Story behind the song
this song developed from a "same old shit on a different day" vibe to a "life can be hard, but keep moving along, things will sort out". like alot of my songs, it started off with a cool drum loop and a hypnotic bass line, then a little simple tinkering melody found its way in there. After releasing it as a single, I decided to rework the song for the EP, rewrote lyrics and gave it more of a message.
Lyrics
keep moving, keep moving along (x4) so what do you say, when everything don't go you way do you throw it all in, and forget it? dont try to keep faith, cos every time you do its a waste just live out your days happy, dont regret it keep moving, keep moving along (x4) sometimes its a shame, to let people you love slip away but the footprints will always dissolve with the tide change but dont try too hard, cos the poisons can mix with the scars and you'll easily get lost, finding your way, finding your way keep moving, keep moving along oh, you're waiting, you're watching, the constant starting/stopping the mindless repeating, your heart, it wont stop beating till its too late, and then you slowly slip away not going away keep moving, keep moving along
