One thing about roaming around the city is that obviously you wouldn't be doing so without a thought in your head. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Being left alone with your thoughts is a surefire way to allow the thoughts and ideas you've been suppressing for weeks to make their way to the forefront of your mind.
Kodaline's "Follow Your Fire" is a warm vocalization of what could have been. The lyrics reflect on a past relationship that ended in a loss of contact, leaving behind the wonder of where the other half of the couple ended up and what they're doing now. Kodaline leaves you with a question to apply to your own life: "Did you follow you fire?"
Did you do that thing that you wanted to but never had the courage to go for? Did you reach out to that person you had been meaning to before it was too late to do so? What are your biggest regrets? As existential crisis inducing as these questions may sound, Kodaline accounts for this despair and anxiety by presenting it to listeners as an upbeat pop track about disconnected love.

About The Curator - Larisha Paul
Larisha Paul is a journalism student at New York University with a beat in music, which is entirely fitting considering the way she lives life.
She’s the friend who always sends new music recommendations to the group chat saying, “This reminded me of you” or “This sounds like something you would like.” She’s the type of person who is constantly being talked out of impulsively buying concert tickets–but does it anyway, and the person who is always in charge of providing the perfect playlist for long drives, or for just hanging out.
She’ll talk to anyone about music for as long as they’ll let her, but please don’t ask her to narrow down her favorite anything (songs, albums, artists, bands) because she’d rather not have an actual breakdown.
