High hopes
Steve:
Hey, we're Kodaline and this is our track by track. Yeah the next
song on the album is called 'High hopes'. I remember the day that I
wrote it it went up to Marks house and showed it to him and stuff.
It's interesting, the video have five minutes on them. Mark:
It was called roulette. Steve:
Yeah, but it's just about, I mean, I just dropped out of college and
no real direction, realy. No plans, and going through the break up as
well. Yeah lots of stuff happened then and I was going through a
though time and I remembered thinking that I was feeling bad. I mean,
think Positive. Positive thinking is the most powerful thing. And
then I showed it and sat down and I.. Mark: except for a shark attack. Steve:
Except a shark attack. Yeah, you can't take a positive shark, there
just going mug, man. The day I wrote it, the first person I showed it
to was my dad. And then he, I dropped out of college and I was like:
'hey, I wrote this song' and he kind of came over to me and I sat
down and I played it and I turned around to him and he goes: 'That's
cool, are you going to college tomorrow?' I was like.. I didn't
actually tell him. He thought I was in college for a whole year but I
wasn't in college. Mark:
it's an old song so there is no chord in it but then we were trying
to make it a litte hip hop and put a drum beat on it, jazz basically.
And it brought the song to a whole new place. And that's how we
released it, record it and we still love it. Steve:
Positive thinking.

Steve:
Hey, we are Kodaline and this is our track by track. The next song on
the album is love like this. It's actually after 'all I want' was
written about a relationship that failed and eum, it was a tough
break up then this was written about kinda like, what's it called? A
rebound, I supose. Mark:
A fling. Steve:
A fling. Vinny:
A fling. Steve:
but it was like one of those relationship that wasn't going anywhere
but for some reason I didn't mind with it. It was summer as well and
you know.. Yeah, I know it wasn't going to
last probably because I was still hung op on the other one of all I
want but.. Vinny:
She was sharpen in. Mark:
But it's quicker, at least now. Whenever when we stepped in off the
music in Steve's sisters bedroom just because there's a mandoline in
there. And steve's was playing the mandoline and I was playing guitar
and this song just happened really quickly. Jay:
We love when making the video as well, it's the first video that we
were allowed to be in. Be part of the whole making process. It gives
us a whole inside in the world. Mark:
And Steve got slapped around. Jay:
we got, we mixed all the slapping so we just satting back while he.. Steve:
you go slapping all the time with any one so.. All
the rest: Ssshhtt! Vinny:
We gave them some coaching Jay:
you want more? Mark:
it's incredibly Irish, this song. But we are Irish so the completing
process just happen like that. Steve:
It would really be strange if we were Japanese or something. Mark:
we love playing it live and.. Steve:
it's cool, I mean.. it's happy but it's sad. The lyrics are sad and
happy. Yeah, but it's just about.. I'm not gonna name any names but
you know who you are. I was joking.

Steve:
Hey, we are Kodaline and this is our track by track. Eum,
the second song of the album is a song called 'All I want'. This
song was,.. I went through a break up with a relationship and
I basically just wrote a song about it, exactly how I felt and every
line in that is basically exactly what I was going through. It
was a lot of fun to record. Mark:
It's a lot of fun live. Steve:
it's cool, I mean, it's such a honest song. There's an.. Vinny:
And the way that we start it. When we fist played the song in
the rehearsal room is kinda it's kinda stayed exactly the same. Mark:
Yeah, the first time we kinda just trying to do it, it's pretty much
identical to how we do it now. Vinny:
It stayed the same, what was kinda.. Mark:
That happened with like a few songs on the album, it happened
with a song that's called 'All comes down to you' but it's rare
when that happens but when it does happen, it's like, you get this
feeling which it really cool. Everything just falls into place. Steve:
every lyrics is basically exactly what I was doing. I was in my
room, I was on my own, I was alone. And actually funny enough I
watched a film called '500 days of Summer' and eum, it just, I think anybody
comes out of relationships should really watch that film because
it's very true to life. And there's a line in it that I was kinda a bit
took after I was watch that film and that's 'our love was made for movie
screens.' Mark:
this song, a friend of ours called Stevie Russel, he heard the song
and he was came up with the idea from the video and he wanted, he
got the song and just made up this whole story in his head and came
to us: 'I want to make a video' and at first we were kinda stand off
about it but then we went trough it and he did it and.. Steve:
we just really wanted a video with a story that complimented the song
in a good way and then when he first send us his idea of this song I
saw a picture of a monster and then it just read on where the hell
is this going? - But then we read through the script and it just
fitted the
song perfectly and the message was really good. The combination of
the video and the song, we liked it, yeah. Mark:
And that's all I want. Steve:
That's all I want.

Steve: Hey, we're Kodaline and this is our track by track.The
inspiration behind this track was kinda just.. It's really strange
because this song wasn't originally supposed to be on the album. We
recorded the album and then, eum, I
kinda, I wrote it during the process of recording the album and it
ended up being on the album but it's kinda like.. It's just like not
taking life to seriously. Mark: Recording 'one day' was cool because it just completely,.. We played it live. We did it in Rock A Field and it was one of the last songs we did and I was like: we weren't really sure what we were doing but the song was there. But we weren't sure we were playing it until we went in the studio and did two takes and our producer Steve Harris was like: 'That's it, you don't have to do any more.' It was quick to record, it was very quick to record. We recorded it in half a day. Shorter, it was like we did it and that was it. And it was done and we really liked the track. so we got it. And it's a good way to open the album. And that's one day.
