Listen here, watch the video here.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKodaline are bowing out in tremendous fashion with their final album We Were Only Young, a grand emotive and heartfelt record of the greatest music they have made in years. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe reflective album captures the hard yet fulfilling journey through life, with a contemplative look on growth, the power of relationships, the development and strength of love, with an uplifting look to the future and becoming content with closure. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFans were treated to the first taste of We Were Only Young with the release of the anthemic title track earlier this year. The song was quick to prove another Kodaline hit, receiving over six million streams to date with widespread airplay coming throughout the UK and Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe Were Only Young weaves a tapestry between beautiful ballads, from the soft and soaring acoustics of ‘All I Ever Need Is You’, to the piano and gospel-laced ‘Learn To Lose’. While the tender songs are joined by huge such pop anthems, such as the bright ‘It’s Not Over’, and the propulsive harmony driven ‘Get Me High’. A jubilant folk bounce rings out through ‘Vultures’, complimenting the haunting cavernous sounds that mark the beginning and end to the record, which launches with the bold and brooding ‘Who Will Save You Now’ and closes with the uplifting yet solemn ‘The One For Me’. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the album Steve says, “I wrote this album over the last four years, and when I started it, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to write songs anymore. The record became a way of making sense of a really important period in my life, getting married, dealing with loss, uncertainty, and the end of the band. Some of the songs are deeply personal, while others found their meaning over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf anybody takes anything from it, I’d like to think it might help them through their own tough times, whether that’s love, loss, grief, uncertainty, or whatever life throws at them. Music has always had that power for me, and I hope these songs can do that for someone else too.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor something I never thought I’d do, or even get through, I’m very proud of it. And I’m very proud of everything we’ve achieved as a band over the years.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40428412928201,"sku":"898163","price":64.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/898163-Product-0-I-639166542002252779.jpg?v=1781057465","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/vinyl-kodaline-we-were-only-young-vinyl-lp","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
