1. rock/reggae/hip hop band from Philadelphia, PA
2. MOD band from Copenhagen, Denmark.
3. techno group from Los Angeles, CA
4. grime collective from London, UK
5. Indie/Rock band from Dublin, Ireland
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.
3. A techno group from Los Angeles, California consisting of musicians AJ Mora, Richard "Humpty" Vission with rapper/DJ/producer/dancer DJ Hazze, produced by Walter "Kandor" Kahn. They are best known for their 1992 single "Jump!"
Golden
The Movement Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh
And I'll never let this love unfold and fray
So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey
Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief
Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief
Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace
When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf
Frost say nature's first green is gold
But depending on whether the prior scene is told, it's a cycle
Forever infinity remolds the heavens
Relax and let the dream unfold
And why is it so hard for us to see
I'm thinking maybe weu0027re all just in such a rush to be somebody
But first ya know we must be free
And in time you will say- first I must be me...
Frost say nothing gold can stay
I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh
And I'll never let this love unfold and fray
So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey
Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief
Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief
Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace
When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf
Blessed be the water
New wave we honor
Lessons we a keep know gratitude we shout out
Live for each day inside its golden hour
Can't hold it in just give it away
Why frightened men keep fighting always?
Big world asleep but it turning
But the love will increase it no worry
Anywhere we grow the gold seed it returning
Ours is a story that begins today
Who with the power don't forget the grace
Blessed be the water
New wave we honor
Lessons we a keep know gratitude we shout out
We'll be together then
We all recover
Can't keep it in just give it away
Frost say nothing gold can stay
I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh
And I'll never let this love unfold and fray
So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey
Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief
Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief
Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace
When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf
The lyrics to "Golden" by The Movement touch on themes of love, belief, and the pursuit of personal freedom. The song begins with the reference to Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay," which suggests that all good things must come to an end. However, the songwriter challenges this notion by asserting that the weight of a soul cannot be measured, implying that love and goodness can endure. The line "I'll never let this love unfold and fray" expresses the commitment to preserving a love that remains pure and untainted, even in old age.
The next verse includes a reference to Frost's poem "Nature's first green is gold," which contemplates the cycle of life and nature's constant remolding. The songwriter advises listeners to relax and allow their dreams to unfold, emphasizing the importance of embracing life's changes. The lyrics also reflect on the human struggle to find purpose and identity, suggesting that many people are too hurried in their quest to become somebody, when they should focus on being themselves first.
The chorus reinforces the song's central message of cherishing love and spreading hope and peace. The songwriter acknowledges that while Eden may have fallen into grief, they personally choose to believe in the power of a "gold heart" that gives away its goodness selflessly.
Overall, "Golden" encourages listeners to hold onto love, embrace change, and prioritize personal growth and inner freedom.

Holy crap, straight up drum and bass style? And still being able to mix in sounds of the islands in with it. You guys did an amazing job on this. I'm absolutely impressed and I just ran into this song. You guys are newer on my playlist by the way, I've heard you before maybe some years back on Pandora but this year and part of last year is responsible for giving me the time to look into you guys. You guys are amazing artists keep doing what you do. If you're not conform to the ways of society. You guys are helping people evolve spiritually. And I hope that that continues for you as well. I hope you're able to continue to rise above. I need more people doing spiritual music that raises the vibration of souls. People operate at a very low frequency. You guys are helping change that. Thank you so much. I know it's tempting being artists but try to stay away from the booze. I'm not sure if you drink or not but I'll tell you what. I grew up drinking and smoking weed and listen to a lot of reggae like bands that did the drink into and you have your free will to do so but I highly encourage you to let it go because there's so much more and so much higher places to be when you let it go. Your frequency starts raising up and you start hitting places that you never knew existed. You start hitting that unknown place. Beautiful thing I love you guys keep working putting out big hit I hope one day that you get recognized for how great you guys truly are. There ain't nothing like it. You guys are one of a kind
