Moving (Supergrass song)


"Moving" is a song by Supergrass from their eponymous third album, Supergrass. It is about the tedium of touring as a band. Released as a single in September 1999, "Moving" reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Supergrass's last top-ten hit to date. In addition, it peaked at number 14 in Finland, where it is the band's sole top-twenty hit, and number 81 in the Netherlands. The song later appeared on their greatest hits compilation Supergrass Is 10: The Best Of 1994–2004.
The song has featured in the British film comedy East Is East, at the beginning of the closing credits, and in the episode of Holby City "Tough Love". It was also sampled by MC Lars for his song "Ahab", about Moby-Dick.

Music video

The video, like the song, is intended to depict the tedium of touring. The passing of time is shown by the change of outfits the band are wearing, their slight changes in appearance, the selection of different hotel rooms they are seen in, and the assortment of hotel room keys displayed. Footage is sped up and slowed down, and scenes are rewound and repeated to add to the film's effect.
