mixer for U2).
Singles have featured in a number of TV shows, including 'Remember the time' in Grey's Anatomy and 'All I Want' in "The Vampire Diaries". This song was also used ,very effectively, as the backing music in the 2012 Google Zeitgeist advert.
Kodaline have also been doing many tours recently and their last two in the UK were completely sold out. They enjoy being on the stage and are looking forwards to many festivals in the upcoming summer, such as T in the Park and the V festival.
To celebrate the beginning of 2014, Kodaline released an alternative video for their song 'One Day' on January 1st, 2014. Also, on the 15th of January, Kodaline received the EBBA for the people's choice award along with another award for the best Irish Act. This promising band has been acclaimed for their many talents and will surely continue to produce such heart-rendering music.
Kodaline have announced their second album: 'Coming Up For Air' which will be released in February 2015. A couple of the songs have already been made public. They are also going on another tour around various places in the world after it's release, starting in the amazing Glasgow Barrowlands. They will also be returning to America after their last tour was cancelled due to Jay's broken wrist.

Kodaline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you and me used to hide away
Where the stars were shining or the sun was blinding our eyes
Yeah you filled up my glass
With promises that could never last
But I still find pieces of you in the back of my mind
Are not in my heart, they're in my head
That was the time to say goodbye
Let's put it to rest yeah, let it die
'Cause we don't, we don't need to talk about this now
Yeah we've been down that road before
That was then and this is now
The crowds in my heart they've been calling out your name
Now it just don't feel the same
Guess it's over, yeah we're done
I heard you made your way downtown
To the place that I've been hanging around
I was looking for your face in the crowd
But trying to keep my head down
Over time our wires crossed
Well you changed and truth got lost
All the things I would change if we could only rewind
You were a moment in life that comes and goes
A riddle, a rhyme that no one knows
A change of a heart, a twist of fate
Couldn't fix it, it's too late
'Cause we don't, we don't need to talk about this now
Yeah we've been down that road before
That was then and this is now
The crowds in my heart they've been calling out your name
But it just don't feel the same
I guess it's over, yeah we're done
Whoa, oh oh oh
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
The lyrics of Kodaline's song "Talk" are about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer reminisces about the good times that he had with his partner and how they used to spend time together in a peaceful and hidden place. However, he acknowledges that the relationship was built on empty promises that were never going to last. The singer reveals that he still retains some memories of his former partner, but he knows that it's time to let go and move on. The chorus of the song emphasizes the point that there's no need to discuss or relive the past as they're done.
The verses that follow are about how things have changed between the singer and his partner over time. They seem to have grown apart, and the truth about their differences has been lost. The singer wishes that he could fix things and go back in time, but he understands that it's too late as the change of heart and fate has already taken place, and there's no going back.
In a nutshell, "Talk" is about the realization that life doesn't always go as planned, and some relationships may not survive the test of time. The lyrics of the song express the pain and sorrow that come with a relationship that has ended and the need to let go of the past and move on.
Line by Line Meaning
I can remember the good old days
When you and me used to hide away
Where the stars were shining or the sun was blinding our eyes
I recall all the times we spent together, seeking solitude as we gazed at the stars or enjoyed the brilliant sunlight.
Yeah you filled up my glass
With promises that could never last
But I still find pieces of you in the back of my mind
Your words were filled with empty commitments, yet fragments of you remain in the depths of my thoughts.
And all of the things that we once said
Are not in my heart, they're in my head
That was the time to say goodbye
Let's put it to rest yeah, let it die
Our spoken words no longer hold a place in my heart, only lingering in my thoughts. It was time for us to part ways and leave the past behind.
'Cause we don't, we don't need to talk about this now
Yeah we've been down that road before
That was then and this is now
There is no need for us to revisit this topic as we have already traveled this path. That was in the past, and now we must look forward.
The crowds in my heart they've been calling out your name
Now it just don't feel the same
Guess it's over, yeah we're done
My feelings for you used to be strong, but now they feel different. It seems our relationship has ended and we are both moving on.
Over time our wires crossed
Well you changed and truth got lost
All the things I would change if we could only rewind
As time passed, the lines of communication became tangled and you changed, causing us to lose sight of the truth. If I could, I would undo those changes.
You were a moment in life that comes and goes
A riddle, a rhyme that no one knows
A change of a heart, a twist of fate
Couldn't fix it, it's too late
You were but a fleeting moment in my life, a puzzle that could not be solved, and a sudden shift in fate caused our relationship to break beyond repair.
'Cause we don't, we don't need to talk about this now
Yeah we've been down that road before
That was then and this is now
There is no point in reopening this discussion as we have already tackled it. The past is behind us and we need to focus on the present.
Whoa, oh oh oh
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now
We don't, we don't need to talk about this now

@wuferrari
You filled up my glass,
你填滿我的空虛
With promises that could never last
用誓言雖然這些誓言不會永久
And I still find pieces of you in the back of my mind
我依然可以在我心中找到這些你留下的點點滴滴
And all of the things that we once said,
而這些我們曾經說過的所有事情
They're not in my heart, they're in my head
它們已不在我的心中，在我的記憶裡
That was the time to say goodbye
這是該說再見的時候
Let's put it to rest yeah, let it die
讓這些事情安息，讓它去吧

@ShivaChettri
This band is so underrated....they really deserve a hell lotta more recognition and popularity. One of my fav band. Kodaline....
@citroun
Yeah, I get what you mean, haha. It's like only everybody who knows them's little secret :3
@lipgloss123456
Jessica Snyder That's kinda stupid. Saying that you 'like unpopular bands' is saying that you like them because they make you feel like you're different and quirky. If Kodaline became popular it'd mean they'd be making more money, which would give them the opportunity to produce more music, merchandise, and do more touring, which means more people would get to discover them and see them live. I'd much rather have the bands I like get popular so that I have a better chance of seeing them live. Plus, I want them to have the ability to devote all of their time to creating new content. It's a lot nicer for the band if they can actually make money doing what they love rather than working a day job and doing music on the side.
@xsophie7238
same !! Kodaline is like theonlybandi like xD i don't like bands in general but this is so much different and their song have meaning and it's powerful and so beautiful
@lynsaydie6980
I prefer them to be underrated rather than bandwagoners invade my peace.
@sulistiyono2279
It just because the record label not doing promotion if they do like UMG did people around the world will recognize them
