about

Caroline is a song about a couple of things really. She was a international student that rented a room in the basement of our house when I was a kid and she was there when my parents’ marriage was pretty much imploding, fuck knows what she witnessed. The chorus line that keeps repeating is ‘Life keeps on moving all the time’ which is a reference to the crazy amount of times I moved house with my mum after that. I remember getting the first mix pass back from Paddy B and hearing that reverb swell he put in at the end of the bridge and loving it, we also added a nice mellotron in at a later stage which at the time we were unsure of but I really think it helps lift the song now.

lyrics

So, you were right to leave Caroline
Turns out that we would lose every time
And all the noise that covers all the signs
Say life keeps on moving all the time

So, we submit and say it was true
And then the hotel fell onto you
And all the noise covers all the signs
But life keeps on moving all the time

And when we play our part
Come back down
And let it start
And when the night creeps in
Come back to me
And start again

So, you were right to leave Caroline
Turns out that we would lose every time
And all the noise it covers the signs
Saying love keeps on moving all the time
Oh, yeah, your life keeps on moving all the time
